at last, the journey to tackling every single game mode ends.

What is Knockdown mode?
knockdown mode is a race between 2 racers to see who can knockdown the most cars. whoever gets the most knockdowns once the timer gets to zero or whoever gets the target number of knockdowns through the time limit wins. in R&Ds and EDDs, you're given 2 minutes, in career mode, you're given 3 minutes and in quick solo race, you're given 5 minutes. if the race ends in a tie, however, it goes to sudden death. and no, it's not like sudden death of "Super Smash Bros.".

Sudden death.
if both racers end up in a tie, the race goes through sudden death. whoever gets the last knockdown first wins.

now let's get to the positives and negatives.

Positive #1: simple and challenging at the same time.
that means it's very simple for all players, no matter what level of skill they have. in Asphalt Extreme, knockdown mode is more challenging than knockdown mode in Asphalt 8, because in Asphalt Extreme, knockdowns are like a game of rock-paper-scizors.

Positive #2: huge variety of knockdowns.
there are many ways to knock down your opponents. let me list them: using Newton's third law of motion to your advantage, sandwich, drifting, the well-known "death from above", even when doing flat spins or barrel rolls. trolling won't work, however, because you have to be fast.

now it's time to get to the negatives.

negative: sometimes you have to slow down for knocking down you enemies.
if you thought knocking down anything that gets in your way is easy, you're wrong. sometimes, you might be too fast and you might overtake the other cars instead of knocking them down. then you'd have to use the brakes to get them more easily. sometimes, they might even dodge your attacks. it's just as bad as overtaking them.

Tip.
make sure you knock down your opponent as the first knockdown of the race.

Conclusion.
despite being simple, knockdown mode is fun and challenging at the same time.

and that ends our journey into the game modes of Asphalt 8. coming soon: History of D class kings. it will take a lot of time and research, but it will be totally worth it.

until next time.
