Gameplay

Drift City is a cel-shaded racing video game which includes single-player and multi-player modes to play. The currency earned while playing can be spent on customizing owned cars, collecting new parts or buying some new rides. A large majority of missions involves reaching targets, occasionally with a time or crash limit, while following the arrow, similar to Crazy Taxi. Successfully completing a mission or a race gives a certain amount of experience points and Mito. As an arcade-style racer, the physics make game feel faster and less prone to hazards.
There are 9 different types of cars, sorted by their power and overall quality. Before some of these can be unlocked, it is necessary to meet level requirements. At a certain point of time, the players will be informed of the location of a fugitive HUV that is near. If that request is accepted, the car chase starts with a time limit where the goal is to hit the runaway car until durability reaches zero.
At any time, the player can slide/drift the car that is controlled, which allows taking corners as quickly as possible. The game will reward risks while driving by filling up the boost meter, which can be used for super speed. Combos are performed when players drive dangerously, such as doing so while in a traffic, opposite lane, or drifting.
What lies beneath the community aspect of Drift City are Crews that can be joined, where the players can chat, participate in single or team duels, or share missions with other people around. There is a central hub which includes things like the Battle Zone and various shops.
