Hashiriya Drifter: Car Games Reviews

HashiriyaDrifter was fun but they recently added things that ruined some aspects like making too many ads, ruining the steering, and making it harder to initiate a drift. But here are some pluses always updating their app, always adding a map that is new, and very fun gameplay. Although there are many good added to this game, their recent update to the steering has annoyed me BIG TIME before their update I was always getting each and every drift right! Now the steering wheel is as slow as a regular cars wheel. In games like this they should offer a upgrade in steering wheels if they want to make it slow response to fast response. The new steering wheel has so much delay!! But adding a sort of upgrade in the upgrade station saying upgrade steering wheel response and turning response will help a lot. Addressing the next problem THERE ARE SOO MANY ADS!!! I understand that they need to make money BUT they put ads after you reset your cars position! Which makes it very hard to catch up if you are battling a bot or actual player. This also ruins gameplay cause who wants to see and ad mid match while you are trying to drift your car to get ahead of someone. Please attend to these problems because the steering wheel and ads while in game are kinda annoying, dont fully take ads out just move them to the menu so we dont get bothered mid game. Anyways if they did read this hopefully they fix this stuff and revive their game to what the mechanics used to be like.

While I find the gameplay, cars, mods, and the fact that you can tune the suspension really cool there is a small list of things I don’t like.
First, the ads. Ads were never really bad, like they weren’t super frequent but now the adds have just gotten longer and more drawn out. You’ll probabaly see one every other loading screen, this game dosent have a lot. The really probabaly em I’ve been having is I’ve payed for now adds and i still see them. Maybe only every 6 loading screens but still spent like 2 bucks.
Next big problem is it’s kinda hard to make money if you aren’t very good at the game, like most who are new to it then you might find it hard to score enough points to win a level. And then even if you are good your probabaly blew through the campaign and found your self grinding levels for an hour sometimes just to make enough to get and mod one car. I just feel like when I’m out here racking up 100,000 points in a level that I should get something more than a couple thousand.

Maybe add some more levels oh and instead of making me follow a windy yellow arrow why don’t you lay out cones or Jersey barriers, it would give the levels especially the street levels a more Tokyo drift type vibe. And it would be cool to see some more tracks with ai vehicles.

I don’t know if it’s because of the game or the ads because my phone has never acted like this on any game or anything at all. I’ve reached the 8th ad and then my phone started lagging a lot then on the 9th one the ad wouldn’t play and my whole screen went black, I thought it was an ad issue so then I closed the tab and reloaded it up again and my screen was still black, I did it like 4 times and still the same outcome. Then I decided that I should just uninstall it because it’s not working, when I tried to uninstall it, it wouldn’t uninstall and then my phone got dim, I kept trying to uninstall it and it didn’t, then for some rest my phone completely went black and it wasn’t off, I want hitting power button over and over again nothing happened, I hit the home button over and over again as well and still nothing, then I held both buttons for like 30 seconds and then finally it turned on but HashiriyaDrifter was still there. I tried to uninstall it another time and it happened again, at this point I was convinced that this application is hacking my phone, then I turned on my phone and it was still there, I was really confused then I tried to uninstall it again but this time my phone actually crashed and powered off. Then I turned it back on then HashiriyaDrifter was STILL there, but this time it actually let me uninstall HashiriyaDrifter but it was still being laggy while it was uninstalling, then HashiriyaDrifter finally uninstalled like how it should’ve the first time.

Few games for me are as reliably fun as this one. The few flaws, or at least what I consider flaws, don’t take away any core values of the game in the slightest. That being, slide your car and have fun. Currently I am going through some trouble when I try to earn money in the game through drifting. I never actually earn anything. Recently I was on a really good run, deep past a million score and in the range of over 20k in the money earned. When I finally decided to end the run and go back to the main menu I looked and my money wasn’t there. I’m not sure what causes this, but it doesn’t really take too much away from the game. I already have a fully built car (even though a recent update refreshed all my tuning upgrades to my engine), and I’m content with what I have. Although, my s14 is getting pretty old to look at no matter how many times I customize it in some way. I’m sure this is something only I’m experiencing and it wouldn’t be a good use of time to tend to one persons needs, but it would be nice to be able to earn money and feel like I’m accomplishing something in your fine game. Thanks for reading and keep up the great work. Oh also my last review I asked for y’all to add mini trucks and I’m not stopping so… add mini trucks please

This game has beyond enough potential. I absolutely hate drifting games but I love this one. It’s unique and the mechanics are amazing. However, my biggest gripe with this game is the bugs and lack of content. This game could be the racing game on the IOS we all been waiting for. But it needs more elements. This game is short on cars, maps, and modes. You already have the customization down, absolutely amazing. But I wanna see wide body kits. As far as cars, I wanna see more cars, pontiacs, nissans, lambo’s, and more, with tons of customization. Also the maps, while I do love the current maps. I believe it should be open world for the online feature and offline as well. If not that add more maps. With more room to drift and just race. Also modes, the game is short on modes. There should be racing and drifting to give people more to do. The last thing is bugs. While this game is absolutely beautiful, it’s suffering from bugs. In the Shibuya Night I find every time I hit the wall, the game crashes. Or the game slows down or freezes. There are a lot of crashes in the game, and this is with the graphics at there lowest. If you fix this, you get the best racing game on iOS. Don’t let this potential go to waste please.

I used to play this game when it first came out and I can honestly say the original version was way better. Drifting gave you reasonable money so buy cars you wanted. The drift physics used to be so much better. I’ll put grip on my tires now and my car won’t stop sliding when I press the gas unless the car is stock. You can’t seem to get very far unless you dump money into this game. The game is super laggy worse than when it started and I just overall don’t like this game anymore. I used to love it. It’s so hard to see around everything that makes this game not fun anymore. Some people like it but I don’t. You can barely turn when you reverse which gets annoying. Your car flips around completely when you tap the wall. You might think that I’m just bad at the game but that’s the opposite. I’m pretty decent. Not the best but decent. The game just isn’t the same. Everything is way overpriced. You only get the good parts of the game if you buy the premium which is way overpriced for such a laggy game. You used to be able to actually take your whole car apart now you don’t get to. You just swap parts by buying new ones. Parts you buy could be put on any car and it was honestly pretty cool. There’s way to many “adds” (which I say that lightly) to promote the premium version. Overall I don’t really care for this game anymore and I give this a 1 star. They’ve ruined this and personally I think they should go back to the original version.

good game in general, has decent physics and car selection is good. Customization is pretty good too with the exception of a few cars which have absolutely no customizable parts. wish they’d add like tinted tail lights and more intake options for headlights. Although i’ve noticed that i’ll just be drifting then all of a sudden it says i hit something even if i’m no where near anything. The lighting on Touge 2 night is atrocious, the ground practically is the same color as the sky and is impossible to see.
The Turbo whistle is also too high pitched and the game is basically unplayable with volume on especially when you finish a level because it just keeps on making the high pitched noise. They should also add more levels rather than just give us the same maps with night versions which are 10x worse because you can’t see anything. I also expect to not have add when i pay 2 dollars for there not to be any. Kinda feels like a scam as i still get ads a lot and ad banners when i play. Last complaint is that the vinyls just don’t fit on the cars or they look like a random jpeg slapped on there and looks crappy. (just updated the game and lost 100k ;) just can’t stand all the bugs in this game. probably going to quit playing now. great job guys)

Hey, this is honestly one of the best racing games I’ve played in YEARS. And I mean best game overall. Better than any racing game I’ve played on any console. The cars are great and the tuning is awesome. I love every aspect of the game and I even introduced my girlfriend to it and we’ve been playing it for literal hours. The only thing that bugs me is that recently I’ve made enough money to buy the r32 but every time I choose the car, it kicks me out of the game and closes HashiriyaDrifter . I have to log back into the game and it still happens! I don’t know if this is a bug that needs fixing or if it’s just my phone but it’s still doing it and I even let my phone down for a while and booted it back up but nothing. The same bug keeps happening! I love this game but it’d be cool if I could buy the car I want😔other than that, this game is outstanding. I love everything about it. The customization is exactly what every automotive game should have and the fact that I could adjust my grip, exhaust noise, settings, and tune my car just how I want it, makes this game a 5!!! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!!! Can’t wait to see what you guys have coming!!

Overall I’ve had this game on and off and have seen this game grow to what it is today, however with that being said I hopped back on this game 2 days ago and decided why not hop back on this game. So as always I’m rushed to buy a new car and start all over again so I do mind you I have no way of logging into this account unless I link it to sum so after awhile I play and I get pretty far got a nice new car and built it up and I tried to link my account to my Facebook and boom started me all the way over so I play again and ofc I get better this time cause I already knew what bugs were in the game so since I linked it to my Facebook now I won’t lose this save so far so good now I have issues with these spins what’s up with the ones with no prize why are people paying so much for that and still have the chance of no prize this game wasn’t like that when it started the most it had was the evo and rx7 and that was it it’s sad to see what they have kinda switched too as far as payments go and the ads are relentless you have to pay for no ads too like come on now as far as content goes it’s great tho I love the new campaign and the new amount of money you can get with the new campaign it’ll help you a lot.

Overall Hashiriya Drifter is one of, if not the best drifting game on mobile. The customization has literally no limitations which is great, however the interface could be better, a lot better. Starting with part select, it’s much better than the old one which was so touchy but now it takes forever to get to the part you want instead of just clicking on it. Also do we really need to remove the hood each time to tweak the engine? Seems pointless since the whole remove the tires to get to the brakes, etc system is no longer a thing. The Street Drift map is a huge drag server, people like it, I participate in them, so a new map idea, despite this game being about drifting, would be focused on drag racing? Also we’re getting ads now? I get the need for ad revenue but please add a 99¢ purchase to remove ads or something. The game has huge potential, the main issue is interface and lack of variety, which can easily be fixed. This game isn’t even a year old so maybe everything I just said is being addressed but just in case, please listen to your community. Thank you.

Now this game is good because almost everything is changeable but the problem is that I feel like I have to grind for hours just to barely get enough money to buy a engine swap. In fact a lot of things are very expensive and require grinding for hours and wasting your time that you could be using to play a better, non grinding game. The drifting physics are strange to as the transition to left to right is clunky and you feel like you have not the most control. The last thing that I thing need improvement is the amount of ads, I understand why they need to have ads to put food on the table but really that much? Let me list places where you will find ads, Entering a map,Exiting a map. Now that doesn’t seem bad but this is all of the time and it drains the fun from the game in one way or another. They need to make it like the old version because back then ads where a option, and make the reward for watching a ad higher so there is more of a reason to watch it because 500 dollars ain’t gonna cut it. Now the good things. This game as mentioned before has everything very tunable and it is fun. The drifting is not great but it cuts it out. The end of this way to long review

TL;DR game is ok

This game in my opinion is amazing. I love playing it and can catch myself playing nonstop forever. I love the challenges of going through each of the maps which require a keen level of control of your car. The way the game works is just really fun and the graphics are pretty good when it comes to the cars! The building part is pretty accurate and looks great. There are just some annoying bugs I keep running into that I think should get fixed. Every time I try to enter a tournament or create a tournament lobby, the game crashes and closes off on its own. I don’t know why but it always does that when I try to play tournaments. Also, when I’m doing online drift races, I constantly keep getting put in races that bug out and never start. So it brings me back to the list lobby and I have to start all over again to look for a race. Whenever I can get into a race, the game is actually fun! To be able to run against people in real time is great! But I would please like to have these bugs with the lobby’s and races to be fixed! The game will definitely be much more enjoyable!

This is an amazing game and i would be glad to change it to 5 stars if the following was fixed, first there is an unholy amount of ads. It makes you not even want to play the game. Second while painting a car I notice there is certain spots you can’t paint because it is glitched. The Subaru wrx tiger style, I try to change the color or vinyl and absolutely nothing changes. Same with the rims. You want to paint them all black and only 1 turns blacks when you press spray all or do it manually. Also, while in game playing online casual, if you have the manual setting and the top left changes from messages to leader board, while on leader board, it will not allow you to upshift, after crashing, going into reverse and then try to go into first gear to keep my score going, it goes away because I cannot upshift while the leaderboard is on the screen. I had also noticed when you change the exhaust on any car but here’s my example. The Subaru wrx. You change the exhaust to come up and end towards the top of the trunk, while in third person the flames still shoot out from under the car. Many little details that still need to be fixed. Will change to 5 stars if fixed.

This is the best drifting game I have ever played in my life. Only problem is it is really laggy and has lots of crashes off of ads, if you want a great experience you will have to have a really good phone and have to buy the $4.99/week premium to be able to have the best experience. I’m thinking the developers should add a thing where you can watch ads to be able to disable ads for a certain amount of time so you don’t get ads in the middle of your “Career” it will mess you up a lot and possibly crash your game. My game crashes very often because of the ads and because I don’t have the best phone. I really just want to enjoy the game and get the r34 Skyline but can grind to get coins because I am always crashing due to ads. If the developers could just add where you can watch ads to disable them while playing that would make my experience a lot better. Hopefully you guys see this and get an idea to some of the ftp people out there not willing to drop a couple of bucks on this game so they could enjoy having no ads during grinding “Career.” I’m glad I found this game and hopefully you guys can do something about the crashes when random ads pop up.

I’ve had this game for a few months now and I got my friends to play it and we’d have online car meets before the season for irl ones started back up in our area and I play this game everyday on my lunch break at work and yeah that ads get kind of annoying and then they added fuel I was fine with the levels I thought they should have been there from when I first got the game but the fuel and it limiting you to only five sessions in my personal opinion that’s just too much I preferred just being able to go online for my hour lunch breaks and show off my builds and my drifting skill in this game but now it just doesn’t seem as worth it because it’s limited now I liked it when I could just enjoy the game freely and for as long as I wanted to without having to worry about to fuel recharge like what most racing games have in my personal opinion that is the one “feature” of racing games that I strongly dislike and that I think will be the down fall of this game they have a large player base and they have a lot of dedicated players who play this game a lot and for more than five sessions that don’t want to pay for extra gas or watch the ads for free gas

I’m not sure which phone people are playing on where their game is constantly crashing but perhaps try clearing your RAM? Among other things. Anyways - HD, one of the best, if not the best automotive/racing app I have personally ever played. I find myself playing for extended periods of time the same maps over and over and over again attempting to get my best score and link the entire track. I love the customization aspect and I love the look of the game so far. All things considered, small, indie game developer, no big funding etc, HashiriyaDrifter is impressive. Plain and simple. The Developer is doing an incredible job and I have zero complaints. Suggestions go along with those from others; more modes or at least one other mode would be cool. Perhaps a head to head drift race mode where you can either race AI or someone online would be cool. Something simple like that with a best 2 out of 3 type system. First track picked by one player second track picked by other player third is random so it’s fair. That’d be cool. Keep it up man. The future is bright and the sky is the limit!

Big pro from this game is the game itself is by far amazing as far as physics, customizations, and track layouts.
But... for a game you want real attention for you must do the following.
1st let’s address the minor bugs like screen patching and lag and obvious things everyone complains about... the ads “how you make profit” no one likes ads but how else do you make money off an app to undate it and “pimp” the game out with better processing. I say keep them :)
2. More cars, maybe sell car packs of 10 for like 4.99 or two for .99 from here you could do more body kits and mods and do the same with maps, have a more free roam or gymkhana style maps for money or free, regardless! you’ll make profit.
3. This review feels more like “advice” that you already may know lol. this game alone is kick a**! Hopefully I can expect future update and maybe even eventually get to play this off of my Xbox controller 🙏🏼 thanks guys those of you who made it the the end of this bottles review, y’all the real ones! Catch me in the online free roam lobby!

The game is great and I would recommend it but there are 3 main issues. 1. Sometimes you will be drifting and you won’t be earning drift score unless you’re in a certain angle “sweet spot” if you’re drifting you should earn drift score, regardless of angle. 2. Sometimes you’ll barely go up a mound or not even you’ll just get close and hit an invisible wall or there will be no traction at all in an instant for no reason (especially the snow map) and this can cause you to lose all the drift score you built up. 3. The drift score timeout is way too quick, especially when paired with the 2nd issue, you can be going 85km, hit an invisible wall and not have enough time to get back into a drift, raise the timeout by at the very least a second. Other than these issues it’s a great game but these really get frustrating especially when you have tons of points from 15+ minutes of continuous drifting ruined, not because you ruined it, but because a bug in the game caused you to lose all your score.

Okay I never go out of my way to leave reviews and neither do I ever play racing games on the phone because they are too tacky but this game blew my mind. The physics in this game makes me feel like I’m behind the wheel and the attention to detail is just amazing. From the customization options to the car backfiring resulting in rpm drop. The idea of this game is really simple and enjoyable. Sometimes we just want to drive around freely with other people and show off our car builds. There is one thing that comes to mind while in a lobby with other people is that whenever I tandem/drift with people I notice that not everyone’s tire grip is the same, resulting in others going faster and some going slower. One thing id suggest adding is an option to adjust that on the fly like in the menu screen or something. Also there is a big lag issue after some time of playing. I don’t know if that’s fixable but if so please do. With that being said I’m glad this game existed and I hope there’s more to come in the future.

This is one of the best drifting games. It has great physics and great customization. This game has many flaws though. The night maps are way to dark and the same maps are on each stage of levels. There are also many bugs. Sometimes the game says hit when I’m not near anything and gets rid of all my points. Sometimes my frames drop randomly for no reason down to one FPS and that makes the game unplayable. One time I logged onto the game and I tried to go into a level but the game said I had zero hp and when I went to upgrade my car it would not let me. This zero hp glitch happened to me multiple times forcing me to uninstall the game and start over. Also this game has way to many ads. It seems that every time you hit a button an ad plays. This ultimately Made me quit the game. The ad campaign team also false advertises by taking Forza Horizon 4 gameplay and having that as their ad. These devs ruined a game with a lot of potential. Instead of focusing on new customization the devs should have focused of fixing their bugs and have less ads. In this games current state I would not get it. Although it could have been a good game :/
