KartRider Rush+, Reminisce with the Racing Game of the Internet Cafe Era

About 8 years ago, most internet cafes in Indonesia were quite lively with the presence of the MMO Racing concept game made by Gemscool. That game is KartRider. This pretty pretty visual racing game was an immediate hit. Now, this game reappears with the title KartRider Rush+. Not Gemscool, but Nexon who brought it for mobile devices.

Visual Remains Beautiful

First time playing KartRider Rush+, players will be treated to cooler visuals than the previous version. This game has applied really smooth 3D visuals. Except that the developer also designed a more detailed depiction of each character, vehicle and map. Each color is designed to be more brilliant and full color. Another interesting thing is that the features are increasingly diverse, for example the presence of house features, players can design terrace designs to be equipped with various furniture and plants.

Even though it offers various features, the user interface in the lobby is still beautifully designed. Of course not only for the appearance of the lobby, while racing,  user interface quite fitting especially KartRider Rush+ is a racing game where visibility is a crucial aspect so that players can maneuver properly.

Simple Game Rules

Is a game with the concept of MMO Racing, KartRider Rush+ has similarities with GKART whose title is Garena Speed Drifters. The similarities can be seen from the playing techniques and the graphics that are presented. The difference is the race maneuvers. KartRider Rush+ for the mobile platform offers racing maneuvers with simple drifts, which are very easy to do. Meanwhile, Garena Speed Drifters, maneuvers are the main point where players must remember various maneuvers or variations of each maneuver.

A number of items found in KartRider Rush+ include the Smart Helmet to keep races safer. Then there is also a collision protection menu, it's just that if you activate it, players can't take advantage of it shortcut provided in a particular map. Could be Nexon wants to present an even more exciting game to reach players who haven't even played online racing games.

Nevertheless, KartRider Rush+ still offers the License feature. This License feature is useful so that players know the details of the strength they have. Then the enemy also automatically follows the highest License that can be achieved. The higher the License, of course, the more expert racing techniques. Furthermore, KartRider Rush+ also carries a Rank feature which can be increased in which way, namely win or on the podium in each race. The higher the rank, the more difficult the enemy is facing.

Then players can upgrade their racing skills by adding Potential points which function to increase stats during races. If players are not yet very skilled, they can use the Mentorship menu to learn from other players who are experts. Players can also register as mentors to share racing techniques.

Microtransactions and K-Coin

The factor that is lacking in games with the free-to-play type is the microtransaction facility that has the potential to make the game run unfairly, which is called Pay to Win. Even in KartRider Rush+, players have to make the most expensive purchases, namely vehicles, items, accessories and many more so they can become number one.

It's just that some accessory items with exclusive items can only be purchased using the battery as a transaction method in this game. For various items and other types of vehicles that are quite important, KartRider offers two fixed purchase menus, namely microtransactions and K-Coins. K-Coins can be obtained by completing quests found in KartRider Rush+.

The existence of game c will certainly complement the choice of MMO Racing games which are still rare for mobile devices. KartRider Rush+ tries to position itself as a game that is both fun and interesting. Presenting the appearance of a cute character with a fairly detailed and beautiful depiction.

Unfortunately for players who are used to playing racing games that require a lot of maneuvers and variations of drifts, of course they are a bit disappointed, because KartRider Rush+ gameplay is quite simple with not so many maneuvers presented. KartRider Rush+ is more suitable for those who want to try racing games on mobile devices.
