    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 187)

    Posted: 27 Aug 2021 06:01 AM PDT

    Happy Friday, my friends :) These are my latest recommendations based on the most interesting games I played last week. Hope you'll enjoy them.

    Also, Aptoide gave me a really cool opportunity to link to these games on their store too and even sponsor my ordinary Youtube video tomorrow. If you wanna help, giving that video a watch would be huge for me :)

    This episode includes an awesome retro RPG, a neat sci-fi adventure game, and one of the more interesting drifting racing games on mobile.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 187 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:

    Exiled Kingdoms [Game Size: 135 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Retro / Isometric / Indie - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Exiled Kingdoms is something as rare as a huge open-world singleplayer retro action RPG that continues to receive major updates even 6 years after its initial release.

    I know some will be put off by the art-style, but if you can look past that, this is one of the largest and most well-put-together retro RPGs on mobile. And the game gives us a ton of freedom over how we want to explore as well, with small things like our decision to help or ignore various NPCs around town actually impacting our progression and reputation around the world.

    There's a total of 4 distinct character classes, 5 difficulty levels, and 6 types of attributes that we gradually level up to customize our character. As we start exploring the world to complete quests and kill creatures, we also slowly start gathering loot and items to equip, and our character levels up so we can train new offensive and defensive skills.

    The controls may feel a bit strange if you haven't played any oldschool isometric RPGs before, but you eventually get used to them and there's also full Bluetooth controller support!

    There is no gacha, energy systems, ads, or microtransactions in Exiled Kingdoms. Instead, the game is free to play for the first 30 areas up to level 8, after which a single one-time $3.99 iAP unlocks the full game and all its 146 areas, 97 quests, and two extra character classes.

    It's a bit of a gem of a mobile game if you like the oldschool RPG genre.

    Morphite [Total Game Size: 526 MB] (free)

    Genre: Sci-fi / Schooter / Adventure - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Morphite is a story-driven sci-fi adventure-RPG that takes place in a vast open space that we can explore exactly as we see fit.

    From a huge world map, we can pick any planet to land on and then move around it in a first-person perspective to scan plants and creatures using a scanning device, and kill any hostile enemies using our weapons.

    The data we get from analyzing objects on each planet can then be sold to vendors around space for a currency we can use to upgrade our spacesuit, plane, and gun - all of which helps us reach new planets.

    Heck, we can even land on space stations and walk around inside of them to explore or steal resources from vendors. Although that definitely upsets the NPCs and so we then have to escape before they start shooting us. And as silly as that might be, I'm just impressed to see how much content this game actually packs.

    The 3D models of Mortphite's low-poly art-style aren't super detailed, but the gameplay is fun and the music, sound effects, and voiceovers for the story create a pretty immersive experience.

    There's a free ad-supported version of Mortphite that you can play for the first few missions, and the full game then unlocks for $4.99.

    Overall, while the game could use just a bit more polish, it's definitely worth taking for a spin if you haven't played it yet since those who do end up enjoying the game seem to really fall in love with its very large variety in species, creatures, quests, and even mini-games.

    FR Legends [Game Size: 186 MB] (free)

    Genre: Racing / Drifting / Indie - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    FR Legends is a love letter to drifting racing games with a huge amount of available customizations and car upgrades. The entire game is essentially a sandbox as well, which means you can play any type of drifting race at any time, both singleplayer and versus other players online in real-time multiplayer.

    After selecting one of the 7 different game-modes, we pick a map and try to gain the highest possible score by following the rules of the game mode very closely. And what makes the gameplay both exciting and tricky is that modes have us score points by drifting at certain spots of the level, while driving straight ahead or preventing counter drifts at certain other spots.

    Depending on how well we do, we earn points for our fluency, average speed, drift angle, transition perfection, and much more. And, the more points we score, the more currency we get, which we can then use to repair our vehicle, buy new vehicles, or upgrade every single part of our vehicle.

    And when I say every part, I really mean it. There have got to be at least 25 different customization and upgrade options in this game.

    The multiplayer is also very active, which honestly surprised me since the game isn't exactly brand new anymore. But I think it has to do with the fact that those who enjoy this game end up playing it for a very long time as there aren't many great alternatives out there.

    The controls may take a bit to get used to as with any racing game, but there are some decent control settings to customize it a bit.

    FR Legends monetizes through iAPs for more currency, incentivized ads, and packs up to $19.99 for unlocking most things at once. The monetization does allow paying players to unlock fancier cars faster, but the game can still easily be enjoyed as a free player :)

    Looking for massively multiplayer base building game

    Posted: 27 Aug 2021 10:34 AM PDT

    Recently I've been on a kick playing some of the popular base building games like Rise of Kingdoms, Lords Mobile, and Infinity Kingdom, but couldn't really stick to any of them.

    I enjoy the massively multiplayer mechanics like server vs server / kingdom vs kingdom and the overall sense of progression, even if I do have to pay a little bit (not a massive whale or anything near it).

    I like the overall art style of Rise of Kingdoms and the civilization theme of it, the multiple minigames of Lords Mobile, and the immortal building mechanics from Infinity Kingdom (I played a lot of AFK Arena which was similar) but they all had their own annoying quirks.

    While some of these games are oftentimes regarded as pay to win trash, are there any fun alternatives? I've played some clash of clans but I do enjoy the world map mechanic of the other games much more.

    Posted: 27 Aug 2021 11:58 AM PDT

    Is there anyway android can play local multiplayer games without the need both people have to be connected to the same wifi network.

    Like how the Nintendo DS and 3ds do it. Those systems can play local multiplayer without any internet at all.

    Looking for a game

    Posted: 27 Aug 2021 05:02 AM PDT

    I remember playing a couple of years ago a game where you set some sort of industry on the back of a giant moving robot. You had to manufacture and sell so many parts, and then the robot would move to another area, so you could manufacture more. You had to place machinery in a certain sequence so the product the market wanted would come out right.

    Does it ring a bell to anyone?

    [Request] Looking for RPG games

    Posted: 27 Aug 2021 04:53 AM PDT

    I'm looking for an rpg game for android similar to shakes and fidget, bite fight, the west, gladiatus. I need the game to focus more on the hero and not base building. I'll be playing mostly at work so I don't want anything 3D, I need to be able to pick it up or close it at any time.

    [Question] How Marvel Future Revolution? Is it worth a play?

    Posted: 26 Aug 2021 08:58 PM PDT

    I'm just wondering if it's a fun game to play or it's a least worth playing a bit. It looks really fun but I'd rather ask, someone who has played it first hand.
