This isn’t a bad thing because the options available to the developer are limited in this genre. Listening to this through high-quality headphones was fantastic and completed the aggressive experience. Machine gun fire fills the air as bombs and missiles explode. The hard-hitting beats push you to go faster and are only bettered by the booming sound effects. The visual presentation is super smooth and enhances the gaming experience to no end.Ī futuristic fantasy racer was always going to be infused with high tempo music. I also enjoyed the ship designs, the array of unlockable liveries, and the clean UI. Combining this with tight racing lines made a fast-paced game, faster still. You’ll race through canyons, across icy tundra and above molten lava. Fortunately, Skydrift Infinity is different! It has run with its fantasy roots and created wild tracks for you to enjoy. Yes, I love the realism and I see why fans adore it, but it’s not for me. I’m not the biggest fan of traditional racing games as I tire of the similar track layouts. Hot stuff coming through! Skydrift Infinity will test veterans with its tight stages and various locations. Will you blast through the air with your rapid plane, or soak up the missiles with a slow but heavily armed vehicle? The choice is yours, so think wisely and consider the track you are racing on. With an array of stats that vary per vehicle, finding the right one for you is easier said than done. Weapons are all good, but finding the correct plane is essential. Deathmatch and elimination battles change your thought process and you’ll grab homing missiles, machine guns, and bombs. If you lead the race, you’ll want to think defensively: shields, EMPs, and repair kits are key. With six to choose from and the ability to carry only two, you must think wisely. Arming yourself with the correct power-up for any given moment is essential. Skydrift Infinity is slightly different, however. It’s not all mindless racing.įans of the genre will know that racing games are all about skill and memorising the tracks. You may think, “why risk your life? Just get on and race!” The answer? The more stunts you perform the more energy you gain to help fill up your afterburners. The claustrophobic stages have you performing death-defying moves as you twist and turn around the winding courses.

Soaring through the air, skimming the ground, and swooping through crevices got the adrenaline pumping. There are five different races to select from, sixteen planes and eight-player multiplayer events.Īll of this action is taken up a notch as you are no longer defined by a 2D plane. However, things are mixed up a little because of the introduction of a class system and different modes. Effectively finish first, or dodge missiles and survive the longest. Like in most racing games, Skydrift Infinity uses a simple concept. Skydrift Infinity sucks you in with its simple concept. It’s enthralling and you’ll love the fast-paced action. You’ll dodge projectiles, shoot your foes, and boost past enemies.

Set in a random parallel universe, Skydrift Infinity demands that you put aside your morals and win every race using any method possible. What happens if you are the competitor? How does your demeanour alter when you are vying for that gold medal position? Skydrift Infinity allows you to answer that question as you take to the sky in a plane laced with weapons.ĭeveloped by Digital Reality and published by HandyGames and THQ Nordic, this is a deadly racing, flying title. If you have a vested interest you’ll scream, jump up and down, and beg for your racer to win. Racing, in whatever format is enthralling and gets the heart pumping.
