    This is everything a Dillon Fan has been waiting for ! Similar game
    Play as The last 2 games (with out the forced touch screen) and so much more content!

    This game is great! I never knew they another Dillion game! However the game is repetitive which makes it boring after 1-2 hours playing on it

    It's a very great improvement from the previous two games. Can't wait for a Switch game from Dillon.

    Definitly an unterrated Gem! Good mix of driving and action in an tower defense setting, embedded in a story with a couple of fun minigames (racing, tron-style shooting, sorting rubbish, running a shop). The money you earn in the mini games is spend on riflemen for the tower defense, right before defending you gather materials to strengthen the towers.

The money you earn in the mini games is spend on riflemen for the tower defense, right before defending you gather materials to strengthen the towers. A lot of game mechanics intersected into each other, what makes the fun run for hours. I play it at least 60min once I start it and play it for 16 hours now and don't think that I made it to the half. The 3D is well integrated. It's a strong challenge, but managable. One of my favourites on the 3DS.… Expand

    The best game in the series to date. [Issue #34 – July/August 2018, p. 17]

    Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is part of a series of games that had not seen a new iteration for several years and when compared to its predecessors, this certainly feels like an appealing, refined and fun experience. Unfortunately it's also too repetitive, which ends up becoming its biggest issue and its price does not seem fully justified for what this game is offering.

    This third entry in the series, Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers, is at best woefully insubstantial and at worst torturously protracted.
