Online racing is the center of Asphalt Legends. Events put the player up against as many as seven opponents at once, across platforms, on tracks modeled on real locations around the world. The driving leans hard on drifting, stunts and nitro boosts rather than realism, and control can be either fully manual or handled through TouchDrive, Gameloft's assisted steering system. There are more than 250 cars from manufacturers including Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. Friends can be added to a list and invited into private lobbies, and players can join or found Clubs that compete on leaderboards for rewards. A cooperative mode casts one side as Security agents chasing down Syndicate members and the other as the outlaws trying to escape. For solo play there's a Career mode. The game is free to install, though a connection is needed for the multiplayer and Club features.
Online racing is the spine of Asphalt Legends, Gameloft's newer street racer. Events pit you against as many as seven rivals simultaneously, across platforms, on circuits based on real-world locations. The handling is pure arcade, built around drifting, stunts and nitro, and you can steer manually or let TouchDrive, Gameloft's assisted system, handle the wheel while you manage boost and lane choice.
The garage holds more than 250 cars from Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and others. Clubs compete on leaderboards for rewards, friends can be pulled into private lobbies, and a co-op mode splits players into Security agents and Syndicate outlaws. A Career mode covers solo play.
Most sessions revolve around a few online races of a couple of minutes each. You queue, land in a lobby with up to seven others, and spend the race drifting through corners, hitting ramps for airtime and timing nitro bursts. With TouchDrive on, the game steers and you tap to choose routes and fire boost, which turns it into something closer to a reaction game.
Between races you tune and collect cars, check Club standings, and maybe run a Career chapter or a Security-versus-Syndicate chase with friends. The multiplayer and Club features need a connection, so this is a game for Wi-Fi or a decent signal.
The 1M+ ratings explain a lot: this is one of the most-played racers on the store, and searches follow popularity. Beyond that, the cross-platform eight-player races are a real differentiator, as is TouchDrive for people who want the spectacle without wrestling a tilt-steering phone. The licensed car list and the Club social layer keep established players searching for it again after a break.
Expect the same glossy, high-saturation presentation as its stablemate Asphalt 8, with real-location tracks adding recognisable skylines to the five screenshots. As a racing game with Clubs, passes and a 250-car garage, the menus will be layered and busy. TouchDrive strips the in-race HUD down to route prompts and a nitro button, which makes play surprisingly uncluttered.
At 4.8 across more than a million ratings, this has the largest and most favourable sample in the batch, which strongly suggests a title that Gameloft keeps in active service. Live Clubs and cross-platform lobbies can't run without ongoing support. No version string is in the data, and only the App Store link is recorded here despite the cross-platform claim.
Eight-car online grids
Live races against seven other people are the default, not an add-on.
Assisted-steering racers
TouchDrive lets you focus on drifts and nitro without steering.
Club competitors
Joining a Club turns individual races into a shared leaderboard campaign.
Rated 12+, which is stricter than Asphalt 8's 4+. The game is free to install, and while this listing doesn't itemise purchases, a car-collecting racer with Clubs and passes will almost certainly offer them. A connection is required for multiplayer and Club features; Career mode's offline status isn't stated. Cross-platform play implies an account to link progress. Ads aren't mentioned.

Our take
If you want to race other people rather than AI, this is the one to pick from Gameloft's two listings here, and TouchDrive makes it approachable for players who find mobile steering fiddly. Choose Asphalt 8 instead if you mainly want a vast solo career. Anyone without reliable internet or who dislikes social features baked into a racer should give it a miss.
