Drive Buy is a game that has been on my list for a while and pleased to note that it is currently available to play as a demo during the Steam Game Festival. Until tomorrow!
It already sits in the list to play today, but by the time it’s written up, it will be after it exits Steam, albeit briefly. But, what is this game anyhow? It’s a combat racing game that can be played with friends or online players (strangers), and boasts cross-platform play.
Inspired by Twisted Metal, Rocket League, Vigilante 8 and Mario Kart, the development team, Glitchers, have honed in on the top titles to create their own version in the form of Drive Buy.
A short-session multiplayer, because frankly, there aren’t enough of them, players can drop in and out of gameplay with ease, making each game as fast as the action as you have to hustle the most deliveries while shaking down rival drivers with a plethora of power-ups.
We want everyone to be in with a chance of winning – so even the player in last position can turn it around and steal a last minute victory. Or they can flood the leader’s screen with emotes and emojis to get revenge.
