Is not multiplayer false info
I loved playing this game on my Xbox so I got really excited that I could purchase this game on my iPhone to play on the game anywhere any time. It also said that it is a multiplayer game so I got even more excited that I could play this game with friends anywhere. But to my surprise multiplayer does not work at all. I guess I should have read the reviews before purchasing this game so Iam super disappointed. Iam not one to really write reviews but in this case I thought I should so someone else doesn’t waste there time and end up disappointed but other than that still a fun game to play just gets boring playing by yourself after awhile. I really do hope they fix that feature on the game!
Absolute joke!!!
I bought this game for my 5 year old son so he could play while he was doing chemotherapy for brain cancer and it downloaded on his iPad forever ago with no problem. I’m trying to download it on my iPad now because his broke and it will not download.
“On Demand Resource Error” code is all that keeps popping up after waiting several HOURS for it to download. I’m extremely angry. I am unable to work because of taking care of my disabled son so my money is extremely limited. I paid the money for this game and wish I hadn’t. Don’t waste your money or time for this! Because it would seem I’m not the only one that is having this issue!!!!

Can’t run Spotify in background
The app will not let you listen to podcast or music. There is almost no audio element to this game just engine sounds. This is the dumbest feature possible and needs fixed imo
It won’t load
I have to download my remaining GB and it keeps not working even after deleting all of my apps
THE AI IS SO STUPID
BRO THE TITLE EXPLAINS IT ALL THEY CANT EVEN TURN
Fatal error
Fatal error
No Backbone support
Cool game but no Backbone support
Trashiest save system in a video game
Spent over 20 hours in game just for the save file to be reset all my levels gone and all my races reset
So dumb
I was scrolling in the app store to find a car crash game then I came across this game called wreck fest I got the game then it told me to install it and did but it won’t even let me play the game
Steering is terrible
The steering is absolutely terrible. No matter the adjustment, your car is going to go off the track. As far as upgrading your car, who knows? It’s difficult with no help or explanation. I expected more from a paid game. I want my money back and I’ll un-install this game. Graphics are good but that’s about it.
No online servers
No one plays this game, and no matter how many times you try finding or even creating online servers, you wont have anyone to play with unless you play with friends
Devs please read this
After I downloaded it told me to download more resources so I did, right as I get to the last download it says on demand resource error, I paid ten dollars for this the least it could do is work.
This game is bad
It does not wanna download at all
Issue
On demand resources error when i payed to play bad game
Ridiculous
This is dumb I buy the game and it tells me to update it right after the download and then it won’t even update saying retry a million times
Can’t even log on the game
It keeps failing to download additional content so I can’t even log into the game
Fix your game
All the dlc packs I got are not working anymore
It not let me play
The issue is that the game doesn’t really matter much in terms of gameplay mechanics or gameplay and it has to have some of its most important components and mechanics to be able to play with the game without being too complicated
Can it be fixed?
I bought the game and while do the 4GB download I keep getting an ondemand error
Please help
Whenever I try and download the game, after a couple of files downloading, an error pops up saying “OnDemand Rescource Error”, and whenever I try it again, it just says it again after downloading the first file. Please help
It's Not a Racing Game
Contrary to the strategically-ambiguous language in the description, the mobile version of Wreckfest DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTIPLAYER. And the single-player career is repetitive and incredibly annoying.
It is okay as long as you don't think of it as a racing game -- or one in which your input has much to do with the outcome of any "race." It's more of a semi-interactive spectacle. The AI cars don't race. They just fly around the game without any limits whatsoever and wreck.
Go slow, go fast, drive into the trees. It doesn't matter. AI decides the outcome. If you slow way down the AI will usually wreck themselves as they slow down to stay with you. There's no point at all, other than the wrecks.
It's a shame they bill it as a racing game, because it's almost immediately evident that it is anything but.

No multiplayer
No multiplayer and not a fan of the way the cars fall apart been around derbying my whole life and never seen fenders just blow off or headers fall off in the middle of a derby. Would really like them to nose up and fold instead of falling apart. Definitely a fun game just like a few updates when it comes to the damage and realistics.
I bought this game and dosent wanna work
I just bought this game and it’s definitely not cheap and I pressed play and it was downloading the stuff I need and then it says error and error and error over and over again
Glitch
New update won’t finish downloading keeps giving me an error. Very unfortunate I love the game
Game controller
I would like to use the PS backbone to play and can’t. I bought this on PS5 and now mobile.
Multiplayer failure
When trying to connect to multiplayer server we receive
"Already logged in. Retry?" and can’t get it to connect. The whole reason for purchasing this game was for that option. The game itself is cool but you definitely need to fix that bug.

Great Game! Bad saving?
I had a great experience with this game. Countless hours, just grinding for races, levels, and more cars. I bought a few in-game DLCs, too. However, I took a break from the game for around half a month, hoping my save would be kept during that period via GameCenter. My problem: I was wrong. I went back in recently, and NEARLY all of my levels were gone. Once being at a very high level, and now, level 7. I will most likely keep playing, but I’m still not happy. I checked, and most of my cars and their attachments saved, with exceptions for tuning that requires a higher level to purchase. Otherwise, still a great game.
Basic Issue
I can’t have my own music or podcast playing without the game pausing it. I never listen to in-game music when playing racing games. This ruins it for me.
No online multiplayer…
I bought this game thinking it would have online multiplayer but it doesn’t. Pretty disappointed I paid 10 bucks for it and can’t experience it fully. The game itself is almost identical to the Xbox/pc version. This needs online multiplayer to be something worth paying for. It’s 2024. Get with the program guys.
