Rovercraft 2 Race a space car Wiki

It takes time to unlock the items you need cause it’s chance based which is a bit frustrating but not a total deal breaker. It is still a great improvement from the first game. I am currently on the ice world without an icebreaker and let me tell you... certain items should be unlocked such as the icebreaker after the first mission. But I guess that’s another part of this game I love, rebuilding and trying again even if I’m on the verge of rage lol. Last thing. Cargo deliveries are a nice addition and keeps the game from being a total bust, cause when you are at a stand still you get a chance to unlock something to aid you. Thank you guys for a game worth playing and not having to pay to get anywhere!

To reiterate, this is one of the funnest games ever. It just needs more content. (Hill climb 2 is the direction this game should go) I see a lot of negative feedback about the batteries, which is why I wanted to rewrite my review. You are playing a free game guys! A game that would have cost $50-$60 back in the glory days of 2D Nintendo or PlayStation games. This game can be played through to the last level, but it will take about 3 months of playing every six hours... or you can give them some money to get through the game faster. These guys deserve every penny they get! Please support these guys and this game! I can’t wait to see more levels and more... whatever they come up with!

Amazing game. It is really fun and challenging trying to build a car around real physics. The game is friendly for free to play players because there isn’t a huge difficulty gap to advance that needs you to play pay like other “free” games, but you can always buy stuff if you want to advance faster. What I want to see in the future? Multiplayer Racing and Time Trials would be amazing additions because at the moment there is much to do besides waiting for side deliveries in order to get the pieces you need to advance in the main deliveries. Great game and I hope the devs don’t leave it behind.

Yeah, I know the 7th level on Icelli is hard. I beat it, although it took more than 40 tries and smashing tables. I love this sequel so much and I am writing this review right as my game is updating. One criticism is that there isn't much to do when you've completed all the daily tasks and are stuck on that one level. Maybe adding some sort of new system that will reward more boxes for doing different tasks? Either way, loving the game and hope this update would bring something sweet to the table.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Rovercraft series--I love the engineering challenge of building a vehicle that will go the distance. Unfortunately, however, this sequel is not as good as the original for two reasons. The first is due to the batteries. Whereas in the first game you could get pretty great batteries, this game gives you lots of crappy ones, so your vehicles end up being made almost entirely of batteries, leaving much less room for creativity. The second reason is replay value--you could always go back and play completed levels in the first game with your new/upgraded parts which made those levels fun to play again. This sequel never allows you to just go back to an earlier level in the game, and once you beat the campaign, you just get these interminably long "exploration" levels that you can never beat, and mind-numbingly boring "delivery" mini-games to try to unlock new parts. Don't get me wrong--I still play the game a lot--I just wish there were better batteries and more stuff to do after you beat the campaign.

Like others, I was excited to play this since I loved the first one. I’ve been playing for a while now, and I’m now stuck on the ice planet as I don’t have the right parts to break through ice. I’m ok with how the new parts are obtained, but I think it would be better if essential items were gifted when the new planet is unlocked. I want to keep playing, but I’m literally stuck in the campaign, and I have to wait several hours for the delivery mission cooldown, which is a little disappointing. The other mode only grants coins, which doesn’t really help me at this point because I already have more than enough saved. If there was another way to obtain new parts (without having to buy chests), I think it would greatly improve the gameplay so I’m not forced to sit around waiting to *hopefully* get the part(s) I need in the next delivery mission.

I love RoverCraft, I’ve played the first one for years! The second one is also great, but I don’t like that I have to wait for an upgrade to complete a level, I’ve been on level 8 marena for a couple weeks now because I don’t have enough battery. I’ve even tried completing it with only two tires to reduce consumption and still don’t have enough battery to make it to the next one. I would much rather be able to replay past levels to get upgrades that wasn’t awarded at the time, that would possibly help with the next levels or just be able to buy upgrades like RoverCraft 1. Overall I love the concept of the second one but it becomes very easy to get stuck on a level and not be able to progress.

This game is fun. Until you hit a wall. Whether it’s the giant ice spike on the last ice planet level or the insane distance to travel to the finish line from the last battery on the underground planet, you’ll eventually say “if I just had ____, I could keep playing.” It’s crazy I can get to a point where I just can’t do anything in the game. I have to wait until the next delivery comes around so I can hopefully come up with an ice breaker or a battery upgrade. I really enjoy the improvements the devs have made from the last game. But what happened to the challenges, the free roam that actually worked, the ability to replay levels for coins and upgrades? I want to keep playing the game! At least give us an option to watch an ad to reduce the time to the next delivery

I am SO glad RoverCraft is back again. It was by far one of my favorite apps. The sequel is just as amazing, I just think it needs a few tweaks. Parts and part upgrades are much much harder to obtain. The daily cargo thing doesn’t give many rewards, and the cooldown is multiple multiple hours. If you get stuck on a story mode mission, you have to wait for the reset on the cargo run, and then HOPE it gives you upgrade parts for something you need. If it doesn’t? Wait many long hours again and hope it does next time. I also very much miss the ability to replay levels. I reaaaally wish that would come back. Even for half or quarter of the rewards. I just want something to do other than the same story mission I’ve been stuck on for a day. Otherwise? Still a great game. The physics are nice and the gameplay is smooth. A little lag with the throttle control, but nothing major. My only complaint or suggestion would revolve around part acquisition. EDIT : new found issue. 9 times out of 10 when I watch an ad to revive at a checkpoint, I immediately die again at the checkpoint and I’m forced to the menu.

You can’t just download this and in a couple days expect to have enough cards to get through some levels. BIG TIP FOR THE ICE LEVEL- use the flag to break the ice. I managed to play the whole way through without the icebreaker. As for the level that is underground. It is nearly impossible to finish 8 without three regular batteries. This is messed up. The charge should hold up better. I have two of each battery and can not pass the 8th level in Karen’s after over 8 hours of playing this level with a good amount of skill. It’s just impossible. Also watching the ad to start from a checkpoint is often BROKEN. Please fix this. I watch an ad and expect to start from a checkpoint and once the game resumes it says “driver down”. What was the point of me watching the ad, to then see my driver dies immediately before I can move. Please fix this devs. I will not make any purchases in this game until these random loot boxes are at least 1 USD, per box. 3 USD is too high for me to gamble with. 3 items randomly for 3 USD, and I have 22 items. There is no value here. What I need is battery cards that’s it. Why not let me buy that and that only? I can’t watch videos for gems. And no more free gems to unlock with progression through XP. It feels like a cash grab honestly. And I refuse to gamble on what’s currently offered. I guess I’ll go from spending hours playing to just 3-4 times a day when the deliveries pop up. Really kind of sad.

Rovercraft 2 has a much better physics engine than rovercraft 1 making it a blast to play and along with a offer variety of parts to play around with, makes have much more depth than the original. However, the new parts system and linear level system is the major underlying problem with the game. The game starts off fine, with the game giving you an ample amount of parts to upgrade your rovers batteries and wheels, but you start slowing down once you reach the second planet until you eventually hit a level where it simply impossible to finishes as you don’t have good enough batteries to hold energy or enough power in the wheel to climb a hill etc. If this was rovercraft 1, you would just need to go back to a level you can finish to grind more coins to upgrade your parts but in rovercraft 2 you can’t go back. So what’s the only way to upgrade your parts? Deliveries. Deliveries that you wait for in real time ranging from 3-7 hours until you get a new delivery. There needs to be an easier way to get part upgrades that aren’t just a waiting game. I understand the devs want the players to buy crates for real money but it’s going to be hard to reel in new players for buy these crates when new players cant even see the bulk of the content in the game. So unless this system changes, my rating stays at a 2. I would rate it 1 but the improved mechanics in this sequel warrant acknowledgement.

Too much grinding involved. The first RoverCraft is way more fun. After playing for one day you will be stuck on a mission waiting for RNG to unlock the upgrade you need to continue progress. I still play but only cargo delivery missions to unlock upgrades. Which is one mission every 5hrs. So far it’s been a month and still waiting to upgrade my batteries to be able to progress in the game. The first game is better. In this version there is no win scenario on each planet. You just run til you are out of battery power. And each planet feels the same. No sense of accomplishment upon completing a difficult planet like in the first. You can’t even pick the planet here you want to explore. The first week of playing I thought this was a bug. It’s not. The planets are on a timer. Should of kept the same formula as the 1st game. Just add new tools/physics/locations/graphics/etc and you would’ve had a killer game. Not this paywall-grinding mess.

Another pay to win game that is purposefully designed broken to get you to spend money to play or progress. The part system is abysmal. Multiple players have complained about it and the devs don’t want it fixed. The levels get to the point where you need certain parts to progress, but cannot possibly have with the amount of parts drops given through the campaign missions. Your only options? Play delivery mode once every 5 hours and hope and pray you get the part you need or spend countless amounts of money on gems for loot boxes that may or may not have the parts you need in hopes to progress. No option to spam ads for boxes or earn upgrades in other ways. And the devs don’t care. Go through the reviews. Player after player has complained about this since the time this game has been released. Would easily be fixed by an update and they refuse. Don’t waste your time. Just delete and move on.

I enjoy this game, I really do. But some things about it really grinds my gears. The whole parts system is VERY annoying. You hardly ever get parts for what you actually need from boxes (specifically battery parts), and there's no way to get specific ones, besides parts from events. For some players it completely halts progress. And since you can only do so much every day, it's VERY tedious. Oh yeah, and the crate prices. Nobody smart enough is gonna pay that much for just ONE BOX you can sometimes get through delivery missions. Maybe three or five for that price would be acceptable. Also, some of the levels. The difficulty is pretty inconsistent (it might just be me). Some levels you can do in 1-3 tries, others will challenge you, which is good. But one in particular though, Marena 8, is straight up impossible. I've tried hundreds of times, still not getting to the end. There are multiple parts of the level that require different setups to actually get past. Like near the end of the 2nd section, where it drops, and there's an upwards slope at the bottom. Almost every time I flip over, ending my run. I just really hate this level and it makes me want to quit. But I'm not though, because I want to enjoy the rest of the game. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I don't know. Doubt anything will happen, but thanks anyway for reading.
