Fun play, but set up for failure
Game play in itself is a blast but the “game makers” need to do some serious and very much so obvious updates. 1-This game will set you up with other opponents for example that have 2x if not 3x the disc throwing power, making it impossible to win. (Solution-all opponents should be with in a 1,000 point radius). 2-The game takes forever. Once the button is released and the disc is in the air, there needs to be a fast forward button that the “thrower” can choose to press, this way it doesn’t take 7 minutes just to play 1 opponent. 3-If a player has made the round and the opponent doesn’t even have a chance to even get to the green based on the discs throwing power than the game should just end (there is no need to watch the inevitable obvious play out…it’s a waste of time). Lastly is 4-When playing a round you choose where to throw but unfortunately when you let go the flight pattern completely changes (glitches out) which is extremely frustrating and it messes up many shots. For some reason this happens the most on the “draw match.” This game is great for short term entertainment, but for term, it’s terrible. If the makers of this game want more game play and more money as a business they would take this review very seriously!

In the end it’s horrible
Once you get good they want you to pay for the upgrades and the game becomes aggravating and pointless. Played the game for quite some time but it’s easy to see how many times you play against the same computer over and over. Also after countless plays it isn’t that you get worse rather the computer just won’t allow you to win. I played courses that were easy but once your score goes up all of a sudden you are bad at a course you could Always do well on but since the computer tries to make it “harder” you miss shots you’ve always made. In the end it’s a game fun to play for a short time but once they want to you pay money to get the add one the fun ends.

Easy, Fun but could be soooo much better…
This game is easy to play and is fun too. BUT, the game would be more fun if you could play multiple holes (18 holes would be great). It’s fun collecting new discs and it’s pretty easy to get better and better discs. If you win a match you win a treasure chest which takes either 4 or 8 hours to open. That wouldn’t be bad but you only have 5 slots to fill and you can only open 1 chest at a time unless you want to waste 50+ gems to open one without waiting. And once all the slots are filled you can’t earn anymore for winning matches. So, you either wait 4-8 hours to open a chest or you waste 50+ gems to open them immediately. They should provide more slots, or give money or gems for winning when you have no open slots, or provide 1 extra slot for every 500 gold coins you earn, or some combination of those.
I used to play Golf Rivals and enjoyed it BUT I got bored with it because of all the same reasons I’m bored with Disc Rivals.

Obviously reskinned golf game - not accurate
OK. So game can be fun to play for a while. But as a disc golfer I keep being frustrated by just how inaccurate this is to the real game. After a while it’s obvious that this was just their golf game reskinned for disc golf without any major effort and by someone that didn’t understand disc golf.
1. Discs don’t have major curves like that always. And rarely roll afterwards unless you try hard to do that. And that’s far more advanced than just doing basic throws. It should have been designed to do straight throws mostly. And you upgrade/learn how to curve it for better placement.
2. The idea of sand discs. And rough discs. With limited range. Completely false. And definitely a port from golf. Makes no sense in Disc golf context.
3. The awkward “oops you can’t use your driver disc and now can’t reach the green” with artificial limits on what discs you can use is similarly frustrating. You can throw any disc at any time. Should be the same here.
4. the idea that hitting the ‘pole’ vs going in the basket should be worth scoring at al is just very wrong.
Anyway. Worth some gameplay. But don’t expect physics / rules to be anything like real disc golf.

Wildly Inconsistent and Unrealistic
This game has promise, but it’s basically a ball golf game lazily reformatted to include discs. I’ve played disc golf for years and can attest that at NO time will your disc skip to the left or right as far as your throw was long…
Also, one day the game plays fine and the next you can’t even play against anyone because as soon as an opponent is selected, it just kicks you right back out to the Home Screen. I’ve had five chests that I haven’t been able to open for three days now because of a glitch. I can tap on them and it takes me to the screen where you open them. When I tap on them it makes a noise, but the chests never open. Since the game is now, for all intents and purposes, unplayable, I’ll be deleting as soon as this review is sent.
Very disappointing for a game that had some promise despite its shortcomings.
