I like this game a lot. Moved it to the second home screen page on my phone along with all the other games I go back to play constantly. Something I never did with Bike Baron although Bike Baron was also a charming game. This one just oozes all the right elements of what a freemium iOS game should be. The developers were also very smart in making sure that every aspect of your progress keeps making you continue playing without making you quit out of frustration (like most freemium games).
Some of the tracks in this game remind me a lot of Motoheroz. So much that I actually redownloaded and started playing again.
It will become apparent the further you get into the game. I was confused by his purpose at first too.
No, surprisingly not. This is my first trials game. I have played other racing side scroller games like Hill Climb Racing and the sheep one, but this is different to these. Yeah, I like the mission part of the game. I have nothing against this. Yeah, I guess the actual tracks aren't too difficult, but I have had to restart the stage several times though. I'm quite the gamer, but I think this game is great.
IMO Trials Frontier is a fun game but a poor Trials game. Bike Baron and Motoheroz are far more accurate in delivering the classic Trials experience. If you like this game, I highly recommend trying the console/PC games.
Was loving this game until I had to reinstall it and lost all my progress? It's all good though.. Only had the first two bikes unlocked. Gettin back at it now #
I haven't played Motoheroz, I could check that one out. I'll look into bike racing games on PS3, my PC isn't really for gaming. I have an iOS device for games. Unless you think my laptop is good enough for games like Trials and other steam games? I have a Advent Monza T200. Hmm, you shouldn't have to start from the beginning. When you deleted it did you select "keep data"?
I'm not sure about specs of your PC. Trials HD can run smoothly on low-end specs. Evolution and Fusion are pretty performance heavy
No iCloud saves? I was very suprised, that Trials Frontier not supported iCloud saves... I played it for two days on iPhone a now i load it on my iPad and i can start from start on... Will be in iCloud support in future updates?
I am really digging this. The freemium elements are well-tuned and addicting. Only piece I don't like is investing in upgrades for a bike that I know will be useless once I get the next one. Also: I started a thread for sharing Uplay names here so I have a few people to compare times with: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3196885#post3196885
I've been playing this, and while I still think the game is too easy at the moment, I must admit, it is extremely well balanced and fair in terms of freemium elements - You earn coins, fuel, and gems at reasonable rate - First time I ran out of fuel, it was 50 coins for a refill. You earn more than in a single race - Most timers are few seconds or around 30. That's not too bad. The long ones, I just save gems and skip. You earn germs regularly so that's not an issue - I've been playing for two hours straight, haven't run out of fuel yet. Why? Besides the fact that you earn fuel regularly, the game is balanced in that every time it looks like I'm about to run out, I rank up, which refuels and increases my total fuel. - This might change later, but races always take 5 fuel, doesn't seem to increase in fuel cost. That's pretty fair IMO So in these ways, Trials Frontier has a very fair and balanced freemium structure. It's not frustrating (yet) and in fact feels rewarding to rank up and refill your fuel.
I'm glad you added "this may change later", because it does. There are about 40 upgrades for each bike. The final upgrades cost up to 300,000 coins, over 100 hours to wait for completion, and about 400 gems to skip. Tier 2 tracks cost 7 fuel, and tier 3 cost 10 fuel. Leveling takes much longer in the future. You cannot judge a game like this based on first impressions. They wait for you to get hooked before they start to tempt you with freemium elements. Unless you're patient enough to grind, you're either going to pay or stop playing.
That's too bad. I find the actual tracks fun. I have Trials HD and Trials Evolution on my Xbox, and I agree with those pointing out that the tracks are easier and less elaborate in Frontier. However I think the difficulty of Frontier is appropriate for a mobile game. Given the less precise controls and typically shorter play sessions, I doubt I'd have liked it to be as hard as the console/PC versions. My main problems with it so far are all the fluff other than riding. I don't want to have to upgrade my bikes, or go through all the silly character interactions, and the missions are totally silly and usually don't even involve any skill, but instead mostly just depend on spinning a roulette wheel and hoping you'll get a part. And timers that are just going to get longer the farther into the game I get just makes it worse. Oh well, such is the iOS App Store. I'm sure they'll make a lot more money this way than if they'd sold the game for $5.
Anyone gotten to or has passed the level where the mission is to collect the last piece of blueprint for The Jackal for Sledge? I can't seem to beat Butch because he goes so fast on his bike and especially at the mid-point where instead of going on the circular ramp ahead, he does a backflip through the opening before that circular ramp and heads down.While I'm trying all sorts of ways to emulate him skipping that ramp. If you don't skip it, he'll definitely beat you. Someone help?
I can't beat butch too! I spent all my coins upgrading my bike. But it just doesn't seem to be as fast as butch's. What does top speed, acceleration, lean and grip mean?
Has anyone who is complaining about how easy this is gotten past the tier 1 tracks? I'm very confused by this, I am at the point that the tier 2 tracks are getting very hard and the robot swamp tracks are nigh impossible with my current bike builds. Also, those of you saying you don't want to upgrade the "old" bikes will find out that doesn't work as certain missions require certain bikes which could lead to later aggravation. I love this game and everything about it is Trials other than the "freemium" thing but this is a very generous f2p in my opinion that is well balanced to the player.
I'm not a biker so all those terms just seem like utter jargon to me too lol I've just spent all my coins upgrading too and if you can't seem to go as fast as him, then well I'm going to have to give up I played all night last night and still can't seem to beat him. I was at a point of actually deleting the game but then I came here first looking for help. If there's still no help at this point, I may have to delete it.
Hi! I'm from Finland so I've been playing this game for quite a while. Does anybody possyíbly know how you get the first tier 3 bike, the riptide? I can't seem to get the missing blueprint pieces. Also, there is a mission where I have to ride the marauder, but I don't have it yet! Any body have a solution?
It's not always the speed that wins(it helps) but you need to get your leans and landings right, if you can land a jump on the downhill you will get an obvious speed boost. Also, preload jumps to go farther and over certain obstacles can save time as well. (pull back at the beginning of a jump and push forward at liftoff). Unfortunately if this is your first "trials" game this is not explained and can leave you in the lurch. Watch some videos of trials evolution of the harder levels to see what I mean by pre loads, same premise for this.
