Any other PC drifting games with low-to-med spec requirements?
I don't think so.
Pros:
+ Very nice drifting physics
+ Quite a lot of cars, many still in development though
+ Not Pay2win
+ Vinyl system encourages creativity and allows you to replicate real life liveries (although with fictional aftermarket logos)
+ You compete against other people's ghost record = no lag, no sync error, you can pause mid-match
+ Money farming isn't tedious and slow
+ Car customization: body kits, rims, spoilers, vinyls and decals
+ Fine tuning option is one of the best and most complete among lots of racing games.
+ Perfect for both casual drift players and hardcore drift enthusiasts
+ You can play this using keyboard (now, think about how many drifting games impossible to play on keyboard.. and then there's Peak Angle, which is comfy on keyboard!)
Cons:
- You compete against other people's ghost record = not 100% multiplayer, but hey, I'll still take it
- No car performance downgrade feature (yet).
- Many of the cars still don't have customizable body kits (many visual models are still in development, so this makes sense).
Controversial topic:
The developers have recently decided to put three-quarter of the total car amount into DLCs. Now, before everyone goes crazy, I'd like to inform that all players who have accumulated over 500.000 Credits (Cr) at any point of their gameplay get free access to all DLCs; they can buy the cars in-game without having to purchase the DLCs.
On the other hand, new players who buy the game after the DLC update are left with only 7 cars. Although this game is not pay-to-win at all, this renders all newer players unable to collect cars without buying DLCs.
However, are the DLCs worth the money? While most people will answer "No", I leave the answer to all of you. One DLC contains 2 to 4 cars, some even with a body-kit set unlock. Surely, if a player likes the content of a DLC, they will definitely buy it. But, with the price of the DLCs right now? I can say that most people will choose other games, and I agree. However, this is due to the fact that many of the game's cars are still in development.
Therefore, I can conclude that this DLC implementation is rather too early as the game itself still doesn't have enough cars.
Conclusion:
A perfect drift game for both casual and drift enthusiasts. Although the game is still in development, it is really good in terms of physics and customization. If you don't have a really beefy PC but want a nice and non-demanding drifting game, you should really consider picking this one up.
NOTE:
After the Version 205 update, the game connection might've been bugged a bit. At the moment, players might experience an issue in profile saving.
However, FEAR NOT! The devs are the kind that listen to the players! They're active on the forum and take suggestions, as well as answer players' questions. Additionally, they always try to provide solutions to players' problems.

Dont buy it. I had fun when I bought it when I didnt have to pay for the DLCs to get cars but now you do. Therefore you are going to buy the game and use the same cars unless you buy overpriced DLC FOR AN ALPHA GAME!

I bought a pack on this game a while ago and now I can't even log in because it says there is a connection problem. I live in Canada, Ontario so it may be a server problem, but I do not recommend this game for anyone. Just get a different game I'm sure there are better ones out there. It's a quick low budget Russian game so I shouldn't have expected any less.

Never trust a Russian. They've re-released this game under another name and stopped updating this copy of it.

Dont bother with this game, the devs seem to have tossed it away in favor for a new game that already has dlc before it's even launched. Stay away from this game and any future games from this company. And as a extra middle finger to the player base, owners of peak angle dont get a discount to the new game as "its a different game".
OLD REVIEW BELOW:
This was a good game. Good physics, visuals were decent, and the customization was good enough. So, how do you fuck it up? I'll tell you, They took nearly all the cars, removed the ingame money, then hid them all behind a dlc wall. Not only that but the packs are WAY too over priced for what you get. If it was 5 to 4 dollars i could live with it but 9 to 7 for packs that add 3 to 4 cars is a rip off. Your better off saving your money for something else. Shame as this game had potential then they just let greed take over development and now we get this.
UPDATE 3/4/2017
Boy how money hungry are they? Not only are they making the dlc packs over priced but now there is a deluxe edition? Lol what? Alright then gather around everyone we are going to do a bit of math.
They have reduced the price to 9 dollars for the base game. Then we have 4 dlcs, all over priced as they give nothing that would demand the price they are at now. With tax and such its 10+9+7+6+5. That equals 37 dollars for base game and all dlc separately. All together with the scam pack and its 23 dollars. This is still a giant rip off. For both prices your still getting next to nothing for content, drift phyics from what feels like a game from 2005, mediocre graphics and sound effects and zero online gameplay(Sorry peak angle ghosts of players on the track with you doesn't count as multiplayer). Your better off buying assetto corsa with the japan car pack then modding it. Sure it may be more expensive but trust me you will get far more enjoyment from that then this.
UPDATE 10/9/2017
At this point dont get the game at all. Its abandoned by the devs at this point. Their main website is gone and their forum hasn't had any recent posts. Game is dead and seems to have only been made to get some quick money.

After watching the "GTR-35 Tandem" trailer that is clearly advertising multiplayer capabilities, I bought this game for myself and two friends. You can only imagine my disappointment to realize that there is NO real time multiplayer. Feeling 100% ripped off and wouldn't recommend this game to anyone wanting to play with friends or a crew.

As fun as this game is. The Devs have completely abandoned it. Instead of updating it, they copy and paste the game, then re-sell it. There hasn't been a content update in ages, Just a whole bunch of Promotions, Contests, and Bullshit.
Although the game itself is alright, it can be a bit grindy to unlock new vehicles.
Thanks for reading this review and I hope you make an informed decision about this game. Bye.
