    4 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 194)

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 05:07 AM PDT

    Finally Friday! :) Welcome back to my weekly recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and - as something new - 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 new Pokémon-inspired monster catcher RPG, an adventure action RPG, a fun RPG dungeon-crawler, and a casual action roguelike, the last three of which are premium games.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 194 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:

    Nexomon: Extinction [Game Size: 1.4 GB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Monster catcher / Adventure - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Nexomon: Extinction is a solid Pokémon-like monster catcher RPG with a large 2D open-word to explore, a humorous story and characters, great monster designs, and at least 30 hours of gameplay.

    After selecting a starting Nexomon, we set out on a journey full of quests, side-quests, and more than 300 monsters to battle and catch. As we progress, our monsters level up to evolve and grow stronger, and although the game is somewhat grindy, there is also a lot to explore.

    The turn-based battle system isn't incredibly in-depth, but the fun story full of mysteries more than makes up for that and is likely to immediately draw in any Pokémon fan. Both the music and art-style are also top-notch, and the controls are decent enough to not cause any major frustrations.

    The first chapter of Nexomon: Extinction is free to play, with the rest unlocking through a $2.99 iAP. There are additional iAPs up to $24.99, but these only provide items you can relatively easily acquire through normal gameplay, making them entirely optional.

    Undead Horde [Total Game Size: 412 MB] ($6.99)

    Genre: Adventure / Action - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by Alex Sem:

    Undead Horde is a humorous action-adventure RPG similar to the old PC title Overlord, in which we control a mighty necromancer executing his revenge against humanity using armies of undead creatures.

    We control our characters using a d-pad to move and buttons to swing our weapon and cast various spells. Throughout our adventure, we traverse the open land, talk to NPCs, and complete quests that require us to engage in battles against numerous human hordes. Our character is weak and feeble on his own, so to succeed in his quest, he needs to constantly raise dead warriors and command them to wreak havoc upon the neighborhood. Since this ability to raise units from the dead has limited usage, we most often need to carefully decide which units to choose for each task.

    As the story progresses, we improve our health and mana capacity, find better weapons, learn new powerful spells, increase the undead summoning limit, and unlock new unit types with different characteristics to help deal with greater challenges.

    The game offers a long campaign with lots of dialogues and side-missions, but for some reason, I never felt a strong attachment to the events unfolding before my eyes, and most quests boiled down to defeating anything in sight, which quickly became repetitive and boring.

    Undead Horde is a premium game without ads or iAPs selling for $6.99 on Android and $5.99 on iOS. Its cute art-style, colorful visual effects, and atmospheric audio demonstrate great production quality, which I'm sure any fan of well-made mobile games will appreciate.

    The Enchanted Cave 2 [Game Size: 133 MB] ($5.99)

    Genre: RPG / Dungeon-crawler - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by JBMessin:

    The Enchanted Cave 2 is a fantastic turn-based roguelike sequel to Dustin Auxier's first dungeon crawler that was inspired by Lufia II's Ancient Cave dungeon and Tower of the Sorcerer, an old PC puzzler.

    The game starts us out in a small village near an enchanted cave full of tourists eager to delve deep underground for legendary treasure and wealth. The catch is that we can only leave the cave using Escape Wings we first have to find and don't get to keep anything but rare artifacts and gold. Everything else, such as weapons, armor, and ingredients used for alchemy and enchanting, is lost when we leave. Thankfully, the further down the cave we go, the more shops and alchemy forges we'll find, which we use to improve our chances of defeating the cave's many monsters.

    Starting out, we pick one of nine playable characters, each with different stats. When leveling up, however, we gain skill points that we have full freedom over how to distribute on a skill tree that branches into warrior, mage, and alchemist skills and stat bonuses. Besides the main story, the game features both Labyrinth and Monster Lair game modes, and a wacky mode where we play as a slime.

    The challenge of risk vs reward is ever-present – especially during combat, and while we can use alchemy, enchanting, or sheer strength to our advantage, the difficulty eventually increases due to the cave's changing biomes that are typically associated with an element. For example, all that armor we enchanted with protection against ice attacks might be useless against the fire attacks awaiting us in the next biome.

    The Enchanted Cave 2 is a $5.99 premium title and an easy recommendation for fans of dungeon crawler RPGs.

    Gun Rounds [Game Size: 38 MB] ($2.99)

    Genre: Action / Roguelike / Dungeon-carwler / Shooter - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by Alex Sem:

    Gun Rounds is a fun turn-based roguelike action dungeon-crawler in which we use a variety of guns to fight increasingly stronger enemies across four different worlds.

    On each turn, we pick a weapon from our arsenal, drag the screen to carefully aim at the enemies, and then release to shoot. Any enemies left standing shoot deadly projects back at us that we need to block by tapping the screen at just the right time. We have limited health and ammo but can replenish the latter if we manage to time our blocks correctly. Alternatively, we can skip a turn to instantly reload our weapon, although this leaves us vulnerable to enemy attacks.

    As we progress through the levels, we get to open special chests with new weapons that differ greatly by the type of attack they perform, the damage they deal, and the amount of ammo they consume when used. Interestingly, since we can only hold four weapons at a time, we need to carefully decide which arms to carry further into the dungeon. Ideally, our arsenal should include both devastating area-based attacks and something more precise with lower ammo consumption.

    The game features a simple two-color art style with unlockable palette variants, energetic 8-bit music, and simple one-finger controls that take some time to master but end up being very comfortable for quick sessions. Although the levels are always the same apart from slight enemy variations, the different weapons found in chests and the upgrades we buy in shops add a decent amount of replayability.

    Gun Rounds is a $2.99 premium game with zero ads or iAPs. Despite its simplicity, it becomes strangely addictive and serves as a great time killer for those fond of clever reaction-based mobile games.

    Like the title says but I'm not looking for any games that constantly shove ads down your throat.

    Gumslinger - It's not live multiplayer, so how does it work?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 08:26 AM PDT

    I found the game Gumslinger the other day and have played it quite some. I'm just really puzzled about how the battles work. The duel starts when I draw my gun. So the actions of the other player must be recorded before, and just replayed, right? So when I move, the other players actions is replayed.... But when did the other player play the duel?! And he wouldn't have any idea where I am on the screen?

    I don't know if I'm just stupid. I hope you understand what I mean about the duels in this game. I'm so confused how the game works if not everyone is a bot? That would make sense, but I think it's multiplayer?

    Edit: i found some info

    Let's start with the multiplayer. It's not realtime PvP, it is (as we call it) a PvPb game. Player vs Player bots. The match making are looking for opponents based on live players' data, stats and history, and there are a bunch of different parameters used in every new duel.

    Who else gets dubious offers from weird "companies" promising to promote your game? I do...

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 12:47 PM PDT

    ...and it bothers me somehow. I am one indie-developer from Germany and want to bring joy and my fantasy world Edegard to this world with my games. Maybe some might think my products were a bit dull in comparison to the other games produced and offered in the Google Play Store, but is it really helping anyone if I can seek my own games via Google and find entries in "Stores" I never provided them too? I wouldn't complain about this free advertising by those sites, if all of them would handle the games with care, but seeing an "unlimited coins modification" as a download on a strange site for a game I made without any currency at all is a bit weird to see, if you allow me to be honest.

    And in addition to this free promotion by others I never asked for help or even knew I receive mails from people promising a quick fortune if I would -- at least I assume I would have to -- pay a small or big amount of cash to make them create some sort of attention for my games.

    I don't want that. I want my games to be promoted by the mouth of word for their quality and maybe even uniqueness in some cases. Are you feeling the same for your game(s) as well and/or are you receiving these mails as well, even of they are mean to no harm at all?

    [REQUEST] looking for game from ~2014

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 12:13 PM PDT

    I think the original game was called Rotate, but I can't find it anywhere. Looking for that exact game or a similar one.

    It was a mindless game where the object was to progress a ball along an endless path while collecting dots that increased your score.

    The path scrolled from top to bottom, and it was scattered with spinning wheels that varied in size.

    The ball would stick to these spinning wheels as the screen slowly scrolled downward, and you moved along the path by tapping the screen and launching the ball toward the next spinning wheel.

    Really craving the game. Any help is appreciated!

    [REQUEST] Top down scrolling shooter like Sky Force Reloaded

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 07:28 AM PDT

    I've not found top down scroller that comes anywhere close to sky force reloaded. Graphics and gameplay are stellar, great power ups and progression, challenging without being unplayable.

    Have you found anything that's close to this? Best I could find so far is Air Attack 2. But still, it is not as good.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2021 04:13 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a simple formula 1 game with qualifying and race just like how it is in the real world. I don't want to complete "challenges", build "reputation" and all that mumbo-jumbo. Just race and done. I tried real racing 3, but it takes ages to get to the level where I can actually race.
