I remember when I could just play the game and not have to worry about ads all the time and I wasn’t bombarded by pop up’s so if y’all could just go back to how Asphalt 8 was, I’d be happy.

LISTEN TO US
Ok in all seriousness, I get asphalt legends is out and yall want us to play too. But you’ve rendered the game completely pay to win, it’s not fun. Yes you absolutely should get paid, but remember at the end of the day to try to nickel and dime us just to PROGRESS…really unfair guys like the game used to be fun to at least grind but you can’t even do THAT now because y’all keep changing the upgrade system to stuff so complicated the game has become unplayable. As developers you guys should be ashamed and humiliated this is a farce of a game and a mere faded shadow of what it once was. Greed has rendered you guys…sad and pathetic. Do better. Improve the game, go back to the old days and drop the incessant ads, everyone is broke stop begging for our cards, we can’t afford it hence why we downloaded a free game. Connect the dots guys.

Cheaters paradise
This game used to be great but it has been so overrun by cheaters. No longer can you get a fair race. Zero stars!

how does one make the MAIN CURRENCY IRRELEVANT
credits suck now and the weird blue and purple coins are for some reason more important. My personal solution was Asphalt 8+ on Apple Arcade, since it’s not based on stupid barely obtainable currencies. There’s less cars but way more of a chance to get them. Also it’s genuinely fun to grind it.

Ruined
Downloaded after years. Y'all have totally changed and ruined Asphalt 8
★★★★ Smi1Face 5/26/2026 v8.9.0
Ads.
I came across this game three weeks ago and I wanted to relive my childhood memories of playing it
It was the WORST experience ever
The game is bombed by ads
You cannot play it without either paying or watching endless ads
Even when you are playing you get a small little box on right with an ad in it and it is frustrating
The greed of this company disgusts me
I cannot emphasise on how disappointed I am
★★★★ Rapdisorder 5/24/2026 v8.9.0
Too many ads
There are way too many ads in this game, which is making me lose interest and I play this game since 10 years. I would really request you guys to make it at free or just give me a subscription on it on the house. Thank you.
★★★★ Reality matters for everyone 5/18/2026 v8.9.0
Too much pay to win
Asphalt 8 stop overcharging the price and turn back to normal without paying real currency

Mr
Game loads TOO SLOW around ads,sometimes it won’t give rewards after watching an ad ,and it has gotten too expensive to play. Regular players can’t get the faster cars as all you want is MONEY

Not gut
I want to play games to earn gold coins like in the old days. Now you have to deposit money to play.

Destroyed their own game
I used to play this game years ago and really enjoyed. Now it seems like there’s an add every few minutes, and everything else is just pay to play. I have zero ability to actually enjoy the game because half of it is just money grabbing disruptions. Miss the days when it was just “watch a 30 second add to double your earnings” after a race.

Trash
This game only makes us to use tokens instead of credits just for cars and motorcycles 😭✌️

Ads ruined
This game used to be a blast, unavoidable ads ruined it now. Nothing will get me off a game quicker than constant ads. Bring back old Asphalt

Advertisement scam
Just downloaded this game after years of not playing, not only did I lose all my cars and progress but the game now has advertisements.
Issues is not starting over, it’s the advertising to get more coin, they don’t credit your account. Multiple times now I go through an entire advertisement and it takes me to the same screen to watch another with no way out to gain my coins.
Fix the scam, I am deleting again maybe you will fix your game before I come back. I would rather not have advertising and pay a few bucks a year.

So many ads
Want to look at settings? Here’s an ad. Want coins? Ad. Done with a race? How about an ad? More coins, I bet an ad sounds nice.
It’s a fun game to play. I redownloaded it after playing years ago. Got through one race and had 7 ads or offers of ads. I just deleted it.

App crashes often
The app crashes often at different points of a race. It crashes right after you press the button to race, or as it gets ready to start the race, if you wreck, or right before you pass the finish line. I’d like to report it in the customer care screen but that crashes every time you try to type something into it.
★★★★★ FrickBrawlStars77 4/5/2026 v8.8.1
Bring back the old version
Still fun but there are too many ads and every car costs tokens that you can only get with real money which takes the fun out of the game. I miss the olden days.

Whenever your in a race it always puts you in the back of the line.
