Just like
Mario Kart Tour
or
Garfield Kart
, Beach Buggy Racing takes on a more casual and playful approach to racing. It focuses more on providing players with a
fun and wacky
experience that they can enjoy with friends and family. It even has support for
third-party gamepads
for better control.
Tropical paradise racing
Beach Buggy Racing, as its name suggests, takes place in an island beach paradise. On it, you will be engaging in over-the-top off-road races with a
team of drivers
who each have their own
unique special powers
that give them an edge on the road.
Collect and upgrade vehicles
for your garage from monster trucks to muscle cars, and even lunar rovers.
There are
15 race tracks
to take on in this racing game. Each one of them is located across the island and features hidden shortcuts and surprise traps. What's more, you'll be able to collect
more than 25 powerups
that you can utilize during tricky situations. Some of them are the Dodgeball Frenzy, Oil Slick, Fireball, and many more to choose from and experiment with.
Aside from the aforementioned support for gamepads, this game also allows for
split-screen multiplayer
with up to four players at the same time using a compatible Android TV or through screen casting. Unfortunately, this particular feature is
locked behind a paywall,
so you have to pay just to be able to play with your friends. Also, it suffers from
frequent crashes
, which sting even more.
Pay up or go solo
In summary, Beach Buggy Racing is a decent racing game that offers good fun across its many varied race tracks and vehicles. However, the fact that you need to pay to have access to its multiplayer feature will put off a lot of players. Not to mention the frequent crashes it experiences. If you like these types of games, there are
better options out there
