  • gameplay
    71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, there are notable criticisms regarding drifting mechanics, occasional bugs, and issues with matchmaking and connection stability. Overall, while the game offers fun and engaging gameplay, it faces challenges that could impact the player experience, particularly concerning balance and technical performance.

    • “Great game, very competitive, and nice gameplay for both speed and item (mostly I played speed).”
    • “All in all great game with easy to learn but hard to master mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, easy control, nice graphics, and funny characters.”
    • “Drifting mechanics leave a lot to be desired; how it's executed felt like an afterthought from the developer.”
    • “What the hell is this... it's not worth it, trust me... it's a Mario Kart rip-off but with disappointing tweaks. The drifting mechanic in this game is garbage; you could accidentally go 180° rather than 90°.”
    • “I like this game, but I've lost a lot of players because of the boring gameplay, and I think I lost just because the car was lousy, so I had to use a paid car.”
  • graphics
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality and smoothness, even on lower-end devices, with many users appreciating the art style and visual effects. However, some players have reported issues such as image quality inconsistencies, lag during gameplay, and concerns about the game's optimization on various devices. While the graphics are a highlight for many, there are also calls for improvements and updates to enhance the visual experience further.

    • “Great game with great graphics, one of the games that I've kept for so long since release and still playing actively almost every day.”

    • “But what bothers me is that the quality of the image on the shirt is so bad, even though I already switched my settings to high graphics and HD.”
    • “The graphics in this game for different devices are barely dropping down to 30fps... what a big change.”
    • “Worst game ever, laggy and graphics are bad. I got a new phone and the graphics are the same.”
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally seen as intriguing, with players appreciating the campaign mode and the variety of missions available. However, many users express frustration over bugs, unclear quest descriptions, and the limited number of missions, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, there are calls for more content and features to enhance the storytelling experience, such as new systems and improved gameplay mechanics.

    • “The story is also intriguing.”
    • “Playing story mode is more enjoyable than playing against people.”
    • “Also, there's a campaign mode with a decent amount of missions, and at level 9 you unlock a rest area where your character can walk around and play social minigames with others.”
    • “My problem is during the 4-6 campaign, it said to pass through the gas station as missions, but there is nothing in the race.”
    • “There's a lot of language errors in the game, even in story mode, and my drift button sometimes doesn't work, which is very annoying and makes me lose a lot of ranked games.”
    • “Gonna go 5 stars if there isn't a bug in story mode; I can't surpass level 1-6, please fix this.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting persistent glitches, unresponsive controls, and frequent crashes that disrupt gameplay. Many players have also noted issues with the game's update process consuming phone storage and causing additional problems, such as login authentication failures. Overall, while the game has potential, its stability issues significantly detract from the user experience.

    • “Overall, it's a nice game, but it keeps asking me to update every time I log in, which has used up a lot of my phone's storage. After the recent update, it has been glitching many times. I hope you take this matter into consideration, as I've seen many people complaining about the same thing, so it's not just me. Thank you.”
    • “A lot of times I'm about to win, and suddenly my controls freeze, causing me to crash into the wall. I don't know if I'm being hacked by my opponent or if it's just server/connection issues, or if the game is deliberately making me lose.”
    • “The app has been super buggy; login authentication doesn't work.”
  • monetization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing concerns about a pay-to-win model that favors those who spend money on in-app purchases, leading to an unfair advantage. While some appreciate the absence of ads, others criticize the game's reliance on microtransactions and its similarities to Mario Kart. Additionally, technical issues related to in-app purchases have been reported, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I've been playing this game for 2 years; it's a good game, and there's no ads.”
    • “Edit: No ads anymore, good job Garena!”
    • “Game is good but it's getting kinda pay-to-win. I hope it has more adjustments because it's unfair for others if the payables have more car buffs or pet buffs than those who just want to play the game without those in-app purchases.”
    • “Hopefully Garena lowers the in-game purchase prices.”
    • “It is a blatant copy of Mario Kart and filled with in-app purchases.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players report smooth performance on entry-level devices with good graphics, others experience significant frame rate drops, particularly on lower-spec phones during races. Concerns about the game's economy hint at potential pay-to-win elements, and players are calling for improvements in game mechanics, collision handling, and overall performance to enhance the gaming experience. Additionally, security issues related to hacking have been noted, suggesting a need for better anti-cheat measures.

    • “The optimization of this game is so good that my entry-level phone can run it flawlessly with good graphics. It is also not a pay-to-win game because this game takes a lot of skill to learn, though the learning curve is steep.”
    • “Please fix the reset placement, make players able to collide (to be fair with car bumps that lower players' satisfaction), better game performance, rebalance the cars' abilities, and fix the drift bug.”
    • “Please fix the reset placement, make players able to collide (to be fair with car bumps that lowers players' satisfaction), better game performance, rebalance the cars' abilities, and fix the drift bug.”
    • “If you have a 2GB RAM phone or below, this is the most rage-inducing game for you. It's poorly optimized for low-spec phones; FPS drops constantly during races, especially on sharp curves while drifting with other players. One second you're in 1st place, then FPS drops and you're in 6th place. So yeah, FPS/10.”
    • “Frames per second are too laggy; please improve the game performance for Android.”
