Asphalt Overdrive is a 2014 endless running racing video game published by Gameloft and developed by their Madrid studio. The eleventh major game of Asphalt series.[1] After a showcase in June 2014 at the E3 event, it was released in September 24, 2014 for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, Windows 8.1.[1][2] The game is officially retired and no longer supported.
Overdrive marks a departure from previous games in the series, as it is an on-rails endless platformer in the vein of Temple Run and Subway Surfers, and takes place in a 1980s-style[lower-alpha 1] rendition of Southern California.[3]
Gameplay
As stated earlier, Asphalt Overdrive is presented as an endless runner, and does not offer a traditional racing mode. Like in previous games, cars accelerate automatically, but are limited to a fixed, endless path with three lanes. Performing stunts and ramming civilian vehicles builds up the nitrous meter, to which the player can use in evading police vehicles.[4]

Notes
- ↑ While the game is presented as having a 1980s aesthetic, Asphalt Overdrive takes place in the present day as evidenced with most of the vehicles used.
