True Skate

Get the Game

Description

True Skate is an excellent skateboarding simulator. Some important game aspects have made it an engaging experience. Every school lunch table used to be a temporary skate park at one point. For those times when you couldn’t practise your kickflips in the actual world, fingerboards were a great alternative. As it turns out, not much has changed. “The most real skateboarding game on iOS or any other platform” is the claim of True Axis, the developer of True Skate.

The game is a skateboarding simulation that has been meticulously crafted. Using an off-board swipe, either forward or backward, you propel yourself forward. Swipe the board downward to launch yourself into the air, while swipe the board left or right to kickflip or pop-shrug. In-game achievements can be earned by combining tricks and grinds. It’s possible to complete quests in which you have to “follow the leader” through a series of challenges or perform specific stunts. There are a few basic duties that you may want to avoid afterward.

Editor’s Review & How To Play

There is a distinct difference between True Skate and other skating games when it comes to its mechanics and stunts. They’re dependable and trustworthy. Missions, on the other hand, can be excruciatingly frustrating. It’s quite difficult to stay on a straight road that follows a predetermined route. Tricks are enjoyable while you’re having fun. But when you require a precise move to land you perfectly forward, you’re reminded that skateboarding in the real world is a lot more difficult. The leap swipes sometimes also fail to register, resulting in a lot of frustration while trying to pull off stunts.

If there weren’t so many other restrictions, it wouldn’t be so frustrating. One skate park is all there is. Boards cannot be customised in any way. And there’s really nothing else that makes this a game other than the points system. Open-world skating simulation. There are some wonderful aspects to this game, but the replay value is low.

Is it worth your money?

If you’re a dedicated iPhone or iPad skater looking for a fun place to practise your tricks, the $1.99 entry price isn’t too steep (the game is universal). Otherwise, this is a game that may hold your interest for a short period of time before you decide to go on to anything else.
