Absolute Drift Wiki

Thanks for the fix as of last week. I have played for 7+ hours on iOS. it is clear that not only is Absolute Drift Zen Edition one of the best drifting titles on the App Store, it’s one of the greatest drifting games. ADZA has little to do with racing other than completing certain challenges within the time. Rather, it has to do with drifting. There is so much replayability. A feeling of true zen when finally accomplishing one of the numerous challenges. Polished like no other and for a minimal price. Thanks for supporting Game Center Achievements. The controls have been extremely improved, and remember, that this is a drifting game. I’m familiar with the controls because they are on both my PS4 and XB ONE. The spot on touch screen controls take time to master, but they appear to be a perfect translation from the consoles. Not tested with MFI controls. Soundtrack is brilliant. Hoping this one doesn’t go unnoticed. You can simply get “lost” in Absolute Drift Zen Edition. -Donny K

I’ve sunk a quite a few hours into this game and love to play it. If you love touge the mountain drift events are extremely fun and are a nice challenge. Now my only problem with the game has been gears not shifting up when I need them to which potentially ruins a run. Unlike the PC version you can’t manually shift which I found to be rather useful, but I understand that it would be difficult to put into a mobile version. Overall it’s a great game that’s easy to play casually and can be challenging when it’s on maximum difficulty.

Excellent game, tough at first, just like you want it, so the payoff is big when you get better at drifting, spinning, donuts, jumps. Not about speed, all about the drifts. You basically have different worlds and tracks that all have challenges to unlock the next one....spin under the awning, donut around the lamppost, jump over the building etc..... excellent minimalist/clean art style, responsive controls (I did way better with the joystick compared to the default L/R buttons. Definitely worth the $. Quality games like this need to be supported.

Loving the game, bought it the moment I saw it because I had a blast playing the pc version. Controls feel very good, however I have had a few issues that I hope can be solved in the near future (fingers crossed). 1. The ability to adjust the ui size and placement would help quite a lot. Sausage fingers make it hard to consistently hit some of the smaller buttons. 2. We need manual transmission! It would allow for greater car control as it is hard to hear what gear you are in by sound alone. It even suggests it as an on screen tip. Maybe I’m just blind and don’t see it in settings but I can’t find it anywhere. Anyways, would definitely recommend the game to others, it has some of the best physics out here and the car feel very balanced, so it is easy to 4 wheel drift.

My biggest problem in this game is that you can't drift multiple donuts in a row. It just won't even count them for you, even if the donut resets. I think this is probably a bug because it makes some goals almost impossible to achieve like 7 donuts in two minutes. I can drift seven donuts fine, but not if I have to keep exiting the circle and coming back in.

it runs incredibly smooth. controls are very precise. the milestones in each track help you become a drift king. the music is lovely and keeps you going on for more. you can easily drift. but it is difficult to master. i’m sure you will be playing this for a very long time. worth the money.

This game is great it simulates drifting really well. The one thing I wish was in the missions(not in the open world) it was a longer time or not timed especially in the tutorials. The only time you can find those courses or tracks are in the missions and you only get a minute at a time per mission. Other than that love the game.

For controller players, we need to have a manual transmission option and key binds option. Maybe I’m missing a settings option for it? And separate leaderboards for controller players vs touch. Great game, No manual option has me scratching my head tho.

A very fun game, I suggest starting out on hard setting, it may be a steeper learning curve but it’s a lot more fun without the assists, or at the very least once you get the hang of it switch to hard. Once I put it on hard I was getting scores I couldn’t even come close too on easy. The physics are pretty good, the tracks are diverse and some are quite challenging(or frustrating....lol). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt too short, and this is the perfect game for player created levels, I hope the implement that at some point, or add more “worlds”.

This game is amazing, while playing there were no bugs. Free roam is a little bit restricted but has a lot of activities. but a few things could be added like racing friends or drift competition and maybe like a career where you can earn coins and buy new cars or new colors or patterns and maybe when you participate in events which you can earn coins and maybe another special event that’s harder but you can earn more coins kinda like the night mode

The game seems OK, I’ve definitely given it a few goes to try and master the drifting, but a couple of points for me reducing my rating: - the phone gets ridiculously hot very quickly. To compensate the iPhone starts dimming the screen and slowing down the processor, so it gets very laggy. Seriously, not more than 5 minutes play before seeing issues - the controls are sluggish at best. It doesn’t feel responsive and this leads to quite a bit of frustration. I love the art style, and the concept, and the challenges. Fix the performance issues causing overheating and it would be a solid 4 Star review.

Fun game so far, but I wish there was more feedback for how fast you were going, seems like all of a sudden you can have a ton of speed and drift out of control. Speedometer or tach maybe? Playing on an iPhone X, phone gets pretty hot after playing maybe 10 minutes and severe lag sets in with it. Hope that at least that part can be fixed.

This is a pretty cool game, but it is way too buggy for a premium title. Menus don’t always work, especially the back button. Worse, menu layout is ridiculous. Want to adjust controls or car setting? You need to exit to a world, hit pause menu, select Main Menu, select controls, adjust controls, then exit all these menus. If that weren’t enough, most of the time the back button doesn’t work and I need to change languages in order to resume playing. Poor optimization makes even a iPhone X slow down and overheat. Controls are average and lack enough customization. The game has no shifting option, but tells you to enable manual shifting to improve control. Feels like a taunt. Finally with the last update all my progress was lost, including unlocked cars and access to other worlds. That just put me over the edge and I’m done with this game. A premium title shouldn’t be this buggy.

Deleted all my progress for no apparent reason, didn’t carry my progress between devices, super laggy and low frame rate on iPad Pro 9.7” and drains my iPhone X battery to a ridiculous degree (phone gets hot within minutes, then within about 20 minutes screen brightness is at a minimum and it starts lagging with low frame rate and need to force quit / wait for phone to cool down.) Want my money back or an update to address all of the above. Ridiculous that Noodlecake (one of my favorite developers until this fiasco) would put this nonsense out.
