Editor review
Drift IO Skirmish is a top-down tank battle io with deep weapon-customisation. Sixteen players per server.
What works is the customisation depth. Twenty weapons and fifteen special items create real tactical differentiation.
Sixteen-player matches in cover-heavy arenas.
Tested over weekend sessions from Liverpool. Matchmaking is slower than ideal but functional.
Where the design earns its rating is the weapon-balance work. No single weapon dominates.
Where I would push back is the generic visual presentation.
Four stars. Solid tank-battle io.
