Relive an iconic PlayStation adventure on your Android device with Crash Bandicoot: On the Run.

A Fresh Spin on an Old Favorite

Experience Crash Bandicoot on your mobile with this new saga. Familiar faces Crash & Coco return to thwart the nefarious Dr. Neo Cortex, who has sent his mutagen minions throughout the multiverse to conquer all dimensions. It's up to Crash and Coco to defeat these henchmen and send them back to where they belong. Battle through the iconic landscapes of Wumpa Island, armed with an array of weapons to take down your foes.

Run, Slide, and Spin Your Way to Victory

Crash Bandicoot: On the Run features gameplay mechanics akin to popular endless runner games. Control Crash's movements as he traverses various tracks by swiping up and down to jump and slide, dodging obstacles in his path. Swipe left and right to change lanes and collect fruits or boosters. Use Crash's signature spin attack by tapping the screen, taking out any enemies that stand in your way.

Iconic Locations and Base-Building

Play in familiar locales such as Turtle Woods, Lost City, and Temple Ruins, complete with hidden paths to discover. The game also introduces a base-building mechanic, allowing players to collect items and expand Coco Bandicoot’s base. Over time, players can unlock crucial buildings to manufacture weapons, including serums, bombs, and rayguns for their arsenals.

Classic Gameplay, Modern Flaws

While the game retains the charm and gameplay of the original Crash Bandicoot games, it is noticeably simplified. However, the mobile version is not without its issues. Players have reported instances of falling indefinitely without experiencing death during running sequences. There are also reports of unresponsive controls, with Crash failing to respond regardless of swiping or tapping the screen to execute the spin attack. Also, there are concerns about the graphics affecting the response time of player inputs.

Simple Fun with Room for Improvement

Like other running games, Crash Bandicoot: On the Run offers straightforward and addictive gameplay. The game mechanics are easy to grasp, allowing players to dive right into the action. However, the challenging controls and various bugs might detract from the overall experience, especially for those seeking a casual gaming experience.
