About the Game

Star Drift Evolution is a minimalistic racing game with fun and challenging driving physics, where powersliding through corners is the fastest way to drive. It's all about skill: Picking the right car for the right track and executing each corner perfectly. Can you do it?

PHYSICS WITH A GREAT FEEL OF WEIGHT:

  • Refined physics that make a stylish and challenging driving experience. Throw the car into twisty corners, feel the weight and slide like a champ.

MASTER 75 TRACKS

  • Discover a great variety of tracks, ranging from simple dirt ovals to challenging point-to-point tracks.

PICK FROM OVER 50 CARS, EACH WITH DIFFERENT STATS:

  • Find the best car for each track, while choosing between stats like top speed, acceleration, grip and downforce.

PLAY AGAINST AI, FRIENDS ONLINE OR IN SPLIT SCREEN

  • Race the AI in the Single Player Career and beat all 450 Star Challenges.
  • "Trackmania Style" Online Multiplayer without car collisions, so all players can focus on perfecting their own driving line, for up to 20 players.
  • Race with up to 4 friends in split screen multiplayer. You can also beat Star Challenges from the Career while playing in co-op together.

PICK YOUR FAVORITE PLAY STYLE: CLASSIC TOP DOWN OR ARCADE CHASE CAM

  • Pick among classic top down cameras or typical arcade chase cams - or customize your own camera and play the way you want.

MINIMALISTIC AND EASY TO LEARN - HARD TO MASTER

  • Easy controls, no grind, simple UI. Get racing quickly and be competitive right away. Focus on the core gameplay: The mastery of drifting.

BEAT OTHER PLAYERS' GHOSTS AND CLIMB ON THE LEADERBOARDS

  • The automatic ghost replay system lets you climb the leaderboard while always facing the ghost replay of the next opponent on the leaderboard.

SOUNDTRACK

  • Enjoy a selection of over 25 retro and synthwave songs from artists like Kenobit, Electroshark, Luke McQueen II and more.

CONTROLLER AND WHEEL SUPPORT:

  • The game has full controller support and allows to manually change the button mapping in-game.
  • Testers have also reported that their wheel (Thrustmaster T150 in this case) worked after manually mapping the buttons correctly, however, wheel support can not be guaranteed for all wheels.
