It's a great game. Skills, upgrades and a full campaign. There are a few downsides though. It is not explained how to get a boost start, very rubberbandy AI and the difference between hard and medium is immense. The controls might take a while to get used to but after that it is fine. Really nice graphics for a moblie game.

This is definitely one of the funnest racing games ever on mobile. The level creation and physics make it soo enjoyable. I tried playing the second version but aside from the fact that controller support and input of the controls r horrific, the second game is actually much more boring. The graphics are a little better but on Ultra it's not a very noticeable difference. There's actual voice acting in this one as well. Overall, a stellar title that has actually been updated and not abandoned.

This is probably the best game (+ Riptide 2) I've played both on mobile Android and also Android TV (Nvidia Shield). I've purchased it so many years ago, played it again recently (local split-screen for two players on Shield) and it is still spectacular. It didn't age at all, the graphics are spectacular (it looks better than most recent games), the gameplay is fantastic, the controls are superb. I wish more people would know about this gem of a game and make the leapt to purchase it.

I'm not real clear on deciphering your tricks. According from what I can gather you need two fingers on either side of the screen or device your using at the same time, so that's 4 fingers total you'll need to pull off the tricks? How are you supposed to hold on to the phone or device with needing two fingers on each hand to gesture certain directions to pull off tricks. Far to complicated. The racing and other controls are fine. I guess I'll just suck at doing the tricks. Great potential though.

It is clearly a way to unpopular game, I hope that more and more people start playing it. Trying to play in the multi-player mode is a bit difficult because there are not many and sometimes no lobbies to join, but overall this game is sick. The handling is easy to learn, graphics are really detailed and everything in this game, gives you this perfect racing experience. No hp, no annoying shields or special shooting abilities. Pure racing action.

An improvement on GP 2 in many areas, but this game brings several problems of its own. Great visuals, meh audio, hit-or-miss controls that can fail to recognise inputs. The first few rounds felt similar to GP2, but the difficulty ramps up quickly, unfair AI, discriminatory police and any other in-game obstacles will do everything to hinder you while NPCs move about with impunity. And that's on normal difficulty, I got frustrated and went to rookie mode. Unfixed bug: Missing brake buttons

Aw man, this's just sooo playable. Absolutely brilliant gyroscope controls, incredible graphics engine (HUGE draw distance, silky-smooth and the amazing water effects - can you believe it's from 2016?!? Could not believe it for a mobile game). Decent soundtrack too. I'm normally here slating android games cos of all the shady practices, but this's really special. The track 5 races in, with the storm, is particularly good. 12 years of android gaming, and there's sooo few as playable as this.

The trick controls are very (ahem) tricky. I've just purchased the for my Samsung S10+. Great visuals Brings back awesome memories of wave race 64. However, I'm finding it very hard to get used to the trick system. Some tricks are simple. Others are saying to either swipe twice/double tap/two-finger swipe left or right are very tricky to get used too. A more lengthy tutorial would be handy. Or a better explanation in the trick guide

60 fps on Shield TV, split screen multiplayer on one device, cross-device cloud saving, full hardware controller support and no freemium, p2w shenanigans to be found! This is, like the version before it, possibly the BEST racing game for Android! However, the online multiplayer is dead, and there is no cross-platform online play, either. Still, if this is compatible with your device, why are you still reading this? Go buy it and start playing an actually decent mobile game!

Excellent game. Very good graphics (ultra settings), good water physics, nice sense of speed, upgrades and customizations. Another console quality premium game with a single player campaign and multiplayer options. Definitely worth the price and some more. I'd have liked different camera views during racing and a replay feature. Update: Removed one star due to the awful design decision to put a freestyle event blocking further progression. The Fryta boss freestyle event killed the game for me.

The game is solid. The graphics and physics are outstanding. With the price point i don't see any other alternative to the riptide series when it comes to a racing game with zero ads and zero micro transactions. There are few things I'd like to say 1. The game uses cloud save but it's not mentioned in the description. It would be cool if you could add it 2. I am unable to play with my friends in a private match. 3. It would be nice if we could choose levels and police and not in random.

Overall a great Android game. The short loading times and the quick races mean that it is easy to kill short amounts of time without becoming too committed in the game. Brilliant fast paced racing. Gorgeous graphics. Great soundtrack (but see below). Good tilt steering. The lack of in game ads and purchases is bliss. Works well with my Xbox 360 controller (wired). Few flaws which can be worked on for their next game: music sounds excessively compressed and detracts from an otherwise enjoyable listen. Easier to play with a controller - you have control over the acceleration.

This's just absolutely brilliant. The gyroscope controls are the best I've ever seen implemented in a mobile game. The graphics, while dated against current AAA releases, are still really good, and the sensation of speed, the handling on water, wicked soundtrack, are all first rate. If u like racing games, this is and its sister title, are the best I've played on android. By some way too, actually.

Haven't played a lot yet, but there are some things I like right off the bat. It has a story, even if it's not super in depth. I like racing games to have a story. Second, once you buy it, you own it. No ads, no microtransactions, no unnecessary permissions so the developer can data mine you. I love that and wish more developers would return to paid Android games.

Fun game, impressive graphics! Gets progressively harder as you progress, but each level definitely can be beat. Higher levels and Boss levels might take multiple tries. Trailing in another players wake lets you draft off them for higher speed, and performing stunts powers you up for a short but intense speed boost. There are fun shortcuts and Easter eggs on each map, so don't hesitate to go exploring once in a while.

Great graphics, but at a point you'll never be able to progress. I've owned this game for over 4 years; still can't beat it nor even get close to beating it. Can't get past the race with the two people. I've gotten close, but then the game seems to just cheat. With or without a physical controller, this game gets way too frustrating. Grinding earlier levels for money to upgrade just stops, as a maxed out speeder is still nothing compared to the CPU. You can't just buy a new ride.

Wow, this is a great game. The graphics are amazing. I have graphics on maximum resolution and it still runs perfectly on my Pixel 3. The hydrojets, characters, and racecourses look awesome, and the physics are superb. The plot isn't that bad either. I really enjoy online play, especially the fact that I can race against my friends. The lack of ads and in-app purchases took me by surprise, but the fact that they aren't constantly trying to leech money out of you makes it so much better. 10/5.

For a mobile racing game I am blown away. To start, there aren't any ads or micro transactions. You buy it, and that's it. It has a solid story that doesn't get in the way of any of the actual racing. The game play is unique, and challenging if you wish it to be so. The graphics are great, and it runs well. My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn't register the trick you meant to do properly, but that may just be user error. I highly recommend. Fantastic game :)

Ive played all the games in the series and Renegade is by far the best. The cloud save feature allows for me to play on my phone and pick up on my Nvidia Shield Console on the big screen in Ultra. Both the graphics and gameplay are incredible. I've never had any issues in those departments. My biggest gripe is remembering all the tricks since they are essential for winning but I'll chalk that up to terrible short term memory. I really wish we had more "pay once" games these days. No micro trans.

Game I used to play on my kindle fire tablet. Came back 5 years later, and it's just as challenging and fun as before. Amazing graphics for a lower budget mobile game from 2026. Great storyline as well. The game is arcade-like in that there are only 10 or so maps to race on (which somehow doesnt get boring), and the way you pull off tricks helps that feeling as well. Overall 10/10 Note to devs: The firewater elimination level at the end of "The Veteran" quest is WAY too difficult.
