User Reviews for Golf Rival

Don’t spend, don’t move up, enjoy 15min/day

Like w most golf games, and many others, people naturally want to move up as fast as possible. U will move up too fast and in this game especially it means ur done. Been playing 2 yrs and keeping it under the 11 th level. U want to get the right clubs to win most Areanas, get a lot of free coins, upgrade clubs , same w tourneys at lowest level and u will have a blast. I probably won’t have the clubs to compete any higher for another year. U can accumulate free balls and have fun. This game is not about skill. 3 rings is all u need to know about wind adjustment and most don’t know it. Later in higher levels most use 0 wind balls. U can buy balls that completely take away any skill. If u spend a lot and move up high, u do have to memorize how each hole is played aka where the ball can bounce over different obstacles and which balls to use before u get in range. No elevation, no distance, no curl on the ball, no wind angle change or flicker etc etc it’s baby simple but u have to spend A LOT to complete vs non skilled players at high levels. Clubs decrease wind , meter speed, and even eliminate penalty if u land in sand or rough etc…so don’t be a dummy, google the wind calculations, don’t move up util u win every area with no competition ever

DONT SPEND MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

Please , keep your money and spend it on a game that will at least not cheat you, don’t know which one that might be because there all crooks but this game has made up bots that are just tossed in the game. I was in the Global 50 that means the top 50 players in the world. I was 45th my friend that plays was in 36th another friend in 22nd and the guy I first new at this game was in 11th position. I went from 45th down to 50 in 1 Day the developer had made the game impossible to win at because he added a new level that everyone could not lose a game for a day are two that had a glitch. The next day people were logging on and couldn’t even win 1 single game the whole day and night. Then we started to notice players who were never in the top 50 just automatically appeared in the game. WADE if you are a real person then I’ll eat my words but this guy comes along out of nowhere starts at 49th day 1. Day 2 he’s at 38th day 3 30th, day 4 22nd, day 5 17th by this time I knew something was up then he passes my friend that was in the 11th spot so I messaged the developer and they have said nothing. This is what you deal with once you get to a certain point of the game and can’t win any more are if you get a higher level and get shut down by the developer

Review

This game is addictive, unfortunately it does set you up to pay allot of money to succeed, the chest are junk gives you mostly club upgrades on clubs no one uses, and very little towards the popular ones, you keep wasting gems to open them and no pay off , even my helm club has maxed out yet I keep getting cards for it, also they set up the arena on some holes to be out reach on your top clubs, they change the wind so it’s towards you and hole can’t be reached or you reach on your 1st shot perfectly then your second shot is set up with an out of reach wind wasting hearts, , the kingdom is also set up for failure making shots impossible to make or you set up a shot perfectly the guide line shows no red and no obstacles in your way then you hit a branch or blade of grass that wasn’t in your shot set-up, if you can’t count on the guideline than what good is, I’ve written them several times with no response, but they’ve made the game frustrating, then there’s level 13 witch I don’t even like playing, too many billboards, they’ve taken golf right out of the game with that level more like a pinball game not golf, so I basically do the arena and tournaments, level 13 is awful!!! They definitely cheat you out of money with this gamStill getting cards on my helm club , it’s maxed out with no upgrade available, why am I still wasting cards on this

Fun at first but then you gotta pay to win

Game starts out fun but to be able to compete with others in your rank you can’t win due to their clubs being way better. I’m at level 12 and every round I play is against some one with clubs so much better than mine it really makes no sense why they would still be on this level. So I ponied up $50 to buy more gems so I could open more chests but unfortunately it’s a scam because all the clubs you get are junk and not the good clubs you need. I believe mot of these players with the massive advantages are actually bots and not real people. Feel pretty ripped off at this point but I’m the dope who got suckered into spending money.Update: after a couple more weeks of play, I have not played a match with a single player with clubs that are not far better than mine. I mean my clubs are at a level 4 and my supposedly matched opponent will have the same club at a level 7 or 8. The only way I can win is if they make a grave error. A draw will always give them an even larger unfair advantage than the one I already overcame just to get to a draw. I’ve managed to reach several hundred points into level 15 to only get beaten so many games in a row I will wind up under the 15,000 point range and go back to level 14. No matter how many chests I open I can’t get cards for the clubs I need to win unless I pay for them. So I say again, do NOT spend money on this game.

Frustrating algorithms (Rigged)

The game is not made to be fun and fair. It’s made to keep you on their app as long as possible, which is understood from a business perspective, but as a consumer I’m frustrated at the lack of fairness and integrity. They put you up against a “guest” so most of the time you are going against their computer. They give you just enough taste of winning so you can see yourself moving up in the game which means unlocking more clubs and courses. You are well on your way to getting the next course when they start sending computer opponents your way who have clubs that you cannot compete with and their strike accuracy is on point every time. This makes you frustrated to the point where you quit or are forced to make purchases with the hope of gaining a club/upgrade to legitimately compete. Another thing they should revisit is having the wind be the same for each player on any given shot so I’m not shooting at 9mph wind and they get 6mph. Feeling like you’re playing a game that is rigged and makes you pay to play feels like you’re being manipulated and deceived. Aside from the moral compass of the design, it could definitely allow you to play more interactively with friends and for more than one hole. But there’s no money in that. Be sure not to fall into a trap by making in-game purchases.

This game is the worst…

Let me start off by saying I make games for a living. This game is a poor poor poor copy and clone of Golf Clash. The two biggest problems I have with this knockoff are at the core of the course design. As you start to work your way up the tiers you get to increasing more gimmicky holes which in and of themselves are not an issue. The issue is there is little room for risk reward shot making. Execute a risky shot well doesn’t put you in a better position to score. Play safe and lay back also doesn’t put you in a better position to score. So basically all players just bomb into the same “rough” or sand trap and eventually on to the fairway (although sometimes playing entirely in the rough is the best approach) and eventually into a shootout. Landing in the fairway doesn’t mean your second shot has a better chance of making it on to the greens in regulation. Who designed these holes any way? Using limited content, like special balls, doesn’t necessarily help either so it’s not even p2w. And then there is the shootout where I have won a lot of times because I was within 50-60 yards of the flag on a par 3. In what world does this even make any sense? Having inaccessible flags on obstructed tee shots is no way to prove who is the better shotmaker. It puts most everything into the hands of RNJesus. And that my friends is no fun whatsoever. You want winning and losing to come down to execution and thoughtfulness and not a dice roll.

Best Golf Game

If you are trying to decide between this game and Golf Clash, pick this one! The only edge I would give Golf Clash over Golf Rival is that Golf Clash does a better job of giving a wide variety of different tournament events and locations, while Golf Rival’s tournament is largely the same every time. But from a pure gameplay mechanic and technical standpoint, Golf Rival is the better game. The wind mechanic, spin, and different special balls all make much more sense in this game and it is far less often that you feel cheated. The different clubs and upgrades are much more straight forward and unless your opponents clubs are several levels over yours, you can still win if you judge wind properly and execute perfect shots. The shot meter is much better as well. And while Golf Rival offers much the same in-app purchases as Golf Clash does, you never get the feeling that you have to buy things to be successful. In Golf Clash you could be on a long losing streak, getting robbed left and right. Then you spend a little money and everything goes your way for a while. You never get that in Golf Rival. It is CONSISTENT. Golf Clash is all over the place and very unreliable when it comes to consistency. Choose Golf Rival!

A Fun Golfing Challenge

I was playing another game and an ad for Golf Rival came up. I watched the ad and became curious. I continued my other game for about another week and the same ad reappeared so I decided to jump to it and install it. It totally sucked me in. I played day and night, 7 days a week, for 6 weeks. As I climbed stages, I was learning the wind charts and clubs. Occasionally a fully outfitted player would compete with me and crush me. I enjoyed it to the fullest as I wanted those awesome clubs and the technique to use them, a great learning experience. As with other Golf games, you can Pay to advance, but you don’t have to pay. It can take quite a long time to grab enough Legendary clubs to compete, unless you let go of your cash. But let me tell you, golf is expensive in real life. There are bad apples that emoji bomb you as you line up your shots, but there is a MUTE button to silence them. The developers put the option of being a jerk to your opponent just like real life. But the large majority of players are courteous and well wishing. This is a very good, fun, challenging, and engaging game. Golf Rival has EARNED a place on my phone. Install it if you know the game of golf, or if your are a novice. Either way I know you will enjoy it!

Decent and Fun

The competitiveness does need to shift is the reason I give it a 3. 1. Not right to be placing someone who has been playing thousands more games than you because hmm obviously they have clubs that are supposed to be far upgraded than yours. (I see this probably significantly when you move to next stages.)2. This is a two parter, people who pay for stuff and game modes. I see someone who has 100 kangaroo balls like 120 black balls, upgraded Bat Wings to like level 5-6 so on it’s like ok your already driving the ball an extra 100+ yards than me great it’s a waste of time. Also really hurts in the Draws it’s like hmm I have maybe 3 balls of each, this person has all these upgrades on my same stage level I don’t stand a chance besides to get lucky they miss fire!!! So I say make a stage mode or some sort of feature that levels it out to just skill. Nobody should have x30 more balls than you, nobody should have a Bat Wing level 2 and facing someone at level 6 and so on with the other clubs. Put those players using some algorithm facing one another so it gives the playing field a little more even. For instance I love the concept when finding opponent you can adjust your setting “No special balls” “Clubs within one ranking up any legendary or free game for all the base level clubs etc” if that means you lower the ranking trophy boost from 60 down to 30 or whatever so be it but at least the game is more fair and gives you a chance against equal level opponents.

Fun until…

Played this game for hours on end. Good graphics, goodies, playing people online and figuring out how to communicate with them via limited phrases and emojis…was very entertaining and competitive…then…Stage 13 (appropriately)…sure, people will spend money to gain advantages here and there, as expected…but at this stage it’s almost required to advance. Unless you want to drain hundreds of hours into it, there’s no real alternative as by that point you’ll often be playing against “people” who somehow lucked into or paid their way to be dominant…also, at this stage, the wind speed and guides seem to have a mind of their own as things one would have trained in time and time again seem to be lost in producing an accurate play. Just kind of disappointing that the game puts you down a path of new experiences opened, then proceeds to essentially cap it with outrageous expectations from their players…I’m a gamer so I like being rewarded for hours put in, if you’re fine with recycling earlier levels with no enticing reward and just trying to kill time I suppose you won’t mind as much as I did….…side note, if you heard about the game from IG like I did, the promos/ads they put out are for whatever reason NOTHING like the actual game, gotta love marketing, right?
