Your weapons are divided into four categories, each representing one of the four seasons, and on-track fruit collectibles allow you to fill up a corresponding gauge of your choosing. If you need an attack that fires in front of you, you can grab all the fruit that will fill up that juice tank; if you need something that can defend from incoming attacks, you simply fill up a different weapon gauge instead.
Visual textures tend to be quite fuzzy, particularly when in the distance, and certain scenery elements suddenly pop into a higher level of detail as you approach them. Playing the game in handheld mode seems to highlight these issues slightly more than playing with the console docked, although the game never quite looks as good as its creativity and funky car models deserve.
OK, the weapon system with the different gauges sounds interesting. Adds a bit of strategy to kart racing.
Hopefully the dev earns enough from this to produce a sequel with those ideas refined and a better art direction (those human characters look awful, could use something like fruit-based Inklings or something).
@SmaggTheSmug Keep in mind that the other versions of this game look a million times better. The Switch version is, by far, the worst version by the look of it. Try reading some PS4 or PC reviews if you can, they should give you a better view of the game.
Wasn't this going to be released late in August? It seems that the game is supposed to be cute but it looks so creepy to me, look at all those creepy eyes (screenshot with a landscape with rocks and mountains, although they keep on changing the screenshots order, and the dinosaur on the game cover).
@amyr0se I am not looking to buying it anyway, especially not on Switch... I feel like the dev wasted money by porting the game to it, but who knows. Other indies sell like hot cakes on the platform. Then again other indies don't compete with Mario Kart.
Where are the proper screenshots? First Moto GP, now All star Fruit Racing, both being reviewed while only showing smooth promo pictures. You write about the weapon fruit gauges, I would have loved to see them! :/
@Mr_Horizon I agree, if this is a review of a Switch title they should feature screenshots of real gameplay on Switch, these screenshots are official promotional ones and obviously in higher resolution. Besides, none of them is an in-race screenshot with a view that you would see while racing.
it didnt look that great before the review so im not that surprised at the score. this is very expensive for a game that looks average, it doesnt tlook that disimilar to beach buggy racing and thats currently only 3.99!
@Supadav03 It depends. Many people on NL have said that they prefer Diddy Kong Racing, Crash Team Racing or Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed over any Mario Kart game. And then you have games like this... You can't put them into the same bunch.
Sorry but kart racers are just the most boring approach to racing games IMO. It works well in Mario Kart, but I really don't care for them elsewhere, and they really get over-saturated very quickly, especially considering the lack of real driving games on the Switch.
Dang. I was hoping for something more akin to Diddy Kong Racing, but I guess this ain't it. I guess I'll wait patiently whilst still playing MK8, and wishing that they had a better/fairer weapon select system (the weapon system in Fruit Racing is intriguing, but if you launch a game with technical issues and no online until a later date, then I'm out - I'm a gamer, not a beta-tester)
The cars themselves, even with a few limited customization abilities might not be so impressive. They got the fundamentals and the idea with blending fruit into kart racing, and I truly missed the opportunity to be more creative in the garage.
As said, I played this game on PC. I used an Xbox One controller during my playthrough, as I found it much easier to play it that way. The controls are very easy to learn, and the schematics feel natural. The challenge here is to master the controls, and that might be a bit difficult as the handling in the game is a bit clunky.
7/10
I decided to take a chance on PQube's All Star Fruit Racing for a couple of reasons. Number one, indie games seem to be doing a lot better lately than they used to; and number two, the PlayStation 4 has been in need of a decent kart racing game. So, what could go wrong with giving it a shot, right?
Boy, was I too optimistic. Everything that can go wrong with Fruit Racing pretty much does, save for some visual polish here and there. The game never just really ripens up enough to find its appeal; as a result, it can't even get to the point where it's just an average racer. Everything here feels like it's been poorly conceived. And even if you do get past some of the hang-ups, there's the general design of the game, which is almost to the point of nausea.
The All Star racers in question here aren't all stars at all, but rather general racers assigned the task of racing through a fruit-based world using a number of cars inspired by, well, more fruit. That's really the theme of the game, but the title kind of throws you off. You expect some kind of actual all star to show up, right? Like at least the Chiquita banana or something. Nope.
Once you get past that, you get the game's visuals. On the one hand, they're bright and colorful, with decor that fits in with the somewhat oversaccharined world. But on the other, there's the incredibly long load time. You'll actually be waiting nearly a minute to start each race, and even once you get into it, there's a countdown that lengthens the time even further.
Then there's All Star Fruit Racing's track design, which is heavily flawed. Most of the time, the tracks aren't wide enough to really get anything done; and there's also a noticeable lack of imagination. Whereas Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was going for DaVinci, All Star Fruit Racing seems to aspire for "drunken lunatic with finger paints." It just never clicks.
Oh, and turn off the audio when you race. Not only will the lacking music drill its way into your head, but the character voices do nothing to help you like your racers. In fact, you'd probably hear better chatter from a group of folks putting on an amateur Dungeons & Dragons musical. We'd rather see that than listen to these folks ever again. Plus, that announcer doesn't sound excited at all. He sounds like he's covering a shoe-tying competition in Hoboken. (Apologies to those that actually compete in versus-based shoe tying.)
Speaking of never clicking, the power-up system in this game fails on almost every level. Even if you do manage to collect enough fruits to activate certain things, you have to click in the right analog stick to activate them -- an odd design choice to say the least. And half the time they don't even hit. For once, I was looking for something with the dependability of Mario's spiked shell. Didn't get it.
And the gameplay, while serviceable, is also uninspired. The drift system, shamelessly "borrowed" from Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, feels like it's all over the place; and the steering, while acceptable, doesn't offer any new tricks over time. Even Mario Kart had variations of vehicles to choose from. This just gives you the same ol' ride, time after time.
The game's AI is also all over the place; a pushover at times, but then drastically smarter than it should be. As a result, the game feels like a drag in single player. You could rope some friends into the game via local multiplayer, but why would you play this instead of something more established? All Star Fruit Racing isn't exactly the game you'd pull out to impress people. It's better reserved for when you're trying to get people to leave.
