    5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 195)

    Posted: 29 Oct 2021 04:26 AM PDT

    Happy last-Friday-of-October, my fellow mobile gamers :) These are my latest recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that was covered on MiniReview this week. I hope you'll enjoy it.

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

    This episode includes a fun twin-stick shooter, a truly old-school roguelike RPG, a silly point and click adventure, a new Archero-like action game, and a great casual physics-based puzzler by the developer of the Kirby Nintendo games.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 195 weeks ago here.

    Let's get to the games:

    Towelfight 2 [Game Size: 101 MB] (free)

    Genre: Shooter / Twin-stick / Action - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Towelfight 2 is a fun twin-stick shooter with a huge dungeon-crawling map full of monsters and 10 unique bosses that we must blow up by literally shooting wacky animals out of our face.

    What truly sets the game apart from other twin-stick shooters is that we don't acquire new weapons as we progress. Instead, we unlock and customize a clip of six animal bullets that we constantly cycle through as we shoot, such as goats that fling exploding tin cans when they die, owls that grab enemies and smash them against stuff, and much more. Meanwhile, gold is used to buy new projectiles, keys that open locks, and other useful upgrades.

    We're free to explore the dungeon as we see fit, but each room features a bunch of random enemies that we must defeat before we can move on to one of the next rooms. If we die, we restart at the first room and lose half of our gold.

    From the art-style to the character dialogues, the game oozes of that great sense of humor Butterscotch Shenanigans have become known for. Strangely, however, we can only shoot up, down, left, and right, which means we have to move our character around much more than in traditional twin-stick shooters. Although this tricky control setup is deliberately implemented to make the game more challenging, I can't help but feel it will negatively impact the overall experience for some players.

    Towelfight 2 Monetizes through a single $2.99 iAP to reduce the resurrection cost by 50%, enable cloud save, and receive a coin-doubler. Ultimately, the simple monetization, great humor, and overall polished gameplay experience makes it a must-try for any fan of twin-stick shooters.

    Pathos: Nethack Codex [Total Game Size: 103 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Roguelike - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape + Portrait

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by JBMessin:

    Pathos: Nethack Codex is a challenging roguelike inspired by the 1987 game "Nethack" that succeeds at creating a simple yet effective mobile-optimized interface without all the keyboard overlays and shortcuts that make most Nethack ports difficult to play on small screens.

    We begin our journey by creating a character, which involves choosing or creating our very own custom class based on an impressive list of options, and potentially rerolling our starting stats. In true Nethack fashion, each character also has a pet that can be mounted for faster travel if it is large enough. Once we're set and ready to go, we venture down procedurally generated floors, learning from our mistakes each time we eventually perish in the hopes that we can progress further the next time.

    Success in Pathos depends on ever so carefully avoiding lethal encounters, but when combat can't be avoided, we simply tap an enemy to attack it, with spells and wands providing variation in the form of attacks that for example bounce off of walls. Each floor features a seemingly never-ending variety of weapons, armors, spells, and consumables that are locked in chests, hidden behind traps, or dropped by enemies. And as is common for the genre, most of these items are of course cursed and need to be identified before they can be used.

    Nethack has been in development for decades and Pathos succeeds in delivering a staggering amount of content all while being absolutely free. There is even a separate game-mode that has us explore a large overworld if we want a break from the traditional dungeon-crawling.

    The Procession to Calvary [Game Size: 644 MB] ($4.49)

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

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review by Pete McD:

    The Procession To Calvary is a delightfully silly point-and-click adventure game that mixes classic renaissance artwork with Monty Python-style humor to great effect.

    Our unnamed protagonist is a war-obsessed soldier who just can't believe she isn't allowed to kill anyone anymore now that the holy war has ended. Due to a loophole in the law, however, the king unwittingly allows us to go on one final mission to kill Heavenly Peter, a religious leader in a foreign land. Along the way, we enter a talent contest, steal a severed head, and aid a certain 'street magician' in his various stunts, such as turning water into wine and resurrecting himself from the dead.

    The game's visuals are entirely made up of 2D collages of classic paintings. The cut-and-paste nature of the animations is deliberately crude and adds to the humor of the game. It's a simple concept that works perfectly to create a surreal world with equally surreal logic.

    A common criticism of many point-and-click games is that the puzzles are obscure and illogical. The Procession To Calvary attempts to sidestep this by embracing the madness, and on the whole, this humorous approach works well, although I still ran into some frustrating puzzles. As a neat addition, we can even use our sword to solve certain puzzles, or to cheat so we don't have to solve them at all – although doing so may not end well for us.

    The controls are occasionally irritating, such as when unintentionally moving our character when trying to access the inventory. That aside, anyone with a sense of humor who likes old-school point-and-click adventures will find plenty to enjoy in this $4.49 premium title.

    Legends of Libra [Game Size: 212 MB] (free)

    Genre: Action / Shooter / Archero-like - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Legends of Libra is a fun Archero-like action shooter with co-op multiplayer and a unique tower defense game-mode that complements the normal level-based progression.

    Normal levels have us make our way through a series of rooms full of enemies or survive waves of enemies spawning in the same room. Just like in Archero, our character only shoots when we don't move, and when we level up from killing enemies, we get to pick between one of three upgrades that last until we die or finish the level.

    Between levels, we grow stronger by equipping and leveling up loot, or by spending gold on permanent talent upgrades that provide small stat boosts. For better or worse, it's also the type of game to introduce login rewards, daily quests, and lucky wheel spins in exchange for watching an ad.

    The game does a decent job at creating a nice difficulty flow by having lengthy levels be followed by shorter and easier levels. Similarly, the swift pace at which we progress through biomes that introduce new enemies with unique attacks keeps levels from growing too repetitive. The tower defense and co-op game modes also add a breath of fresh air to the genre and are fairly enjoyable. Unfortunately, there's no way to play with friends, making the multiplayer a lot less meaningful.

    Legends of Libra monetizes through iAPs for a premium currency that can be spent on revive runes, gold, or loot chests. Although progressing as a free player is relatively easy, the energy system that limits us to four runs unless we wait or pay up will frustrate some players.

    Although I fear that paywalls will be introduced in the future, the polished core gameplay loop currently makes it a great choice for anyone who enjoyed Archero.

    Part Time UFO [Game Size: 73 MB] ($3.99)

    Genre: Casual / Physics / Puzzle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by CaptainQQ:

    Part Time UFO is an adorable casual puzzle game where we amass a fortune by completing odd jobs like making a salad, catching criminals, and herding livestock.

    The game has us take control of an interstellar jobseeker who finds employment at various locations on earth, like factories, farms, and restaurants. Using our UFO claw, we do everything from building colosseums in Rome to assembling broken artwork at museums, all while trying to complete the secret objectives that are shown through pictures at the start of each level. Since these objectives are rather difficult, perfectly completing a job may take a couple of tries.

    Part Time UFO is made by HAL Laboratory, the same company that developed the Kirby games for Nintendo. This explains the Kirby references, the similar art and sound effects, and the overall high level of polish that can only come from an experienced developer. Although charming, the soundtrack is somewhat repetitive, with each level introducing a differently-themed remix of the same song. Fortunately, the short levels prevent it from getting annoying.

    Part Time UFO costs $3.99, with no additional iAPs or ads. This means all the in-game unlockables can only be purchased with money earned through gameplay. Some of the UFO outfits even change how our UFO operates, like giving it a stronger claw or faster flying speed, so it's worth unlocking everything.

    Part Time UFO is a near-perfect bite-sized gem of a puzzle game that anyone can enjoy - and it's way more fun than a real job.

    Avabel 'classic' is so horrible

    Posted: 28 Oct 2021 10:13 PM PDT

    I need to get this off my chest so i'm making a post about it here. I heard from this subreddit a while ago that Asobimo was releasing Avabel Classic in late October (it was released today). I loved playing the old Avabel so I was excited for this.
    Their pre-registration website said they were bringing back the old Avabel from years ago... This Avabel 'Classic' game doesn't even remind me of the old Avabel players used to love. Problems below:
    1. They didn't bring back the old creator class
    2. You can't buy any potions from NPCs
    3. They didn't bring back Job exp
    4. Weapons and armours don't even drop from monsters you kill, so players have been stuck with their basic gear since starting
    5. The old skill system didn't even come back, they still have that new thing they have
    6. They didn't bring back multiple channels, they have one channel for all players so everyone is stealing kills from each other with the limited number of monsters on the map.

    TLDR: Asobimo falsely advertised, Avabel Classic is more like Avabel Remastered

    "AAA" Long-Play Games that Don't Require Internet?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    I have a flight coming up and am looking for a game or two for my Tab S7. I'll have my PS4 controller with me, and don't mind paying a bit. Mainly don't have to worry about having to authenticate the game via internet when launching and playing

    Games I already have ready to go:

    • GTA:SA

    • Civ 6 (although I think this requires a connection to launch)

    • Stardew Valley

    • OpenMicroWave (haven't set it up yet though)

    Any suggestions and genres would be appreciated!

    Games like Beach Buggy Blitz

    Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:40 AM PDT

    Hey, I'm looking for games like beach buggy blitz where you have to drive as long as you can and add to your time by passing through check points. Beach Buggy Blitz is my favorite android game but I maxed out everything that's why I'm looking for similar games. I already tried outrun 2006 on PPSSPP but it's not running so well.

    Maybe you guys have some other suggestions.

    Looking for Texas Holdem Gsme NO ADS Offline

    EDIT: Sorry, meant GAME in title not GSME. smh

    I'm looking for a basic texas holdem game for android that contains NO ADS. Playing offline against AI. Even a video poker type game would suffice.

    Whatever happened to days when you could buy a game and just play it? I don't care if it costs a few bucks to actually "buy" it. Just no ads or in app purchases.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Trying to buy Pascal Wager

    Posted: 29 Oct 2021 04:22 AM PDT

    Hello Folks,

    I live in Brazil. Yesterday got a message from the app Appsales informing Pascal's Wager was cheaper. So I clicked on the link, it showed up as costing 27.99 BRL (Brazilian reais), and I had 28.45 BRL as Google play credit, i.e., I had the money to buy it. I clicked on it, touched the fingerprint reader and it was refused. Trying a few more times on the tablet, no change. Same on computer. Got in touch with Google, and they told me it was a dev issue. The app is available in Brazil and for my device (Samsung Tab Active3).

    Has anyone gone through that? Did you manage to solve it? How?

    Arcade / strategy / level system game without ads

    Posted: 28 Oct 2021 01:06 PM PDT

    I need a game like the title says. An arcade-style strategy game with leveling system, and NO ads (just too tired of them). The problem is, most of the strategy games dont have levels but a "pernament world"... And mobile games pretty rarely dont have ads. Which game would you suggest?
