Breakneck Reviews

This game deceives you with the way it looks. Great graphics, great animations, great sounds. But you will have to deal with glitches. Major glitches like hitting and crashing at thin air in a canyon map at the very beginning, freezing on the same spots right before you have to make a maneuver, impossible paths where if you take a certain way, you are destined to crash due to lack of altitude or speed and finally tilting. Yes - if you crash - they will give you two options:
1) watch a video
2) spend 10 premium currency units
Regardless of your choice, there’s a %50 chance that you will restart the level tilting to one side and will either have to struggle to keep it straight by tilting it to the other side or not being able to tilt and boost at all which will result in you crashing. I haven’t played it for about a year and just decided to try again. Now I remember why I stopped playing and will probably delete the game. It’s been a year and they did not fix any of the issues above. Please keep in mind that this game will eventually require you to spend some of your real $$$ to make it somewhat playable with all of those expensive perks you need to outrun the enemy.

I played it for about 30 minutes and got bored. It’s the same ship design, except there is different skins that can be unlocked. You cannot upgrade anything about your ship. There is nothing more to the story except the introduction. The “boost” that is needed to escape the pursuers has no fill gauge so you never know how badly you need or how much you even have left until it’s too late. Lastly and worst of all, every time you die you start the entire game over instead of just restarting the level. So basically imagine playing a game with 10 levels, and every time you died you started back on level 1. This got boring really quickly as the fast pace of the game and the poor design of the boost would cause you to die basically around level 3. I got passed probably level 5 after playing level 1 15 times, level 2 15 times, level 3 12 time, and so on. This got very boring as I do not feel like playing the same levels over and over just to die in an instant on some random spot in the game that just so happened to get me. Again, the “boost” not having this fill gauge added to the frustration and difficult of the game, thus adding to the boringness of the game. No point in having these amazing graphics if the gameplay is boring.

Until PikPok takes down the misleading “more coming soon” under pickup screen. DO NOT PURCHASE DO NOT WATCH ADs. Its been years.
Best racing game I've started in years. However, After u crash u have to painstakingly go through all the junk runs...over n over.
Never any updates. After you eagerly work your though gaining pickups that you may need in part to buy coins and shards Breakneck state “more coming soon”. Prove me wrong PikPok or take the inspirational misleading advertising part down cuz none come for years. For as much pass time & entertainment this has given me it deserves a 4 or 5. For the misleading hope of more coming soon, its earned a 1. Oh and the ship exploding on clear open ground that u can read over n over by peoples posts...thats super lousy., I was well in mood to play now got going my ship crashed into a phantom obstacle. Poof 1000s of coins gone. But it did free up time to update this review

Don’t get me wrong, this is a great game. It’s good for an adrenaline rush, and the feature of the persuers enhances the experience. The only reason why I’m giving this two stars is because of the difficulty, the amount of coins I get and overall how addictive I think the game is.

The problem with the difficulty is that the game is just hard. TOO hard. By stage 5, the persuers are almost ALWAYS behind you to the point where it’s unfair.

The problem with the amount of coins I get is that, since I just started the game, I get 30 to 100 coins based on my runs, and by perks standards, it seems to be that I’ll have to be getting way more coins.

Overall, I’m torn. The game is good on one hand, but the problems don’t make the game nearly as fun as it could be. It’s also just not really addicting to me, I’ve never been a fan of racing games anyways. I’m contemplating whether I should delete this or not, but I’ll keep it for now.

(p.s, i know I already said this, but I’ll say it again anyways, I’m just beginning with this game. like, seriously, I started, I dunno, 30 minutes ago? that might mean that my views on this game might change.)

Fun to play but it's a one note game. All you do is race and evade lasers but it does get challenging as you move up zones. My only issue is every now and then when I start a new zone there's glitches in the controls. It's super annoying, as I'm trying to go left my craft is somehow going right??? (and I noticed when this happens my craft can't even recharge and I'm just a sitting duck for the lasers to zero in on me) or even when I re-do a zone because I crashed I'll watch a video and it's pointless to restart because somehow something happens where it does what I stated above or even the controls just don't register at all and I just watched a video to re do the zone and for what just to watch myself crash in the wall helplessly? Anyways simple game easy to get bored fast and with these glitches I might delete this is app sooner than later.

I just wish there were more dynamic and diverse levels (the stages do change but they just seem to alternate the same 3-4 stages). Maybe an appearance from the "perusers", so we actually get a glimpse of them. Make missions easier to accomplish or secret stages and areas (maybe have them cloaked) slightly noticeable due to a faint ripple effect at their entrance. Maybe in these secret areas you race other players online or battle an alien pursuer. Idk, this game is fun and enjoyable but after a while redundant and forgettable, it would be great if you all added more to this one dimension (endless running) game. Also the graphics are amazingly beautiful! 10/10 in style and design as far as mobile gaming apps go. Have events with perks sometimes maybe? Online player racing across a level(s) of your choosing? Upgrade and improve the performance of your speeder like in a standard car or car racing game? I just want the game overall to be more immersive instead of just basically being Temple Run but instead of a guy running you have a "speeder" and instead of a gorilla monster thing pursuing you there's unseen aliens called "pursuers" but with better levels...but everything else about the two games are the same.

This game is fun, the only problems I have is that it stresses the importance in buying the gems to get any decent perks unlocked. I have also hit a couple of bugs or something, on one run I hit something that wasn’t there and died in the desert zone, and another the containers in the container yard didn’t load so it looked like I was flying. The speed in which the pursuer laser finds you is nice in the beginning but it becomes to fast even with the extra time perk at zone 10. You can’t even make it halfway through the zone before it’s zeroed in on you. Trying to complete a daily for a distance seems impossible.

Great graphics and gameplay besides those issues.

by 3rdofFive

I thoroughly enjoy this game! It’s easy enough to get started at, but there’s always room for improvement. However, there are a couple bugs that I’ve experienced multiple times:

1) The first time you crash on a run, you are given the option to restart the segment of the run that you crashed in, either by paying 10 of the slightly rare type of in-game currency, or by watching an ad. If you use the in-game currency, I haven’t had any issues, but if you watch the ad, roughly one in three times you’ll restart the stage and have a persistent drift to the left. It can easily be corrected for by pressing on the right, but since the game thinks you’re pressing on the left side of the screen as well, you’ll run through all of your much-needed boost and be within a couple stages of being destroyed by the pursuer.

2) Multiple times, on the Wasteland stage, I’ve collided with something in the flat, open plain NEXT TO the rock formations - well to the side. It’s possible that I just didn’t see something, but each time it’s happened, I’ve seen nothing before or after that I could have crashed into.

Those are the really notable bugs I’ve run into. I still really enjoy the game, and for the most part, they don’t offer a huge impact to gameplay, but they are very annoying whenever they show up.

I really love that this game challenges you and doesn't "allow" you to get to higher levels easily. I do wish there was more change up in each level. It does tilt towards to boring side after every new go it nearly looks like the previous area. I think this can be a 5+ star game if the makers put more into a story line and changes in the areas. Upgrades like allowing you to shoot rockets and blow things up besides flying around everything would be awesome! I deleted this game before because I just got bored with it. Allowing upgrades to ships and possibility of fighting the aliens off to get to the end of the area??!! Make the game better!! I love it but I'm not putting any money into it,, yet.. The game has great potential!

by Astrofishman

It's a great game overall. The changing environments with every stage makes it fun and not too repetitive. My only issue is that when you watch an ad to continue from where you crashed, sometimes you return to the stage but the controls are a little messed up. For example: The ship would steer left without placing my fingers on the screen. Now I have to steer right just to go straight. Another issues is the above mentioned doesn't happen but when I get close to a wall for a recharge, it automatically uses the boost. It's very distracting and leads to crashing and finishing the game. Besides these issues the game is still fun.

by BomberII

First off I wanna start by saying this is an amazing game that is definitely worth my time and anyone else who is considering getting this game but one thing that would make this into a 5 star game would be actual settings like being able to adjust how high quality graphics are (so you could maybe reduce lag or something like that) and one thing I definitely want is an adjustable sensitivity level. As a person who plays a lot of video games this is something all successful games have and would complete this game for me as the sensitivity is way too low in my opinion. Other than that amazing game 4/5!

Nearest thing to console-quality graphics of just about any mobile game. Controls take a little getting used to in learning how much pressure to apply since ForceTouch IS supported. Has all the trappings of typical free-to play games: upgrades needed to make it fun, currency packs you can buy, watching ads for continues, etc. Not the worst implementation of the scheme but not unobtrusive either. But the game itself is fun especially once you figure out which upgrades to leave on to extend your game. I liked it well enough to buy the coin doubler and having that opened the game up for me (which is exactly the idea). It is an stage-based endless runner so it gets repetitive but they mix in different climate and surprises. I docked it a star mostly owing to the adherence to free-two-play trappings even after I sprung three bucks for the coin doubler.

Like Into the Dead, this game has great gameplay, great graphics, and an annoyingly slow interface. When I'm playing something like this and I die, crash, etc, I want to be able to jump right back in, not wade through screen after screen of things I couldn't care less about. I don't want to share my crap score, I don't want see ads that have nothing to do with my interests or that don't seem to be geared toward someone who would play this game. Give me an option to pay for them to go away! And on the first screen that appears after crashing, give the option of an immediate retry button. All these animated menus do is take you out of the game which is a shame since the graphics and atmosphere have so much detail and effort put into them. Don't ruin a great game with bulky UI!

by DominatorMax

This is a great time passing game and it’s really fun to play but there are a few glitches I want to point out to everyone. When you die you’ll get 2 options watch a video or us 10 gems to revive and there is a 50% chance that you won’t revive and be forced back to the starting screen but if you do revive you will lean to the left and not be able to turn left anymore and/or you won’t be able to use your boost, now like I said great game but I would play way more if all these bugs got fixed. (O^O) Oh and I had to down grade this game to 4 stars for all these bugs but like I said if the bugs get fixed then you guys get the gold 5 stars.

by Joeyaa88

This is a really fun game! It takes a bit to get used to the controls and the maneuvers, but it’s overall a very good game. The graphics and audio are excellent. Its never crashed on me, but it has a few times not reset the game after I’ve watched a video to revive. The reason it’s missing a star from my review is because I absolutely hate the fact that you have to start over from the beginning (level/zone 1) after you’ve crashed instead of just continuing on, even if it required a coin payment or something (other than the one revival opportunity). Other than that, I play this everyday!

by Infinity Magiclily

**The only major error I've encountered is that when I go to revive by watching a video, the video will finish, but nothing will happen (the game won't freeze, though) and I have no choice but to exit the revive menu.**
This game has everything I'm looking for in a racing game! The menus and overall design are beautiful, the graphics are stunning, and even after you've progressed a while and gotten used to the controls, your heart is still beating fast when you're nearing your high score! The music and sound effects are beautiful! The Perks and Pick-ups are interesting and really do help your racing! The zones are a bit repetitive, but are well-designed and usually bug-free. The 3D Touch integration is useful and makes the game a lot more challenging! The daily missions and weekly tournaments are pretty cool - the rewards are fair and the kits for your speeder are all very stylish! The in-app purchases are decently priced (I've spent a few dollars on them, and I love how once you make a purchase, the ads go away!). I've experienced very little lag, and it has only crashed once or twice (none of this impeded my gameplay). I'd suggest adding more Pick-ups and tournament kits. I can't believe this game is free (it's definitely worth a few dollars); I play it every day and I love it! Very few apps catch my eye, but this one is definitely worth my time (and yours)!

At first this seems like another cheaply made endless runner to me but I soon into t game play I noticed how things gradually became harder the better I got at the game , you start to notice how the levels aren’t the same as they used to be with little changes being made to keep you on your toes . My favorite part about the game is how there’s certain points where you can hit a specific rock or a ledge and the physics will launch you into the air . But you have to hit it just right . I’m not sure if that was a bug or intentional but either way it makes the game fun . If You're trying to pass time or just need something to distract your brain with for a couple of minutes this is a good way to do it

I mostly play space combat-type games and I had an itch for a futuristic racing game but was disappointed with most of the offerings on Breakneck Store. I don’t even remember how I found this app, but as soon as I started playing I knew I found the racing game I was looking for.

It’s not so much a racing game where you race other vehicles, instead you race yourself to beat your best distance/time. So it’s a lot like an endless runner.

It’s slickly designed, has beautiful graphics, unique dystopian level designs, the music is awesome, the sound design is great and the controls are responsive and easy to figure out. So far I’ve been able to play for months without hitting a paywall. I’m super casual in that I play in short sessions, so I’m not grinding it for hours—I’m sure you’ll hit the pay wall at that point. But anyway, it’s definitely worth a download.

I’ve never written a review for a game before, but I figured I would for this app.
This has honestly become one of my favorite mobile games for a mixture of reasons. Not only is the musical score absolutely awesome (makes you feel cool and collected, yet like you NEED to run for your life), the graphics are phenomenal, the sound effects are realistic (try playing the game with just the sound effects and no music... it adds more realism and is pretty unnerving) the ads are occasional and not at all obnoxious, and the game isn’t even pushy about micro transactions like most others (makes me actually want to buy something).
The whole concept of the game itself is straightforward yet dynamic and surprisingly strategic, and the difficulty is not discouragingly high enough nor discouragingly low. Though the heat does crank up over time, it’s not overwhelming. All you have to do is keep going forward. Oh, and the speeder’s skins are wicked cool (there’s a lot).
If you like Temple Run, sci-fi, apocalyptic themes, and high-speed action, this is the game for you!

First, for a mobile app, this is magnificent!!! The graphics are beautiful, I could never get tired of this animation style. The gameplay is very smooth, after two months I've only lagged once. The controls are a bit sensitive at first, but eventually, you wouldn't have the steering any other way. The prizes in tournaments are fair, so you still feel like a winner, even when you get a not-so-great rank. But, I do have some issues...

Can we see more game modes? I'm slowly getting tired of the same monotonous endless mode. I would love to see different modes. Free roam? (That would be tricky) Battles, with some weapon pickups. (The arena would be inclosed.) Selectable tracks with optional time trials. Something!!! Just something other than an endless horizon, just waiting to be caught.

And, one other thing, can we have more customization of the vehicle? I want to have something to show off to other players. I agree with the paint job kits, but could we do part kits? You know, changes the look, but not the speed, or anything. Different body, wings, engines, etc.
