Menus show controller icons but they don’t actually work.
To be honest the menus don’t feel as clear and smooth as you would like.
So many things are coming soon.
You only get one car initially and it takes a while to get the cash for a new car.
No online but it does say coming soon.
Doesn’t have leaderboards.

Summary

RC Revolution is a visually appealing game with nice graphics and a 7.84GB download size. It supports Steam achievements and controller support, despite some inconsistencies in the menus. The game offers a variety of settings for graphics, camera, and racing UI, including resolution, v-sync, fps counter, graphics quality, and more.

The game features eight driving locations and seventeen cars categorized into drift, crawler, monster, truggy, and buggy. Each car has unique stats for max speed, acceleration, handling, and braking power. You can upgrade car parts and customize each car using the currency earned from doing tricks and securing good race positions.

A track editor is in the works, which will allow players to share and download other people’s tracks. The game also supports split-screen multiplayer and offers four game modes: race, free race, booster mode, and stunt mode, with drift and time attack modes coming soon.

However, the game has some areas for improvement. The handling is quite loose and lacks sensitivity adjustment. There’s no tutorial to guide new players, and the controller support is inconsistent. The menus, while showing controller icons, are not fully functional and could be smoother.

The game is still in development, with many features labeled as “coming soon”. This includes online play and leaderboards. Initially, you only get one car and it takes some time to earn enough cash for a new one. Lastly, the interaction between cars and ramps needs improvement.

Overall, RC Revolution shows promise with its good graphics, variety of settings, and car customization. However, it could benefit from improvements in handling, menu navigation, and the introduction of new features.
