Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a good game we personally think this is better than the 2nd one.
The gameplay is actually really cool but every 5 seconds theres an ad that just totally ruins the pace of the game.
Way to many bugs for us to be able to give this game a good solid review atm, we buy things on one account and then when we swap over to our iPad we still get ads and dont have our VIP and then when we buy things in game it takes our money but doesnt unlock what we want, too many things that need QOL improvements, hope to see this game start being fixed because this game has so much potential.
One of the Best Racing Games on Mobile! Ive been playing this game for a while now and honestly, its super fun. The graphics are clean, the cars look amazing, and the controls feel smooth not clunky like a lot of other racing games. We like that you can customize your ride and actually feel the difference when you upgrade it. The tracks are challenging but not frustrating, and the online races keep it exciting. Perfect for killing time or getting competitive with friends. Highly recommend if you love racing games.
Extremely fun game, a lot to tune and a lot of customization with an amazing support team. 5 stars.
We lost our car for no reason cuz the game wasnt loading due to a race for keeps bug and the discord devs gave us our stuff back.
Does not explain how to use keys.
The game is good it just keeps crashing on us and closing out.
We love the whole concept of the game and the way its set up but here are somethings we majorly dislike. To start off with is the maintenance, there is nothing in the beginning to indicate that you need to keep up maintenance with your car and the costs of which. Secondly is casual races. Its not badly set up but the opponents on easy are sometimes way too hard even thoughts its on Easy not Hard, second is your earnings do not vary depending on difficulty or length of race making it hard and very time consuming to earn money. Lastly, the tire warming and beginning rpm launch. Both are extremely rugged and do not have any sort of smooth feeling to it. We press the gas peddle for launch and try to get it green but it has such a rugged delay to it. The tire warming isnt horrible but it has a unsettling and longing unpleasing feel to it. Other than what iv complained about here its an overly well designed game aside from need more of a tutorial.
You have to maintain your cars oil, engine integrity, clutch, and tired. If you dont pick things up quick, youll find yourself in a hole very quick, especially with quicker revving cars. Probably good and enjoyable for others, cannot find fun in being drained of money for car maintenance in a game unless theres some hidden option to steal what you need.
Dont spend money on that feature, youll still get ads. Also. If you want to do a pinks race. It comes down to your launch and not even your car. Ive already spent some money on a car pack and we really wish we didnt now. Just a money grab game.
Could be a good start to a great game its kinda laggy and the cars are just to blocky for us while the rest of the game looks great the controls for the person are kinda wonky need to work on that was good till the game kept crashing on us into the 2nd race in a career mode why Im giving it two starts not gonna delete but hope the bugs get worked out.
We dont know if its a glitch or a bug but we keep getting kicked out when we try to play the story.
Many Chinese players have played this game. We hope the author can update the Chinese.
Honestly this game is awesome but we feel like theres room for improvement. In our personal experience Ive found it hard to get enough coins to upgrade our vehicle without having to watch ads in order to beat the next opponent. We also would love to see more customization option for cars like any car should be able to have a blower depending on the engine obviously,we understand if your guys main focus is the 2nd game and arent putting out allot of updates for this one, but we would definitely check out the other reviews if you havent already,everyone has awesome suggestions and we would like to see some of them implemented into the game. Keep it up, Ill go check out the 2nd game. Never mind theyre both pay to win we figured you guys wouldnt make it impossible to progress with out having to pay money for upgrades or watching ads for extra coins game has so much potential,but its being used as a cash grab.
We dont like that when we do a pink slip it lowers our horsepower and it just make us too mad.
So overall game is absolutely amazing. Mechanics, customization, open world option. But what makes us not like the game is the fact that Ill have an account and Ill have so much progress and itll just glitch us out of the game and itll delete our account. Please fix this.
Its ok but we dont know why we have to pay for iconic cars so yeah its ok.
First off this is a very good game but we would like if you can make to where we can remove the hood, also make our own size tires we need more realistic sounds can you also add it to where we can remove certain parts of the car for wight reduction Should also make a first person view and if you do can you add a steering wheel a Speedometer.
We like this game very much and would like to join the discord but link wont work.
Ive been enjoying the game up until we started trying the pink slips races Ive lost over 700k in cars and parts in the normal stakes the first race goes good then the game crashes and forces us too lose our car or par irl money to get it back.
Our game aint been loading up to race or anything. Not complaining, just wondering why Im having this problem.
Honestly game is pretty fun but the crashes are heartbreaking, we won our pink slips first race, game crashed the second one and didnt even get the option for the 3rd also can there be more classic car options.
This game a lot of better than other drag sims. It have a unique design and original customs with detailed tuning. It needs works for more variety of races and more visual tuning options. Good luck, dev! ADDEDx2: Youre guys are insane. You implemented all suggestions into the project. The feedback is incredible. Now the only thing left to add different events on the map. Also: well get more atmosphere if you can add different dashboards for cars (according on their style), swap the main component (gearbox, engine), building custom car from different parts (we understand that it will be more difficult to implement). We wish you community growth! ADDED(x3): Insane! You did a great job. The game has changed completely for the better. Now we see the last nuance. LOD models. In the overall design they have too many angles. Their rework is a very big job, but in our opinion the models will become really better. Your turn, devs. Godluck with a huge community growths.
We would rate this game 5 stars, but we feel its lacking multiplayer/just playability in general! We feel like this game could have some massive potential and could see ourselves spending some money.
We love this game its really good it lags a little but thats fine we love the cars and upgrades every one should get it its really fun.
Good change of pace from the norm in the mobile world of car games. We like the prostreet style of burnouts lol. The car models are identifiable. The sounds are good. Definitely a great game. Looking forward to this update.
This game is the first game in 2024 to show decent sights of potential make the open world bigger add different biomes to it each biomes being about the size as the desert open world map and add about 4-5 biomes total add events and thats a pretty solid game for 2024 cause card and all those other games failed this game feels fresh different and that longing for something exciting that we havent felt in awhile when we downloaded this game at first there was no open world and we were disappointed because for the first time in forever we were really excited to play a racing game which we havent felt since we were like 13 or 15 mins you Im 20 and in college we do however appreciate something like this because a good racing game in 2024 did not seem possible but well now that open world is here we can really see the potential but add a earthy biome Arctic biome a tundra biome like take some inspiration from nfs rivals because they had 4 biomes and were all done wonderfully highest potential Ive seen from a game in awhile though and well theres not as much body customization as we expected there to be but we havent fully explored the game yet though so we could be wrong but one of the most promising starts to a game Ive seen in awhile.
Really good game its not like most drag games witch most of them are the same but not this one this one is good.
Awesome game and the new update is pretty cool nice change up but id like if you could add tuning into the game or at least give us back tuning for the transmission and options for single twin or even triple turbos but thats it so far we know youll keep working on the game but really id love to have gear tuning back asap at least please.
Love the game and we bought the vip so we dont have to worry about ads but yet we still get ads almost every single race and we dont get why we would spend $6.99 a month yet im still getting ads.
Love the game but theres a bug for some reason when we beat a certain part it duplicates the part we just beat to the next area so we can advance through the story mode.
This game is amazing the graphics and the whole in-depth upgrade system. The game as a whole is amazing and have recommended to a group of people already. Im hooked and cant stop. One issue is we dont know if it is just our game but career mode the patriots are where reapers are so we cant continue the career mode. Otherwise the game is great.
Great game and love everything about it. Would like to see some more classic muscle cars, but do enjoy the car selection the way it is now. Only problem we have is trying to get to the Reapers in career mode, it keeps going to the previous team.
The game is so fun and realistic but you cant finish the story mode to do the reapers because it just takes you back to the patriots.
There is still a bug fix where u cannot face the reapers. Like u click the reapers just take u to the patriots so there is no way to advance in the career.
So we screen recorded the issue hoping that we could post it here, but we cant. Whats happening is in career, we cannot PROGRESS AND PLAY THE REAPER RACES. IT WILL NOT LET ME AT ALL. IVE BEEN STUCK IN THIS POSITION FOR MONTHS AND YOU CAN EITHER FIX THE ISSUE, OR ILL DELETE THE GAME. We REALLY DONT WANT TO DO THAT, SO FIX THIS MAJOR ISSUE IMMEDIATELY PLEASE.
This game is so underrated honestly best drag game Ive ever played.
Amazing game but our career is messed up and cant continue farther. Slightly aggravating but overall a very fun game.
Whenever we load in & go to the career races the patriots & reaper is the same & it doesnt let us progress through the game.
We love the game there is just a bug that we dont like on the first area when versing the last set of bosses if u back out of that menu it doesnt let u face them again it just pulls up the patriots instead.
Ive been playing this game for a little while now and its pretty good Its a newer game and obviously theres some updates needed but we see potential in this being a game that will be around for a while we think the only things we can say is it gets pretty difficult further into the game and we feel it should be dialed back some and maybe take a different approach or something because Im at almost a halt right now in the game and havent been able to progress much, but honestly good game though and with updates overtime we see it being a amazing game keep up the good work.
Its a really good game but theres a lot of small problems like the gas you cant ever watch ads to get more gas and the and you have to be in the app for the timer to go down and the money you never get the amount of money that it says you win.
Overall killer game and Im addicted, but with that being said Im currently grinding out the career mode and Im trying to fight the rippers so we can move on from new York everything time we try to select the rippers the patriots show up and doesnt give us rippers when we select ready.
Whenever we click on the Patriots team it brings up the takeda team, when we click on the Reapers team it brings up the patriots team. We beat the Patriots team and now theres now way for us to access the Reaper team cuz when we click on them it brings up the Patriot team. We really like the game just wish we could play more.
Overall fantastic game but Im getting the energy that we need to be winning the daily races to progress very well and generally we only get one or two wins in before it starts going to back screen every single time we win or lose, we imagine it has something to do with whatever triggers the win menu or the lose menu. Im obsessed with this game please fix it.
Good game had a lot of fun playing but Ive gotten through all race except for reaper because we cant select reaper due to the app doubling the takeda races so now Im stuck at a standstill.
There is a lot from the start such as when we go to close the app when we open it our fuel tank is empty and also when we do a daily race it will not let you go past four if you lose you get glitched out and forced to lose the app and if you win it shows a black screen Ive been playing daily for almost an hour and this has been happening other wise very good game.
So we tried the game and we loved it so then we signed up and it said Check Email. So we did and there was nothing in there, what is happening and why cant we get the Email, we did everything we could and checked everything. Fix this please it would make everything easier and less of a problem.
Bug needs to be fixed where you cant play the reapers how are you supposed to progress anymore if your stuck.
