A single crash will lead you to restart the race, and there is no way to do that during the event now.

They tend to be quick and over with, but that means there is no room for errors in a 40-second run. Events can be surprisingly short, on the other hand, which isn’t a feature completely like. Earning career flags through completing objectives in turn unlocks further events in a championship, and given these are easy to do, players won’t have trouble moving through the single player mode. Coming in first is no longer necessary, albeit half of the races will usually require you to come first anyways.

I like what’s they’ve done with the progression design, removing position requirements for each event and instead replacing it with a few goals to reach. This results in an extensive single player career that is packed with variety, rarely restricting your progress throughout its runtime. Car classes have been shrunk down to only five, but you now get about 10 full championships per type. Instead of splattering events across different acts, Asphalt 9 separates races under championships, each with a specific requirement. The career mode has been significantly overhauled to follow a structured progression, and now includes more events than in any of the previous games. What you get here is a streamlined racer with expansive variety and features that send it into the rank of legends, all available at absolutely no cost.Īlthough Asphalt 9: Legends plays completely similar to its predecessor, it expands on other key areas of the experience to feel completely different. While it can’t quite escape the various tropes of free-to-play gaming, these are minor complaints in the face of all features available, and progress never halts to a complete stop.

An experience that largely iterates on what Asphalt 8: Airborne built up, the ninth instalment improves on progression and gameplay in meaningful ways that make it one of the best racers on mobile. Developer, Publisher: Gameloft Released: July 25th, 2018Īsphalt 9: Legends doesn’t quite take off into the air like its predecessor, but reaches new heights thanks to outstanding gameplay and bright visual design.
