About
JDM: Japanese Drift Master is an homage to Japan, Japanese street racing culture and drift. It’s an open world, story-driven experience, blending Tōge (mountainous) serpentines, with narrow rural roads and vast highways leading to a modern cityscape. With licensed cars and robust tuning options it’s a drifting paradise come true!

Driving Models
Designed primarily for gamepads, JDM boasts two driving models to choose from: Arcade, suited for a more relaxed experience and drift beginners; and Simcade in which all assists are off, trading full control over the car for more skill requirements to manage drifting. Players can switch between both models at any time during the game.
Open World
Soak in the atmosphere of Japan with the fictional prefecture of Guntama, created through mixing real-life locations from all over the country. With over 250 km of visually stunning main roads, standalone racing tracks and instanced events, set across winding mountain passes, rural areas and the city's bustling streets, you’ll explore diverse landscapes featuring traffic, dynamic weather, and day-night cycle systems.
Licensed Cars
Sit behind the wheel of legendary Nissan, Honda, Subaru and Mazda cars. Tune them mechanically with new parts and then fine tune the details. Experiment with visual parts: from hoods, through lights to full body kit swaps. Adjust the suspension, wheel camber, gear ratios and more. Finally, paint the car however you like using a free pick color palette. You want underglow? It’s at your disposal as well.
Story-driven Campaign
Step into the shoes of a foreigner determined to make his mark on the Japanese drifting scene. Compete in 40+ narrative-driven events and additional sidequests against the top drifters in the area. Experience this journey through hand-drawn manga pages, which add a unique and artistic touch to the game.
The Audio Purr
Experience authentic car sounds, captured through original recordings and brought to life with attention to detail, making you feel like you're truly behind the wheel. Cruise along picturesque roads while tuning in to genre-themed radio stations, including unique soundscapes of J-music, Phonk and even Eurobeat - choose the perfect soundtrack for your drive!
Multiplayer
Explore the prefecture of Guntama with up to 8 players in a lobby. Cruise together, organize car meets, or compete in multiplayer drift battles, grip races, and 1v1 touge challenges across the open world.

The game go to the bad direction. US car is not JDM drift. 1 DLC with american car ok but i don't buy. But the second dlc is american car!!!!!! Uninstall for me We want more japanese car or europeen car
игра средненькая, противники лугче чем в нфс, радуют только трассы, и сам пейзаж японии, но больше всего обидно что проходишь гонки, добиваешься девушки и вот кульминация а тут хуяк и цензура интима, верните деньги

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 22: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3/day in the week to Jul 30 → 7.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Divertido em relação a sua física porém vazio em questão de história, Japanese Drift Master é de verdade uma boa tentativa de apresentar o que seria um "arcade racer" voltado para o mundo do drift, porém deixa muito a desejar em diversos aspectos da experiência no geral. Sobre a gameplay devo dizer que a base é excelente. Jogar o carro de um lado pro outro é muito divertido por conta da física, sendo esta bem elaborada e fácil de controlar, e o mapa que exerce um papel crucial no empenho de retenção desse sentimento de satisfação com ampla variedade de ambientes, seja estes estradas sinuosas nas montanhas ou pistas de teor profissional. Realmente o ponto forte do jogo é pegar um carro e sair pelas ruas sentindo a transferência de peso do carro a cada curva e sendo recompensado ao ver a fumaça das rodas subir. A música é fantástica, de diferentes estilos musicais porém todos correlacionados com o mito que é a cultura de carro japonesa. Temos quase de tudo aqui: jpop, jrock, rock comum, phonk e até mesmo euro beat para os fans de entrega de tofu num tureno. Serio, fazer um time attack escutando euro beat é sublime. A customização dos veículos é competente no quesito de acoplagem de peças, seguindo esse bom padrão da indústria de permitir o jogador a deixar suas máquinas tão individuais quanto seu coração desejar. O único problema é que a parte de pintura dos carros é bem rudimentar, não permitindo a criação de designs vibrantes em criatividade. Agora para os pontos fracos. Um dos piores seria a IA do jogo, pois esta é fraca. Não digo no sentido de fraqueza com relação a pontuação de campeonatos (coisa a qual eu juro que não faz sentido os pontos que estes bots pegam em certos eventos), estou falando mais a respeito das ações que estes adversários tomam nas corridas em si. Por muitas vezes você irá ver carros se batendo sem necessidade em eventos de drift e corrida (tanto em você quanto nos outros) carros parando em curvas e sendo forçados a dar "respawn" por ficarem presos uns nos outros e de longe a pior parte é a velocidade dos adversários. É complicado falar o tamanho da frustração que o jogador tem com as disputas de drift por conta da lentidão dos oponentes e a falta de apreço pela vida alheia que eles tem. Seguindo por outro ponto de desapontamento que eu tenho: a história em quadrinhos. Este jogo escolheu contar sua história no formato de "visual novel" onde você como jogador vê um gibi tal como um manga japonês contando a história e dando contexto para as ações e corridas providenciadas nos eventos. A ideia em si não é muito ruim, até por que é compreensivo fazer desta forma pois uma empresa não precisaria gastar com "voice actors" e animações extras fazendo o polimento do jogo base ser mais correto. O problema porém é que a história fica nem de escanteio, ela fica no banco de reservas pelo tanto de escanteiamento que ela sofre. Os personagens são, no geral, ligeiramente carismáticos porém não da para lembrar de ninguém após jogar o jogo (talvez tirando somente aquele sargento do exército americano com a perna de metal) e a formatação dos quadrinhos mais do que deixa a desejar. Causa a qualquer um o sentimento de confusão ao ver que todas as histórias durante o jogo tem no máximo 6 páginas de escrita (que em sua grande maioria não conseguem engajar o leitor) ao "zerar" o jogo e receber um gibi de mais de 25 páginas de uma luta que aconteceu após a corrida final entre 2 personagens dos quais nenhum é o principal. Em conclusão não posso recomendar o jogo. Se os desenvolvedores utilizarem a plataforma da maneira correta e expandir as ideias dele em um outro título eu ficaria feliz mas dessa forma a qual o jogo foi feito não é possível recomenda-lo.
Game is fun to play, sometimes the meachanics are a little wonky but overall its good. I played this game on a Xbox 360 controller. The AI is kinda difficult for me to beat on medium difficulty, maybe its just me whos bad at the game so I played the game on easy mode. You can bug the AI car, when you force them into a crash. Sometimes they won't do anything after that. Kinda funny. But why I vote it negative is if you want 100% of the Achievements then good luck the "I am Speed" achievement ist bugged for over 2 weeks now.
Enjoyable drifting game with a funny corny manga story. It would be nice if multiplayer events could be done without having to make too much progress in the single player campaign but it's ok. I think it's a good indie racing game if you like Initial D.
Игра бесспорно красивая но колижен модели кривые и авто часто цепляются за препятствия, хотя можду ними довольно приличное расстояние (и ещё могу отметить то что в демо версии было прилично больше фпс)
ai vibe coded slop. frame-gen and dlss are not there to compensate for your incompentence. runs horrible. regret buying it.
Japanese Drift Master. J’ai acheté ce jeu parce que j’adore le Japon. Là-dessus je n’ai pas été déçu car, même si les graphismes ne sont pas photoréalistes, j’avais l’impression de m’y retrouver. J’aime bien les jeux de course de voiture. En revanche, le drift me laisse indifférent. Pourtant, je me suis surpris à apprécier de faire glisser mes voitures. D’autant qu’il y a quelques courses classiques et de drag. A noter que ce jeu a été fait par des gens tout aussi amoureux du Japon que moi. Ils ont été jusqu’à illustrer l’histoire par un manga. Jusqu’au générique de fin, on sent leur passion et l’amour du travail bien fait. Dernier bon point : Un choix de voitures satisfaisant, avec du tuning. Seul bémol : pas de vinyles pour les personnaliser. Conclusion : laissez-vous envoûter par les paysages japonais et l’exotisme de leurs villes et villages.
very disappointed with the so called physic, cant even control the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ car.
Je l'ai acheté après avoir vu le test de Sylvain Lyve. Et comme tout bon iencli de ce qui est japonais sakura, drift kawaii la meuf avec les oreilles de chat... Bah j'ai acheté... Bon, plus serieusement, la prise en main est pas évidente au début. Vous pouvez etre déçu de pas avoir la sensation que vous vouliez a la base. Il vous faudra une dizaine d'heure, (je pense) pour trouver un véhicule qui vous plait et avoir la possibilité de taper des drifts comme ton voisin essaye de les faire avec ça golf 4 tunning. Graphiquement pas au point de faire gicler dans le slip mais c'est quand meme agréable de pouvoir se balader dans un semblant de japon imaginé par les russes (oui vraiment). Cependant je le recommande, parce que si t'as besoin d'une bonne dose de Nipponnerie t'as trouvé ce qu'il te faut.
