Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Drift Hunters is widely considered a cult classic in the mobile drifting community for a reason: the tuning system. This isn't your average arcade racer; it’s a simulator that gives you control over camber, offset, brake pressure, and turbo spool. For car enthusiasts, this level of detail on a mobile device is rare.

The physics feel heavy and rewarding. You can’t just hold a button and drift; you have to manage your throttle and counter-steer carefully. The graphics are impressive for an indie title, with several iconic tracks and a wide selection of cars that look very similar to their real-life Japanese domestic market (JDM) counterparts. It’s a pure, ad-light experience that focuses entirely on the art of the drift.

Tips & Walkthrough

Getting Sideways

Start with a basic car and head to the 'Track' menu. Accelerate to gain speed, then flick the steering and tap the handbrake to initiate a drift. Balance your throttle to maintain the slide and use counter-steering to keep the car from spinning out. The longer and steeper your angle, the higher your score!

Deep Car Tuning

In the garage, use your earned points to upgrade your engine, gearbox, and turbo. You can also adjust the suspension height and camber to change how your car handles. Visual customization allows you to change colors and rims for a unique look.

Could use a few more features but otherwise really fun

Tue Mar 28 2023 Fortnitelover1776

I have been playing this game on different phones for a few years now and so far I love it! However, I am not a huge fan of everything costing money, on one hand it makes it so there is more stuff to do which I like but I think making the paint cost money is just absurd. A feature I think this game needs that probably won’t take long to make is a drag racing map where it is just a straight road that goes on for miles and miles just to see how fast your car is. Another feature that is likely harder to make is multiplayer, me and my friends love this game but if we could play with each other, crash, drift, and just have a good time this game would be even better. If you do plan on adding multiplayer add an option for public and private rooms please. Another feature is I hope they add is more customization like an ability to change the wheels or change the tint of the windows, just get really into detail with it. I mean the customization is fine right now but it could be better. The final feature is just more stuff to do, right now the whole point of the game is just to unlock stuff adding an optional challenge to unlock a rare car or some rare tires this in combination with the multiplayer could result in a lot of fun, a challenge could be something as simple as get a drift score of 5000 or something more complicated then that. If you add all of these features correctly then this game would be taken to a whole different level. TLDR: add more customization, add a drag racing map, add multiplayer, and add optional challenges

Love it and want it to go further

I really love this game and the way the tracks and cars feel, however I feel like this game could improve its promotion and the game, first i would start by improving the game. The things i would love to see are a bit more customization to the cars and tuning to the cars, the implication to possible map creations would be fire, but not necessary, maybe an online and/or a career mode. Racing would be a fun experience and even custom lobbies with ofc different options to do either races, drift battles, and absolutely would have to have the ability to go through eachother otherwise people might get mad. I would also really love to see burnouts and tire smoke, the possibilities to this game are endless and I hope this review makes you guys think about this. Lastly if you do make any of these changes especially online play, please promote the game as much as you can!!!!

( ^: Sound Update :^ )

Fri Aug 30 2019 ForsakentheTruth

We’ve all asked for it, some of us more persistent than others, but this game needs an update for the love of god. This game isn’t bad at all. Awesome arcade drifter. Sometimes I’m having so much fun I forget how fast I’m going and completely lose control, lose my combo, get mad, repeat! The only problem is that I have to play with the sound off because a V8 C-Class sounds like a literal lawnmower swapped hatchback some high schooler from the Bronx calls his “daily driver.” The sound is the main issue. Physics are awesome, it’s an arcade drifter just the “drift” part alone gets me going. But the rev tuning is so... unreal. Gives me headaches. One listen of a real manual gearbox car and you’d say “oh that’s bad.” I’m personally not asking for an Update Haul but just a audio update would make this game a lot, and I mean a lot better. I mean you guys are on the top searches for the word “drift.” Why not take the extra half step and do a sound update and I can assure you, developer(s) that this game will be top 3 if not number 1 on the charts!

Honest Drift Hunters Review

Tue Apr 15 2025 TheNickyLee

I have had the Drift Hunters game downloaded for a while now, however, I haven’t played it much until now. I have tried a lot of other racing games on iOS, with the two major ones that come to mind being SSR and FR Legends. I even went so far as to download a PSP emulator and play Gran Turismo. Yet the games listed above lack one thing that this game has in spades, generosity. The drifting physics are fun, for the reality is, it’s a game, not meant to be an off the walls simulator. And this is where the generosity comes in: If you are in a long drift, on one of the many vividly detailed tracks, driving one of the many greatly designed cars, and that drift is worth a few thousand points and you hit something, you don’t lose the points! Now comes the caveat, I was drifting in the game for quite a while and I was thinking to myself, “What would I add to the game?”, or “What would I like to see different in the game?” 1. I would love to see more body modifications than just paint and rims. A lot of the cars in the game are tuners, and I know that the creators are more than clever enough to design some good body work. 2. I would love to see a little bit of traffic, not a whole lot, and not ones that are out to target the player, but a car or two to drift around would be fun. 3. I would love to see “achievements”, so to speak, that can add to the cash available to the player or unlocks graphics and liveries. I will continue to play the game because it is just that, a fun game. Disclaimer: I was not paid, reimbursed, or compensated to write this review, I am just a guy who likes the game and hopes that the developers read his review to maybe chew on some food for thought.

Great Game. Little Improvements Needed

Mon Sep 06 2021 Momo Johnny

This game is really fun! You have tons of cars to choose from and the maps are decent sized. The drifting takes a little practice but after 10 minutes i knew what i was doing. You can also tune your cars to which is very fun. But the little improvements that should be fixed/Added is the driving and sounds. The sounds are great but the Hellcat is the only car that has an different sound and thats only in idle. And the turbo sounds great but a little improvement could be done. Now on the driving side, i know the whole purpose of this game is to drift but at the same time when trying to normally drive in a straight line, the car will easily spin out. At least for me. Again, great game. I definitely recommend giving it a try. Many people definitely will like this game.

Great but flawed

Tue Mar 22 2022 Element11425

I have the iPhone 8 an the fps is terrible cuz of (my guess) how good the graphics an all that is (most games I play run just fine besides the games that go overboard on graphics like this). I use to play this in class on the chrome books an it would always be nice to play but I see they’ve brought it to phone an idk if a phone can run this as good as a computer an how they’re making it. By all means I’d love to see it but try to work towards making it easier for the game to run. Ik my phone is old but mine isn’t the only one that’s old an the iPhone 12 isn’t so cheap 😂. Unlike most developers nowadays, take your time with it. Rushing things can lead to a 12 y/o sweat ready to one pump ya. Take it from fortnite. Other than that it’s the best drifting game Ik.

DEVELOPER, please read!

I’ve been playing the game for more than like 4 years. I have seen all the changes that this game has had. Recently I decided to purchase all the maps in the game. Before I did that the game ran perfectly smooth performance wise. Now I can’t play due to a high amount of lag. This happened all of a sudden right after I purchased all of the maps. Nothing on my end could possibly be causing this. I have a high end device that is a newer model and nothing else like low battery possibly interfering with performance. This happened to a while back too when I purchased all the maps where free. I have every car and every map in the game too by the way. Too recap everything I said. The game has become very laggy and unstable when I purchased all of the maps. There is nothing on my end that could be causing this. Thank you.

Things you should add into the game

Wed Mar 29 2023 Russk1sn1per

First off I want to say I love this game I play it every time I get bored to kill time. But getting into what you guys should add is drifting missions, make you own drift track, stunt points, like for example doing a car jump will give you in game currency so basically another way of making money, also add in jumps and ramps. You guys should also add in car customization options like choosing spoiler, skirts, hood, chassis, and a whole lot more of customization. Also add in a weather system just to add to be more realistic. In game radio systems. Add in more vehicles such as trucks, motorcycles and a whole lot more.
