    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 160)

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:20 AM PST

    Happy Friday, my fellow Android gamers, and welcome back to this weekly summary of the most interesting games I played this week :)

    This episode includes an interesting action RPG that plays a lot like Diablo, a very unique multiplayer strategy card game, and a PvP fighting game from a franchise that has been downloaded more than 500 million times!

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 159 weeks ago here.

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

    Let's get to the games:

    Creatures of Aether [Game Size: 189 MB] (free)

    Genre: Card / Strategy / PvP / Indie - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Creatures of Aether is a unique strategy card game where our goal is to dominate the majority of a shared 4x4 gridded board by placing a creature card from our hand on each turn.

    Every card has a power number on each of its four sides. Placing a card next to an opponent's card allows us to take it over and turn it into one of ours if the power number on our card's side is higher than that on the opponent card's adjacent side. Once the board is full, the player with the most cards on the board wins.

    To spice things up, board tiles can have elemental types that buff or debuff any card placed on them, and some cards even have strong special powers that trigger once played. While the mechanics are easy to understand, the game is incredibly difficult to master, and I often found I had made a mistake a few turns ago that now put me in a disadvantageous situation, just like in chess.

    Decks consist of eight cards, with a total deck-cost limit and a value on each card that increases the more powerful it is. This adds a nice forced prioritization that prevents us from placing all the strongest cards in the same hand.

    The high-quality modern pixel art style is well-executed, and the sound design is pleasing. The main PvP mode is supported by multiple arcade modes and single-player dungeon-crawls that provide new cards or extra copies so existing cards can be leveled up.

    Creatures of Aether monetizes through a $4.99 battle pass and iAPs for card packs, which create a pay-to-progress-faster advantage for paying players. However, the core gameplay is both deep and fun, and free players can still enjoy the many game-modes and simply grind for cards.

    Raziel: Dungeon Arena [Total Game Size: 5.1 GB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Action / Co-op / Diablo-like - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Raziel: Dungeon Arena is a fun Diablo-like action RPG with solo and co-op dungeons, an insane amount of unique loot, neat 3D graphics, cute pets, and well-calibrated controls.

    The game features 3 classes; archer, melee knight, ice priest, and although there is no character customization, we can at least switch build later in the game. As we level up, we unlock more and more skills and can gradually customize our build through one of the largest talent trees I've ever seen in a mobile game.

    From the main city, we can meet and chat with other players, craft potions, team up for co-op dungeons, or jump into the single-player missions to slay hordes of enemies and find new loot with unique stats and set bonuses.

    Raziel is a modern mobile game, for better or worse, which means lots of daily and monthly login rewards, achievements, events etc. My biggest gripes with the game, however, are that finding a team at lower levels is almost impossible and that while combat is fun, everything is too easy in the beginning.

    Monetization happens through a $4.99 battle pass, a premium currency used primarily for cosmetics, and various "packs" of crafting materials and potions that go up to $19.99. There is no need to spend money on the game to enjoy it though, and while paying players definitely have an advantage in PvP, the game is primarily PvE-focused.

    Shadow Fight Arena [Game Size: 1.2 GB] (free)

    Genre: Fightign / Action / PvP / High-quality - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Shadow Fight Arena is a visually impressive PvP-focused melee fighting game where we collect a team of three heroes and battle it out in real-time 1v1 multiplayer matches with one hero at a time.

    At the beginning of every match, both we and our opponent select which hero to start with. If our hero dies, we get to switch it out with one of the two remaining heroes. We keep going like this until we run out of heroes or have defeated the opponent's heroes.

    Each of the 16 total heroes have unique weapons, abilities, and stats that increase over time as they're leveled up. Sometimes, we even get to select between two different upgrades, allowing us to customize each hero. Using a hero with stats and abilities that optimally counters the opponent's hero is key to winning, and it makes combat fun and engaging.

    After every match, we progress in the Arena ladder and Battle Pass progression system, both of which provide gold and hero cards used to unlock new heroes and upgrade existing ones.

    The touch controls that include a left-side joystick and multiple attack and ability buttons on the right side are well-calibrated, and the punches and weapon attacks feel heavy and powerful. And with ranked, unranked, friendly matches, and AI game modes, there is plenty to dive into.

    Shadow Fight Arena monetizes through a $13.49 monthly Battle Pass and hero loot boxes that allow paying players to progress faster than free players. It is all around one of the most impressive fighting games on mobile, but just be aware that while everything can be grinded, the monetization might make it difficult to progress fast without buying the Battle Pass.

    Phone as gamepad for tablet.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:39 AM PST

    Is there any way to use my phone as a bluetooth gamepad? Whatever I've looked into doesn't really work well. I'll probs get an xbox controller later, but I was wondering if there was anything viable on the phone side of this as a temporary solution. My tablet is a Galaxy Tab S7 and my phone is a Galaxy Note10.

    I just found out Slay The Spire, KOTOR 2, Battle For Bikini Bottom and Bloodstained where recently ported to Android, so I was wondering if there is an updated lists of Android ports, because the only one I could find in this sub is 4 years old.

    REMAPPING THE BUTTONS ON THE GAMESIR X2?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 09:36 AM PST

    About a week of so ago I had someone ask me if there was a way to remap the Gamesir x2 buttons from the Nintendo Switch Layout to the Xbox Layout and I put in some research. This is what I came up with and hopefully it helps anyone looking to do so.

    https://youtu.be/k_-QOA4x97I?t=154

    Let me know if this helps or if you have a better option let the community know below. Would definitely be nice to see other methods on Remapping mobile controller buttons!

    How to change date/time settings for a game instance, but not for your entire phone?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 09:24 AM PST

    Hello everyone. I am hoping this is the right place to ask. I would like to know if there is an app or a something similar that can provide a date/time change for a game(s) but not for the entire phone.

    Example : there is a game I have called kittens game which is basically a resource management game and the developer seems to not have an issue with people utilizing scripts/automation/"cheating" in the game. I enjoy the game for God knows why.

    I can use a date/time exploit to speed up the resource gathering process of the game and skip a bunch of "baby steps" at the beginning of the game, because you reset a lot of times to earn points for resetting and making your next run easier/more efficient.

    But to avoid data issues on my phone, I have to go on airplane mode, access date and time settings and change it and basically make it a dedicated process of when I want to do that. So I want to k ow if there is an app or some other process to just change time as it is associated with that specific app/game but not on my entire phone.

    Is this a thing or no?

    [REQUEST] Does anyone have updated recommendations for any true mmorpgs on the play store?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:04 AM PST

    I used to play Dragon Revolt (which was fun) until they stopped updating the game. Then I had played World of Kings (WOWish kinda game) until 2 characters I had invested time into got banned for some unknown reason. Apparently reading the reviews, I wasn't the only one.

    I'm looking at something close to the WOW experience. I'm OK with partial auto questing but not for it to completely play the game for me.

    I've tried Runescape since I've seen many people recommend that to others in the past, but it wasn't for me.

    Thanks for any recommendations!

    An ad showing gameplay from a completely different game...?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:47 PM PST

    So i was enjoying a game and i got this ad that caught my eye. It literally was Red Alert 2 gameplay so i was a bit confused because of it's title. I clicked on it to go to the store page and it's a game about naval battles called 'Battle Warship Naval Empire'.

    Needless to say that the pictures on the store have nothing to do with what the ad was showing. I know that ads have gotten ridiculous but straight up putting gameplay from another game altogether on an ad is just so outlandish and ridiculous to me.

    I did not install the game so i am not 100% sure if what i'm saying is deserved or not but i'm 99.9% sure that it is without even looking further into it.

    [REQUEST] multiplayer game with steady progression

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 08:25 PM PST

    Also progression that introduces mechanics over time. I like games like brawl stars, clash Royale, and random dice. It would be cool if the game had an active Reddit community and a meta.
