The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and bugs that significantly hinder gameplay. While some players note improvements over the original game, such as reduced glitches and a more polished experience, others find it unplayable due to persistent issues, particularly after recent updates. Overall, the game is seen as fun but plagued by stability problems that detract from the overall experience.
- “I've played the original, and this is just better. It's like they added a whole bunch of new stuff that wasn't in the original game. Everything's so clean and crisp; there are no glitches like in the original game. You used to lag out a bunch. Ads aren't bad; it's offline, so if you really don't like the ads, you can just turn off Wi-Fi and boom, perfect game. As you all know, you always need an offline game if you don't have internet, right? This is the perfect game.”
- “No freezes, but still takes your tickets off you.”
- “No freezes, and there are soft locks too, so the average person is going to gawk at their phone thinking nothing is wrong.”
- “I tried playing it because I loved the original rider game and the tutorial was fun, but after I died on the first level, it crashed. It kept crashing every time I tried to get into the game; it crashed on the loading screen, and when it finally passed the loading screen, guess what? It froze. I'm uninstalling this app; it's just taking up space on my phone. Don't get this game; it just crashes and freezes.”
- “Sad to say, but this recent update completely made my game unplayable. Whenever I load it up, it just freezes on a screen of a card.”
- “Very buggy as heck, especially on showdowns.”
