    5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 198)

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 04:30 AM PST

    The weekend is upon us, and since I'm not sick this week, here's episode 198 of my weekly mobile gaming roundup of the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week :)

    Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3

    This episode includes an awesome fast-paced action platformer, a neat medieval fantasy adventure RPG, a cute action-adventure with roguelite elements, a truly old-school RPG ported from PC, and a surreal point 'n click puzzle game.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 198 weeks ago here.

    Let's get to the games:

    Super Mombo Quest [Game Size: 235 MB] (free)

    Genre: Platformer / Action / Fast-paced / Metroidvania-like - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Super Mombo Quest is a fun and uniquely fast-paced precision platformer with a large Metroidvania-like world full of crystals to collect, enemies to defeat, and dangers to avoid.

    The world is split into lots of interconnected rooms that each have two objectives; collect all the crystals scattered throughout, and achieve a "mombo combo" by killing every enemy before a timer that starts when we hit the first enemy reaches zero. Since every enemy hit and crystal collected adds a bit of extra time to the timer, this last objective makes the gameplay super exciting by forcing us to kill everything in one long combo. And we definitely want to complete these objectives, as they reward us with gold coins used to unlock closed-off areas of the world.

    There are no bullets or weapons in Super Mombo Quest, which means we have to jump on enemies to kill them and use double-jump, wall slides, and dash-jumps to swiftly navigate the room. And when we eventually die, we respawn at a small village where we can spend crystals collected through gameplay on power-ups and permanent upgrades. When we're ready to continue, we then exit the city to make our way through the persistent universe again.

    The gameplay experience is highly polished, and I particularly enjoyed discovering the large number of secret areas, and the tight controls that feature both customizable touch controls and Bluetooth controller support.

    Super Mombo Quest monetizes through ads occasionally shown between rooms, a $2.99 iAP to remove ads, and a $4.99 iAP to also unlock a crystal-doubler, a unique skin, and to make the game offline-playable.

    It's an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys platformers, and one of the best games in the genre to release this year.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Complete [Total Game Size: 1 GB] ($7.99)

    Genre: Adventure / RPG / Medieval fantasy - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape + Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by AlexSem:

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is an award-winning text-based adventure RPG set in a dark medieval fantasy world based on Joe Dever's "Lone Wolf" gamebook series.

    The game has us investigate an enemy attack on a small mining village as a skillful warrior through a gameplay that is split into two phases. The first phase has us read an interactive non-linear book page by page and occasionally make important choices that define how the story unfolds. Some choices require us to play minigames where success highly depends on our stats and abilities. There is also a map that lets us navigate to specific sections of the book, and shops and forges where we can manage our equipment.

    The second phase begins when we encounter an enemy, which launches us into a 3D environment where we have a limited time frame to attack and activate items or magic abilities using mana and stamina. When time runs out, the enemies start their move, and we must defend or evade their attacks. Since each action requires us to tap or swipe the screen at just the right moment, these battles become a test of precision and reflexes.

    The game's captivating story delivers hours of interesting gameplay that never gets boring due to the constant switching between reading and action segments. In addition, the various random events and many ways to develop our character lead to a range of different endings, which adds a high level of replayability.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is a $7.99 premium game with no additional iAPs. It is one of those rare masterpieces that demonstrate how great mobile gaming can be if done right, making it an easy recommendation for anyone fond of high-quality story-driven games.

    Sparklite [Game Size: 188 MB] (Free Trial - $6.99)

    Genre: RPG / Adventure / Action / Roguelite - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Sparklite is a polished action-adventure RPG with light roguelike elements ported from PC by Dead Cells publisher Playdigious.

    The core gameplay has us explore a world split into dungeon-like sections that get randomly generated on each play-through. The objective is to fight monsters to earn Sparklite, which is a currency used to buy new weapons, gadgets, and upgrades. The game is rather challenging, but after enough upgrades, we'll eventually discover and be able to defeat the boss and move on to the next areas.

    Between playthroughs, we progress by unlocking new weapons, including bows and remote-controlled bomb ships, and by equipping a combination of gadget upgrades that can increase our health, reveal important locations on the world map, and much more.

    The pixel art-style is cute and polished, with neat animations and a fairly interesting world and characters. This mobile port features the same gameplay as the PC counterpart and includes both cloud save and achievements. The touch controls work decently well, but despite supposedly having full controller support, several users are reporting that their controllers don't work.

    My only frustration was that after barely surviving getting to a specific area, I was often met by a dead end or a gate I couldn't enter because I hadn't progressed far enough yet. Since the location of these gates is randomly generated, I found myself forced to entirely avoid combat so I could survive running around the map to identify the gates first, which slightly ruined the core gameplay loop.

    Sparklite is free to try until the first boss has been defeated, after which the full game unlocks through a single $6.99 iAP. Overall, it provides a great experience with hours of fun gameplay perfect for fans of action-adventure games.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition [Game Size: 3.3 GB] ($9.99)

    Genre: RPG / Adventure / Old-school / Port - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by CaptainQQ:

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is a mobile port of the 2012 remake of an epic 1998 fantasy RPG that uses the rules and world of an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

    The D&D inspiration means we start by creating a new level 1 character by choosing between standard fantasy races and classes, and then explore the world while completing quests and recruiting allies to deal with the evil forces taking over the world. Interestingly, through the way we interact with the various NPCs, we even get to decide if we want to be good or evil.

    One of the best parts about Baldur's Gate is its unique combat system that lets us pause the game mid-battle to assign actions that direct our units to move, attack, or use magic, before then un-pausing to let the fight unfold.

    Unfortunately, the game is not very beginner-friendly as the UI is overwhelmingly cluttered and uses terms that are likely to confuse new players. In addition, since our characters only level up a few times during a play-through, they can't use more than a few spells before having to rest somewhere overnight. This forces us to repeatedly use our characters' ranged auto-attacks for most combat encounters, making most of the game fairly easy and simplistic.

    Baldur's Gate is a $9.99 premium game with a few small DLC iAPs. The base game is often on sale with over 50% off along with the other games in the same series. It's a classic that just didn't age super well, but although overwhelming at first, it can offer 60+ hours of fun for the table-top and strategy RPG fans who are dedicated to understanding the game.

    The White Door [Game Size: 209 MB] ($3.49)

    Genre: Adventure / Point 'n Click / Puzzle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by Pete McD:

    The White Door is an interesting puzzle game that explores mental health in an unusual way. As a spin-off from the Cube Escape series of point-and-click adventure games, it tells a surreal and moving story centered around Robert Hill – a man who has split up from his girlfriend and lost his job only for things to then get way worse…

    Robert has ended up in a mysterious psychiatric hospital, and it's initially our role to simply guide him through mundane tasks such as eating breakfast, finishing memory tests, and so on. As the days progress, however, things slowly get weirder, and the puzzles get much harder.

    Because it is more interested in telling a story, the game is less complex than the Cube Escape series, which is a refreshing shift in emphasis for the genre. However, the flashback chapters are almost too simple, with our role reduced to dragging to take a sip of coffee or moving some clouds when we're told to.

    It's a good attempt at involving us in the story rather than just showing cutscenes, but it isn't entirely successful. The hospital levels make up for this though, especially as the story develops, and there are also plenty of tricky achievements and even two hidden chapters to discover.

    Although the art-style is incredibly simplistic, the light pastel colors of the flashbacks greatly contrast the stark monochrome theme of the hospital to clearly convey Robert's depression.

    The White Door is a premium game without ads or iAPs that costs $3.49. Although the gameplay may occasionally seem too simple, it serves to make the story accessible and well-paced, and despite the relatively short length, the game provides excellent value for fans of point-and-click adventures.

    [REQUEST]Looking for idle-ish game with some coop

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 06:28 AM PST

    Hey there guys, id like to find a new game for me and few friends. We have been playing afk arena for quite some time, but we are getting sicker with the games direction by the day.

    Basically we would like something similar, but better :) What are we looking for:

    Afk/idle gameplay as we dont have hours a day to give to mobile game - But with option to sunk more time if wanted to (some events, other game mods, progression, whatever)

    Some form of reasonable coop, be it events (like abex in afk) or some guild wars, fighting guild bosses etc.

    We are perfectly ok with monetization of games, but we would like to avoid shameless cashgrabs... who wouldnt right?

    It could be some RPG, strategy, hell, even city builder if it gots what we want. Ill be glad for any suggestions, thanks!

    My MiniReview app now has 1k game reviews, so I’m giving away two Android-compatible Bluetooth Controllers (simply share your favorite games in the comments)

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 05:07 AM PST

    As of this week, there are now over 1000 game reviews live on MiniReview, the games discovery platform I've built based on my Friday posts here on the sub. And that means it is time to celebrate! :)

    Even with 1000 games reviewed and 2700+ total games in the database, however, I'm still missing a lot of great titles. So this giveaway is meant to give something back to you guys while gathering a long list of the best mobile games so I can add them to the platform.

    The prize? Two lucky winners will get a Bluetooth controller like the ipega-PG-9083S (which is built for mobile), or the wireless Xbox controller - your choice.

    HOW DO I WIN?

    All you have to do is share your favorite mobile games in a comment below. You can share as many as you'd like in the same comment. Simple as that :)

    The event runs until November 30th at 11am GMT+1, and the two winners will be picked at random from the comments in this thread + the one over on r/MiniReview, and then contacted via a Reddit private message.

    AND THEN?

    After the event is over, I'll get to work on adding all of these games to MiniReview. It'll be impossible to review all of the games in a short time-frame, but they will all be manually added to the database (including custom screenshots, tags etc. to make them discoverable), and launch alongside the website.

    And speaking of which, once the website is out, you can also request a review of any of these games by clicking the "Request a review" button that shows up on the pages of games that don't yet have an editorial review. You can of course also leave user-ratings, as always :)

    Once again, thanks for all the amazing support and feedback over the years. New Friday post with recommendations coming tomorrow, of course - as always <3

    [DEV] Grim Quest: Origins - prequel to a classic RPG / Dungeon Crawler

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 01:54 AM PST

    [DEV] Grim Quest: Origins - prequel to a classic RPG / Dungeon Crawler

    Hi, I'd like to present Grim Quest: Origins, the newly released prequel to Grim Quest - Old School RPG.

    Because of its focus on storytelling and worldbuilding, Grim Quest is often compared to a single player DnD campaign

    Grim Quest: Origins is a text RPG / dungeon crawler set in a high fantasy setting, with elements of swashbuckling adventure thrown in for good measure. It utilizes minimalist and retro aestethics, vibrant musical score, and LOTS of written text to immerse you in its weird and lore-rich world.

    Those already familiar with Grim Quest know that it takes the old-school approach, in a way that it doesn't hold your hand much, and expects you to put some thought and effort into it, instead of showering you with easy success and cheap dopamine boosts. That being said, the game's difficulty is fully customizable, if you find the default settings too harsh.

    Grim Quest: Origins won't spam you with popup ads (unless you want them), and only utilizes a small banner ad at the bottom of the screen. Ads can be removed altogether with a fairly priced in-app purchase. Other in-app purchases, while present, won't get in your face, and are mostly of the voluntary nature. You can support the game by purchasing them, but you won't miss out on any content if you decide against it.

    The game is available for FREE at the Play Store:

    Controllers for tablets. Ipega PG-9023 vs PG-9083s or PG-9167?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 12:00 PM PST

    Hi. I'm looking for a new controller for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. I have an Ipega PG-9023 controller and am wondering whether the PG-9083s or PG-9167 controllers are actually an upgrade?

    I'm really curious if the bumpers are any better. I hate them on PG-9023. They feel absolutely atrocious compared to the ones on the XBOX controller.

    Thank you for your help!
