    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 166)

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 05:37 AM PDT

    Happy Friday, my fellow mobile gamers. And welcome to the latest episode of my weekly roundup of the most interesting games I played last week :)

    This episode includes a fun drifting racing game, a 2D fantasy RPG focused on crafting, and a challenging platform action game with both single-player and real-time multiplayer.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 166 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:

    Drift Max Pro [Game Size: 544 MB] (free)

    Genre: Drifting / Racing - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Drift Max Pro is a fun physics-based drifting game with 36 unique cars, both single-player and real-time multiplayer, and a decent monetization for a racing game.

    The game features a huge career that introduces all the core mechanics, real-time multiplayer versus friends or random opponents, and lots of single-player quick play game-modes, including capture the flag, slalom, cone smash, and free ride. As we progress, we buy more powerful cars that can then be tuned and heavily customized through decals, suspensions, rims, spoilers, and more.

    The controls are nicely calibrated, and the whole experience feels high-quality and well-executed, creating one of the best drifting racing experiences I've personally had on mobile so far.

    We can play the career as much as we want, while quick play requires tires and PvP requires multiplayer tickets, both of which are energy systems that replenish over time. Thankfully, the replenish time is very short, and a $12.99 iAP provides infinite tires.

    Drift Max Pro monetizes through ads after finishing races, incentivized ads for extra rewards, a $2.99 to remove these ads, and relatively inexpensive iAPs to unlock cars faster. Everything can be grinded through normal gameplay, however, and the monetization doesn't feel forced. Interestingly, there's even a single $50 iAP that unlocks all 36 cars, removes ads, and provides infinite tires and multiplayer tickets. Although expensive, this turns the game into a premium experience.

    Heroes and Merchants [Total Game Size: 291 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Fantasy / 2D / Indie - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Portrait + Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Heroes and Merchants is a crafting-focused 2D fantasy RPG that, while primarily single-player, features strategic real-time PvP duels, guild raids, and a global chat to communicate with other players.

    The core gameplay has us send heroes out on missions to gather materials while training artisan NPCs so we can craft items and equipment using those materials. Once started, both crafting and missions execute automatically, with a timer indicating when they will be completed. Meanwhile, we can head into an Adventure mode where we control our heroes from a first-person perspective as we explore a 3D dungeon to gather resources and gold by killing creatures.

    There is no lack of content to dive into, including tasks, guild activities, daily competitions, games at the Tavern, and time-based events. While fun and unique, Heroes and Merchants is very slow-paced in the beginning, with little to do while waiting for missions and crafting to complete. Over time, however, we unlock so much content that the wait-times become irrelevant, and since the game receives frequent updates, this first-play experience might improve over time.

    The game's biggest drawbacks are that the controls in the 3D Adventure mode are somewhat mediocre, and that while having a certain charm, the hand-drawn graphics may not appeal to everyone.

    Heroes and Merchants has almost no monetization. Incentivized ads allow us to gain one extra item from adventures and a key to open a low-tier resource chest, but there are no iAPs or forced ads, and no way to speed things up or gain an unfair advantage.

    Project Secret [Game Size: 278 MB] (free)

    Genre: Action / Platformer / PvP - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Project Secret is an incredibly challenging fast-paced action platformer with a speed-running focused single-player and real-time multiplayer.

    Both campaign missions and multiplayer matches consist of a combination of four maps that we must complete as fast as possible. Every map has a type that indicates whether it is full of traps and other elements that can damage us, features puzzles that need to be solved, or focuses on timing and speed – each challenging in their own way. Maps also include secret areas that can be accessed and completed for extra rewards, although it will cost precious time.

    Winning levels provide us with various currencies used to buy equipment pieces that may add new abilities or boost our defense. These can also be bought for real-life money, which allows paying players to progress faster. Fortunately, the matchmaking is skill-based, which means we should be matched against players on our skill-level. Losing a level consumes energy, of which we have only three per game mode. Once fully depleted, we must wait for them to slowly replenish or spend real-life money for an instant refill.

    The simple controls work well, and although the UI could use some polish, the core gameplay is super fun and challenging. It feels like a game with great ambitions that just needs a bit more development time.

    Project Secret monetizes through iAPs for a premium currency that can be spent on instantly acquiring better equipment or replenishing energy so we can continue playing without a break. If played in 30-minute intervals, the monetization is unlikely to have a large impact on free players.

    [REQUEST] Generic playing card game engine

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 07:11 AM PDT

    Hello! We're looking for an app that would facilitate a remote card game night. Our friend group plays an almost completely customized version of Euchre that is unlikely to have a digital equivalent out there. That said, we are fine with managing the rules, points, and any other minutia of our specific game, but need an app or computer program to allow us to specify the cardset and amount of cards to deal, to ensure randomness among everyone. So everyone would download the app, we'd tell it which cards out of the deck to include, how many players, and how many cards to deal each player, and that's pretty much it.

    Basically, we'd like an app version of playingcards.io (we plan to use this site if we can't find a better alternative).

    Must be cross platform (Android + iOs).

    Bonus points if it's free, but reasonably priced works as well.

    Lemme know if anything is unclear about my request and I'll do my best to clarify. Thanks in advance!

    Anyone here play Smash Legends?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 03:37 PM PDT

    I am having a lot of fun and feel like this could be a decent skill-based PvP game but I can't help shake the feeling that for the past 20 games i have only been playing against bots...not died or lost a single time and they just keep running to middle with very predictive behaviour

    When do i stop playing against bots?

    About dolphin emulator

    Posted: 18 Mar 2021 04:09 PM PDT

    The people on dolphin forums and subs are full of crap and just generally not helpful.

    Is there a way... to make a switch "gamecube" controller with dolphin on android work.

    I can pair it with Bluetooth. When trying to map the buttons the only ones I can get to work are the start button and exit emulation button, is there an app I'm missing or something?
