#DRIVE Rally | Early Access Release Trailer
This first release already contains plenty of environments to drive around - forest, swamp, slippy slidey ice world, desert - and each one is a large expanse that can then be carved into multiple tracks. Nature tourism is one of the biggest draws of rally racing to me, and I hope at least one of these tracks has a mountain I can fall off.
The developers say they hope to keep Drive Rally in Early Access for a year, with new content and balance adjustments made based on feedback. “This includes the addition of new cars to expand our garage, new maps and tracks to race on, new Co-Pilots to drive with, and additional car customization parts and items,” according to the Steam page. Based on my short time with it, co-pilots definitely need some work. They’re a throwback to the ’90s in multiple ways in that the advice they give you is borderline unhelpful and they occassionally chime in with some mean comment about your driving delivered in a stereotypical accent of some sort.
If you fancy checking out its blocky, cel-shaded cars for yourself,it’s available from Steam now.
