Repulze App Reviews

If only this was as good as this at release it would have been a bigger success...

The graphics are amazing and the tracks are highly detailed along with the cars! Would rate 10 out of 5 if I could!

Despite a relatively low occupancy, the tracks and ships are incredibly detailed and highly varied. The controls used to be very awkward, but clearly the developer has put in much effort to correct the control scheme and hence it now feels very smooth and controllable. All three control scheme work very well to this stage. Phase after phase (Game major updates), more new mechanics are added which adds to the diversity of this game. The initial concept of polarity gate racing is very unique, and building upon it makes it even better. Its Phase 2 was a great example of building upon this concept. Phase 3 is something quite different though which I will elaborate on later... Many people complained of the absence of combat mechanics and so that has come into the picture as well! And the best part is, the combat experience feels totally different from the conventional combat racing games. In those conventional games you run into some place (Such as an item pad or a more obvious item box in the case of Mario Kart) and pick up a weapon. Then you fire that weapon...and its gone. But Repulze is different. Repulzes unique polarity mechanics (Alongside with its boost charge bar) makes the weapon system different altogether. By retaining a certain boost level by grabbing polarity gates, your weapon you currently get at that level is UNLIMITED. Thats right, you get to fire up that weapon infinitely as long you dont use up your boosts. Speaking of boosts, that also means that combat gets a bit tactical as well, you can choose to boost past your competitors or reserve them to shoot em up. And with unlimited weapons ultimately mean non-stop action (Can you imagine all these is on your MOBILE DEVICE?!?!) and non-stop firing. It gets really fun blowing opponents with your unlimited amount of weapons. The catch is, you got to catch them first, because they run really fast but that doesnt stop them from targetting you (They target each other too so dont worry about biasness). About targetting, its entirely automatic so you could concentrate on being obssessed with the combat action. But watch out for opponents targetting you, thatll mean you need to dodge their lock-on, and thats something you hardly see in conventional racing games as well. The game is excellent, but with a few minor flaws. The bonnet camera view doesnt feel very realistic as the camera doesnt bank as your hovercraft does. Also, during a breakdown, the view should either go crazy for a brief moment or at least the HUD should "screw up" (By using static screens) rather than just bouncing up for a brief moment. The lag occuring on Last Station still sometimes exist, though much more easily solved now. I do hope to see a Phase 4 coming soon, itll be a pity to stop developing this game further, and hopefully itll take more of our consumers opinions into consideration. As a last note, the IAPs are completely optional and can be "earned" through normal gameplay. The only ones that cant be earned are the gold paint schemes of the hovercrafts which ONLY allows you to gain double XP. Pixelbite will NEVER insert any "evil" IAPs in their game which destroys your experience by somewhat enforcing it through making it seem compulsory to buy in order to advance further in their games.

Reminiscent of childhood memories. Good reward rate, never requires in app purchases, challenge/difficulty level is fantastic. Really fun!

The game is so challenge with a simple objective racing game, very excellent . Graphic on vehicle is beautiful. Plenty of fun gameplay.

Objectives, fast action, dynamic tracks, this really has it all. My problem with it is the Stage 3 racing. Yes you can shoot others and they shoot you but in the end, you can really beat it by just spamming boost (which lasts long enough to get to the next boost charge).

The controls are nice and floaty (expected of a hovercar), the graphics are nice, and its overall worth buying if you like racing games. It gets you to retry a level to get that certain time or grab enough toolkits or break enough vehicles. I also like that these challenges (3 per level) stay once you get them; e.g. You dont have to get all three in one go.

- More racers are welcomed - No online multiplayer + Fluid, fast paced racing + F-Zero-esque + Several offline levels

The graphics and controls of this game are amazing.

This is like the best game ever, but it needs online multiplayer sooo bad. That would make it amazing!!

Repulze in its current state is well worth the asking price, its wipeout for iPad. The polarity system adds depth that you learn to appreciate. You need to use it to speed up and sometimes slow down early on. I would gladly pay for Phase 4 or at least more content. I think $1 for 2 tracks is a reasonable price and I would pay for all of it. I would love to give the developer more money through the in-app-purchases but I feel it would encourage more of that behavior in freemium gaming.

FUNCTIONALITY: -1 Star Runs Smoothly but Movement needs some work. ---------------------------------------- PLAYED ON: 64 GB iPod 4G- iOS- 6.1.3

Really great! I love this game!

This app offers a outstanding and special feeling of smooth and cool. Not like the other racing games which are normally focused on cars or motors, this game is like a scientific fiction and let you feel like you are a star-war hero.

I would have rated it 6 stars instead. XD In a nutshell, looks a lot like F-Zero, which is a good thing. Childhood memories are flowing back while playing this. Second to none, fast, strategic. Its almost perfect. One last thing... YOU GOT BOOST POWER!!

This game is very reminiscent of the classic wipeout games on ps1. The controls take a little getting used to but thats mainly because the racing is very fast paced. Its been awhile since I enjoyed an iOS racer as much as this one. Runs well even on older devices like my ipad 1 and iphone 4, and looks quite nice. Also, a major plus for iphone 4 users is the ability to switch off retina graphics for a boost in smoothness. I wish more devs would do this! Definitely worth a look for fans of this genre!

Awesome with the new updates!

At first the stage selection and menu were working smoothly then when I start to play it crashes! I spent three bucks on nothing!!!!!!!

Its a great game overall but I have one thing that is really bugging me. There are only two camera modes which consist of standard (looking at the rear of the vehicle) and bonnet (the vehicle is not visible at all). There needs to be a third camera view that show the nose of the vehicle. Personally, this would make steering way more precise. Also... PLEASE ADD MULTIPLAYER. Almost forgot.. if this game could cross over to the PS Vita it would be much appreciated :) it has already been done with jet pack joyride.

Works well. Great graphics and controls. Fairly simple play - mostly steering - but entertaining. Lots of levels. I like the fact that it does not pester or pressure one to make additional purchases. Looking forward to other products by developer.
