About
Rise as a Drift Master and Missile Car Mechanic in DRIFT ISLAND!
Welcome to DRIFT ISLAND, the ultimate open-world drifting playground where you don’t just drive—you shred every corner in style. Build your own missile car, fine-tune its guts, and let loose on the legendary Drift Island. Whether you’re a veteran sideways slider or fresh to the scene, DRIFT ISLAND offers an immersive, high-octane experience that puts you in control of every detail of your drift machine.
Key Features:
Early Access Drifting Action
We’re launching in Early Access so you can join us on this journey to perfect the drift experience. Expect regular updates packed with new parts, legendary drift cars, track expansions, and engine upgrades—designed with the feedback of dedicated drifters like you.
Build & Customize Your Missile Cars
From iconic JDM legends to the most popular engines around, tune every aspect of your ride. Swap in high-performance parts, adjust suspension geometry, fiddle with the turbo, and push your car to its limit. But be warned: a poorly tuned engine can blow—literally! Master the art of tuning to avoid costly explosions and keep your drift missile in prime condition.
Legendary Drift Island
Explore an open-world environment built for sliding. Take on serpentine mountain roads, industrial zones, and hidden spots that’ll test your skills behind the wheel. Rack up drift points, impress other gearheads, and uncover new challenges as you leave smoking rubber in your wake.
Intense Damage System & Repairs
Ride the ragged edge long enough and your car will start to show it. Smacking guardrails, clipping barriers—collisions and mechanical failures are part of life on Drift Island. Keep your missile car in top shape by repairing broken parts or face the risk of your precious engine giving up mid-drift.
Earn Cash, Upgrade, Repeat
Drifting doesn’t pay the bills—so grab a side gig as a food delivery driver and use your souped-up car to make those quick runs around the island. Earn money, invest in better parts, and keep upgrading your missile car until it’s a bona fide drifting monster.
Are you ready to shred, break, and rebuild your way to the top? Join DRIFT ISLAND in Early Access and help shape the future of drifting games. Gear up, drop the clutch, and become a true legend on the island!

while the dev claims work in progress, the camera angles suck, drifting with a low starter car that can barely skid, not enough potential this is basically a worse version off of JDM Drift master. Earning money in this game sucks, played 3 different missions couple times each and up to like 11 grand. Cars for sale in game lmao would have to grind for at least 4 hours to unlock em. I dont see this game really being anything special. graphics on ultra - cs2 looks better LOL sound- meh scenery- Literally JDM Drift Master copy cat lol score- 3/10
frustrating that nothing in the game is explained, what tools do, what or where to go to earn money, where to get tools. also the driving controls on controller are horrible, specifically the steering, which is not helped by the insane amount of body roll on even a light turn That being said this game does show promise, and i will be coming back to it in a few months hoping some optimisation and QoL features are done

Start game $3k Found my first car cost - $2k not bad Went to shop for parts to fix it up ? Time to find job as even the basic hammer costs more than the car i brought. Here to support this game to see what they can turn it into. love basic old style arcade games nothing over the top just good old turn it on and play the heck out of it not because of what it has but because it is fun.
if i could refund a free product i would. i really want to like this game. waited since 2016 for drift 19, 21,ce to come out. it finally did but their old publisher 505 games were not green lighting projects (allegedly), so they jumped ship and started this to have more controll. problem is that the physics in this game are SOOOO bad. like you can drift better in mario cart. at no point in the like 30 min i played did i feel like i had control of the car. i have about 4k hours in games for drifting like forza and AC. started in 2012 with forza 3. and in that whole time ive never played a game with as bad of drift physics as this. hell carx does a better job. i really wanna like this game as i feel sorry for the devs getting the ♥♥♥♥ end of the stick but......i cant when this is the product.
Кусок овна, но какой! Можно футажы для шортиков снять, как минимум.
This game scratched a very specific itch i had after coming back from japan and having the oportunity of driving ebisu, they game is very basic for now, i guess its because of it being in early game, i will point what i liked and what i would love to see inprove in the future. -Buiding cars: Even if its intricate as you can buy an engine part by part, installing the parts is automatic, and i dont see much wear from using the car, maybe thats what they want, adding a simple tutorial in the shop or after buying the tools/parts would be great. -Driving: its good, i still would play assetto if i want realism but its really fun, after you get some power or better cars is really cool being able to drift a whole track non stop. -Events: they are fun and easy courses that just work for training and chasing that gold points, nothing to add there for me. -Deliveries: Really interesting way of grinding for money, maybe if the map was more populated it would be great. -Map: i love the layout, the ebisu part is excelent, the town part needs some live i would say, i know japanese rural areas are really empty but it would be great to have a little village with more buildings and a konbini to get shots for meets. -Cars: the variety is great, they look expensive at the start but it doesnt take much to get them all which is appreciated, also love the detail of having abandoned cars in weird places. Problems: Not many but its really frustrating painting a whole car just to see it all rusted after coming back the next day. The cars doesnt stay in place, maybe this was fixed in an update but when i played it, i would come back and have to drive to de other corner of the map just to pick up the car. The game feels empty, its a giant playground but it gets a little boring for me just having some floating logos for events. The music, it goes hard for the first half an hour, i understand its hard to get more but i would love to have 5 or 6 songs, maybe you could add a radio function so we can play our own music ( i know we can always play it on the backgroud) but it would be appreciated The game is really good, not expensive and gives you some hours of cozy driving and restoring a car. I hope this game gets finished and i get to play it when it goes out of early game
good
This project is not bad, just requires some time and polishing
Devs fixed my issue! Game playable again and kinda fun. Would recommend especially for the long run. Just hope the optimisation is bit better then
i dont really write reviews but i like the way yall adressed the community. the reason i personally stopped playing is because i felt it was hard to figure out how to get tools etc. and once i found them it wouldnt let me put them in my car to take them home. it just made me hold it so i was stuck. i would like to see this game turn into something cool. and maybe make a physics a little more realistic.
