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.

Reviews
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.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

I played with Simcade settings on a Gamepad: Its not a perfect game, but it is still fun!
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.
Скучно. Плохая оптимизация. В реальной жизни у меня куплен третье японское авто с правым рулём, но что-то эта игра меня совсем не порадовала - особенно, когда она вынуждает принимать участие в гонках на корейских Hundai, которые звучат как кухонный миксер (больно слушать).
Jak zrobią DLC z Poldkiem, dam 10/10, póki co mocne 8. Gra się naprawdę przyjemnie, to dobry przykład, że w czasach Forzy i The Crew nawet małe studia mogą stworzyć fajne wyścigi z otwartym światem, jeśli ma się dobry pomysł, skilla i spójną wizję. Driftuje się fajnie, cieszy wybór aut, klimatyczna mapa i nawet spoko historia, choć pod względem optymalizacji mogłoby być ciut lepiej. Still, dla fanów driftingu, bądz ogólnie szukających spoko ścigałki za rozsądny pieniądz, jak najbardziej polecam.
very disappointed with the so called physic, cant even control the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ car.
車のグラフィックや操作性、車の改造可能な要素など車好きな小学生の子供がすごく楽しんであそんでしました。
Лучная аркадная гонка за десятилетие. Потрясающая графика, отличная вайбовая музыка (фонк дждм кавбэл стиловдейли). ШИКАРНЕЙШАЯ физика дрифта. Ощущение, что ты играешь в игру, прогрессируешь, учишься, совершенствуешь навык и получаешь награды за победы, а не пытаешься развлечь себя в синтетическом опенворлде. В общем, мастхев. Всем, кто стучает по underground 2.
as someone who drifts in real life and likes to sim drift when not drifting in real life I cannot recommend this game unless you use controller. I was very disappointed when I tried to use my sim setup to drift on this game and it feels wrong in just about everyway. While yes there is wheel "support" its wheel physics are really muddy and make Forza horizon look like assetto corsa.
its nice they listen to the people and give them what they want!
