Absolute Drift Reviews
For controller players, we need to have a manual transmission option and key binds option. Maybe Im missing a settings option for it? And separate leaderboards for controller players vs touch. Great game, No manual option has us scratching our head tho.
We’ve sunk a quite a few hours into this game and love to play it. If you love touge the mountain drift events are extremely fun and are a nice challenge. Now our only problem with the game has been gears not shifting up when we need them to which potentially ruins a run. Unlike the PC version you cant manually shift which we found to be rather useful, but we understand that it would be difficult to put into a mobile version. Overall its a great game thats easy to play casually and can be challenging when its on maximum difficulty.
Its still as good as on the Xbox.
We LOOOOOVVVVVEEE THIS GAME. The physics are great the graphics are interesting to look at but we just want a phew things like the nissan s14 and the regular non pop up headlights for the missile and the Nissan GT-R r34 and it would be BETTER AND THAT IS HAAARRRRD TO BE BETTER THAN RIGHT NOW.
It runs incredibly smooth. Controls are very precise. The milestones in each track help you become a drift king. The music is lovely and keeps you going on for more. You can easily drift. But it is difficult to master. Im sure you will be playing this for a very long time. Worth the money.
Our biggest problem in this game is that you can’t drift multiple donuts in a row. It just won’t even count them for you, even if the donut resets. We think this is probably a bug because it makes some goals almost impossible to achieve like 7 donuts in two minutes. We can drift seven donuts fine, but not if we have to keep exiting the circle and coming back in.
Physics are great. Turn off all assists from the beginning though. We wish the snap back into traction was a bit more dramatic.
This game is fun and is time consuming but we would really like to see more cars like a bmw with a spoiler or other cool drift cars with big wings and more worlds.
This game is an absolute blast and a great time-killer. Only issue we’ve found is that on both our old 6s+ as well as our new XS Max this game kills more battery than any other app we’ve ever used. Not sure if that is anything that can be addressed on the software side, but other than that its a fantastic game. Definitely worth the download!
More cars and customization and this game would be perfect.
We’ve played racing games for years but the events are just way too hard with the controls and assists available on a mobile. Track setup is brutal in difficulty and margin of error is slim. The steering/stability assists are not too useful in our opinion. We understeer way too much with them on and wash out wide. With them off the snap overteer kicks in. We’ve tried all the different configurations and degrees of dificulty and success finding a suitable one (yet). We mostly leave it in Steer Assist OFF, Stability Assist in 10% or OFF and Steering Sensitivity in 60% or 70%. Good, minimalistic, aesthetics and clever car culture references. Car sounds are a hit and miss. Car only sounds that like it has one gear and too digital at low speeds. But you do get nice blow off noises sometimes and a nice brake squeal. Great in-game music. Everytime you hit anything, even at slow speeds, you get a super annoying crash sound or scraping sounds with a curb. If youre not a patient person nor a drift/car culture superfreak just consider skipping this game. Way, way to hard to be enjoyable on the track-based events. Free roam is great though which is the only Zen element to the actual game were you kind off can just blow some steam, have fun, and not be too agry with it. So close to being a great game for us. It really is fun if you stay out of the events. We would make the stability or steering assists more fine-tuned to make the user less understeer prone and/or allow you to hold more angle without you spinning out. Or a tuning mode were you can easily tweak the steering controls and assists without quitting and jumping to the settings a million times. Or maybe allow some throttle/power delivery modifications. Or maybe some power delivery modifications to make the drift progression more modular.
The steering feels sluggish at best, the clipping points are super bipolar and the controls are too close together.
Very difficult to play. How do we get a refund?
Also whoever decided to put the retry button next to the finish button is probably the biggest detractor for your game. Its annoying and a bad design choice. So much so that instead of giving you 5 stars we look the time to open the app store and write this to give you 1. Fix it.
Ad revenue must be tiny compared to what we paid for this game, why ruin the experience?
Aweful on ios, essentially unplayable we want our money back Try FR Legends instead, free and functional.
We found the game fun and the style is truly unique but after paying for this game we do not expect to be shown ads. We requested a refund because of that alone otherwise we would have kept playing the game.
Cant go wrong with this game. Excellent for the price if u enjoy driving games whatsoever.
Good skid mechanics, love this game, developers should make a ps vita version.
We’ve played this on PC for years, and it handles almost identically on our phone. We just wish we could use manual shifting (hint!) Game is excellent though.
We cant keep our fingers on your stupid buttons!!!! Why not use the button sizes of games that work well? The narrow button placements consistently cause us to make errors and when the game is this difficult…. We hate losing cuz our finger was off by a 1/16th of a inch.
We saw a tip about manual shifting but we cant figure out how to enable it, other than issues with the game shifting up mid drift, its great.
Thanks for the fix as of last week. We have played for 7+ hours on iOS. It is clear that not only is Absolute Drift Zen Edition one of the best drifting titles on the App Store, its one of the greatest drifting games. ADZA has little to do with racing other than completing certain challenges within the time. Rather, it has to do with drifting. There is so much replayability. A feeling of true zen when finally accomplishing one of the numerous challenges. Polished like no other and for a minimal price. Thanks for supporting Game Center Achievements. The controls have been extremely improved, and remember, that this is a drifting game. Im familiar with the controls because they are on both our PS4 and XB ONE. The spot on touch screen controls take time to master, but they appear to be a perfect translation from the consoles. Not tested with MFI controls. Soundtrack is brilliant. Hoping this one doesnt go unnoticed. You can simply get lost in Absolute Drift Zen Edition. -Donny K.
Is drifting game. We originally bought this on pc, and really liked the pc version. The game doesnt work as well on a small screen. As far as we can tell, this is a port or clone of the pc version. Im not getting the same kind of enjoyment out of this on the small screen.
Great drifting game but where are the slaves bruv?
We love this game but for the fourth time our progress gets lost and we have to start over.
The game is a great game but heres the thing we every one or two weeks the game resets it self and after getting back to that level it resets us again.
This game is great it simulates drifting really well. The one thing we wish was in the missions(not in the open world) it was a longer time or not timed especially in the tutorials. The only time you can find those courses or tracks are in the missions and you only get a minute at a time per mission. Other than that love the game.
We are very happy that you guys finally added graphic settings but can you also add button size settings too? We use 9.7 inch ipad and our thumbs are really tired even with our big hands. Thank you.
Really fun game but the game kept resetting and Id have to redo all the levels over again, menu writing sometimes gets messed up, but if they fix the reset button it would be pretty fun.
Really fun game but its really annoying how it restarts your progress every time you quit the app.
The game is simple, relaxing and intuitive. The only problem we have is the game keeps resetting our progress, if the fix that Id easily give it.
A very fun game, we suggest starting out on hard setting, it may be a steeper learning curve but its a lot more fun without the assists, or at the very least once you get the hang of it switch to hard. Once we put it on hard we were getting scores we couldnt even come close too on easy. The physics are pretty good, the tracks are diverse and some are quite challenging(or frustrating…. Lol). We gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt too short, and this is the perfect game for player created levels, we hope the implement that at some point, or add more worlds.
We’ve played this game on PC and was so excited to see it come out in the App Store. We bought it in a heart beat and loved every second of it. 1. Graphics, amazing 2. Controlling of the car, amazing 3. Music, amazing 4. The way the blocks flew away when we knocked into them, amazing The thing that messed it up for us is that when we woke up this morning we hopped onto the game and it hit us with the tutorial… We are now at square one and lost all our progress.
This is one of the best drifting/racing games we’ve played on the App Store…. But…. We’ve lost all our progress 3 times now for unknown reasons (even without an update occurring) and we cant figure out whether its just a mechanic of the game (I hope it isnt) or if something is wrong with cloud save/updates. Please help.
To bad after we unlock a lot of stuff the game decides to reset our progress every so often.
This is a pretty cool game, but it is way too buggy for a premium title. Menus dont always work, especially the back button. Worse, menu layout is ridiculous. Want to adjust controls or car setting? You need to exit to a world, hit pause menu, select Main Menu, select controls, adjust controls, then exit all these menus. If that werent enough, most of the time the back button doesnt work and we need to change languages in order to resume playing. Poor optimization makes even a iPhone X slow down and overheat. Controls are average and lack enough customization. The game has no shifting option, but tells you to enable manual shifting to improve control. Feels like a taunt. Finally with the last update all our progress was lost, including unlocked cars and access to other worlds. That just put us over the edge and Im done with this game. A premium title shouldnt be this buggy.
The game was going great. There were occasionally some bugs and the controls are OK, but the last update had a problem. We updated and the beginning story appeared. We drove through all of the tutorials and everything was gone. We had been playing since the game came out and had done a lot. Devs, we really hope you can fix this.
We have played the first three worlds over and over again because our progress keeps resetting. We can accept in some cases losing progress after a big update but this happening every time we close and re open the app. We did enjoy playing this game but if we wanted to start over from scratch every time we wanted play a game we would go back to our NES.
When we found this game it looked pretty great, and we were right, then after updating the game it reset our progress and keeps doing so whenever we close and reopen the game. Please fix this it was so fun but now it is pointless.
Deleted all our progress for no apparent reason, didnt carry our progress between devices, super laggy and low frame rate on iPad Pro 9.7 and drains our iPhone X battery to a ridiculous degree (phone gets hot within minutes, then within about 20 minutes screen brightness is at a minimum and it starts lagging with low frame rate and need to force quit / wait for phone to cool down.) Want our money back or an update to address all of the above. Ridiculous that Noodlecake (one of our favorite developers until this fiasco) would put this nonsense out.
We understand most people playing dont drift in real life but these mechanics are the worst we’ve ever seen. Car has no option to increase horsepower and anything. No manual option. YOU GIVE US A TIP TO TRY MANUAL MODE AND DONT EVEN HAVE IT!!! Waste of money…
Dont buy until they get this fixed! Sad because its one of our favorite games. We need manual button size Mg and positioning. Also an option for a manual transmission would be nice! ICloud as well, if its not too much to ask for!
Every single time we play it deletes our progress the next time we open the game.
Excellent game, tough at first, just like you want it, so the payoff is big when you get better at drifting, spinning, donuts, jumps. Not about speed, all about the drifts. You basically have different worlds and tracks that all have challenges to unlock the next one…. Spin under the awning, donut around the lamppost, jump over the building etc….. Excellent minimalist/clean art style, responsive controls (I did way better with the joystick compared to the default L/R buttons. Definitely worth the $. Quality games like this need to be supported.
Loving the game, bought it the moment we saw it because we had a blast playing the pc version. Controls feel very good, however we have had a few issues that we hope can be solved in the near future (fingers crossed). 1. The ability to adjust the ui size and placement would help quite a lot. Sausage fingers make it hard to consistently hit some of the smaller buttons. 2. We need manual transmission! It would allow for greater car control as it is hard to hear what gear you are in by sound alone. It even suggests it as an on screen tip. Maybe Im just blind and dont see it in settings but we cant find it anywhere. Anyways, would definitely recommend the game to others, it has some of the best physics out here and the car feel very balanced, so it is easy to 4 wheel drift.
The buttons are so small, while you play your fingers miss the button all the time! Fix that, then 5 stars!
There is not much of a tutorial so it takes you a while to figure out just how to control the car. Fairly difficult. Im waiting for it to be fun.
