Forever Drive for iOS Opinions

I recently saw a game called Forever Drive for download on the App Store for free, and last I checked it was still free. It’s an absolutely gorgeous little racing game.

I wasn’t expecting much since there are plenty of games available on iOS that aren’t too great. However, the screenshots for this game really got me interested. It had a feel of Rez for PlayStation 2, or Beat Hazard for PC.

As you drive through different tracks, the colours change. It has a very neon-esque look and feel, and is very simple to play. You can turn left and right using buttons on each respective side of the screen. There’s also a brake pedal beneath each of those buttons, so you can choose which to use to brake. Accelerating is done automatically.

I believe there are in-app purchases, however I’ve been more than happy to just play through the normal mode and enjoy each track. You collect stars, overtake vehicles and drive in special highlighted lanes for points.

Crashing into the side wall or another vehicle breaks your combo of points and slows down your vehicle. Since you must make checkpoints before a time limit, it’s common sense to avoid them, otherwise you won’t progress far.

Forever Drive is a lovely little game. I’m not sure it’ll remain a free app for long, so it’s well worth giving it a download soon. There’s even a mode for building your own tracks, and you unlock all sorts of items for them along the way, however I haven’t dived into that just yet. I’m having too much fun racing as it is!
