About

Nitro Apex

Features
Read full description

Nitro Apex is a 3D racing game built for your phone: sim-flavoured handling, arcade speed. DRIFT TO BOOST Every slide charges your nitro. Hold the drift through the apex, fire the boost on the straight and take the lead. TEN TRACKS, DAY AND NIGHT Coastal roads, canyon passes, an alpine climb, a frozen ridge, a volcano rim, a harbour, an airport runway, a neon speedway and a night city lit by street lamps and storefronts. EIGHT CARS TO EARN AND TUNE From a nimble class-D hatch to a class-S+ prototype. Buy upgrades for engine, turbo, tyres, brakes and suspension, paint your car and pick your rims. Damage is real: repair in the garage between races. REAL ENGINE SOUNDS Every engine family (four-cylinder, V6, V8, V10) is built from real recordings, layered and pitched live with the revs. FREE ROAM CITY Leave the track and cruise a daytime city with traffic: ring road, back streets, a stadium, a mall and a mosque. Every street is open. FUEL AND CAREER Each race costs one unit of fuel that refills over time. Win credits, climb the classes, unlock the next car. Nitro Apex is free to play and contains optional in-app purchases and rewarded video ads. No account needed. Works offline; ads and purchases need a connection.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Asphalt Xtreme at none against Nitro Apex's shown. Nitro Apex's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
