How it feels

A calm, incremental driving game where you automatically progress and strategically spend distance as currency to upgrade your vehicle.

What players say

Players describe Progress Racer RPG as a short incremental game that is not a true idle game because it requires steering on winding tracks and pauses for upgrade menus. The anime story and well-paced upgrades keep players invested for the first playthrough, though many find it repetitive after the first prestige and tedious toward the end.
