    5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 98)

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 09:15 AM PDT

    Welcome back to another episode of my favorite Friday tradition; a quick tl;dr opinion / review of the 5 most interesting mobile games I played last week.

    This week, including an innovative and fun roguelike tower defense shooter, a retro platformer with a Rayman Jungle Run-like control system, a top-down sci-fi roguelike RPG from 2015, a casual minimalistic puzzler, and finally a mobile The Elder Scrolls fantasy RPG.

    Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 98 weeks ago here.

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

    Here are this week's games:

    Dark Zone Defense [Game Size: 195 MB] (free)

    Genre: Roguelike / Shooter / Tower Defense / Indie – Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Dark Zone Defense is a unique indie roguelike "defense shooter" where we control a character standing in the middle of a room surrounded by complete darkness. With a torch as the only light-source, we take down waves of creepy monsters coming at us from all 360 degrees using a verity of over-the-top weapons and skills.

    After every round, we pick between unlocking a new Gun, Skill, Ability upgrade, or life regeneration, and when we eventually die, we can spend the in-game currency to research brand new abilities and skills.

    The waves are randomly generated, the monsters all have unique attack patterns requiring a different combat strategy to counter, and the gameplay is intense. With an innovative mix of roguelike, TD, and shooter elements, this is one of the best indie games I've played recently.

    The game comes at a $2 premium price on iOS, and on Android a $2 iAP removes ads and the energy system that otherwise limits us to 5 plays per session.

    Yeah Bunny 2 [Game Size: 112 MB] (free)

    Genre: Platformer / Retro / 8-bit - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Yeah Bunny 2 is a lovely new retro platformer with crisp 8-bit art and a Rayman Jungle Run-like system where we run forward automatically, tapping the screen to 1) kill enemies by jumping on them, and 2) jump off of walls to change the direction we're running in.

    Filled with enemies, traps, and secret areas, the game's 50 huge levels are very well-designed, and completing all of them 100% quickly becomes a real challenge.

    We're shown advertisements between most levels, but a single $2 iAP remove all ads for good.

    Dead Shell [Total Game Size: 147 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Sci-Fi / Roguelike – Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review:

    Dead Shell is a top-down self-proclaimed roguelike RPG with a doom-like sci-fi theme released back in 2015.

    With one of 8 heroes each with unique traits, we head into randomly generated levels, attacking monsters and picking up ammo and potions to explore the labyrinth-like map until we eventually find the exit.

    Although there is no permadeath (we simply have to wait for heroes to revive, or pay to revive instantly), ammo is a very scarce resource, and with multiple weapons to unlock, picking the right one for the monster you're fighting is vital to winning.

    The game has no forced ads but monetizes by selling crates that include new weapons and ammo. The same instantly-unlockable crates are rewarded through gameplay.

    Stack & Crack [Total Game Size: 139 MB] (free)

    Genre: Puzzle / Indie - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review:

    Stack & Crack is a beautiful minimalistic puzzle game with 100 hand-crafted levels.

    The goal is simple: get a set of boxes placed on a grid-based map to the exit point. The tricky part is that each box can only move in one direction, forcing us to figure out the right order to stack the boxes in so that they can all be moved to the exit.

    The game slowly introduces new mechanics and is neither super hardcore nor too easy, making the difficulty perfect for the majority of puzzle gamers. On Android, we're shown ads between levels, which can be removed through a $2 iAP, and on iOS the game comes at a $1 up-front premium price, with iAPs to buy additional hints on both platforms.

    The Elder Scrolls: Blades [Game Size: 1.24 GB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Action - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape + Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    The early-access version of The Elder Scrolls: Blades is finally here! But is it the ultimate RPG for mobile?

    No.

    Don't get me wrong, the core gameplay of gathering resources from quests that has us freely explore Skyrim-like dungeons is actually decently fun, and the combat system is unique for mobile.

    BUT... the UI is unresponsive, the PvP will be very Pay-to-Win due to Legendary lootboxes sold through iAP, the load-times when navigating the menus are horrific, and neither the controls nor graphics are optimized yet (it's Bethesda, remember :p).

    With all that said, I AM having fun with the singleplayer aspect of the game, and considering that it's still in beta, a lot will hopefully improve over the next weeks /months.

    [REQUEST] What's your favorite sci-fi/space ship game?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 03:11 PM PDT

    Things like Space RPG3 or Star traders. The old start with a junker and work up to a big ship formula. Offline playable is much preferred.

    Good Idle RPGs?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 10:20 PM PDT

    I really enjoy the concept of idle games with RPG style interactions. My favorite is Almost a Hero, but I've recently started Clickpocalypse II. Is there anything else like these that's worth a try?

    False advertising

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 05:18 PM PDT

    TLDR free game advertising and process

    So something that's bothered me for quite a while has been the amount of false advertising of games that you see in ads. Personally I feel that games which falsely advertise, should be banned from the play store. Now, I'm a level 57 google play gamer, and I play pretty much everything that comes out. I find it disgusting that games advertise themselves as something completely different. In order to adjust to the trends that are going on.

    Guns of Glory for example, is a game that I have seen recently trying to advertise completely different than the product that is offered.

    Do we no longer have product control? Do we now have a situation where you can buy a car; advertised with headlights and windshield wipers, and not get it?

    We have situations where the top power players get extra characters, due to being high level VIP that have put a lot of money into the game. In turn, they get rewarded more. But there is no hope for minimal purchase or free to play players.

    Pretty much everything in this situation is flawed.

    I hate how so many games that offer advertisements to increase your score, still have you view said advertisement, regardless of gain or value.

    I love to see creative games, like Soda Dungeon, that offer you options but do not force them upon you. Any ads that appear are not misleading.

    Personally, I think something needs to be done about the marketplace. There are inconsistencies on how it is handled. It seems like, do whatever you want in order to gain a profit. No consequence is had, for disregarding a player that is interested in the mechanics of said game. We have too many low rated apps ranking as popular, that are sheer fodder for the advertisement monopoly.

    Card-based games that aren't the standard "duel-deck" style?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 07:57 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a lighter game that's card based, but doesn't have the same general gameplay of Hearthstone, Gwent, Magic, etc. I'll play one of those if I want a game like that.

    Perhaps a deckbuilding game? Or something that just shakes up combat in a pretty different way. I like collecting cards, but I don't want to have to blow money to just play a casual game.

    Solitaire style games like Miracle Merchant are alright, but something about the "use up the whole deck correctly or you lose" gameplay bothers me.

    I got this itch after playing Yakuza Kiwami, and there's a minigame (Mesuking) which has you battling "bugs". You choose 3 of your cards to be your character's attacks, which have different compatibilities and powers. The actual game is decided through rock-paper-scissors matches to see who attacks. It's pretty simple, but it's fun to play and collect new moves or bugs.

    What's the best gamepad to touch emulation app currently?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 11:39 AM PDT

    Finally rooted my tablet, and would like to use a gamepad to play some touch only games.

    After search Play Store, there are many apps not updated for years, and I can't tell which one can work best (or work), hope I can get some advice here.

    Here are a few apps looks like it may work:

    1. USB/BT Joystick Center 2019
    2. Panda Gamepad Pro
    3. Game Controller 2 Touch Pro
    4. Tincore Keymapper

    Other options are welcome. Thanks!

    What are the games that you have played regularly for a long time/keep coming back to?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 01:45 PM PDT

    For me it's Identity V - somehow it just doesn't get stale for me. Also Hearthstone occasionally, though I've been playing that since vanilla.

    What are your long lasting games?
