Free cross-platform kart racing game
KartRider: Drift is a free-to-play cross-platform kart racing game for PC. Developed by NEXON Korea Corporation, this game lets you race against players from other gaming consoles. The game is a global hit due to its cute character designs, smooth gameplay physics, and wide customization options.
KartRider: Drift feels like a cross between the child-friendly graphics of Team Sonic Racing and the racing skills required from a game like Winter Extreme Racers. While you can customize your character and your kart as much as you want, make sure that you also have the skills to win races.
Be the fastest, meanest racer
In terms of visuals, KartRider: Drift is as appealing as it is addictive. Its characters involve cartoonish designs with oversized heads, making their custom headgears and outfits especially visible even when they’re on the road. It has sharp graphics, making racing easier. However, its level designs are increasingly challenging, requiring a certain level of skill to make sharp turns that could spell victory or defeat.
Don’t let the cute graphics fool you, though. This game is highly competitive and after the first few tries, its matchmaking lobby might reveal its smurfs: expert players using an alternate, low-level account to prey on new players. Unless you have the skills to match, you can only watch them pass you by or blast you with any of the weapons available on the racetrack.
Lastly, the game tries to maintain a level playing field for everyone by making its paid content purely for cosmetic purposes only. Meaning, there are no items bought with real money that can magically improve your kart’s speed or handling. It keeps the game fair, at least until player skills come are factored in. Also, the game keeps introducing new content and challenges every season, keeping the game fresh for everyone.
Experience fun and action
With KartRider: Drift, you get to experience the thrill of high-speed racing plus the tension of having weapons pointed at you at every turn–all wrapped in visually fascinating character and stage design. All in-app purchases are only for cosmetic purposes, keeping it fair for players without deep pockets. The only problem for new players are smurfs lurking in the public servers. Highly recommended.
