Racing pass is garbage now

Ok really, K-coin doesn’t even appear on racing passes anymore which stinks because people have to buy k-coin with real freaking money, like have a few k-coins left to buy 1 more racing pass. like the old ones were slightly better because you could earn k-coin at those times. also the improved version which gives you 200 k-coin per Racing pass, which was also a good racing pass. But those ones now are more likely to be garbage than the other ones. like people don’t waste money on k-coin but the goofy ahh community got so goofy that it removed racing pass k-coin. If you like free k-coin then this game then this game doesn't even have free K-coin from the racing passes anymore.

Love this game

I don’t play any games on any systems. One day my son downloaded this. Now it’s on my phone and been playing a year. Updates are always BIG and full of surprises. Can’t wait to see how far the game goes at its 2 year anniversary. Maybe Karts will be more realistic. That would be cool.

High hopes shattered

I played the old game (kartrider rush +) and i loved it so this game gave me high hopes. 1: nothing transferred over (would have loved to at least have some stuff transferred, like my sonic event stuff, but oh well). 2: i know in the name it most literally says drift but i feel like the drifting is way to much, like in the old game it was a good amount of drifting but in this game the drift go way to far, i will give it some credit for still being a newer game but still, i like the older one better for now. EDIT: the UI also feels really outdated in the newer game, not krr+, this one.

Pretty fun game

Overall I’ve really enjoyed playing this game, but now it’s a little hard to accomplish Grand Prix tasks. It seems people are either mostly doing flag mode or just normal games. I have about 4-5 weeks of challenges that are ONLY pending Grand Prix games because I’m unable to connect to a game even after 8-10 minutes.

Its good but needs a few changes

you see i Love this game! But i feel like the item mode theres too little of maps like for example, speed mode has a lot of good maps but item mode doesn't have many. But overall This game is Good!

I love this game i do have it fir other consoles but still its amazing

I do find the game very fun i really do love the art style the characters im try to get the little robot guy who showed up in the intro the one who pressed the button but ether way good game

Great cart racing title

It’s free and I thought it would be pay to win. It is not. You can improve your carts but all money can be earned in game.

Good controls, reminds me of Mario Kart, the real one not the iOS one. Lots of different game modes like teams. Try it out as it is free.

Item Shop

In my opinion i love this game and i love the style and the grind for races you have to do in order complete the race pass. But I have bought some of the nice stuff in the store my only problem is it takes to long for the item shop to change.

A Really Fun F2P Racing Game

This is only my first time playing KRD, and I gotta admit, this game is super fun. I’m still trying to learn the ropes, especially with the license challenges. This game has unique character designs, and the outfit redesigns are on point. I highly recommend this game if you’re looking for a Mario Kart alternative.

Downgrade from Kartrider Rush

I have no idea how this is supposed to be newer than Rush. Rush plays significantly better and feels better when racing/drifting. Also, Rush has vastly more character customization (Hair, outfit, masks, backpacks, headbands, etc.) while this game only has skins/costumes? How is that an improvement?

Please just copy Rush’s homework. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Rider

KartRider: Drift is an adrenaline-fueled racing game that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to for hours on end. This game is an absolute blast to play, with its fast-paced gameplay, great graphics,and endless kart customization mechanic!

Good idea, badly executed.

The controls are horrible, AI mode every ai is written to know every trick as if you are forced to go against pro players each time. There should be a normal mode for the ai. Same thing with map ai’s in ai mode. Everything is pitted against you, after a few tests in all maps with raising spikes big jumps and places to push people to slow them down. The only way to play this is on console/pc with racer mode as the ai is fully against you and makes it almost impossible for the player to get to anywhere other than 7th place. The ai needs to be slightly better rewritten. With maybe different modes. Except easy mode. Try not to do easy mode. The game still needs to be a challenge just not impossible.

Missing the thrill of Rush+

Saw some other people saying this doesn’t hit the same as Rush+, and they’re right! Wish the drifting was super slippery and epic like the other game but I’m still here to keep playing, hopefully when higher tiers of cars come out it’ll be better

Love this game!

I really enjoy this game since I play Mario Kart series. This game that I want try something different and turned out it was so good. All graphics , sound, and motions were nearly perfect…luckily this app never crash my iPhone. Chibi characters were so adorable which I like it! This is best play for friends and family, yes, family friendly game. Wish this game get more more popular around the word for few years later!! Keep up and don’t stop, just updates include new maps, characters and cars. 10/10

Not feeling it as much as Rush+

Everyones going the same speed basically, it's also very slow and brick like controls when drifting, it would have been good if it were the same race style as Rush+ but amazing graphics like this game, it feels empty when going on your Profile or the menu Home Screen, when to buy credits.. it should be clicked on the top where you see how much you have, not in the store/shop.. a little disappointed :(

Message of friends system,pet system and match system

The first time I played this game on computer when I was 12. After 15 years,I saw this game on AppStore and I downloaded it with no hesitation.
I like this game very much,it give me many pleasures. I can choose the role which I like. And in order to get a new car or buy a new role I would complete each mission.
However,after playing this game for about 1 month,I found some disadvantages in this game. My advices are as follows:
Firstly, this game does not include messages system of friends. Though I can add some new friends,I can’t send any messages to my friends. This is a bad thing.
Secondly, I like pets in kartrider very much, they are ver cute, but there is no pet in this game,I feel little disappointed. I wish your teams can add pet systems in this game just like kartrider on computer game 15 years ago.
Thirdly, even a few weeks before,this game add AI player in competitions,but some time I have to waiting a lot of time to match a competition, even more than 5 minutes. This will waste player too much time and give them bad experiences.
I still support your teams and this game, and thank you for your teams design this game,I hope your teams and your games could stay with me forever.

When will you fix collision?

I played kartrider since 2006. Phantom racers due to high latency just blink hit you out of nowhere. The speed mode experience is really bad. Also, if you get close to a racer and try to hit him, it barely is affected. He does not even hit the wall. This ruined competition in speed mode. You know what I’m talking about if you played the 1st generation of kartrider.
