"A party worth krashing?
Kart Krashers has a plan to shake up the kart racing genre: keep the karts, erase the race. Sure, it sounds rather pointless, but stick with us. The basic idea is to drive your kart around arena-like courses, shooting for a high score by collecting stars and rings and taking out baddies. The "Krashers" in the name implies a bit more chaos than is actually going on here — replace it with "Kollectors" and you might be closer to the mark — but however you'd describe it, Kart Krashers is a fun and refreshingly unique take on the kart-driving formula.", writes NintendoLife.
SuperPhillip Central writes, "Last Thursday I kicked off reviews for the month of October with a look at Kart Krashers, a DSiWare title by Big John Games. Speaking of which, I recently had the chance to speak with Ken Patterson, the founder of the studio. We talked about their latest game in Kart Krashers, Nintendo's game acceptance policy (how easy or hard it is to get a game accepted on their marketplace), how a developer receives a Wii U developer kit, and so much more."
The kart genre is no stranger to zany and colorful games. When you think of games with karts, you most likely think of races around wacky circuits a la Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing. The newest effort by Big John Games forgoes such a formula and creates its own unique DSiWare entry with Kart Krashers. With a price tag of five bucks, is Kart Krashers a party worth "krashing?"
DHGF: Kart Krashers is a nice addition to the driving genre. It has a plot that doesn’t get in the way of the game, keeps things interesting, and explains the differences between stages, the characters, events, and stages are well designed, and the game does get more difficult as time goes on. There are a few issues with control/gameplay and, on occasion, balance, but for the most part Kart Krashers succeeds as an affordable title that will offer up a nice distraction from day-to-day activities and make you want more. Pick this game up, as it’s only five dollars, and it’ll give you at least three hours of playtime, especially if you’re someone who likes to earn achievements.
