KartRider Drift is an online cross-platform free-to-play kart game like many others, which tries to replicate a gameplay similar to Mario Kart and similar games.

The game can be played against bots or other players from any other platform available. The overall look and tracks are fantastic and the game doesn't force you into microtransactions as the kart itself and its driver are just for appearance. The in-game currency are earned as you play the game, that currency can be used to buy in-game items and to upgrade your kart to make your kart faster and more stable, but apart from that there isn't a complex upgrade system, the game just gives you several upgrade points to boost the stats.
The good thing about this game is the possiblity to play with either bots or other players and from almost every platform and the negatives are pretty obvious. The game doesn't offer anything outstanding, the game is similar and more basic in terms of gameplay and variety than other non free-to-play kart game like Mario Kart, Sonic&Sega All-Stars Racing, Crash Team Racing,... The game is mainly about racing and picking items around the map and using them against others.

All in all a great free-to-play for kart enthusiast and for those who aren't in this type of game, and are willing to try it before investing money in more popular kart games. This game doesn't have much content at the moment and the gameplay is really basic in my opinion, I love the tutorials and track variety but it doesn't have that something that outstands from other kart games and what makes it recognizable.
