Leave a Review True Skate
Super fun, could use some polish
Let me begin by saying this game plays very well, and that most of the controls feel very intuitive. This game is well worth the purchase, and I love screwing around getting high scoring lines and sick clips. That being said, there are a number of little things that make the game feel less than perfect. A lot of the tricks are very inconsistent, especially ones involving keeping your board straight, but that can be written off as realism. Secondly, you can't change your HUD settings in the record menu, and you have to figure out that you can exit the menu without losing the recording so you can change those settings and come back to rerecord the clip. Also, some of the settings seem broken or deprecated, such as the "Switch Indicator" just putting the text "Switch" at the bottom of your screen. Last out of the stuff I could find was that in certain scenarios the menu buttons just don't work properly, like in the Missions tab: if you've selected a mission and try to press the back arrow button it just outright won't work. You have to press the back button at the middle of the screen.Show less[insert clever nickname]
get the game. but…
i love this game. it’s a very fun virtual toy. it has the best control in any skate game. touchgrind doesn’t compare. however, there’s a LOT of grinding to get certain parks, and the others require money. not a problem for me since i love the game, but i can’t stress enough there’s a LOT of grinding for those certain parks. also, the missions are very glitchy and just bad. the trick recognition is very bad sometimes. i only use this app to free skate which is the way to go in my opinion. the big screen mode is also bad, cool addition but the leg movement is glitchy and not fun to look at. i wish they gave you a short tutorial to hold the spin button, grab, use slomo, rewind and reset, but it’s not a huge deal. overall it’s great for quick fun but annoying in some small ways. but you can pretty much just ignore all the flaws all of the time. the core skating is fantastic.Show lessKevin James' biggest fan
Store is bugged, support staff doesn’t respond
This app has scammed so many already don’t be the next one. The store is bugged so if you buy something like a map or a custom board then be fully prepared for it to charge you, sometimes twice for the same store item AND STILL NOT GET ANYTHING YOU PURCHASED. Oh and don’t bother contacting support or their development team, they don’t respond and won’t refund you. In fact they’ll flat out ignore you and only respond to positive feedback. These guys are scamming it’s play base hard with their fault store and my recommendation is just don’t play this game. Invest your time grinding another skate game that has a team who is willing to work with its player base. Awful awful AWFUL support staff and same goes for the developers who left the store in it’s awful condition for this long profiting the entire time. I’d give less than 1 star if possible. FIX THIS!Show lessVixsunYT
Great Game
So I got the game and played it for a while and it feels great.
Advices: Show Skateboarder Legs💯 Physics Version💯 Realistic Mode🙅♂️
The “Show Skateboarder Legs” makes you feel more realistic and fun to play. I like the way it is designed that part of the body is half opaque and the shoes are 100% visible. And there are even some animations for the character, that’s really great. I didn’t notice there is a “Realistic Mode” there until I read some worst ratings of this game, and then I tried it, and it sucked. The default mode is actually the “Fly Mode” or “On the Moon Mode”, which means the physics in it are too fake or the gravity is too little. The “Realistic Mode” is like “Mini Fly Mode”, although it greatly reduces the jump height or flip height, but it feels really rigid and sticky. No matter how light or hard I tried doing the tricks, the jump height is always that same little. Finally, the “Physics Version” should be called the “Real Realistic Mode”, because with the physics version on, you can really control and steer your board or player, the jump height is good and the feeling of control is realistic, it varies when you’re doing the tricks with different strength. So my advice would be, change the physics version to default and get rid of realistic mode. You can still keep current default mode and change it to fly mode or something to add some additional fun(For instance, people can do some impossible jumps with it if they want).Show less云深无知处
Truly the best skateboard game on the market!
This game is seriously amazing! I’ve been playing it on and off for the past few years! The only other game I play is True Surf and it’s made by the same company. Both games are seriously addicting! I think the reason why I end up loving this game is because it is seriously so realistic and pretty hard at first but as you get better the more fun and addicting it is!
NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: I’m having some problems getting the game to recognize my skateboards, parks, grips, wheels etc. I have a profile set up and I can see the some of the boards I payed for but none of the grips are there, various wheel colors,trucks, and even a few parks won’t show up for some reason. Is there anyway you guys can help me?Show lesskipude
Nice game but some issues…
I really like this game and the play style but there are some problems I think that could be fixed. 1st is when you buy the trick list it’s kind of pointless (unless you know the tricks) because some of the tricks on there are kind of confusing especially with me (idk much about skateboarding) so it would be cool when you tap on the trick you want to learn (or a trick you already did but forgot how to do it) and it would have the name of the trick at the top and there would be a clip of someone doing the trick and you could try to do it (almost like some of the missions you can do). 2nd is in the factory map there’s a RC car easter egg (if you didn’t know there’s a arcade machine with a car image in it and you just jump on it) and it’s pretty cool but the controls are so weird so maybe there could be right and left arrows just like the acceleration and reverse arrows. But yeah the game could be better if those ideas could be added. :)Show lessepic_gamer_405
Stingy but good
Honestly I’m addicted to this game and I play it almost everyday because of how smooth the mechanics on it are and I love how easy it is to get on a roll with the combos. My biggest criticism for the game is how much it wants you to spend money. Don’t get me wrong I understand it’s a business at the end of the day, but it kinda does some sketchy things to make you have to put money into it. The main thing is how you can rack up a combo with the point totaling 15,000 and get 150+ coins (in-game currency), however, if I complete a combo totaling 50,000, the reward is still always below 200 coins. This kills the joy for me because it’s hard enough to get a 50,000 combo just to be rewarded with the close to the same amount for less effort is honestly so annoying and stingy on their part. I refuse to put money into this game and would like to earn everything (which takes forever because most things like parks and skate customizations are 100,000+ coins) but ultimately its what is going to make me lose interest for the game.Show lessimtiredoftheseads
Great game, minor inconveniences
Ive been playing the game for about 7 years (since December of 2015), and I can say that this game is probably the most enjoyable skateboarding game i’ve ever played. Ive played Skate 3, Skater XL, and several other games and this always persist. This game has so much diversity (if you have the money), from vert skating to realistic skating. Its all around an amazing time killer too, and it also got me to start skateboarding in real life.
However, it’s now time to get into the inconveniences. 1 Inconvenience would be the prices of maps. They aren’t crazy (like 1 dollar a map), but it adds up. My recommendation’s for your first map would be 2017 Tampa, SLS Hangar, or Mondo Ramp. Another inconvenience would be the Subscription required for DIY parks, which gives u Unlimited access to all DIY parks for 5 dollars a month. Now I love this game and everything about it, but at this point it seems like they’re charging too much. Although, the starter map is very good unlike another skateboarding game on mobile.
The community is absolutely amazing, including the devs who are super layed back. They allow just enough glitches that are fun, but don’t break the game. Overall, this game is wonderful if you’re willing to dish out a few dollars, but really you don’t have another option so they can ask as much as they want.Show lessimabannana🍌🍌
“Constructive” Criticism
Ok so i’ve played the game for a while now and i’ve just wanted to point out a few fatal flaws with the game. Ok so first why must we STILL pay for maps when you’re already milking the new sandbox add on heavily. I get it you guys have to make money, but then why give us parks we can buy for coins that are worth like $50 when converted i don’t get it. IF you’re going to charge for maps then atleast give more free ones right off the bat. Before the 200,000 coin parks I played the default park for about 7 months and IT GETS SO REPETITIVE! Anyways good mechanics in the game it’s good, but either prepare your credit card or prepare your time because you’re going to have to grind for a while before you can buy anything. Ok bye! :)Show lessSoloko6666
Thank you to the developers
This might be the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Firstly, I love how this game is free from the beginning. Most mobile games today are too obviously exploitative, with the main goal of making money off the player, or making them watch as many ads as possible before they put it down forever. Trueskate devs have outdone themselves making this an easily enjoyable, no-pressure type game. No odd hyper-sexual ads, annoying paywalls, or bugs that make it unplayable. I especially love the use of in game currency. I’ve gladly purchased almost all DLC this game offers, and still I feel like my .99 cents isn’t enough to support these guys the way they should be supported. Those few dollars have provided me hours of clean entertainment, and gotten me through some rough patches. Thats a value you cant find anywhere else in this market.
Other mobile game devs should take notes from these guys. Keep up the good work, and Im excited for sandbox!Show lesslashonte johnson
