Great app, game is fun, completely un-challenged in the current mobile games market. Only issue : purchases rarely if ever work, consistently you will buy something and it will dissappear, or be completely unavailable even though you've purchased it. What's even worse is after you ask for a refund more then twice on things you've paid for dissapearing you can't ask again. So buyer beware, just buy the game and deal with what you get.
Reviews for True Skate
← Back to True SkateI want to love this game but a couple of things prevent it from being the great game it could be. The controls need to be refined. The system is overall simple, but it somehow doesn't play out consistently. Many missions are impossible, and the demonstration board moves in ways the player can't: fast with no pushing, jumps much farther and higher than the player can, and moves without the necessary swipes. Often tricks don't register, and a successfully executed mission still results in a fail.
I like the skateboarding feel, it feels nice, it's actually really fun to just ride and do some trucks. However, the missions, are, difficult at best. If you're not near %100 it's a fail, if you make one small mistake anywhere you'll have to retry. The missions can be so infuriating at times and I think it's because you have to get %80 to get bronze, at least make it lower so you can just get through the mission, and not waste 20 minutes hitting the restart just to not have enough time left.
The game itself is alright. The gameplay, however, is really REALLY frustrating sometimes. Pretty much most of the game consists of flicking really hard and waiting for the right time to catch the board because of the way they reward you. Not only that, but rail tricks are incredibly inconsistent, and the auto grind lock thing is really annoying and doesn't work. Worth the few bucks? If you really want and can afford this, go for it. Don't get it if you can't afford it. It isn't worth it
Honestly I love the game. It has great mechanics and fun gameplay,but I can't justify actually buying it. The base game is very small with just 1 Park and 1 board. The rest locked away by microtransactions; if this was a free game, I would totally understand. But for a game that cost actual money and still has this and ADS???? Absolutely not. The prices of just a single park is also garbage, with the average costing more than the original games price. It's a slap in the face
This skate mechanics were better in the early stages of the game. You used to be able to swipe sideways to get incredible speed so you could pull off huge gaps and insane tricks but looks like they've removed that and that was honestly 90% of the reason I played this game. I loved the ability to do insanely huge gaps and tricks but now that that's gone, the game has lost its appeal to me
Been playing for years. It has its pros and cons, but I feel that they are generally moving in the right direction. One thing I don't like is the rotation camera. It's a little glitchy and always seems to switch my stance to goofy. Instead I would prefer a toggle camera that could be locked to the rear view position, allowing bs/fs flips etc, or unlocked allowing varials and other tricks. I think that would make skating vert easier as well. Overall hands down my favorite skating game for mobile.
Best skate game that I have found for mobile. Good graphics. Gameplay is challenging but easy to improve with practice. Only catch is the price(in gamd currency, not real money) of customizing your parts, seems a little steep, especially if you don't spend hours every day playing. But, overall this is a great game. Very fun to play whether it be for 5 minutes or several hours.
Not gonna lie it is great, but It does have some limitations to the game, Like for instance. You only have one small limiting map for free even though the game costs money, Secondly, you basically cant do anything without being bored and tired of trying the same tricks over and over again just to get to an near-impossible goal. I think maybe if the game didnt have more limits than any other game than more people would play and reviews would be better. Good game overall. Happy new years.
This is quite an entertaining game, I enjoyed playing it for quite aome time. The only issue I really had was that after I completed all tricks and found all the gaps, there wasnt really anything else to do, and the game started getting really boring. I wish there were a few more free skate parks, with their own challenges to give us something to build towards. Still a fun game, just lacking some gameplay in my opinion.
I've been playing since the release. Fix your wonky ass spin button. All it does is stutter. And nollie anything hardly ever works. Mainly because you can't pop reliably. It doesn't recognize the popping motion. All of the missions were all done by sheer luck, make them realistic and doable. Also, being able to do tricks in a bowl would be cool. I dont enjoy being forced on a fixated position. I really do love the game, but there's so much that you could do to make this even better.
I've had this game for a while since I got it when it was free, (which was about a year ago I believe) I'm not going to lie it's a fun game and I find myself playing it when I'm bored. However, it is very money hungry, you get very little tokens after completeing a sequence of trick, the "30 second" timer isnt actually 30 seconds, it speeds up depending on your trick sequence with your skateboard. Which isnt that annoying. In all it was worth it to get at the time, wouldnt pay for it now though.
I've played this game for years. I love it. It's really addictive and fun. The controls and physics are the best of any skating game for mobile. One thing has never ceased to annoy me though; It's almost impossible to skate any kind of vert. Good luck trying to get airs on a quarter pipe or do something on the coping. The physics make it so that you simple fly out of the ramp every time, even when tilting your phone back. This is the one thing I wish they would fix.
The game itself is a pretty incredible feat. The physics are good, the graphics look decent, and the board wear is pretty cool. However, the game will not let me spend my bolts, in game currency, on anything. I've grinded out quite a few, so this is a big problem for me. Edit: As True Skate has failed to fix this issue, and failed to respond in any way, I absolutely can not recommend this game. I paid for the game, and it is missing a core feature.
A fantastic skateboarding game, a ton of fun to play and with lots of options. A lot of things cost money in the game, but in exchange the game also gets lots of updates and there are options to buy unlimited customization. Many people, myself included, have complained about the Android version dropping purchases. Fortunately, it was announced that a week from now an update for the bug will be out. I look forward to the fix!
I used to play this game on my iPod touch, back when those were popular years ago. I don't remember this game having such an absurd amount of features locked behind a pay wall. Almost everything in the game must be purchased with real USD, it's ridiculous. Why not charge $4.99 - $6.99 for the game and make all of the levels unlockable through challenges/missions? The game is really fun, I just can't rate it well when I only have access to 10% of the game that I paid for! Not happy overall.
For $1.99 you get access to the game & a single small map. It's a fun & decently made game, but here's the thing. They offer a number of add-on maps that cost an ABSURD amount of in-game coins to unlock. Each map costs 200,000 coins. BUT, these sleazeballs force you to buy either 150k coins for $30 or 400k for $50. So, just unlocking a second map after buying the game will set you back $50!!! The greed of these developers is so outrageous that I'm at a loss for words.
I absolutely love this game, it's super intuitive and fun, the one gripe that makes me not give it 5 stars is the coin prices on the new parks, they make it feel like boring grinding rather than having fun, I think a more understandable price would be 50k or so 200k just takes way too long. or maybe make it so you get money easier, but yeah, that's my only problem, otherwise the game is perfect
It's alright, but it's easy to get bored of. I will admit, the physics in this game are well done, but sometimes the tricks it says you do are inaccurate. I also find that getting coins in this game is difficult, and it takes several months of gameplay just to get another skatepark (if you don't money). A skatepark costs 200k coins and from a good line you get about 200 coins (30 seconds). Update: physics is now slightly different, and they also made it easier to get coins. changing from 3 to 4
fun game the only thing I really don't like is when you buy a deck or anything with in game money, you have it but until its not equipped and then you try to equip it again and then instead of getting it you have to use another 20,000 game credits. one other thing is that the maps are 200,000 credits so you are pretty much limited to one map.
