The other extreme is Acro mode, which is a full-on drone flying control method. This provides a toy-grade control method that will allow most people to get in tune with the game, like me. Liftoff provides a couple of options a more casual friendly full-assist option which has you piloting a drone with the left stick and shoulder triggers. As previously mentioned, Drone Racing is hard and getting to grips with the controls is the first big step.
I am a guy, like many that will have this passing interest, will this simulator make me want to pick up a real drone for the first time? Will this get me watching more events live or getting me to go down to the next meet to watch and learn?
While some may see this as a detriment and that I am the wrong man to play the game, I see this as a worthy challenge for the developers. I hope that this has set the tone for the review, as I make no promises or allusions that I am in any way a drone pilot or someone who necessarily understands the sport well. It’s like those moments of watching Robot Wars back in the day, seeing the hard work of father and son enter the ring, only for their creation to come out in a binbag. There is an undeniable brilliance to watching people demonstrate their skills at a high level, piloting flying cameras through labyrinthine tunnels and glowing obstacles that can easily turn someone’s pride and joy into a pile of broken parts. I am one of those people who would stand next to one of the pop-up courses at an event and happily watch people fly and crash their expensive toys, as long as I am not the one paying for it. My experience with drone racing is fleeting to say the least. So, while Liftoff: Drone Racing takes away the initial barriers, it is still very much a simulation of a largely skill based, often finicky pastime that requires dexterity and patience. Much like racing with cars, horses or boats, there is an initial investment of time and money that a lot of people don’t necessarily have or are willing to risk on a casual level. Especially so when you consider the price of entry and the level of knowledge required to get anywhere successfully. The problem you see, is that Drone Racing is not exactly open to everyone. When I first started Liftoff: Drone Racing, I couldn’t help but worry about the state of this review.
