    5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 66)

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 05:03 AM PDT

    I'm melting away here in Denmark, so after nearly 66 consecutive weeks here and on YouTube, I'll be taking a 1 week vacation next week. But fret not, I'll be back in action the week after again!

    Thank you for giving me a reason and desire to return and continue these videos and posts! You guys rock! ;)

    So now, let's get to my 5 tl;dr mobile gaming recommendations based on the games I've played this week.

    Am I wrong about these games? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 64 weeks ago here.

    The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.

    To the games!

    Zombie Combat Simulator [Game Size: 291 MB] (free)

    Genre: Shooter / Zombie - Offline Playable

    tl;dr review:

    Zombie Combat Simulator is a third-person team shooter with online, LAN, and offline game modes where we fight as a team against hordes of zombies.

    At the start of every match, we get to pick two weapons for free, and more advanced weapons are unlocked as we level up, through iAP, or by watching an ad, which will give a trial for new weapons that lasts until we close the game.

    The biggest appeal of this game is the LAN and sandbox modes, the latter of which allows us to change the rules of the game, the spawn system for the zombies, and much more.

    Clone Armies [Total Game Size: 103 MB] (free)

    Genre: Action - Offline

    tl;dr review:

    Clone Armies is a 2D action game where we control a character with a gun as we try to take out as many enemies as we can before we die. When dead, we can respawn as a new character, while a clone repeats exactly what we did before dying.

    The single-player game mode has 30 very difficult levels, and the multiplayer mode has us first fight against an opponent's defense setup, and in round 2 protect against the opponent's attack.

    The game monetizes through a $2 iAP to unlock the sandbox game-mode, and through selling premium currency, which can be spent on opening crates won through PVP instantly, which will unlock new characters and allow us to level up existing ones.

    Boxing Star [Game Size: 454 MB] (free)

    Genre: Sport / Boxing - Online

    tl;dr review:

    Boxing Star is a new boxing sports game by 'Battle of Arrow'-developer FourThirtyThree. The controls are swipe and tap-based, but much more interesting and difficult to master than typical fighting games, which means it takes some actual skills to win matches!

    The game has singleplayer story-missions as well as a non-real-time multiplayer mode, and the entire game is of extremely high quality, including well-thought-out and fun characters.

    Sadly, however, the game is very grindy and does become pay2win later on, as we can both pay to unlock new gear faster AND spend premium currency on recovering health in-between rounds.

    Would I recommend the game? Absolutely, as the gameplay is great fun, but I wouldn't recommend playing further than to the point where the game becomes one big grind. At that point, just stop and take the game for what it has been :)

    MapleStory M [Total Game Size: 1.78 GB] (free)

    Genre: MMORPG / Roleplaying - Online

    tl;dr review:

    2D fantasy MMORPG 'MapleStory Mobile' was finally globally released this week, and if you want to play it yourself, be aware of the 1.4 GB patch and be sure to check out the game's sub-Reddit for tips on getting started.

    The joystick control works decently (takes a few minutes getting used to), but the game has two auto-systems, which most players use to travel the world; auto-quests, which can be used at all times, and auto-battle, which we have 2 hours of every day.

    Players that want more auto-battle time can buy it for premium currency, and apart from that, the game mostly monetizes through cosmetics and boxes that can unlock legendary equipment.

    So is the game pay2win? Yeah, it is (you can pay for the "bot" and to acquire better gear faster). But does it mean free players can't compete? No, it doesn't. In fact, I know of a person among the top 60 players who have never spent a dime on the game.

    The game is very high quality, the character progression interesting, and it has dungeons, guilds and a ton of content, but if you despise auto systems, maybe just skip this one.

    Dead Island: Survivors [Total Game Size: 1.24 GB] (free)

    Genre: Tower Defense / Action - Online

    tl;dr review:

    Dead Island: Survivors is a high-quality Tower Defense game by "Galaxy on Fire" developer Deep Silver, where we setup a defensive structure of turrets AND control a character running around the map, defending the islands from hordes of zombies in 2-3 minute matches.

    Controls work great, and the characters are fun, with awesome-looking abilities that can be used in-battle.

    Sadly, however, upgrading turrets requires either waiting without being able to use it while it's upgrading, or gathering enough cards, which together with new weapons for our main characters, are unlocked through chests that we have to wait to open.

    A great game that is ruined through wait-times and the overall monetization.

    Is it still worth it to develop games?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:44 PM PDT

    Hey, /r/AndroidGaming

    I'm kinda stuck in a rut right now, and i need to find a way out of this mess. So me and my best friend decided to do something on our own, so i came up with this vague idea that we'll develop video games for mobile. It's gonna be a tough sell considering that there are millions of games released everyday on the playstore.

    So, is it still worth giving it a shot?

    What are some of the best release practices to get noticed?

    Advice?

    Wouldn't it be cool if the AppStore had a "Worldwide" setting?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 05:41 AM PDT

    Just so you could what apps are the top rated and most downloaded! Because I feel your location affects what people play.

    What do you guys think about this?

    Anyone else play Super Tank Rumble?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 05:46 AM PDT

    Just started, but seems like a fun game. Couldn't find it's own reddit, which is usually a bad sign though.

    Looking for older TD title.

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 07:03 AM PDT

    This TD game was very simple but difficult. It was based on simple geometric shapes and was very neon colored.

    Name of an Indie Puzzle?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 05:26 AM PDT

    Just got an Android phone after a few years... trying to remember this game I was addicted to. Puzzle, involved colored sticks and little fireballs, you had to get all the blue fireballs in the portal, for example, and there were dangerous traps, it got increasingly more difficult. Very beautiful, minimalist. Does anyone have suggestions of names?

    EDIT: Found it! was Nimble Squiggles.

    Is clash of clans still worth picking up in 2018?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 09:08 AM PDT

    Back in 2013-15 Clash of Clans used to be my favourite game but when I lost my account (dumb me gave my password out) I decided to quit.

    Now I'm looking for a game with a similar vibe but Clash seems to have escalated in quality.

    So my question is should I start my base in Clash or are there any other games with similar mechanics and art style.

    [Request] Looking for an old game I used to play, it has similar artwork with Air Patriots but different gameplay.

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:29 AM PDT

    So this was back in the Xperia Mini days, there was this one air plane game where you zoom around killing à la battle royale. One thing I remember is that is has very Air Patriots-ish artwork.

    I had a few collectable planes and its a josytick like controls.
