Asphalt Xtreme is a racing video game, published and developed by Gameloft and the second spinoff in the Asphalt series. The first off-road racing iteration in the series, it was released on October 27, 2016.
The game is rumoured to have the same physics engine as Asphalt 8: Airborne and Asphalt Nitro. Asphalt Xtreme is an off-road racing game in the Asphalt series. In the Asphalt 8 update, in Rio, appears a billboard with a poster of Asphalt Xtreme.
The video game features a lineup of rally cars, monster trucks and a vast amount of snowy tracks and dirt. The visual interface, angular camera view and vehicular design of the game have a strong visual resemblance to the MotorStorm video game series.
While the controls are the same as the previous Asphalt games, the nitro mechanics are different. Normally, there are three nitro "Segments", and using Extra nitro booster, the number of segments are increased to four. Perfect nitro is renamed as long nitro. Triple nitro activates all three or four bars at the same time for added speed. When the race starts, the vehicles are given 2 nitro segments. Different types of vehicles acquire boost at different rates based on certain playstyles. Lightweight vehichles like Buggies gain large amounts of nitro from performing airborne stunts while SUVs perform drifts to maintain their boost.
The vehicle gameplay mechanics also have an effect on the game, a buggy or rally car is in general aerodynamic and will pull off stunts easy while heavier vehicles like trucks and SUVs cannot perform the same task and will also gain less boost as a result.
Infected mode has been carried over from Asphalt 8, abeit with several changes. Compared to Asphalt 8, there are more ways to get infected in Asphalt Xtreme, but infected players start out with less infected time. Players are now able to extend their infected time by performing ariel stunts and drifting. Also, when the infected timer runs out, players do not wreck as with Asphalt 8, but rather lose their Infected state and gain a full tank of Nitro.
There are thirty-five licensed cars available initially in Asphalt Xtreme. The cars are divided into five classes and seven categories, and their performance is determined by the Rank rating feature, carried over from Asphalt 8. These cars include the Predator X-18 Intimidator (Buggy; Class D), the Land Rover Defender (SUV; Class D), the Volkswagen Polo R (Rally Car; Class C), the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (Pickup; Class C), the Chevrolet 3100 Pickup (Monster Truck; Class B), the MAN TGX D38 (Truck; Class A), and the Dodge Challenger SRT8 (Muscle Car; Class S).
