Wreckfest – Action Game Review
Wreckfest is a Action/Racing game from www.handy-games.com GmbH, first launched in 14th November 2022.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 622+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Wreckfest Stand Out
Burn rubber and shred metal in the ultimate driving playground!
Wreckfest is jam-packed with upgrade and customization options. Whether you are preparing for your next demolition derby with reinforced bumpers, roll cages, side protectors and much more, or setting your car up for a banger race with engine performance parts like air filters, camshafts, fuel systems, etc., Wreckfest is shaping up to be the best combative motorsport game out there.
• Unique Racing Experience – Exhilarating no-rules racing action with defining, once-in-a-lifetime moments that can be achieved only with a true-to-life physics simulation. Witness insane neck-to-neck fighting on high-speed circuits, face total destruction madness on crazy courses with intersections and oncoming traffic, or go for demolition dominance in derby arenas.
• Awesome Cars – Our cars are old, banged up, patched together… They ooze style and character! From old American heavy-hitters to agile Europeans and fun Asians, you won’t find anything like this in other games.
• Meaningful Customization – Change not only the look of your cars but also upgrade their body armor – Reinforce them with heavy iron that protects you from damage, but also adds weight, which impacts the cars handling. Modify your car to make a robust tank or a fragile but lightning-fast rocket, or anything in between!
• Multiplayer – Wreck your friends in local multiplayer and take racing to the limit while chasing for demolition dominance!
• Challenge modes – Have hilarious fun with crop harvesters, lawn mowers, school buses, three-wheelers and much more!
• Career Mode – Battle for championships, earn experience, unlock new upgrades and cars, and become the all-time Wreckfest champion!

Community Insight:
Is Wreckfest 2 coming to mobile iOS? Also is the nexus (crx) gonna be added or what? If not Im not buying 2 js. That car is literally the only reason why we got this 1st game and its awesome.
Im normally a Sim Racer but this lets us release our rage from from dirty racers. We love racing in this game but we never feel bad for wrecking someone! Its really fun to let some frustration out from the normal lap battle after lap battle, its just straight up fun carnage. We love the level system and Career Progression, it makes you work for harder and faster environments. Also no in game advertising.
Will you and the developers be updating Wreckfest 1 anymore or you will no longer be updating it just wondering cause we would like to have Wreckfest one still get updates every once in a while because now wreckfest two is out on PC early access are you only gonna focus on that one or no.
Definitely one of the best games we've played on our phone, great destruction physics, interesting career, but there is also a minus – a lot of additional content for money (we would like more free content) and so we ask you to better optimize the game for iPhone 11, we will be very grateful to you, because after long gaming sessions the game starts to lag, although the graphics are not high.
This game is art in its own little way. We still play this game, and the feel you get from playing a derby 1900s racing game is just a different feel and no other racing game shows similar things. This is one of the only games with a soul. Thanks Wreckfest.
Really good game fun to play definitely worth the money.
Great game with excellent dynamics. Highly recommend using a game controller as it provides much finer input. Using the touch screen is fun, but the gas and brakes are either 0 or 100%.
For on the go playing anywhere you are we love it. We can play anywhere now we love this game. On iPad a16 easy 10 out of 10.
Game is awesome wish it had controller support our backbone says it dont.
We love this game so much everytime we play this game it gives us hyped so much cause we Got All The DLC CARS and we love all the cars and upgrade all the engines and Modified cars, And our Three Favorite Car Is Razor, StormTrooper, and Cardinal.
For us, there are only a few of the best of from the App Store. This is one of them. Easily worth the price. Im not sure how this game hasnt gotten more tractionThe amount of detail, even little surprise details, like the removable topper from the old school bronco, to the custom exhaust pipes, the cars lowering or raising dependent on whether u set the suspension to stiff or softthere are tons of options in the paint shop, although, no full on custom decals, there is plenty of options for all kinds of tastes.The physics of the handling and racing is spot on. The graphics are plenty good enough for mobile. Theres even daily, weekly & monthly challenges where you accrue currency with which u can purchase custom rides not available in the normal showroom. Plenty of upgrades, car types, rim choices & a fairly deep career mode. You can set up your own custom races or demolition derbys. The physics as far as car damage is pretty spot on as well & adjustable from insane to real lifeIf your into any kind of racingthis is money well spent. A perfect blend of arcade yet real enough to almost be a simulation we bought it months ago & still play it daily.
This is the best game Ive ever seen. We have absolutely no complaints. The game even is even better than what it looks like in the adds.
We love it ive always wanted to play a game like this the best for sure gonna share it to all our friends so they download it.
Great graphics. Great gameplay and stellar driving mechanics. Just about the perfect racing game. Wish Career Mode was longer and had more races. AI is nice and aggressive, very challenging with a learning curve, like a good racer should. The derbies are pure chaos and the weird races are cute but the races is where it really shines. Bugbear hits it out of the park again! Flat Out was our favorite back in the day so we knew this would be good. The music is horrible though, but you can turn it off.
Only recently started getting back into racing games and when we came across this one on iOS, it seemed a no brainer. Ive been playing through the campaign mode for the past month or so and its giving us a lot of content for the money spent. Crazy to be playing a game from a console right on our iPhone and iPad. We played in a mixture of quality and balanced mode and thought the graphics looked great.
This game is really good its just that when we try to get the dlc bundle 1 and then when it sends us to go pay in the App Store it says cannot connect and we literally have cellular data and it wont they us get bundle 1 for some reason but overall this game is really good and we love it.
We love this game, it is the most realistic game that Ive played. We would add one thing, an off-road map(free roam). Thats all over-all great game.
Game looks and plays exactly like its console and steam counterparts. With the only exception being that the multiplayer is no longer playable. You can still open the server browser, but you will never find a lobby. When one attempts to create a server, the game stalls, and ends up in a never ending loading screen. With the only option being to close the application. The optimization seems really well, and we are able to play at a mostly consistent frame rate with dynamic resolution set to balanced. The visual quality is stunning for a mobile game. We have yet to experience any crashes or bugs outside of the server browser. The lack of multiplayer gets you a 4 instead of a 5. Everything else about this game is top notch. Played on a iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Every time we try and click multiplayer servers the whole game crashes. Not worth the $10 if we cant play online.
Really fun game but local multiplayer doesnt work, got it to connect once but after that it just says no servers available.
Its a good game, but when we first installed it, it wouldnt let us play we would keep getting a error screen but all you need to do is uninstall it then reinstall it and it should work.
No multiplayer and not a fan of the way the cars fall apart been around derbying our whole life and never seen fenders just blow off or headers fall off in the middle of a derby. Would really like them to nose up and fold instead of falling apart. Definitely a fun game just like a few updates when it comes to the damage and realistics.
We just bought this game and its definitely not cheap and we pressed play and it was downloading the stuff we need and then it says error and error and error over and over again.
New update wont finish downloading keeps giving us an error. Very unfortunate we love the game.
We would like to use the PS backbone to play and cant. We bought this on PS5 and now mobile.
When trying to connect to multiplayer server we receive "Already logged in. Retry?" and cant get it to connect. The whole reason for purchasing this game was for that option. The game itself is cool but you definitely need to fix that bug.
Add a mod workshop were you can download cars like nascars,f1,and more we would totally like to see that in an update, soon.
As good as it gets when you put a console game on a phone has great graphics and physics, the game has a good amount of difficulty so we dont feel like its overwhelming and shut the game its great.
This game is super great great graphics same maps (except for rock bottom ruckus many others of the YouTube vids) anyway if you like crashing games then this $10 dollar is worth it so we have so much fun with this game its really fun and addictive.So go play and have a too addictive game. One question can you get the nascar skins for the DLC store and can you add the Talladega and a Daytona map.
Livery customization is broken on mobile. Whatever you customize resets to red when you start a race, or change a part on the car. A fix would be nice, uninstalled and reinstalled and its not still broken. A smaller issue but it essentially takes away color customization for your car (unless you like oversaturated bright red) which in a game like this is a massive L. Hopefully a small fix comes around and patches it up.
This is a great game but all the loading screens are not scaled correctly. When loading into a race or loading into the game, the backgrounds are scaled smaller than they should be. This causes a huge black border. This should not be happening with a game that released only 2 years ago. We could understand the issue if this game released when the home button was still around, not in 2024.
We had a great experience with this game. Countless hours, just grinding for races, levels, and more cars. We bought a few in-game DLCs, too. However, we took a break from the game for around half a month, hoping our save would be kept during that period via GameCenter. Our problem: we were wrong. We went back in recently, and NEARLY all of our levels were gone. Once being at a very high level, and now, level 7. We will most likely keep playing, but Im still not happy. We checked, and most of our cars and their attachments saved, with exceptions for tuning that requires a higher level to purchase. Otherwise, still a great game.
Overall fun game wish you could play with anyone and not by wifi/land.
Just wanted to say we LOVE this game and 100% recommend it.
Great game! However beware that family sharing doesnt work for the DLC and we got charged for both our son. Still worth it.
Played this on Xbox one, when we found the mobile game we cleared everything we could from our phone to download and man it did not disappoint. Ive basically completed the campaign and have consistently played the tournament mode.. Our sole issue is just the size, but thats not so much on you, the developers end. A game of this quality its understandable and Im honestly impressed its only about 5 gigs. Anyways we just wanted to leave a review before we uninstall.. For now anyways we will be back. Game is amazing.
You know, we wish we can play multiplayer on this side on the app side of this game but you cannot. Ive been playing this game almost about a year or two years now it be nice if you guys do an update because Im running out of options we pretty much completed this game, its getting really boring by playing by the side on the mobile if you guys dont have money to get the game, yeah dont give us wrong. Its pretty good because once you get online going through Xbox or the PC side on this game, people will eat you up. Big time at least its free on this side. It be nice if we could switch our profile over to the Xbox side, but we dont have that option right now. Im at level 80 on this side you guys need to do something with this game or come out with the second one for Wreckfest. We dont know when Wreckfest number 2 comes out. But this side is getting really boring. Please do something or lets have an option for us to move our profile over to an Xbox side.
Game runs smooth as silk on iPhone 15pro max. We have the game for PlayStation 5 and it looks and feels just as good for your phone. Would be cool if our DLC could cross over though.
The game is phenomenal graphics are great crash physics are great but.. Multiplayer is kinda deadbut the game itself is still amazing.Ok now this is why we dont want you to list to the old 1 star reviews. We remember it crashing right when it released,The devs tried to get this gargantuan game out as fast as possible,but when the first day of the release it kept on crashing. But the devs came to save the day by fixing it like a couple days after. Now the problem is gone.Now Im going to the Pros and Cons. Pros Good graphics,lots of cars and events lots of race tracks and demo derby places. Cons Very big game,Multiplayers dead. Overall really good game.
We love this game. The physics and game pay are great, the only ask we would ever have is to make this a real universal app and allow it on M1 and up Mac too, but we cant withdraw a single star from the game. When we got the game originally there was a small but with a button on the game controller, however it was fixed quickly in the next version. Again the best Apple TV game out there.
Server browser functionality is broken on visionOS.
We love this game so much!, we would like it if it had a tank as-well but the gun wouldn't work because it'll probably cause a-lot of lag.
Its so crazy that this is on a phone how is that possible? We are on an iPhone 11 Pro and it looks ridiculous. We cant even imagine if we had the 15 pro.
The crash physics are really good and its just like the console version. Only thing we think could be better is the texture under the car but its still 5 stars. (When will there be a new update for console versions???).
We really great game with such life like scenarios when it comes to racing, 5/5 game, but our only complaint is that no one ever play multiplayer, Ive been playing for a while and we havent found a single person online yet.
The graphics is great the wreck motion.
We love this game but it needs a 97 Lincoln Towncar in it to be perfect . Also the engine noise for the trophy runner needs to be fixed.
First off the detail is extremely on point. The Controls are very good as well with plenty of customizations. We seriously dont have any complaints. The one thing Id love is to be able to set snow conditions to any custom event. It would be fun to create your own points season as well. Only suggestions :) Overall still our most played game. We really wish you would make a dirt oval track version with sprint cars and such. Or even off road. The damage and controls would put you over the top from other dirt racing or off road games.
