JDM: Rise Of The Scorpion serves as a free prologue for the upcoming racing game JDM: Japanese Drift Master. This game focuses on drift racing in Japan, offering players an open world to explore rural towns and engage in thrilling races. Interested players can download the prologue from Steam.
While some may consider a prologue to be a demo, Rise Of The Scorpion goes beyond that. It introduces players to a new protagonist named “rebellious high schooler Hatori,” setting the stage for the main game’s storyline. Despite initial impressions, the prologue’s setting around Haikama Lake showcases a beautiful and serene environment, contrasting with the typical urban settings of other racing games.
Although drifting may be a challenge for some players, Rise Of The Scorpion offers a variety of features, including modifiable cars, a dynamic day/night cycle, and changing weather conditions. For those struggling with drifting mechanics, the game provides driving assists that can be enabled to enhance the gameplay experience.
For players eager to delve deeper into the game’s systems, Rise Of The Scorpion promises an immersive experience that extends beyond simple racing. As the full game is set to release on Steam later this year, players can look forward to mastering the art of drifting and exploring the rich world of Japanese Drift Master.
