Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a deep single-player campaign may find the focus on quick races and track tours limited.
- Racers who prefer predictable laps may find persistent traps make later stages of a race chaotic.
- Players looking for realistic vehicle handling may prefer a simulator rather than animal-mount racing.
Our take on Slide - Animal Race
The defining mechanic is diving beneath the track: it trades control for a drift and a later increase in speed, while also providing a way to avoid obstacles.
What is Slide - Animal Race?
Slide on animal mounts through imaginative tracks in quick races with friends.
Races support up to 8 players in local split-screen, and Steam Remote Play Together is supported. Diving beneath the track causes a drift and grants a speed increase afterward; it can also help avoid obstacles. Bonuses can increase speed, offer protection, or disrupt opponents. Traps remain on the track until the race ends. The 6 animals share the same stats. Tracks include hidden shortcuts and varied settings, from snowy mountains and tropical islands to upside-down courses. The game offers assistance for younger players and beginners. Players can also take a tour of the environments and listen to the soundtrack instead of racing.
