Desert Riders APK Download for Android: How the Game Plays

The setting borrows heavily from the Mad Max films: warriors in armored cars and battle bikes clash across open desert. There is no real story. Everything is about surviving wave after wave of enemies while you speed along sandy roads.

You drive a vehicle fitted with military weapons, and it moves forward on its own. Your job is to aim and shoot. Hold your finger on the screen and drag it to steer the crosshair toward a target.

Enemy cars and motorcycles close in from the front and open fire, so you need to take them out before they wreck you. Hit the weak points of their vehicles or shoot the drivers directly. The graphics are not especially realistic, but the smooth, simple gameplay makes it easy to pick up and hard to put down.

Levels, Upgrades and Content

The game is split into varied stages with missions that grow tougher as you progress. Powerful bosses wait at the end of levels and drop valuable rewards when defeated. Battles take place on desert highways and other hostile environments, backed by 3D explosion and destruction effects.

The cash and resources you earn go toward:

• Buying better weapons and unlocking new vehicles.
• Upgrading speed, durability and destructive power.
• Fitting new combat gear to customize your ride.

Desert Riders is free to play on Google Play with optional in-app purchases, and it is rated 12+.

Requirements and Installing the XAPK File

You need a device running Android 8.0 or later, and the download is about 172 MB. No internet connection is required to play, which makes it a good pick for travel or areas with weak coverage.

The file is an XAPK, so you will need an XAPK installer app. After downloading, open the file with the installer, follow the prompts until setup finishes, then launch the game and hit the road.

GNVID provides only the original game as released by its developer.
