Asphalt Legends Unite Reviews

by Itz Winning

I’ve always been a fan of of racing games. Especially asphalt. When this game first came out I waited a little bit and downloaded it. The game is amazing, but as soon as you get to chapter 2 the opposite happens. The game starts to get unplayable for example class b rookie. You have to get the
Porsche. It’s pretty easy to get 20 of them but the other 5 are in BWM. In BWM your pretty much forced to use a one star Hommage and with the recommended ranks and the difficulty there is no way you can get past the level which means there is pretty much no way to get the Porsche. Well you can buy the Porsche from the legend store right, well with the recommended rank and the difficulty your forced to upgrade which cost coins. At this point where you need class b where I am I either don’t have enough cards or coins. So only way to get enough coins is you guessed it, REAL MONEY. And tokens are for coins too, but then you need enough. So you have to pay with real money again. People are not going to waste all there money on a game so I have some suggestions that you could take to make the game not pay to win and fun.
My first and only suggestion is to take other peoples suggestions. They have some great ideas to make the game more fun and enjoyable. Again the game it’s self is very good but it’s pay to win so you have to pay in order to win. This game has ruined my love for asphalt and unless you make it playable I WILL NEVER LOVE ASPHALT AGAIN.

As other reviewers have mentioned, I too had been playing Asphalt for a long time now. I reallly like the game when it first started and all you need is patience to get the car. Though at the time I was playing, there were spawners and high level drivers (which I don’t know how they were ahead of getting new cars before being published nor starting from a score of 20 then a few hours would end up to thousands 😂). And up until today, more and more spawners are showing up in which I don’t like at all. I play with the “fun” playing the game to win or lose but not loose to a cheater. The race tracks are challenging but what challenge if on special event you can only play with a certain car and if you do, you have to shell out $$$ to play it. As mentioned by other reviewers again, you have pay to get the playable cars on event if you wan to play of course. In addition, they have incorporated more patrol cars in which it’ll be harder sometimes to get to the finish line (challenge) specially if you have a slow car and also instilling hate to LE’s (my opinion). In the multiplayer game, there are a lot of spawners as well as in my team and the game has allowed higher league to play in the lower league. In which you won’t get no chance to win. I know some racers have the ability to race at speed, no doubt about it but please let the game be as before. Well coded, played for fun and not p2p…play for profit.

I’ve been playing this game since shortly after it was released. While there are some great things about the game the bad outweighs the good buy a longshot. The story mode is good and the daily challenges can be fun but monotonous. It becomes very hard to unlock some of the higher end cars even with the challenges that are presented to you as options. The bad in this game is the multiplayer mode which becomes the only way to play this game once you’ve maxed out some of the easier to attain cars.
**update** The last major update to this game was horrible. Look at the forums at the countless number of complaints. The game has become geared towards those that know how to cheat or buy the higher end cars that normal racers can’t get. You could easily flush $500 on this game and NEVER unlock new cars or win events or multiplayer races. The Grand Prix events are full of those cheaters and hacks that outrun everyone by seconds keeping legit racers out of the top 10. You can buy a pack of cards for $10 to get 3 blueprints towards a car that takes 48 prints to unlock. Bottom line, save your time and money because the game developers here don’t really care about the everyday joe that wants to play a racing game.

The game really fun and with every car you feel like you are going fast but it is paid is paid to win playing multiplayer you’ll realize that if you don’t pay for cards to upgrade and unlock cars. Which by the way, is the worse system I’ve seen in any game to be honest. It takes way to long to get cars and it feels like they are force feeding you with the shop thing they have. And unless you want to spend a lot on “5 card packs” to only get 1 card for 5 individual cars which btw need around 30 cards is a waste of time. Not to mention if you are not in the right league in the only multiplayer ranked mode you can’t use that car in multiplayer depending on if you bought a bundle for it. Not only that you cannot pass the bronze league or as I like to call it the “beginning of pay2win league” if you do not wanna pay anything like me. It’s a proven fact... you would think you can but I’m a really great racer and the highest I went without paying a dime in that ranked mode was, you ready...21,375th place in the bronze league with the camero with a ranking of 1,057.... the next race I got 4th place and lost to 3 cars that are right in the store, fully upgraded... that’s not even THE SAME CLASS OF CAR. Oh yeah and here’s the best part. There are Chinese hackers. Yayyyy I played five lamb is in the bronze league and got smoked in those races. Now in in 61,590th place....so do you really still want to download?

Great game and great graphics. The idea behind the game is great but after playing for a week or so. You will realize that you have to grind for hours and hours and hours if you don’t want to pay for the upgrades in order to keep up with the game. I am literally stuck and cannot go any further because I don’t have enough “cards” to unlock more powerful cars or upgrade my current vehicle to the next level. By the way, it takes an absurd amount of cards to upgrade your crappy Class D or Class C cars from two to three stars so I don’t even want to know how many cards it would take to upgrade a Class B or A. Races are fun but gets pretty boring after a while because it is the same track and same objectives. Developers should come up with a better way to get people that doesn’t want to play to play involved because getting 1 or 2 cards after every 5 races is ridiculous. The fuel (essentially how maybe lives you have) per car is horrible thought out, or in this case pretty clever way to take your money. The vehicles will not refuel to 6/6 unless you completely run out of fuel. So if it has 2/6 then it will stay like that forever. I’ll be uninstalling and finding something else more interesting that won’t cost be $10 for a low level class C car.....

I have to admit the cars styles and places and blueprints from challenges are pretty cool. But when you get through chapters while getting better your trying to achieve something awesome but have to do all the rest of chapters and come back to it because you finally got that specific car that you have to race with to get what you want. It makes this game not that playable. You want to be a fantastic racer, but spend most time just doing nothing and finding it not worth it. The blueprints come easy for some but I think only sometimes. Challenges give you blueprints but hard ones give you lots less than easy. And this games controls are not as good as others. I actually wish I still have asphalt 3. I want back drifting your own drive, and actually taking control. The 360s are pretty sick. I like the sick tricks you can make on the ramps and in midair too. I’d say those would be a great “same from last” to go with different controls. I think a lot more work with the actual movement of the car and some of the already crazy driving would be great work with new chapters that aren’t much of a struggle. We need all new ideas to become more entertaining and actually deserve to be legendary. And to influence better for Asphalt ten.

I played this game for about 4+ months. I have been met with what this company normally doesn’t do. I also have a few complaints. 1 is that that customer service is terrible. I sent a problem that I’m having where the E-mail was sent on April 25th of this year. It’s almost been a month, and I still can’t find any other E-mail besides that one single E-mail saying that my request has been received. I checked every mailbox. Don’t tell me to check any mailbox because I checked every single one. I have to reformat that so this company would understand. Another thing is that eventually you have to stop playing for a really long time because you can only do things with higher class cars, which means this game isn’t completely free. It seems as though you have to pay to actually continue playing the game. And finally, I hate the fact that anyone can take ownership of other people’s clubs just because they’re inactive on the game. This means that someone can hatch a plan to delete any club or kick you out of it. This can be a club with your friends and you can possibly not play in the same club together anymore. Honestly though, what happened to this company? Just a standard company making games now turned into trying to get every penny out of everyone’s pocket.

Asphalt 9 starts off as a good game, hell a great game. Graphics are good, storyline is good, art is good, clubs are good, and the store is reasonable. As you play you’ll love it like I did. You’ll spend money too cause it starts as a good game worth it. Until you get deeper in the game. Events are trash most cars will be faster than you regardless of how much money you spend, or how much you upgrade your car. You’ll even make a perfect run and they’ll still pass you with no explanation just because! THE MULTIPLAYER IS WORSE YOUR CAR WILL CONSTANTLY GET KNOCKED DOWN JUST WITH A CAR NEXT TO YOU!! When they matchmake you’ll see other players in superchargers and exotics and you in your Honda or Mustang. You’ll be completely out matched and over powered. STILL THE KNOCKOUT MAKES NO SENSE. OTHER PLAYERS JUST HAVE TO DRIVE NEXT TO YOU, AND NO THEY DONT SPIN OR DO A SHOCKWAVE; AND THEY KNOCK YOU DOWN!! And forget about catching up with the group you’ll never catch up! I can’t support a game like this anymore, I can’t give money to a game like this anymore. Even though I believe that everything in this game is at a reasonable price.

THE FINAL VERDICT FOR ASPHALT 9 IS A 4/10! It has some addictive parts in this game but too many flaws and I can’t do it anymore. I’m done do yourself a favor and play GSR 2 it’s better in my opinion and thrilling!

To be honest i have been a long time asphalt fan which also means i pay close attention to the game but when i first downloaded the gameit felt different the graphics felt smoother and the cars looked cooler some new mechanics added to the game to make it fun and enjoyable but after a week of playing I noticed that some main parts of the game try to bribe you into buying credits cars and sometimes you may even need tuning. As a long time fan i feel that the developers at GameLoft are more interested in making deals and money and are kind of forgetting the whole point of the game that makes players comeback all the time. The Fun, yes the races are fun and awesome but you can’t really have the best experience in the game if you keep having to grind and spend hours of your day just trying to get 5 useless piece s 🕵️‍♂️ to a D or C class car that will just need more blueprints to rank up even just one time its really frustrating to see a lot of potential in a game( not that it still doesn’t) go to waste just because the developers are getting a little money hungry 🤤 i know you guys won’t see this and if you did you wouldn’t care at all but if you want to get more people to play more you should start on those cards pieces or whatever you call them because thats the main problem that I have and I’m sure many other have as well. Good luck with your game ill be back after waiting for you guys to make another asphalt game...

I personally love Asphalt 9. I find that the game has great potential, and with its stunning graphics, exciting gameplay, and tolerance of different styles of playing, what’s not to love? The problem is though, this game is designed to try to get people to pay money. I personally have not payed a single cent on this game. Instead, I’ve dealt with the add’s, knowing that they were helping support the game. That changed though. The game went from having casual players come across adds occasionally to having to pay $20-$100 to complete special events. On the topic of special events, why is it that you have requirements for people to use specific cars that most players have worked hard to get, then just put a price tag of $20 on the hours that the player has spent to reach this point? It’s not right!!! One more problem is on the topic of ads. I use ads whenever I can. I’m all for the free stuff. My problem is that the game will go and claim that there is a poor internet connection and it takes me another 10-15 seconds to get the ad to run, even though I have a great internet connection. And while 10-15 seconds doesn’t seem like a lot, after 10-20 ads, the time compounds on itself. Another problem is that it will only allow you to watch so many ads before claiming “no ads are available”. There definitely aren’t any ads available, one thinks to themselves while sitting through a random ad that popped up after they went to the home tab.

The graphics are awesome the driving is equally amazing and i truly think this could be one of the best games on the AppStore.... if there wasn’t so many paywalls. I get that it’s supposed to be a grind and yet some of those cars seem unreachable. For example for the best cars you probably need to buy expensive pack costing up to 120 blue coins now that wouldn’t be so bad but the thing is itsnjust a chance you see even in the best packs theirs only a 10 percent chance that you get an epic and assuming you do get it the blueprint system is in the way so that even if you get it youll have to pull that off a good 40 times times just to get the car not to mention star it up so with aveg look 10 packs will get you 40 times 120 is 4800 now this is where the pay wall comes in. 100$ will only get you 4500.. so you’ll have to pay the extra TWENTY DOLLARS FOR JUST 470 tokens to get an epic but thats assuming you get the same one. You starting to see the problem. The problem is their becomes a wall where to obtain something that the players want they must pay forth huge amounts of money or play hundreds of hours its just like ea coincidence I think not.

I’ve been playing this game ever since its release, and for a while, Asphalt 9 was really enjoyable. The graphics blew me away, the physics were spot-on, Touchdrive made it so easy to focus on stunts, and the costless customizations are incredible.
....that being said, however, Gameloft’s recent updates have released events requiring extraordinarily rare cars, which are only available through extremely expensive car packs that cost real money and the new Multiplayer ranking system is abyssal, only allowing people with the best cars (and the fattest wallets) to level up to the next leagues (which of course allow you to race with the next class up). Finally, the worst of them all: the blueprints are THE source of the p2w in this game. I Asphalt 9 was developed to have the same paying system for cars as 8, Career wouldn’t be a p2w. However, it is because you wins up needing to get cars that are so rare that real money is the only way to get them.

I loved this game, but the real P2W effect has taken its toll on me. I unlocked my cars, claimed my awards, and made it into career as far as possible. Unfortunately, now, I’m fed up and moving on to games like CarX where P2W isn’t all that present. Such a shame that things had to end this way because I loved Asphalt 9 for a good long time.

Played the game for a year, incredibly grinding, but a marginally fun time waster. I almost completely refuse to buy packs, Price of packs is absolutely, stunningly abhorrently, ridiculous ... I can’t say this clearly enough - almost across the board spending money on these packs is stupid. ( and yes I did spend maybe $20 ) But the real killer is that now after entering a car release special event with every pre existing car needed maxed out and a big pile of token saved up, there still is simply is no way to progress past 75% of the event without spending $100s of dollars, and guessing it would likely cost $1000 or more to finish the event ENOUGH to unlock the car. It’s one thing to enter event with only a couple half leveled cars, another to make it functionally impossible without spending money even with all the cars maxed out. This is simply unacceptable. FIX IT GAMELOFT. LITERALLY.... buying $100 pack will not generally get you one star on a high end car... this is truly a prime example of how awful, gouging and greedy a developer can be. ( see “Game of war” for perhaps the best example of the worst ) $100 is more than any top tier full blown PC game 20 times as good would cost. Just don’t do it....

Okay, so I haven’t been playing long and in the beginning it was fine. Mostly just ads to get bonus stuff, which is fine, I’ll watch an ad to triple my winnings. But within the last 24 hours, the ads have gotten ridiculous!!!!! A race maybe lasts 90 seconds or so and now it’s playing an ad after every race. Want to check your rewards/achievements, another ad, upgrade your car, another ad. Go to career seasons, another ad. Extremely annoying!!!!!! I don’t mind an ad here or there, but 2 ads in under a minute is totally uncalled for and makes the game unplayable and not enjoyable....... I started playing as an alternative to RR3, which is a fantastic game, but definitely realistic and Asphalt was a more fun, less serious game. I’ll just go back to it, at least it doesn’t bombard you with unwanted ads. You can watch an ad for a bonus, but they’re not shoved down your throat like Asphalt is doing. You spend more time watching ads than you do playing the game, that ratio is bass ackwards....... Hopefully they fix this and put it back the way it was. Don’t think I’ll be playing any more until they do. Now it’s just a big long ad, screw that........ Bye Asphalt 9, till you get your act together........

I have been play Asphalt games since the year Asphalt 8 dropped and have enjoyed playing GameLoft games for a while now. But in Asphalt 9, everywhere you go the game advertising deals or packs to get your money for a decent amount of credits in game. When you start off in the game and get used to racing, you unlock a fair amount of cars, sure. Are they any good? Can’t say so myself. For every class of cars, there are about five of them, there is maybe 15 cars in each and only 2 or 3 of them will do you any good. I have maxed out multiple cards on my account and have compared cars side by side. Most players defiantly favor cars and will not play with half of the cars that there is to choose from. You can also purchase car packs in the shop that DO NOT guarantee the car blueprints that is actually on the packet, but rather car blueprints which are included in the same class as the car blueprints you are looking for.( When you collect 30-60 blueprint for a car, you unlock and can use it in races). They like to scramble it up in the packs and base what you get in the car packs off of “chance”. Typically leaving without the car blueprints you were hoping for, trying to get you to buy more packs for a better chance of unlocking the cars you want. There are also MANY bugs and glitches in the game that time and time again they will not fix after updating the game. The game is all around great and fun but unfair and annoying.

Legendary game no arguments. Amazing graphics. The driving itself is over the top but that’s the asphalt experience and it’s really fun. And if I still want to progress but play casually I can with the touch drive feature that was totally genius. I hesitated to play asphalt 8 sometimes because it really required you to be focused on the game. But now I can still progress if don’t have both hands free. But I must say I would never take away the traditional driving controls completely because I feel like that’s the only way to enjoy a true asphalt experience. Anyways, I miss the ability to just practice on tracks without it taking away from the cars gas tanks because I want to master the tracks or play an unlimited amount even if it means not getting rewarded for it. Another thing the game needs some balance in single player. My cars rank could be 300 above the recommended rank and I lose with or without touchdrive on. One thing that could help this I noticed is when I get a knockdown the npc will spawn in front of me yet when I crash I automatically am moved to last place. I also wish you could just restart a race when something like that happens rather then finish or quit just to wait all that time to boot up the same race again. Well I hope you guys at game loft read this because I saw there were 600,000 reviews and this will probably be buried anyway haha.

Hello Gameloft! Let me just say that you have made an amazing game here. Asphalt nine is better than most of the others that I have played. For some others like Asphalt 8 or Asphalt off road, it got kind of boring after awhile. But I expect to be keeping this one around for quite some time. The graphics are great, and I love watching the cinematic replays and the action packed stunts you can pull off! One thing I’ve already noticed and irritates me however, is that wreckage from other cars can push you off the road, and this is really annoying when I’m about to jump off a ramp and some debris comes flying out of nowhere and pushes me off. Also, something else you can improve on is maybe removing the thing where you have to find certain parts to upgrade your car when you have the nitro and acceleration and that stuff maxed. And PLEASE make multiplayer more fair, like pitting you against players close to your rank, because I can never win a multiplayer round since there’s always at least two cars three hundred points ahead of me with way better cars. But all in all, fantastic game, keep it up!

by Warrior004

Asphalt 9 was something that I was very excited for I was waiting to see what they were going to do with it compared to asphalt 8 which has always been one of my favorite games for a while until I heard of asphalt 9. I liked it starting of I like the touch drive because I find it better because the normal steering I would normally accidentally crash or go out of bounds but now I like how it steers and how you can also turn it you like the manual steering. But there is also one thing that I’m Shute a lot of people face in this game and it’s that it all starts of good in the first season then you make to the second and your like wow I can’t wait to get better cars in the third season but you get stuck at the middle at season 2. And your almost forced to pay money you can’t upgrade I checked over and over all the possible ones and there all on the red and my cars aren’t able to race and so now I do not know what to do. Except wait there until I can star up at least one of my cars

by DavidKnight63

I have progressed quite far into the game, with a 4 star vulcano and a 5 star centenario, and many other 4 star cars. The graphics on this game are unlike any other mobile game. The only downside is that it is very grindy and time consuming, and the shop offers in buying tokens are so not worth it. 3000 tokens for 100$? If you do buy that, then if you are buying car packs worth 75 per and u purchase in 750 to get at least one gaurenteed blueprint. The problem is, on average you will get about 6 blueprints per x10, so all 3000 will give u 4 x10 packs. If you have average luck, you will only get 24 blueprints, and all good S class cars take at least 40, sometimes up to 85 blueprints just to unlock. Despite this, you can grind up your tokens for free, with special events and daily goals. I currently have over 6,500 tokens which is well worth over 200$ that I didn’t spend money on. But ultimately, the actual driving mechanics, physics engine, and graphics are like no other mobile game! Get this game for sure if you like racing, and are ok with throwing lots of time into the game.

by PapaBryann

This game is really beautiful and amazing with nice smooth exhilarating gameplay and I honestly think there should be a version for the big boys out there like pc or console bc I think that if they do move to that or expand they will get a lot of attention and will get the eyes of people from the gameplay to the graphics to the vast variety or stuff u can do. I’ve never had a problem with this game yet and even if I do it’s alright bc everything has problems nothing is perfect but I can say that this game is not boring and feels awesome to play and win. Also the music is amazing and I enjoy it so much.

P.S. Developers you guys keep doing your thing and do what u think will make the game and the brand better but just make sure u aren’t reaching to become rich or make money but focus on making ur brand better and the brand everyone knows when they hear it and the games they remember like “oh yea that game that has such beautiful graphics and brought so much enjoyment” type of thinking when they think of u. But alright hope u guys are happy for this game bc it’s pretty cool
