The graphics of the game are designed to evoke the style of 1980s and 1990s arcade racing games, presented in modern 3D visuals that are both stunning and trippy, particularly impressive at 60fps on larger screens. While the visuals are generally praised for their beauty and effectiveness in creating an engaging arcade experience, some users noted performance issues on Mac systems, suggesting a need for optimization to achieve smoother frame rates. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's fun and nostalgic appeal.
“And one very good other point is the graphic design with the choice to put the road in a perspective vision that is very trippy and impressive at 60fps, especially on a large screen.”
“Stunning visuals”
“Controls are simple, the graphics are gorgeous (and also quite trippy), and it's just plain fun.”
“The graphics are similar to 1980's, possibly 1990's arcade racing games.”
“This game is trying to recreate that style of game design, albeit in modern 3D graphics.”
“Runs great on Windows, but could use some optimization for Mac. I get 20-30 fps on the 'scooter' graphics preset on a Mac Mini 2014 with HD5000 graphics. I'm pretty sure with the use of Metal and other optimizations, it can touch 60 fps at the 'scooter' setting.”

The gameplay of Moto RKD Dash is characterized by its simplicity, requiring players to move left or right and shift gears, reminiscent of vintage mechanical arcade games. While the game features only nine levels that can be completed in about 20 minutes, each level offers unique scenery and soundtracks, keeping the experience engaging despite the lack of gameplay variation. Overall, it provides a solid arcade racing experience that appeals to purists, though mastering the controls can be challenging.
“An extremely no-frills modern re-imagining of vintage mechanical curved track games such as Tomy Turnin' Turbo and Sega Moto.”
“The purists who enjoyed playing on arcade cabinets back in time will appreciate Moto RKD Dash at its true value. Although the game is short (it has only 9 levels and can be finished within 20 minutes), the really enjoyable aspect is that all levels have their own totally different scenery and soundtrack, which makes the game never boring.”
“The gameplay consists of moving the bike left or right and pressing the up and down arrows in order to shift gears like in Outrun.”
“The purists who enjoyed playing on arcade cabinets back in time will appreciate Moto RKD Dash at its true value, although the game is short (it has only 9 levels and can be finished within 20 minutes), and the gameplay doesn't vary especially during the trip.”
“Simple gameplay (gear up, gear down, left and right), but really hard to master.”

The game offers significant replayability for achievement hunters and high-score seekers, but many players find the overall experience to be relatively short. There are hopes for future updates to introduce new difficulty levels or game modes to enhance replay value.
“It has a lot of replayability, especially if you are an achievement hunter or a high-score ranker.”
“So not a lot of replay value.”
“Hopefully some updates will add difficulty modes or other game modes to give it a bit more replay value.”
“[*][b]Replayability[/b] may be short for most.”

The game performs well on Windows, but users report that it requires optimization for Mac systems, particularly older models like the Mac Mini 2014, which struggle to achieve more than 20-30 fps on the "scooter" graphics preset. There is potential for improved performance, possibly reaching 60 fps with the implementation of Metal and other optimizations.
“Runs great on Windows, but could use some optimization for Mac. I'm getting 20-30 fps on the 'scooter' graphics preset on a Mac Mini 2014 with HD5000 graphics. I'm pretty sure that with the use of Metal and other optimizations, it could reach 60 fps at the 'scooter' setting.”
