Crash Club Guide 

 The game is a colorful multiplayer game full of cars trying to destroy each other, drive anywhere you want, break everything and take down other drivers for points to top the leaderboard and rule the city This makes for some good, light fun, but nothing that you'll stick with for very long.Your mission in this game is to race around town in an attempt to blast as many opponents as possible without getting your own car blown to bits.

Starting out with nothing but 3 Nitro Boosters to help in making a speedy getaway, the game is started by driving around town and smashing into things in an attempt to uncover coins which can be used to buy weapons, boosters, repairs, and much more at a number of stores located around the town.If you can successfully uncover enough coins to undertake the upgrades you need without getting blown up by another player you are pretty much ready to go! Although the game may take some getting used to, once you’ve figured it out it would be almost impossible to put down if only it had less ads.Your car is also transformed into a glowing, crowned monster truck while you’re in the lead, adding a fun visual flair to the rewards package.

The goal in Crash Club is simply to get the highest score and climb the in-game leaderboards. You earn points two ways: smashing and crashing. Most of the environment you come across, except for buildings, is smashable. Trees, fences, dumpsters, traffic lights, statues, and more: if your car can run it down, it can be smashed for points. The point values of objects vary—typically by size—so knocking over a water tower will earn you a bigger bonus than clipping a few traffic cones, but the cones will be a much more frequent source of score-padding.

Coins are used to buy decorations or special abilities for your vehicles, while gems are the only way to earn new cars. Everything, from antennae toppers to vehicle powers, are unlocked in a randomized gacha without any way to buy specifically what you want.The current leader earns double points for everything they do, so those five-point trees are now worth ten points with every knock-down. It makes reaching first place and enduring the risks that come along with it.

The other way you can boost yourself up the leaderboard is by crashing other cars. While you’re driving around the breakables-cluttered city, other players will be doing the same. Matches generally consist of 20-30 cars total, so even on the surprisingly large beachside map, you’re going to run into opponents quite often.Points are most easily scored by crashing into objects like bushes, fences, water towers, picnic tables, etc. Players can also earn points by destroying other players, which is where Crash Club gets interesting.

As you play the game, you gather gems, which can unlock cars using a kind of gacha-style mechanic. The only thing is, some of the cars you can unlock are simply better than the ones you start out with. This is a problem both because it makes Crash Club's mulitplayer inherently unbalanced in favor of those who get lucky or spend money and keeps you from playing cars you may have liked the design of.You can see the damage you are doing to opponents via numerical pop-ups on their car when your projectiles hit, but you don’t see any sort of similar damage recognition on your own car. This means you really only have the faint smoking and flaming to go by to decide when you need to repair.

Crash Club's controls also avoid over-complicating things. You can steer your car by swiping anywhere on the screen, and the cars chug ahead slowly enough on their own that maneuvering through even the tightest spaces is super easy. Once you get weapons, attacking enemies involves just tapping on your target to fire away.

There are four weapons available in the game—the Peashooter, Blaster, Zap Cannon, and Rockets—and each has a different ammo count and does a unique amount of damage. There is one other option for players seeking to escape a jam: scattered about the map are Stop-N-Go body shops that can be entered as long as you have a Token available. Tokens are dropped randomly from smashed terrain, so as long as you’ve been running over stuff you’ll probably have at least one on hand.

Its weapons and upgrades provide a unique sense of in-game progress, but its auto-lock projectiles that fire through walls detract from the sense of carefully maneuvered kills or skillful driving. Its vehicles come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and decorations, but they all drive essentially the same. Matches are easy to find and play mostly lag-free despite containing up to 30 players at one time, but there is no offline or single-player mode for practice or data-less games. The map is a beautiful San Francisco-esque cityscape with a variety of locations and playful Land Sliders Easter eggs scattered about, but it’s the only map in the game and it never changes.

Crash Club is packed to the brim with different paint colors, antennae toppers, decals, and vehicle variations. You’ll essentially never see the exact same car twice thanks to all the slight differences.Collectibles fans will have a field day filling out their garage with every customization option, although you can only store five different vehicles at a time before needing to sell one off.

Purchasing health regeneration, armor, and visibility upgrades from the Stop-N-Go makes your car that much stronger for the duration of the current match and provides another reward for simply staying alive. This feature likely contributes to the extended duration of matches.All of the progressive items are designed to help you survive longer but we could see future updates balancing this with purchasable offensive upgrades.
