The game's graphics are widely praised for their stunning and trippy aesthetic, reminiscent of classic arcade racing games but rendered in modern 3D. Players appreciate the eye-catching visuals and smooth performance, particularly at higher frame rates, although some note that optimization for Mac could be improved. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to an enjoyable arcade racing experience.
“The game looks pretty stunning, and has a trippy infinite landscape aesthetic that I swear I saw once after eating a brownie in the Netherlands.”
“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.”
“Controls are simple, the graphics are gorgeous (and also quite trippy), and it's just plain fun.”
“Graphics are similar to 1980's, possibly 1990's arcade racing games.”
“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.”
“Even though it is apparently a port of a mobile game, it feels like a proper PC title to me, albeit without much in the way of options beyond basic Unity graphics presets.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, focusing on basic movements such as shifting left, right, and adjusting gears, reminiscent of vintage arcade racing games. While some players find it lacking in depth and variety, others appreciate its nostalgic mechanical feel and the unique scenery and soundtracks across its nine levels, making for a solid arcade racing experience. Despite some frustrations and a short playtime, the game's low price and active developer support contribute positively to its overall reception.
“There are a selection of colored filters available as unlockables, and - incredibly - none distract too much from the gameplay.”
“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, the really enjoyable aspect is that all levels have their own totally different scenery and soundtrack, which makes the game never boring.”
“Simple gameplay (gear up, gear down, left and right), but really hard to master.”
“Not liking this type of gameplay.”
“Basic to non-existent gameplay.”
“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 music in the game is highly praised for its quality and variety, featuring catchy pop, techno, and dance tracks that enhance the arcade racing experience. Reviewers note that each level has a distinct soundtrack, contributing to the game's engaging atmosphere and preventing monotony. Overall, the stellar sound design, including both music and sound effects, significantly elevates the gameplay.
“The soundtrack really pulses, urging you to step on the gas, and to risk threading the needle between incoming traffic.”
“A very positive point for the trippy trance soundtracks which are of a great quality.”
“The music is incredible too, what makes the game more amazing!”
“The purists who enjoyed playing on arcade cabinets back in the day 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. The really enjoyable aspect is that all levels have their own totally different scenery and soundtrack, which makes the game never boring.”
“Motor Rkd is a very simple arcade game with an intermediate difficulty, pretty visuals, and zippy soundtracks.”
“The visuals are pretty to look at and the music is pretty catchy.”

The game offers moderate replayability, primarily driven by speedrun incentives and leaderboard support, appealing to achievement hunters and high-score competitors. However, some players feel that the overall experience may be short-lived, and they hope for future updates to introduce additional difficulty or game modes to enhance replay value.
“A single playthrough isn't particularly long, but there's replay value due to the fact that the player is awarded for passing sections faster and without colliding with other vehicles.”
“Replay value is improved with Steam leaderboard support, which is a feature I always appreciate being included.”
“It has a lot of replayability, especially if you are an achievement hunter or a high-score ranker.”
“A single playthrough isn't particularly long, but there's replay value on account of the fact that the player is awarded for passing sections faster and without colliding with other vehicles.”
“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.”

The game performs well on Windows, but users report that it requires further optimization for Mac, particularly on older hardware like the Mac Mini 2014, where it struggles to achieve more than 20-30 FPS at lower graphics settings. With potential improvements such as Metal support, there is optimism that performance could reach 60 FPS on these settings.
“Runs great on Windows. 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 that with the use of Metal and other optimizations, it can reach 60 fps at the 'scooter' graphics setting.”
