| 5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 197) Posted: 12 Nov 2021 06:29 AM PST Happy Friday, my fellow mobile gamers :) And welcome to episode 197 of my weekly roundups of the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week. Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3 This episode includes a truly old-but-still-somewhat-gold RPG, a neat stealth adventure game, a relaxing simulation sandbox game ported from PC, a fun RPG indie take on the brick breaker genre, and a tactical resource-management RPG. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 197 weeks ago here. Let's get to the games:Battleheart [Game Size: 85 MB] (free)Genre: RPG / Strategy / Action - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Battleheart is an old level-based fantasy RPG where we build a team of four heroes and battle it out in real-time battles against monsters and bosses that come at us from all sides. During combat, we control our troops by selecting one hero at a time and then dragging towards an enemy or somewhere on the ground to move or attack. Since enemies typically target our weakest heroes first, we must constantly move our tanks and warriors around the arena-like map to attack incoming enemies, creating a fun and hectic gameplay experience. Additionally, although heroes attack automatically, they each have multiple abilities that we trigger manually, which means there's always plenty to do during combat. The game features lots of fun heroes that we hire through an Inn, a decent amount of loot that can be upgraded and equipped, and more than 30 levels full of enemies and bosses. The cartoony art-style is typical for early 2011 mobile games, and everything from the simple UI to the animations and cute 2D characters is decently polished. And although almost every level looks the same, that's quickly forgotten in the heat of the challenging battles. The game's biggest issue arises when multiple heroes have been moved close to each other, which makes selecting the hero we want to select very difficult. Apart from that, the controls work well. Battleheart is a $2.99 premium game on iOS and completely free on Android, without ads or iAPs. With a decent amount of content to dive into, neat simplistic RPG elements, and a highly engaging gameplay experience, Battleheart is a must-try for any RPG fan. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here République [Total Game Size: 3.9 GB] (Free Trial)Genre: Adventure / Story-Driven - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: République is a compelling story-based 3D stealth adventure game centered around Hope, a student at a school in a mysterious dystopian world run by a dictator known as The Headmaster. We play as an unknown person on the other end of Hope's smartphone that has hacked into the school's security system, which means we can control cameras, unlock doors, and much more as the game progresses. The facility is full of patrolling guards, and as with all stealth games, the trick is to keep out of sight as much as possible. We learn more about this strange world by finding information as we go, and much of the story is told by piecing glimpses of the plot together. The guards' AI is unfortunately quite basic, especially in the first episode where they all stick to the same route. In later episodes, there are guards that have less predictable routes, which increases the difficulty. The controls are well-suited for touch screens, although Hope occasionally doesn't go where we want her to, or gets stuck behind objects. Bluetooth controllers are also supported. The game looks excellent and does a great job at creating an atmosphere fitting for its universe. Especially the levels are well designed, although it is a bit strange that all guards have identical features. Apart from the fourth episode, where the game takes an odd departure into survival horror, the story is also strong and interesting. République is free to play until episode 2, after which a single $6.99 iAP unlocks the remaining episodes. Having to experience the entire game through security cameras is such a brilliant world-building decision for a story set in a surveillance state, and overall, it's a very enjoyable stealth game that is absolutely worth playing. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here Townscaper [Game Size: 84 MB] ($4.99)Genre: Simulation / Casual / Sandbox - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Little tl;dr review by Yousef: Townscaper is a beautiful and incredibly unique simulation 3D sandbox where we build entire cities through simple taps on the screen that triggers an algorithm to create unique structures. We start out with a completely empty ocean. Tapping anywhere spawns a 1x1 road, which we can tap again to create a house. As we continue tapping existing structures or empty spaces, the house and surrounding road tiles can turn into anything from bridges and stairways to backyards and entire floating cities that pop into existence thanks to the algorithm. Continuing like this, we ultimately end up with a vast and beautiful city. The lack of control over what exactly gets built makes the game exciting and unpredictable, and since there is no overall objective, it is truly as much of an experience as it is a traditional game. We can, however, customize the color of the structures being built using an expansive color palette, or even select from various styles that change how the game looks. The cherry on top is the free camera movement that allows us to navigate and rotate our creation in whichever way we want. The main downsides are that the tutorial is hidden in the settings instead of introduced at the start, and that the skewed and curvy grid-based layout may lead to miss-clicks depending on what perspective we view the city in. Not to mention that due to the game's endless nature and lack of proper graphics settings, it may not run well on lower-end phones. Townscaper is a $4.99 premium game with no ads or iAPs. The calming theme and visually pleasing art-style make for an awesome experience that is only held back by its potential to become boring during long play-sessions. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here Brick Breaker Dungeon [Game Size: 72 MB] (free)Genre: Arcade / Casual - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Some (you can look away at any time, but need to aim properly) tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Brick Breaker Dungeon is a fun indie brick breaker game with a unique RPG twist made by the developer of Dungeon Cards. Like in traditional brick breakers, blocks appear at the top of the screen, while we aim and launch projectiles from the bottom of the screen. After our turn, the blocks move one step closer and new ones spawn at the top until we've completed all of the level's stages. Part of what makes Brick Breaker Dungeon different, however, are the many interesting types of blocks that force us to change our strategy. For example, some blocks put our projectiles on fire when hit, which we can use to our advantage to put wooden blocks on fire. We earn gold from playing normal dungeon levels, and successfully completing a level rewards us with a key used to play treasure dungeons that hold much more gold and gems. And this is where the RPG elements come in, as gold and gems can be spent on buying helpful spells, acquiring artifacts with special powers, or upgrading our core stats to permanently increase our health, number of projectiles, and projectile damage. The short play-sessions combined with the nice pace at which we unlock spells and upgrades makes for an enjoyable gameplay experience, and the fact that acquiring five keys lets us unlock a treasure dungeon creates a constant motivation to play just a few more rounds. The main downside is that it eventually grows rather repetitive. Brick Breaker Dungeon monetizes through ads that are shown very rarely, and completely optional iAPs starting at $1.99 to remove the ads and acquire gold and gems faster. The unique yet familiar gameplay experience and neat pixel art-style make it a great option for any fan of brick breakers or casual RPGs. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here Tales of Illyria: Fallen Knight [Game Size: 1.1 GB] ($0.99)Genre: RPG / Adventure - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by AlexSem: Tales of Illyria: Fallen Knight is an open-world resource-management tactical RPG that takes us on an epic journey where every step we take can lead to fame and fortune, or our untimely demise. We follow the story of a fugitive aristocrat seeking justice after being falsely accused of murdering his own family. The gameplay consists of traveling between cities to complete various tasks using gold, influence, and our character's skills. Each journey takes many in-game days and requires food and water in sufficient quantities, which means there's plenty of time for enemies, random events, and unfavorable weather conditions to hinder our progress and damage our party. Most encounters present us with moral decisions that can be resolved any way we see fit, although choosing to be good or evil has its consequences further into the game. Combat happens on a grid where our characters and our enemies take turns attacking, defending, buffing, casting spells, and switching positions. Characters fight on their own based on preset behaviors, but if we are not satisfied with how the battle is going, we can pause at any moment to issue new orders, which means we can enjoy the game's fast-paced combat without losing control over the field. Meanwhile, the rich variety of moves and spells we learn and level up introduce many interesting tactical possibilities. The game features a unique visual style where every item and character is carefully hand-drawn. But most impressively, the developers have created a huge fantasy world with deep lore, rich history, and an immense amount of story events that will occupy fans of complex adventure RPGs for many hours. Tales of Illyria: Fallen Knight is a $1 premium game with iAPs to buy additional gold, premium skills, and equipment, although none of these are needed to beat the game. It's a true masterpiece that represents a type of game that is rarely found these days, so if you haven't played it yet, be sure to check it out.

| Looking for a game worth investing time in Posted: 12 Nov 2021 12:46 AM PST I'm decided to invest some time in a game but I'm confused what game is actually worth investing time in. I've never really done mobile gaming other than playing pubG and hence I'm looking for a game that is fun and interesting to play and that would help me kill time whenever I'm free! Please suggest some good games that I could download on Android. I own a OnePlus mobile. [link] [comments] | ||

| Drop some of y'all favorite puzzle games Posted: 12 Nov 2021 03:06 AM PST Paid or free doesn't matter I'd like something that relies more on deduction/logic rather than reflex (ex: Cut the Rope, it has many puzzles where timing is crucial even though you already know the solution) or trial and error (ex: Flow Free, I think this is a middle ground, you can deduce the solution, but I think you also need some trial and error to see if your solution works or not). Also a plus if they have nice visual design (not important) Some of my favorite: Einstein's Riddle Logic Puzzles Fill-a-Pix (I've tried all Conceptis puzzle games as they're exactly what I'm looking for, but a lot of them are above my brain processing power lol) [link] [comments] | ||
| Game playing in window, and can't figure out how to disable it Posted: 11 Nov 2021 07:33 PM PST Device: Samsung Galaxy S9+ Game: Knights of Pen & Paper +1 As the title says, I'm playing a game and it seems to be playing in some sort of "windowed" mode with a small strip of my home screen above it, and a bigger, row sized, strip of my home screen below it. Tapping in either of these areas brings me straight back to my home screen. Which, is really easy to do on accident. I've looked for an option to disable it, but haven't found anything. I tried removing the game from the game launcher, it still opened in the window. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, and it's still windowed. Any ideas on how to remove it?

| I want to develop a game demo as a proof of concept, what is the best way to approach this? Posted: 11 Nov 2021 09:41 PM PST Hello! I'm a designer and have an idea for a smarphone game, but I don't program or know how to make an android game. I have the idea, assets, objectives and all the details, but I need help with transfering the idea on paper into a game demo and if it works maybe launch a more complete game. How do I ask or search for programers? For example: "I'm looking for someone that can program in 'this' game engine" In short, I have a game idea that would like to have it made into a game, but how do I search and ask for the correct people to work with and develop the project? Thank you and have a nice day. [link] [comments] | ||
