Apple Arcade = Resterampe

Boah, ist das schlecht, ich krieg’ Augenbluten EDIT: „Was genau gefällt dir an der aktuellen Version des Spiels nicht? ..." Ehrlich gesagt, weiß ich gar nicht, womit ich anfangen soll. Und erst recht nicht, ob ich dann jemals wieder aufhören könnte. dodreams Website: "We’re the team behind the Drive Ahead! games—Arcade Multiplayer Mayhem that has brought together over 300 million players worldwide." Frage: Kommen die tatsächlich alle von diesem Planeten oder leben die in einer Galaxy, die ich noch nicht kenne?

(Amendment 2) Good game but…

The game itself is good but there are a few problems: - Not much sense of progression. Please add more rewards other than cosmetics. Add upgrades and power ups and boosters buyable with level points (earned from levelling up) or coins! (Barely implemented at all (😢) because you’ve barely done anything at all - the only real-ish sense of progression is the unlock-only vehicles you’ve added.) - Online play’s a bit flawed. Please make the matchmaking algorithm stop after 20 secs or so and add the option to go to AI play with a few clicks rather than temporarily disabling the data collection (which for the record is a lot more interaction!). (Fixed but my suggestions haven’t been implemented (😕)the matchmaking is much better now and works much better now.) - SPECIFIC MODES!! I want to have more control over how many players I play with, like if I want a 1v1 I could click that, and same for 2v2s! (Not implemented at all (😢); there’s NOTHING in terms of picking 1v1 or 2v2. Please implement this now.) - Bit too easy to eliminate people. You happen to just bump into a palm leaf in the Beach map and you’re donezo - THUNK-boom. Could you add a sort of driver cab on some vehicles which armour you for 1 hit…? There’s a slightly similar kind of thing in Hill Climb Racing+ (which I played for a bit). - WHY ON EARTH AM I ALWAYS PLAYING WITH AIs?!?! And worse, THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME TRIPLE-WHIPPED CREAM!!!!!! I’m so utterly frustrated with each loss that I’m risking my display and my knuckles at this point. That’s all for now, but I might make more reviews like this in near-future. Thanks devs.

Crash issues

To be concise. The game crashes more often than the cars. If it didn’t it would be the perfect toilet game.

Good direction but missing some key elements.

I used to play the old drive ahead game back when it was a lot more simple, which I really enjoyed, however that game is now fraction of what it once. BUT. This game is reminds me of the older games and is a actually a lot of fun. I really appreciate the simplicity of play but it is definitely missing some key elements: -Mode selector; pretty simple fix I cant believe this isn’t in the game (1v1,2v2) -ranking system of some sort; Its kind of easy at the moment and would love more of a challenge -more cars and tracks; kind of secondary at the moment but it definitely needs continued support as the current roster is a bit lackluster. Apart from that I do love the gameplay, its an absolute blast. Please keep this game true to itself and don’t turn it into brawlhalla.

Schade

Das Spiel ist so schwer. Man hat keine Chance ! Ich habe es heute c.a. 3 Stunden gespielt und gerade mal zwei mal gewonnen : entweder spiele ich gottlos schlecht oder das ist wirklich nur für Profis gemacht.

Great Game! But..

I love the game, as I do for all dodreams games, but I wish that adjustable controls are added, as often my fingers miss the button or my inputs just don’t register. Please add this, it really gets in the way of me enjoying the rest of the game.

Awful controls

I don’t know what’s changed between this game and the previous but the controls feel so much worse, the buttons keep sticking (I didn’t even know that was possible on a touchscreen) and also seem unresponsive at the same time.

Ganz okay

An sich kein schlechtes Spiel. Man merkt noch sehr dass es neu ist. Es gibt noch etwas wenige Maps aber da kommen wahrscheinlich noch mehr.

Great overall

Really fun gameplay just like the original :D However, can’t seem to navigate the menus (can’t press A on the menu items) on a Switch Pro Controller. Game also seems to crash when closing on Mac, and the exit menu has MISSING “ in LOCALIZATION DATA.

Keeps resetting

I was enjoying the game, even though there’s not really any progression other than cosmetics.. up until it resets the game near enough every time I try to go back on it. I’ve given it a few tries as I thought it might have been a one off but it’s happened once too many times now and I’ve given up playing. Sad really

Spaßig wenn man sich reinfuchst

Erst dachte ich nach dem grottig vollkommen verbuggten Arkanoid und dem ebenfalls nennen wir es freunlich dürftigen Wheel of fortune, dass dieses Spiel ebenfalls ein Reinfall ist, weil die Steuerung wie man sein Auto dreht erstmal falsch wirkt. Aber nach so 5 bis 10 Spielen hat man sich dran gewöhnt. Was das nächste Problem ist: bei 4er Spielen sind die beiden Autos der gleichen Farbe in einem Team. Hab ich erst am zweiten oder dritten Tag kapiert und wenn man spielt hat man manchmal Teammitglieder die das gleiche Problem haben und einen sofort ausschalten. Hier wäre eine bessere Erklärung zur Einführung hilfreich, weil vom Spielspaß her find ich es wirklich witzig und was für schnell zwischendurch. Und noch Verbesserungsvorschlag: teils hat man manchmal Probleme zu erkennen, welches Auto man selbst ist. Hier wäre eine schnell erkennbarere Markierung hilfreich, weil wenn man tot ist bis man kapiert hat, wer man ist, ist das etwas blöd.

Fun and addictive

The game is easy to start and really fun. It becomes quickly addictive as you get more skilled. Not 5 stars as there seems to be a bug preventing multiplayer on Mac. It works fine on iphone.

No long term play factor

Most games u can win just staying still as people just kill themselves. Also like what has been said without a ranking system there isn’t any long term play factor deleted for now

No progression

The matches themselves are fun but there isn’t any real progression outside of cosmetic stuff which means there isn’t much incentive to keep playing.

One of the best

If not the best, one of the best games I ever played. Enormous fun game!!! It the definition of casual gaming. If you are bored or angry or something like that. Just play for 5 minutes. You will forget everything. The game itself it is so simple and the same time so entertaining. You must have a strategy to win but even if you don’t, the next match is a few seconds away. The for creating such an amazing game! The only problem I see are the “buttons” a little bit bigger would be better for those with big fingers.

Kurzweilig

Das Spiel macht spaß aber es fehlt die Langzeitmotivation. Die zwei anderen Rezensionen verstehen das Konzept das Spiels nicht und bewerten es deswegen schlecht. Die Steuerung soll so sein.

Kinda fun idea but the controls…

The controls for this game are abysmal. They’re wonky af, some emojis people need for some reason are right next to the „left“ button, if you come too close to it accidentally, controls don’t work anymore until the emoji menu is closed again. Real weird, needs reworking or an option to change controls in some way
