Community Insight:
Tournament is being dumb because when we beat crash bot and we go to cam it just resets us back to crash bot. But open play is great. We love to do king of the hill with skull,groundshock, and thermo. Thank you do for updating the overdrive app. Just please get tournament fixed.
We love DDL Overdrive! It's the best.
We like this game a lot but do not use the battle option for the cars cause that just takes forever and the only way to get points is holding down a button while youre attacking an opponent because that button makes you attack your opponent well that takes forever because y you might never catch up with your opponent making difficult to win or lose cause that would just take forever five story because its so fun.
We remember when it first came out it was free to download and then you just made in app purchases for more tokens to upgrade now lets see if its the same we had to buy the new one but must be better. 5 stars for nostalgic value its a great way to get the family bonding and competitive even learning how to repair things like soldering new battery.
If youre gonna add new stuff, please keep the characters from chapter 1 to chapter 6, and please make it that we can use the fast and furious cars edition on this app.
We love overdrive and Cozmo and vector we need more updates for these apps even though its brand new, and also for these Cozmo app icon instead of Cozmo 1.0 looking curious like who are u looking at? Could u replace it with Cozmo 2.0 looking curious instead.
You need the overdrive physical toy just so you know, kinda obvious though. Anyway overdrive is great and we would recommend buying it! You will love it. People say bad things about ddl and yes there are things theyve done we dont agree with. But they are actually trying to somewhat do what a normal company does. Anki was the goat tho.
The app is great but we charge the cars when we buliding the track and on the tournament mode the cars died on the second lap and its rare that we even finish the race.
We love this game but we really want them to reproduce the cars again and fix some bug problems with the game kicking you when you use super trucks and the campaign progress does not save even though your money and other things save.
Please bring back all the functionality of 2.6 not some slightly modded version.
The game is working ok, but the tournament progress and stars are not saving. Same thing with all badge achievements. When we exit back to the main menu and try to continue the tournament, our progress is lost and we restart against Crash Bot. But the cars, upgrades, player rank, and coins are saving fine. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. We know this game is old but we really want to get back to playing it after all these years. Please respond back soon.
There are a good amount of bugs that we think if yall put in the effort to keep this game alive yall can the super truck crash is also still a thing.
Tried from very old app not that fun and glitches for our cars and our old MXT car cannot run in this app! So if latest cars try out maybe.
We had a great time playing with the cars until they didnt connect anymore. Us and our brother were playing with them, but then they just stopped allowing us to connect to them. We hope that the developers see this so they can fix this bug. TLDR: the cars stopped connecting.
Ive always loved this game as A kid, and Im getting back into it but please bring back the F&F edition update please, we cant use MXT or Ice Charger at all or Nuke phantom. And its disappointing that we have these cars and we cant use them anymore. So please bring back the F&F version back, and fix the issue with the supertrucks not being to play the game please.
It's a whole lot of fun, but our car's from the fast and furious edition stopped working after the new update.
So we have the Drive cars Kourai and Boson. Practice mode crashes right after the practice race starts. We were able to do open play battle mode, but the game crashed again after shooting the other car. It does work, but its a work in progress.
We had to uninstall an reinstall.
The overall racing of game is fun to play with friends of against the robot, and you can upgrade your car and what not, but the bad part is; it doesnt save your login information. So if you delete the app or log out, you cant get back in. It asks your email but then says its invalid once you try and long in. So you lose all your progress.
Tournament stars not saving or any badges earned. You guys ever going to fix this app.
We feel like they really didnt put time into this app, and the fact that we paid money for a super truck that force quits the app is really disappointing 3/10 needs significant work.
This app horrible. It made us buy the app seven times and then it took 40 minutes to download. We have perfect Wi-Fi and we restarted our phone.
We rate this game pretty good since we used to play it very young and we love this game but there is a problem with using the super trucks, please fix this problem because Every time we want to use the super truck and click the begin scan button it force quits you out the app. Please fix this issue.
We were excited to learn there was a new app that runs on current iOS only to find out it doesnt recognize fast and furious overdrive vehicles. Am we missing something.
Dev is drastically updating and fixing things. Most, not all, of our complaints have been addressed. Good work and we hope you keep working on it.
Our brother had this game when it was owned by Anki and he gave it to us because he doesnt play it anymore. We opened it and there was car broken our brother said but the other one works fine but when we got this app we couldnt connect the car to the app and then we looked at some tutorials on how to connect it but none of them worked except for one that said to double click the on and off button which didnt connect to the app but it was able to drive through the track without us controlling it which was pretty good but we just couldnt figure out how to connect the car to the app and thats what we need the most. So if you can help us connect it we would appreciate it a lot so please help us get it to connect please.
Like a lot of others, we enjoyed the open gameplay but was frustrated our tournament progress wouldnt save. We found a fix and am now having so much fun playing and upgrading us cars! We went into settings and selected the guest account and now our tournament progress saves without any problems. Hope this helps those others having the same issue. Now all we need is support for Nuke Phantom and the F&F cars.
Thank you DDL! This is awesome! There are definitely bugs that need to be ironed out, but keep going.
Its is fun, but there are some pesky bugs.
The game is great overall but some glitches like the tournament resetting whenever you go home or go to the garage. We wish you could support the fast and furious cars but overall the game is really good.
Digital Dream Labs reboot of Overdrive was much needed. There are many improvements, like the track scanning and campaign. But, when we exit out of the tournament, to go to other parts of the app, we lose all progress. Also, when we win matches, the amount of coins we get are unsaved. This renders the shop useless.
We loved the free version of this game, and this is just as fun, if not, more fun than the free version because of the tournament mode! However, with the tournament mode, we won against Crashbot (the first character you race in this mode) three times (the first time, since we just got this yesterday), and the stars didnt add to our star count, as well as it isnt letting us progress in the mode. Im having tons of fun playing with this otherwise. But the fact that we cant progress in the main single player mode of this game, is kind of a shame. Instant 5 stars if this gets fixed, since the game is extremely fun otherwise, especially the multiplayer aspect of this game, which is where both this, and the free one shine, in our opinion. However, we do think that this one shines more in the single player aspect, because of tournament mode. Its just a shame that we cant progress in it, since it seems like a really fun mode.
We dont k own if its because the weapons that we have (had) are too new or something But when we signed into our overdrive account it tried to transfer everything we had over but it left out nukes disintegrator and his antimatter smash thing which are two very valuable weapons to nuke we also lost support items for both skull and ground shock Other than those two big loses not much to complain about Also nuke phantom is not available yet but Im sure that will change in later updates.
When we saw digital dream labs was making this we were excited for it and when it came out we bought it instantly. The problem was it was even worse. It no longer felt sorta modern and literally everything had a bug. It had so much potential but because of bugs and problems we were heavily disappointed.
This game is unusable! Connectivity issues! Worked great in the other anti app.
We have been a long time buyer of anki overdrive products, but the app is currently unusable for us or anyone else in the household. When the Begin Scan button is pressed, the app crashes. Along with that, in the occasional time that the app does work, no campaign progress or weapons are saved. We were all very excited to be able to play with these cars again, but we are now equally if not more disappointed.
We have recently gotten back into Aki overdrive, and was surprised to see this app. We thought the way they used to have the game set up was better than the newest way that they have it now so we wanted to try this app out immediately. We were disappointed, however, because we cant do ANYTHING in this app. We try to go to the garage, we cant equip anything. We try to play a tournament, it crashes along with open play. Biggest waste of $3 ever, Id rather have an app thats slightly worse but free.
This app looks fantastic . You download it and it resets the firmware on your cars. (Then You loose weapons that you purchased in the previous app for your vehicles.) Not a big deal. Then you select a race and set the cars on the track. Then when you press the screen to start a track scan . THE APP CRASHES!!! We have deleted and reinstalled this about five times. We wasted money for this stupid app. And then when we deleted it and reinstalled the old overdrive application.we had lost a lot of the weapons in our vehicles . This app is junk . They developed it and never followed up with updates to fix it from crashing . DO NOT BUY THIS FOR YOUR CHILDREN . It does not work. This company went out of business and does not offer anymore support for the toys they produced . So once your kids have raced and beat all the characters in the original app. There is no more updates to give them any reason to want to play with the cars . And this app just disappoints them by crashing before they even get to play.
Dear Digital Dream Labs we really like the new overdrive but it doesnt save you progress in tournament mode. Plus, the weapons arent the same. We had so many levels on our weapons and we found out there isnt levels. Anyways, the main issue is to make it so it saves your progress. We know you just brought Overdrive back and thank you for that, but a we are hoping to see improvements in the future. If you implement these changes, instant 5 star for us. Thank you.
No fast and furious cars available to race. Also couldnt connect to super trucks through app. More hiccups then original.
When we first downloaded this app, we had high hopes for it. We thought Overdrive was returning to glory. But Ive had an issue with this app for a while now, where our progress with the tournament would not be saved while we were logged in. A lot of other people had this issue too, along with other bugs that we personally did not experience. And even after about what feels like and probably is a year, the apple never got updated. These bugs never got fixed, and probably wont be, which frustrates us, because DDL made it seem like they were gonna make Overdrive great again, and they would bring back everything that was good about the old Overdrive, yet all they did was release this app and forget about it. To make matters worse, we were having trouble changing the password for some reason, so we contacted DDL technical support, and all they did was tell us how to change the password, which we could not do and was why we contacted them, instead of look into the issue and figure out why we couldnt change our password. This is unacceptable. We truly want this app and this company to succeed, we really do, but so far, they have proven that, gameplay and software wise, they could care less about us, and thats unfortunate. It seems that the only purpose of this app was to use peoples nostalgia to generate stacks of money, and it hurts us to see that such a small company is doing something that corporations with scummy business practices like EA or Activision would do. Do not buy this app for any reason until the bugs are fixed. It will be a waste of your time and money.
Paid for the app hoping it would fix the issues we had, but we cant even setup a multiplayer race the app wont recognize the vehicles. Even in training mode our vehicles had difficulty staying in the track, fish tailing and doing random reverse u turns.
- Does not support the full screen of the iPhone XR or other similar phones. 2. Nuke Phantom is not suppurated and it makes the car kind of a paperweight until support is added. Great to see the dedication of work done to the app but with these two features we would feel that the app would be better.
We just got the game and our progress never saved.
The screens froze together, we couldnt equip weapons, and we lost 3 bucks to a piece of trash app. Better update soon or else.
We got the app and was really exited that they brought back things from before. We opened the app and tried to battle crash bot and the game crashed. Tried again, the game crashed. We tried some more, and eventually gave up. We went back to the Anki overdrive app, and our level 3 plasma cannon and charge beam were now level 2. Our level 2 electro pulse is now level one. That might not be all, we havent checked the rest. We lost about half of the stuff that we had worked months for. DO NOT GET THIS APP.
Really! Your first attempt at reintroducing the app and you guys put out something light years away from being ready and charge money for it. Its only 3 bucks but we feel like Ive been scammed and ripped off. We have all the cars and trucks and was only able to get 2 cars to scan the track before the app crashed. Also 3 vehicles not even supported. Most things in the app dont do anything when clicked on and the 2 cars we got to work their progress wasnt saved. At least we can go back to F&F and race. Get back to work and try to come up with an update fix that might just allow for a even one lap before crashing, really hope you guys are better than this.
Im very thankful that Digital Dream Labs brung back this version of Anki Overdrive, and it brings back the good memories and challenges of beating the Tournament (to us, at least). But there are a few things we would like to see added/changed. First, we would like to be able to refresh the coin shop in 2.6 just like you are able to in 3.4. Another thing we would like to have is a modifier in the Race mode that disables weapons or support items. We would also like to be able to have all your equipped weapons and support items on the screen instead of cycling through them all. This is definitely worth three bucks for this app, and Im excited to see how Digital Dream Labs will use this to make even more improvements on Ankis products.
Dear Digital Dream Labs, we like the game, but . . . CONS: – it doesnt include nuke phantom or the fast and furious cars It also does not include ice X52, the third truck – when we enter the garage and go to the equipment our game crashes SUGGESTIONS: – you should be able to refresh the shop for more money PROS: we can see the devs are trying and already have a new app, and a way to repair batteries and tires which was definitely needed. We hope these things will addressed. We did not expect the app to be perfect immediately, but it came close and far exceeded our expectations. We are glad the game is being improved. It was still incredibly fun despite these glitches, and we enjoy playing the game like 6-8 hours a day. Once we get our cars repaired it will be even better, and once the glitches are fixed it will be truly amazing. Thank you Sincerely Luke.
This app has no glitches and definitely improved the cars battery life and you can keep the same speed and the commanders do not say mean stuff:) Thank you DDL.
