Kandidatos Kart (2020) - Every PC F1 Game
3Kandidatos Kart by Shaikonina Games, 2020.
I wasn't entirely sure I'd include this, as it's branded as a kart game, but the F1 car in it looks as much F1 as the one in F1 Race Stars, so here it is! This is a game where political candidates for the Brazilian election race each other, with some rudimentary weapons, to see who's best. It's a semi-sequel to a beat-em-up, featuring the same characters, which was just called Kandidatos.
Obviously the current president, called in-game as "Bolsonaryo", drives a golden F1 car! The game is engineered from the same builder that presumably the Barro developers use, as many assets are similar to games in that series.
Tracks go up-and-down and round, but are all quite short and not very varied (though there is a desert track and one called Interlagos, but it's nothing like the F1 circuit's layout.
Sound is okay, with some choice (Brazilian) sound clips. The whole interface is only in Brazilian, but pretty easy to navigate/understand. The weapon's lack punch; a mix of cones (to slow opponents behind you) and a sort-of fizzly yellow firework (to target rivals ahead). The opponents aren't quite as hardcore as the Barro games though, and often make mistakes.
1. Race Start (Monza): 0:00 No real life tracks are present, so here's a varied track, to show the sort of tracks that are present.
2. Spray Effects (Silverstone): 0:22 Here's a darker track; there's no rain in the game though.
3. Tunnel & View (Monaco): 0:37 There's nothing like Monaco in-game, but this track has some barriers and a (fake) tunnel!)
4. Wet Track (Spa-Francorchamps): 0:52 Another dark track, but not raining. Rather short though!
5. Pitstop (Interlagos): 1:07 This is the "Interlagos" track in-game. It's nothing like the real-life track. It does have a pitlane, but it serves no purpose, as cars don't get damaged.
6. Huge Crash (Montreal): 1:22 When you crash you see a witty "R.I.P." tombstone, before being placed back on-track.
