    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 181)

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 04:23 AM PDT

    And just like that, it's Friday again - which means another episode of my weekly mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played last week. I hope you'll enjoy it :)

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

    This episode includes one of the most unique endless runners I've ever played, a polished RPG hero collector, and a casual fast-paced racing game.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 181 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:

    Nightstream [Game Size: 494 MB] (free)

    Genre: Arcade / Runner / Indie / Sci-fi - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Nightstream is an incredibly unique forward runner with a great futuristic art-style and both story and endless game-modes. Sitting at less than 100k downloads, it's also a bit of a hidden gem.

    The game has us surf through a sci-fi city on a hovering surfboard while avoiding obstacles and enemies. But what truly sets it apart is that we're not limited to moving in the typical three lanes found in most other runners. Instead, we can surf on literally any surface – even the walls and roof – by swiping to freely and gradually move our character from side to side or up and down.

    The control system allows for super precise movement, and the freedom it creates is perfectly utilized by the level design to make an awesome gameplay experience where we can even fall off the tracks if we're not careful.

    Along the way, we pick-up powerups, such as coin magnets, and missiles that fire at the drones that occasionally try to take us down. Although some players might find the campaign missions too difficult and lengthy, they can at least freely be replayed since there is no energy system limiting us.

    Nightstream monetizes through occasional ads and then iAPs up to $4.99 to remove the ads and instantly acquire more in-game currency used to buy vanity cosmetics for both our character and surfboard. Since the same currency is earned through gameplay, the monetization is very relaxed, and no purchase is necessary to enjoy the game.

    Alchemy Stars [Total Game Size: 2.6 GB] (free)

    Genre: Strategy / Hero Collector / Gacha / RPG - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Alchemy Stars is a polished hero collector RPG with a refreshingly engaging strategic combat system, a bunch of interesting game-modes, and an overall style and UI that feels inspired by Arknights.

    The best part about the game is absolutely its fun combat system that takes place on a playing field made up of a grid of tiles with four different colors. The 5-hero team we assemble to deal with the enemies on the grid each belongs to one of these four colors, and to attack, we simply drag from our leader's tile to connect similarly colored tiles. When we release our finger, only our leader and the heroes that match the color of the connected tiles get to attack, which makes team composition very important.

    Interestingly, each hero has both an active skill and a skill that automatically triggers if enough tiles of that heroes' color are linked, which means it's possible to achieve powerful combo attacks. This also makes positioning incredibly important and adds a deep level of strategy to the game.

    The game does have an auto system, but it's so bad that active play is necessary for most levels. I personally like it that way, as it forces a more engaging gameplay while still allowing older levels to be autoed to farm resources.

    Heroes of different rarities are unlocked through a gacha system, after which they can be upgraded in various ways to grow stronger. The system is relatively generous, and we receive a decent amount of premium currency from completing levels.

    Alchemy Stars monetizes through iAPs that allow us to progress faster, but since there is no meaningful PvP and no paywalls, it doesn't have a big impact on the free-to-play experience. Playing levels requires stamina, however, which depletes relatively quickly – so you can't play for hours at a time.

    Because of its high level of polish and combat system that is more interesting than your average gacha game, Alchemy Stars serves as a good introduction to the genre.

    Smash Bandits Racing [Game Size: 247 MB] (free)

    Genre: Racing / Casual - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Smash Bandits Racing is a fun and fast-paced racing game where we attempt to escape the cops while wreaking havoc by destroying as much of the world as possible to increase our TV rating and earn cash.

    The game is viewed top-down from a TV car-chase helicopter, and instead of being forced to constantly drive forward and follow a narrow track, we can drive in any direction and freely explore the open world as we see fit – as long as we don't get caught by the cops.

    The further we get, the more aggressive the cops become, and we'll soon have to avoid spike strips and police car barricades around every corner. Fortunately, if a police car gets close enough, we can tap it to smash it with our car, which leads to lovely over-the-top explosions and huge TV rating increases. We can do this a few times per run.

    To control our vehicle, we must constantly hold a finger on the screen and then swipe to either side to turn left or right. The controls are well-calibrated and allow for some crazy stunts and donuts.

    Between playthroughs, we can spend the cash we've earned on upgrading the speed, smash power, and handling of our vehicle, or buy new cars. The graphics are slightly dated but the slow-motion and special effects look great. The biggest downside is the unconventional menu UI and UX that takes some getting used to.

    Smash Bandits Racing monetizes through incentivized ads and iAPs to acquire new cars. Although almost every car can be unlocked for free, it takes a lot of grinding to earn enough currency to unlock them all through gameplay. Fortunately, we don't need the fancier cars to be able to continue enjoying the game.

    [DEV] Released my first game (only german langue at the moment) - Galgenmännchen

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:56 AM PDT

    Heyho,

    to practice programming with Kotlin and getting used to the process of publishing an app in the Google Play Store, I made a little hangman game called "Galgenmännchen" (as Hangman is called in germany).

    Currently it is only available in german speaking countries, as the only language in implemented is german. In later updates, I will add english as additional language.

    It is pretty minimalistic, since I have still lots to learn, but I would be happy if anyone here speaking german would like try it out :)

    Is there an overheating issue with mobile gaming phones?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:52 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to get into mobile gaming, so I'm upgrading my phone. I have no experience with this field, and after reading a few reviews, I noticed complaints that Snapdragon 870/888 chips have an overheating issue.

    I'm currently looking at getting an android phone, and I'm considering the Galaxy S20 FE / Xiaomi Poco F3 Pro / Asus Zenfone 8 / Asus ROG phone 5.

    Do any of these phones suffer from a severe overheating issue? Is there another reliable Android phone that I should consider?

    Thanks!

    Emulators for M1?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:34 AM PDT

    I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a game emulator for Apple M1 without much success. Can anybody recommend one? Nox can't unzip and I really don't want to recovery mode fix it, so is there anything else? Bluestacks 5 isn't here yet either.

    I only see the original Free Fire on the playstore but I read that a new improved version was coming out this summer, or is it already out? Last time I checked the news, it was only open to Middle East and North Africa server.

    Help me identify an older game

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:25 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    I'm trying to recall an Android game I played around 2013-2014. Your character is a blacksmith and you had to match gear pieces on a grid to craft items for villagers or adventures. There are different configurations to make spears, axes, armor etc. I recall it being a cartoon art style. I believe it was a free download. Thanks for help in advance!

    [Request] Strategy/ Management games

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:07 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm looking for a game that has at least a couple of these points. - Combat/Warfare based (Recruiting troops, upgrades for said troops etc) -Economic development (Building roads, new cities, raising population etc) - Different policies (Raising pensions, legalizing gay marriage etc) - A sense of advancement(The towns visibly updating, units getting better looking gear) - A good difficulty curve, where you don't just snowball during the end game. - Preferably medieval, or earlier.

    While I'm aware that such a game probably doesn't exist, something like Crusader Kings 3, Europa Universalis 4 would be incredible.

    I've already played Age of civilizations 2, and all the civilizations
