Kiteboard Hero in IOS

‘Real-feel’ kitesurfing!

79/100

Kiteboard Hero brings the niche sport of kiteboarding to mobile with surprising depth. It captures the tension between the wind and the board perfectly. The learning curve is steep—learning to 'park' the kite while building speed on the board takes genuine practice—but once you land your first handle-pass or mega-loop, it’s exhilarating.

The graphics are clean and do a great job of conveying the sense of spray and wind. While the career mode is a bit short, the freestyle mode offers plenty of room for high-score chasing. It's a great pick for anyone looking for an alternative to traditional skate or surf games.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I’ve never set foot on a kiteboard, and after playing this, I’m not sure I ever will—it looks exhausting. Kiteboard Hero is for the purists. It doesn't hold your hand; you have to genuinely learn how to work with the wind. The kite controls are surprisingly deep, and if you don't respect the physics, you'll spend more time face-planting in the water than catching air.

It’s a bit rough around the edges—the character models look like they’re from the early 2010s—but the water and wind physics are where the budget clearly went. It’s a very dry experience for a casual gamer, but if you’re a fan of the sport, this is probably the most accurate representation you’ll find on a phone. It’s a focused, disciplined sim that knows its audience.

Version 1.4.2Sat Aug 29 2020

In this update, you will find:

- A fix for an issue that some users had with their controls layout. Everything should now work as it used to prior to the previous update. However, if it doesn't, please goto Player Profile => Preferences => Control Options => Control Layout => Reset, and then re-organise the controls to your choosing. You should only have to do this once! Apologies to all those users that have been affected.

Thank you all for playing and for all your feedback. :)
