My dude, as a big fan of Initial D and eurobeat music, I’m too biased to rate the game. But I did anyway! :D
I love animations in this game, so smooth, such 3D! Gear shifter animations especially are juicy af, which is super important.
The game turned out to be Hard, but it’s to be expected from being Takumi in a high-stakes battle. Although, it almost feels too punishing for the length of one stage. You really have to sit on the edge and not even blink for the whole length of the song, which feels realistic to me, maybe a bit too much. A golden rule I use to balance the difficulty when developing games: to make it appropriately hard for an average player, make it frustratingly easy for you as a developer.
And the music is just HO-LY COW! I know all this melodies by heart, thanks for this gift! If I didn’t have a ringtone, I would definitely borrow these tunes! XD
I’m definitely not done with this game, will be back to beat it. 10/10, best racing arcade since Tokyo Extreme Racer! XD
