Wish the article got into how this differs from or is related to the already well established Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart mod built on the Doom engine.

It's essentially a sequel with very different mechanics. Also there's a proper singleplayer campaign with bots, different cups and achievements. It's a bit difficult but I'm having fun with it.

The onboarding is... Pretty rough though. The tutorial is actually half an hour long.

Wait how does a kart racing game have a half hour tutorial? Lol

[–] simple@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has waaaaaaaay more mechanics than other karting games. Stuff like fast dropping, spin dashing, like 5 levels of drifting, boosting to pierce shortcut gates... You really don't need to know half of it, but the tutorial does go over everything.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My biggest issue is the amount of buttons and the mapping. Other than that, the tutorial dies di a decent job at teaching the player. I believe there is a way to skip the tutorial but others would have to comment on that.

I was thinking of playing it with my kids...

Guess not.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a bit more difficult than most kart racers, yeah. I would recommend the previous one (SRB2K) instead. Super Tux Kart is alright too, probably more fun for kids than for you though. It's very basic.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Super indie kart is also great and has a very similar feel to it.
