Draiva (Early Access) – Race Other Players on Randomly-Generated Tracks with Cars from Popular TV Shows and Movies

Game Review

Draiva is an old-school themed driving game that incorporates cars from popular phenomena through the decades!

The game is a relaxed racing game at its core, though it controls like Mario Kart on the NES. It features a top-down view where you can drive on tracks complete with scenery and even a day and night cycle. It’s actually very pleasurable and relaxing just to cruise around.

The default view puts you down in an isometric view, but you can also switch to first-person and even traditional perspectives such as chasing cams as well.

But that’s not the cool part.

You can choose from over 14 different cars in the current version. You can pick cars from Back to the Future, Starsky & Hutch, The Flintstones, Dukes of Hazzard, and even The Blues Brothers.

Pick your favorite ride and cruise in a voxel-based version and race other players on tracks. The tracks are varied and random and can even be shared with other players using seed codes.

The game doesn’t really offer anything else at this point other than a joyride. But it’s actually pretty entertaining. You can race other players and win the race, but you’ll have more fun just cruising around as your favorite vehicle from your favorite show.

Oh, and if you crash, you can screw up your position easily.

It’s still in early development so the controls are a little sloppy. But it’s still very fun to play for any racing fan. The voxel graphics, spiffy artwork, and the fact that you can ride in the roller from The Flintstones and race against Starsky & Hutch is just awesome.

Try out Draiva. It’s worth a play.
