  • The game offers a unique blend of racing and combat, allowing players to switch between vehicle and robot modes mid-race, which adds an exciting strategic element.
  • The driving mechanics feel solid, with a good sense of weight and handling for different characters, making the racing experience enjoyable.
  • The graphics and character designs are appealing, and the game has potential for future updates and additional content, which could enhance replayability.
  • The game suffers from repetitive gameplay and lacks online multiplayer options, limiting its long-term appeal.
  • There are several technical issues, including glitches that can disrupt gameplay, such as characters falling through the map and inconsistent shooting mechanics.
  • The difficulty scaling can be frustrating, especially at higher levels where AI opponents become overly challenging, making it feel unbalanced.
  • gameplay8 mentions

    The gameplay mechanics are functional but often feel janky and disconnected, leading to a shallow experience in the kart racing genre. While the handling is praised, the limited track variety and lack of engaging combat options detract from the overall enjoyment, making races feel flat and unexciting. Despite some smooth navigation and simple mechanics, the game struggles to maintain a compelling flow due to its design flaws.

    • “And the handling, by far my favorite mechanic of the game.”
    • “Gameplay feels smooth, menu navigation also feels great.”
    • “Again, simple mechanics, which I enjoy tremendously; I'm not having to abuse i-frames like in WFC or FOC when trying to not die.”
    • “The mechanics all work, but they're all a little janky in ways that end up feeling disconnected and flat.”
    • “Car sections have no other attack option, either (no weapon drops or the like), so it's just the numb-feeling shunting and pretty basic kart racer drift mechanics and boosting.”
    • “All this in a kart racer with only eight tracks with limited polish in the layout (enough odd corners and edges that you can catch on and stop you cold, keeping you from getting into the 'flow' of a race), and it ends up feeling shallow and slim, despite the production value and mechanical promise.”
  • graphics3 mentions

    The graphics are generally well-received for their classic and clean character designs, though some users note that the map graphics could use improvement. While the visuals are not highly detailed, the focus on fun gameplay mechanics is appreciated, suggesting that the art style complements the overall experience rather than detracting from it.

    • “The graphics are good, featuring simple designs that are not overly detailed.”
    • “The visuals are appealing, with a clean and straightforward aesthetic.”
    • “The graphics strike a nice balance between simplicity and quality.”
    • “Please, for the love of God, focus on fun mechanics and not on how badly you want me to upgrade my graphics card.”
    • “The characters' designs are classic and clean (I mean, come on, it's the Transformers). The map graphics could use some polish, but I personally don't mind the art direction.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly tedious, particularly when it comes to unlocking weapons and characters, suggesting that this process should be streamlined to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Grinding for several hours a day feels exhausting and repetitive.”
    • “Unlocking weapons and characters should be less tedious; the cores and relics are fine, but the process is frustrating.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    Players appreciate the replayability of the game, citing the unique blend of racing and combat, as well as the engaging galactic trials mode. The leveling system also enhances replay value, though some users express a desire for additional bots to further enrich the experience.

    • “I do hope there's plans to add more bots; the roster isn't lackluster at all, and the leveling system also helps a lot with replayability. I just think it'd be cool, is all.”
    • “The mix between racing and combat is quite unique, and the Galactic Trials mode offers a lot of replayability.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game's story is perceived as lacking depth and originality, with some reviewers comparing it unfavorably to mobile gacha games. Additionally, the voice acting has been criticized, contributing to an overall sense of disappointment in the narrative experience.

    • “This game has potential; whether that potential is going to be realized is another story.”
    • “Too much cheese for me; it feels like a mobile gacha game with not much of a story and mediocre voice work.”
  • stability1 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches that affect character movement and gameplay mechanics, such as unexpected slowdowns and instances of dying despite having full health. These problems detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy the game.

    • “I wanted to give this game a chance, but it's so riddled with glitches, like my character randomly slowing down, glitching through objects, and being one-shot despite having a full shield and energy. I really wanted to give this game a chance, unlike those giving it unnecessary hate.”
  • music1 mentions

    The music and voice acting in the game are considered average, lacking standout qualities that would elevate the overall experience.

    • “The voice acting and music are mediocre at best.”
    • “The soundtrack lacks variety and fails to enhance the gameplay experience.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
