You drive around the track attempting to complete a set number of laps in a race or knock out enemy drivers a set number of times in a battle. Besides driving, you can also use weapons and support items during the race. You also can't easily send your cars flying off the track on curves like with conventional slot cars.Īll modes are fairly straightforward. Steering automatically shifts your car left or right on the track as if it was changing lanes, and you can't actually drive off of the boundaries of the track. You can control acceleration and braking with a slider on the touch screen, and steer by tilting your mobile device left or right. The vehicles control more like slot cars than remote controlled cars. Each mode supports up to four cars at once, either controlled by individual human players with their own devices or by the app itself. After a fairly surreal setup and tutorial narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart, the app lets you jump straight into competitive races or battles, or a practice mode to hone your skills.

RacingYou control the Anki Drive cars entirely through the free Anki Drive app for iOS and Android. The tracks by their nature have to be flat surfaces, so you can't have any over- or underpasses, loops, or banking curves to spice up the race. All three tracks are pretty simple, and lack the sort of customization or complexity real slot car tracks allow. Additional tracks are $69.99 each, and include the Bottleneck track with an eponymous narrow section of road and the Crossroads track with an equally eponymous crossover section of road. The track included with the starter kit is a basic dog-bone track with two curves, a long straightway, and a slightly shorter straightway.

The mats are a very heavy material, and come packaged with a thick paper cover with which you can roll to protect them when not in use. The tracks are 3.5-by-8.5-foot vinyl mats with black race courses laid out on top of brightly colored, futuristic designs that look a little like blacklight posters. An eight-minute charge lets each car run for about 20 minutes. Contacts on the bottom of each car charge the internal batteries through the cradle. Additional cars are $49.99 each, and feature unique chassis molds and different attribute balances and unique upgrades.Įach car comes with a charging cradle that connects to the included three-ended micro USB cable.

But only the Boson can get the Gravity Beam upgrade that draws cars into the Boson's line of fire, and only the Kourai can get the Beam Disruptor upgrade that can stop enemy tractor beams from slowing it down. They can both use the Tractor Beam support item that can slow down other cars. The Boson and Kourai are both balanced cars, with room for four points each in Combat, Chassis, and Engine attributes, and room for three points in Energy.

Each Anki Drive car has different attributes and can use unique items and equipment. They differ not just by their visual designs (and are actually repaints of the same chassis mold), but by their capabilities. The two included cars are the silver-and-red Boson and the yellow-and-black Kourai.

You can upgrade your car as you play, and have access to weapons, just like in overdrive.Īnki Drive has a total of seven cars in their lineup. It would either be an oval or figure 8 piece. It was revolutionary in the sense that 'slot cars' and 'fixed track' racing was completely thrown out of the picture, and cars were not bound to a certain 'driving line.' Anki Drive also allowed for the sense of a video game in real life, and mixed in fun from many different aspects of life, including car tuning, gaming, and racing, all packed into one advanced system, topped off with wonderful design.Īnki Drive comes with a starter kit, but unlike overdrive the kit, it does not contain ' track pieces,' but rather, contained a 'mat' that cars would drive on. Anki Drive was an all new racing toy that debuted in late 2013. It served as the foundation and tuning ground for Anki's top designers. Anki Drive is the prequel of the famed Anki Overdrive.
