Formula TOP

Fun game, love the simple style but don't let that fool you, this game is harder than you think but in a good way.

Really looking forward to future content like career, I'm hoping for driver stats to make an impact on cars and maybe the ability to swap drivers around?

If you like F1 then give this game a try, I enjoy it, you might too :D

Holy shit, what a game. The depth to career mode is kinda nuts, and the overall mechanics with cornering, tyre life, pitstops, and weather are great. It rivals the official F1 games IMO, 10/10

If the camera puts you off, there is an unlockable chase camera

Fun game with driving that is surprisingly good. 1.0 Added a comprehensive career mode that is really fun and is at least as good as the official F1 games with some features that they lack (nemesis system). Game has a surprising amount of depth in both the handling model and strategy. The tires have a drop off point where the performance drops significantly (have tested this) and multiple strategies are viable.
Game is very modable as well, including liveries, names, car stats and now even point systems. For those that do not like isometric view, chase camera is easily unlockable (It's what saved the game for me). I've spent a lot of time watching AI races to sim IRL seasons and make my own universe and the AI racing is quite fun to watch, and it's fun to make an alternate F1 universe of events.
Overall recommend the game if you like F1 games and arcade-y racers, but with a surprising amount of depth.

really wanted this game its good but the ai is really hard for me great game overall but the ai is too hard for me

its a nice game. you can compare it with ultamite 2d racing.

there is only one bad thing. If you retire, you have to watch the whole race. maybe a tip for the devs to fix this.

This is easily the best top-down racer I've ever played.
The physics is not full-on hardcore but it has more than enough depth to let you feel how the car is responding - you can sense when you've got a good flow through a series of corners , when you've gone too fast into a turn and are trying to balance it so you don't hit the dirt , or when the tyres start to go off. And even better is that you can see the AI having the same issues and therefore take opportunities to get into position to pass based on where you can see them struggling. Pitting for a new set of wets and then being able to catch up and pass AI cars which didn't pit and are now sliding wide and not being to accelerate away really is a first for a game like this.
The AI itself so far is really good - they give you enough room most of the time , there is a real sense of them driving with the same tyres and grip etc.. that you have rather than just being path-following bricks. Even in my short playing time so far I've actually had some really good battles with them , passing and re-passing and exploiting weaknesses and being able to plan ahead to do that , instead of what typically happens in 2d games which is the AI just following a path and barging you aside as if you don't exist. So top marks for the gameplay, it's very enjoyable indeed - it actually feels like a race and not just a giant smash-fest.
The track roster is a bit limited at the moment but I hope more will be added soon, and I'd love to see a couple more types of vehicle added too - maybe BTCC cars and Formula 2 or Formula Ford style racers?
Only 3 things I wasn't as keen on :
1. it doesn't auto-select wet tyres when the race start is wet - that caught me out the first time - maybe it would be better if it automatically selected at least a dry or wet tyre based on the track conditions so if you forget then you at least stand a slight chance of being able to make a strategic recovery?
2. I wasn't able to tell if the gamepad analogue triggers were actually giving me analogue throttle - this was using a PS4 controller on my laptop. In the rain with worn tyres it seemed to be either full wheelspin or no throttle , there seemed to be no ability to ease the throttle in and accelerate gently and avoid wheelspinning like mad. But maybe that's just me as I've only played for fairly short time so far.
3. I couldn't detect any form of drafting benefits , but again perhaps not played long enough to tell for sure.
All in all I am very very impressed with this game and I wish the dev the best of luck with it.
