I recently opened a mobile game store, and the screen was full of racing games that were all about skin-changing and card-drawing. You can only unlock a painted car by charging 648, and you have to go online every day to save parts. What's even more disgusting is a bunch of so-called "Need for Speed" IP adaptations. When entering, you just click on automatic acceleration and automatic drift, and watch animations throughout the process without even touching the steering wheel. Is this called a racing game? 🤮
Fortunately, I found a treasured independent game called "Speed Racing Club", which directly cured my electronic impotence. This game actually relies entirely on manual shifting! You heard it right, it's the kind of real physics simulation of clutch, throttle, and speed coordination. If you start gearing too late, it will stall immediately. If you slow down in a corner and don't downshift, you can drift into the wall. When I first started playing, I couldn't even pass the first level, but after practicing for half an hour, I finally realized the feeling of the human and the car becoming one. That kind of sense of accomplishment can never be given by a card-drawing game. 😎
The most conscientious thing is that this game does not have any in-app purchases! No stamina bar! No season pass! More than 70 cars, from classic cars to modern supercars, are all unlocked through competition. 20 professional drivers with different personalities accompany you in the story mode. Each opponent has a different AI routine, unlike some online games where all the robots are filled with top-up bosses. Moreover, you can DIY paint and modify the wheels yourself. All exterior parts can be obtained through the plot or challenges, and no krypton gold lottery is required. The developer Taoteng Technology did not make core operations such as shifting and braking into paid props. I was moved to tears. 😭
The only downside to this game is that it's difficult because it really does require practice like real racing. But if you are fed up with those garbage mobile games that automatically fire, automatically drift, and automatically earn gold, and want to get back your passion for rubbing the steering wheel in the arcade, it is highly recommended to download and give it a try. Remember, a real driver doesn't need an automatic, let alone a card draw! 🚗💨
