Super Indie Karts reviews and comments

Early Access Review The Key used for this Review was provided by The Developer for Review purposes.
What is Super Indie Karts?
Super Indie Karts is a Racing Game that plays very much like the original "Super Mario Kart" from the SNES. At the Time of this Review, there are 2 Game Modes: "Grand Prix" and "Battle Mode." "Grand Prix" is the single player mode here, while "Battle Mode" is a local multiplayer mode. You play on 3 different Speed Levels, which are 50cc, 100cc and 150cc as in "Mario Kart." In the Game, of course, you try to finish first. A Power-up found on the Track can help you do that. Normally, there are 7 Computer Opponents. Plus, there's a Character Selection in which each Character is a Character from a different indie game.
Detailed Review For an early access game, Super Indie Karts is already playing very well and is a lot of Fun. The Controls are good, but not yet customizable-This makes playing with German Keyboards a bit more difficult, as Z is on the QWERTZ keyboards far away from the other Keys of the Game. (After the Developer has been informed, this Y has added as an Alternative for Z, which is why it is now more playable.) Plus, many Controllers are supported-with a bit of Effort reportedly even an original SNES controller. The Graphics are retro style and look to do it very nicely. The Music sounds good and is also made in retro style. The Sounds sound good. The Game Mechanics are very easy to learn-Especially if you have already played Mario Kart. The Cards, of which there are not very many at the moment, are well and sometimes very creatively designed. The K.I. is also good and has no excessive Advantage against Humans. There are currently no Steam achievements or Steam collection cards. There are very few Bugs and new Bugs are fixed quickly.
Pro Good, detailed retro graphics Vocal, good sounding retro music Good, matching Sounds Good control very many Controllers supported good K.I. good Balancing fast learning cards well designed characters implemented by many different indie Games
Few Bugs developers quickly respond to the Discussions present In the community hub Cheats (In the Main Menu with the "Konami Code") Neutral No German Translation (English only) game in the Early-Access Contra currently only possible control Configuration Few Cards (but are still being added as early access) Is making conclusion Super Indie Karts, despite Early Access, already a lot of Fun. At the Moment there are not very many Cards, but these are added. The Game in most Aspects is already very mature and there are almost no Bugs. The general retro style fits well with the Game. The Music and Sound underscore this retro feeling even further.
I would recommend Super Indie Karts to anyone looking for a racing Game that plays similar to an older "Mario Kart" game (E.g.: Super Mario Kart).
