Gameloft's latest mobile arcade racing game, "Asphalt 9: Legends," just splashed on mobile yesterday, July 26, much to the excitement of fans.
The “Asphalt 9: Legends'” release date was last officially announced during Gameloft's live stream showcase. More importantly, the showcase provided a demo of the game's improved graphics, which include massive improvements on visuals such as surface reflection, bloom, and awesome sun rays. Because of the game's beautiful graphics, it can easily be mistaken for a non-mobile focused game.
Other features that were highlighted include improved quality-of-life features for new and casual players, especially players who can't seem to get a hang of how drifting works using the game's manual controls. The new control system, called Touch Drive, automatically helps players accelerate and turn the automobile while players have a more strategic input in how the race will turn out.
Such decisions that players using the Touch Drive control scheme can focus on include the application of the nitro boost, focusing on applying the brakes when a hard turn is coming up to make the vehicle drift, and selecting which path to take when faced by forks on the race track.
NDTV reviewed the game with a score of eight out of 10, citing the game's visuals, improved control options, and variety of game modes and features as its strongest suit. NDTV does mention that the game does have issues with its always-online requirement when playing, as well as the free-to-play limits on vehicle variety access for players.
PocketGamer also came out with their review as well. The mobile gaming app review site cites the game's flexible control scheme and the solid free-to-play time-gate experience not leaving players too much idle time as the best aspects of the game.
“Asphalt 9: Legends” is now available for free-to-play download on the Google Play and iOS stores.
