We’re back for another entry in our The Long Game series, where we go over things you can invest in early in games that pay off in the long run. This time, we’re traveling to a galaxy far, far away for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the new racing game from Fuse Games. First, we should start with the basics.

The Long Game: The Best Upgrades for Each Vehicle in Star Wars: Galactic Racer
In the latest installment of our The Long Game series, we delve into the world of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a racing game from Fuse Games. This game offers three distinct vehicles, each with unique strengths and weaknesses, making the choice of upgrades crucial for success. The three vehicles are the Landspeeder, Speeder Bike, and Skim Speeder.
The Landspeeder is a well-balanced vehicle with easy handling and high defense against collisions. Its versatility makes it ideal for experimenting with different abilities. Upgrading the Afterburner increases acceleration, deceleration, and boost power, enabling more frequent boosts and higher top speeds. Similarly, upgrading the Ramjet also results in higher top speeds. Lastly, upgrading the Battery increases the frequency of ability activation, offering a variety of options depending on the race situation.
The Speeder Bike is the smallest vehicle but boasts the fastest acceleration and a unique Kinetic Burst ability, which grants an extra boost during a drift. Upgrading the Kinetic Burst enhances both the speed maintained during a drift and the boost upon its completion. However, the Speeder Bike's speed comes with fragility, making it a frequent target for opponents. Upgrading its Resilience improves defense against collisions, mitigating its fragility.
The Skim Speeder is the largest of the three vehicles. Its robust body makes it excellent for offensive play, allowing it to attack other racers. Upgrading the Ramjet transforms the Skim Speeder into a missile that can clip other vehicles without putting the pilot at risk. However, this offensive playstyle exposes the Skim Speeder to a higher risk of contact, necessitating upgrades to Resilience to withstand the damage.
The Skim Speeder's width also hampers handling, particularly during turns. Therefore, upgrading Cornering helps manage its speed while navigating tight turns, ensuring the Skim Speeder remains agile despite its width.
