Could use improvement. *2023-08-06* This game me and my friends like, but we wish there was a way to play together. And we can’t play online because it says that we don’t have the correct account. Please tell me how to fix! ### 4/5 — Great Game, Could Use More *2022-12-23, version 1.5.5 (530)* As someone who has a hard time finding something reliable to play on my phone, this game sees to making sure that it’s not an issue. It works great with a DualShock 4 Controller, & runs pretty great, with many aspects from the Unreal Tournament Series. And as a fan of the 1999 GOTY Edition of UT, I find this game even more enjoyable. However, I’m realizing now that there are a few things that could be added; perhaps more modes, like Prop Hunt would be a good pick. And since there’s nothing you can do with the in-game currency after you buy all the car models & decals, there should be more added into that area as well. Not things like car or weapon upgrades cause that could screw up the gameplay big time. So perhaps add in more customization for the car models with options that could be bought with the earned currency? Like various fins or wings, or other options like that. All-in-all it’s a greatly made game, but it could do with a few additions to increase the lifespan of the individual users gameplay experience. ### 4/5 — I can’t play online *2021-05-15, version 1.5.5 (530)* It always says multiplayer not allowed for this account. What do I do to fix it ### 2/5 — Local multiplayer - Fail! *2020-12-21, version 1.5.2 (431)* I’ve been unable to play 1v1 with my son. Both of us have gamecenter accounts. I can see him to invite him, but upon him accepting the game just hangs saying “matchmaking” indefinitely. This despite restarts, reinstalls, turning gamecenter off and on, etc. We both have new iPhone 12 Pro Max phones. What gives?? This is basically the purpose of the game :-( ### 3/5 — Its a fun game but... *2020-11-21, version 1.4.2 (316)* The game is really fun to play, and I mean it, but the fps is extremely low, making it hard to shoot other players. It’s made even worse by the fact that the game is fast paced, so the game really needs to he optimized. Another thing is the lack of players online. I was playing on the online setting, but most of the time you’re just playing with other bots, with an occasional player. The game really has potential. ### 4/5 — Upgrade the graphics on the latest devices *2020-11-03, version 1.4.2 (316)* Is there any plans that you, developers, wanna improve the graphics so that we will have a better graphic of this game on the latest devices? Coz, it is just wasting the capability of the newest chip if we still play this game with the current graphic. Many many thanks. ### 3/5 — Fun to play *2020-10-17, version 1.4.2 (316)* Great game, I enjoy playing against the bots very much to learn the controls but have had a problem finding online players. I wonder if this has to do with it being on Arcade? I suppose for now I’ll have to rely on party mode to have real world players to compete with. Obviously the “Matxhmaking” feature is broken, very disappointed that there’s nobody to play online against but also not surprised. I just discovered this game in Arcade and thought it was new but reading the reviews and checking the developer release schedule it appears it’s been around for about a year now. I can’t believe there aren’t any players online to link up with for battles! Only 3 stars until I can actually compete online against real players. ### 4/5 — Ok but... *2020-10-14, version 1.4.2 (316)* This is overall is a great game but for me it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an online game so I’m forced to play with bots in which I win every time, please fix that or just find a few people and fill the rest in in with bots. Also the graphics are a little... there low quality graphics and it would be nice if u could upgrade them. Also I ALWAYS play this on controller and I’d like there to be a first person mode, so add Forza’s first person views combined with the game that would make me play it non stop, also can u please make it so that it’s available on Mac. Thank you for such a great game ### 3/5 — Please make this free to play *2020-08-14, version 1.4.2 (316)* Please make this game free to play please ### 3/5 — QUIRKY GAME *2020-06-25, version 1.4.1 (309)* I got the game and it was amazing,but it has stopped working and I am deleting the game and I hope that the people who made the game see this review and modify the game ### 2/5 — Disappointing team play experience *2020-06-18, version 1.4.1 (309)* Very similar to other games out there, but can still be a challenge and fun. After getting through the tutorial I wanted to play with friends, the invite to play doesn’t work. **Developer response:** We're sorry you are having problems - if you submit a ticket via our support page then we can investigate the issue. ### 4/5 — Decent game with some major drawbacks *2020-03-11, version 1.3.1 (293)* This is a fun shooting game with quite some major drawbacks. On the overall gameplay-wise, it is fast pace, fun to shoot, variety of weapons to choose from and enough maps with different environment. With great graphics, I can say it’s a quite decent game. But there’re also some major drawbacks which provides negative experience. First is the low FPS. I am playing this game on the latest iPad Pro which can run Fortnite in 120 FPS, but in this game, I can tell it’s not stable at 60 FPS during the battle. Second is the weapon picking up. When you drive near a weapon, it will automatically equips on me, but there’s no visual feedbacks, so I can’t really tell if I really has it not. Another annoying feature is the newly picked up weapon will be automatically set active, no matter which one I am currently using. The last drawback is the tutorial, it teaches the basic of the game, but missing some other important ones, such as jumping, boosting and most importantly, switching weapon. I found all those features in the later stage of the game. Maybe this issue is related to the Xbox controller players, since if you’re playing with touch control, you will see those virtual buttons right away. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're committed to making ShockRods the best it can be so we'll be sure to take note of your thoughts as we continue creating content for the game. As for weapon switching - you can change this behaviour in the settings menu. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I can’t even play online please fix👺🤬 *2022-06-08, version 1.5.5 (530)* OK I’ve been trying to fix this for so long even I get home I mainly just try several times to get this fixed and this Internet connection won’t even work try to play and I still have to play off-line all the time I can’t even play any one on the Internet I can’t even play please fix it please😭😭 ### 1/5 — iOS 14 Update Broke Multi-player Party *2020-12-12, version 1.5.2 (431)* Multi-player (i.e. “Start Party”) doesn’t work anymore. It never finds a match when you invite your friends. We use to play every weekend — now no matter what we do it doesn’t work. Please roll back the update. This was an awesome game, our favorite!!! Please fix. ### 1/5 — Can’t open on my se2020 *2020-07-04, version 1.4.1 (309)* Brand new se2020 can’t open this game??????? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t start *2020-06-25, version 1.4.1 (309)* This won’t work on the iphone se second generation. It crashes on start Still won’t work. Still crashes 2 months later and still no support for iPhone SE second gen users. Let alone any response from the devs. ### 1/5 — Dosent work on iPhone se 2 *2020-05-10, version 1.4.1 (309)* Game instantly crashes right when u click on it taking u back to the home screen ### 1/5 — Another re-skin *2020-05-02, version 1.4.1 (309)* Another dev adding skins to an existing game frame work trying to take advantage of the Apple Arcade subscribers. The cars move sideways... This is such a blatant purposeless re-skin. They reset their reviews too. ### 1/5 — Great game *2020-04-19, version 1.3.1 (293)* It’s a great game, but the store either doesn’t work or is way to hard to use ### 1/5 — Ehh *2020-04-14, version 1.3.1 (293)* So the controls are way to small I can’t shoot and adjust at the same time the graphics are one of the worst in Apple Arcade so I REALLY wish the buttons were larger that is the main part and reason why I’m no going to play this game. ### 1/5 — Good game but... *2020-01-07, version 1.1.1* I really liked the game but recently every time I try to play the game it will not load and I can’t play it at all so I might have to delete it ### 1/5 — “Matchmaking” is really just players labeled bots *2019-11-01, version 1.0.4* Really would like to enjoy this game but the matchmaking is leaving me with bots every time when selecting online. I’m in middle of United States so ether no one anywhere is playing the game or server matchmaking is not “matchmaking”. Have attempted to play various days at different times. Since day of release, I really don’t understand how this game advertised multiplayer. I’ll probably hold onto for maybe month but this is dumb on the devs part. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THE BEST!!! *2022-12-12, version 1.5.5 (530)* When I was I kid I loved cars and stuff and this is just perfect! I just started and I’m a pro :) there’s no problems I just love it make sure to play! :) 🤗 ### 5/5 — Love it but… *2022-09-07, version 1.5.5 (530)* IT NEEDS MORE CHARACTERS AND WEAPONS ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-12-07, version 1.5.5 (530)* Hi Developer, I really like this game, very fun to play. Smooth and good handling. However , there is less and less player now, hard to find a player i multiple player mode now. I think it is mainly due to some connection issue before. To regain the interest, I think we need a big update, add different type of vehicles, weapons whatever big! I really like this game, hope the developer don’t give up and continuously support this game! Looking forward for an update ### 5/5 — Question *2020-10-24, version 1.4.2 (316)* What is this GameCentre ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-08-01, version 1.4.2 (316)* I’ve been a fan of arena shooters since I was a kid (Back in the Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8 days.) This game definitely brings back the joy of playing those games. So far I’m enjoying everything about it. I really like the customization element and all of the detail that was put into it. It reminds me a lot of the old Armored Core games where you could customize your mechs. I’m giving the game 5 stars because I really enjoy it but I do have one suggestion. It would be cool if we could communicate with other players so we know who’s ai and who isn’t. I wish more people would play this. If this were a console or PC game I would totally purchase it. **Developer response:** We're glad you've enjoyed it - thank you so much for playing! ### 5/5 — Such A Fun game *2020-06-21, version 1.4.1 (309)* This game is so much fun it’s like call of duty meets rocket league, meets twisted metal! Please keep up the good work I am entertained! ### 5/5 — Crash? *2020-06-15, version 1.4.1 (309)* I cannot load into this app because every time it crashes. I don’t know if this is my end or yours but I’m on a SE2. Anyway it looks like a really fun game and I hope that this all gets worked out so I can try it. PS. I’m pretty sure it’s my end but I figured I’d let you know just in case **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know you have an issue with the iPhone SE - we are currently investigating this problem, but if you also want to submit a ticket via our support page then please feel free. ### 5/5 — Guns *2020-05-05, version 1.4.1 (309)* Overall this is a good game but please let players pick a gun to use throughout the game not with all these random guns around **Developer response:** Thank you for playing ShockRods! You can change weapon assignment settings (including turning off auto-weapon switching) in the options menu. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-04-13, version 1.3.1 (293)* I really like this game. It is so fun the offline mode and online mode is amazing. Didn’t try Shockball yet but I will let you know how I like that match. So far Deathmatch is fun I really enjoy that the most and the graphics are spot on. Well done. **Developer response:** We're extremely glad that you've been having fun - thank you for playing! ### 5/5 — So fun!!!!!!! *2020-04-11, version 1.3.1 (293)* I have been playing it nonstop I love the concept of the game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
