    Elemental Kingdoms Review

    By

    Back in January, I reviewed a game called Lies of Astaroth. I liked it quite a bit despite there being a few issues with progression, energy management, and a bothersome menu system. Why am I bringing that up? Because Elemental Kingdoms is the exact same game. No, really, it's the exact same game as Lies of Astaroth. The only difference is a visual overhaul and some new audio.That's not to say that there's anything inherently shady going on here, though. After doing a little digging, I was able to find out that Perfect World and iFree Studio have actually been working together on Elemental Kingdoms; so while the original developer's name isn't on "the box," they were still very much a part of the game's creation. At the very least, it's not something to worry about from a legal standpoint."Elemental Kingdoms is every bit the mobile CCG as its almost-twin. Players gather cards, create decks, enhance their favorites by sacrificing lowbies and a little cash, and then square off against NPCs and other players. There's something of a story here as well, which requires steadily fighting through several different areas of increasing difficulty in order to advance. Each section of the world is loosely themed as well (swamp, tundra, etc.), and the cards used by enemies tend to match their elements, which is something worth considering before blindly jumping into a boss fight.

    Deer Hunter 2014 Review

    By

    I've never been big on hunting games. It's not that I take issue with gunning down (mostly) defenseless virtual animals with ridiculously overpowered military hardware, although it is pretty ridiculous all things considered. It's just that I've never been able to get into them. And yet, oddly enough, I've found myself really getting into Deer Hunter 2014 and its simple yet oddly strategic gunplay.Deer Hunter 2014 is basically a collection of simple hunts for various types of wild animals. It's a bit less involved than most other hunting sims of course - most likely to cater to the pick-up-and-play mobile audience. Rather than tracking targets through the underbrush across acres of simulated woods, players simply strafe left and right across a limited area to get a better view of their prey. Instead of focusing on the chase, it's all about the kill shot. Where the animal is hit (head, heart, lungs, etc) can make all the difference."The money earned from each hunt can then be used to upgrade weapons or purchase new ones, which doesn't just make one a more efficient killing machine. Hunts have recommended loadouts (which can make success difficult if the advice isn't followed) and the occasional requirement that will prevent players from taking part until their gear is up to snuff, so no upgrades means no progress. Fortunately there are a number of different kinds of hunts to take on, including the more typical Hunting Series, the almost arcade-like Contract Hunt, and Trophy Hunts that can unlock new regions. There's almost always something to do to earn a bit of cash towards that next scope or rifle barrel.

    Gang Lords Review

    By

    So much of Gang Lords seems derivative. Players collect a menagerie of character cards, upgrade and evolve their forces, and create a team of the most powerful gangsters they can find so that they can decimate the opposition. It's a lot of the kinds of things we've seen before, really. The thing is, while it's a familiar setup, the actual gameplay feels refreshingly complex.The management side of things in Gang Lords should feel pretty familiar to many freemium gamers. Cards can be leveled up in the usual manner: by sacrificing low-end feeders and spending a little in-game cash. Evolutions require fully leveled cards and special supplemental evo cards. Other players can be recruited for a fight so that their Leaders can join in the fun. And, of course, there's an energy mechanic that prevents players from picking too many fights at once."The fights are something else entirely, though. Two gangs square off on opposing sides of the screen and players have to make careful use of their characters in order to come out on top. There's an admittedly familiar rock-paper-scissors mechanic at play that allows Green cards to trump Blue, Blue to trump Red, and so on; but there's a lot more to it than that. Each gangster has a set number of turns they have to wait between attacks, and this value can vary greatly. At the same time, players can sacrifice a card's turn to "support" another, giving it an attack/defense boost and knocking one turn off their activation counter. It's this support mechanic that makes a huge difference in how one tackles each fight.

    Heroes of Camelot Review

    By

    Kabam's latest free-to-play venture is both an amalgamation and distillation of a lot of other iOS collectible card games. Heroes of Camelot has the looks. It has the gameplay. Perhaps most importantly, it has the cards. However, while it seems like the perfect recipe for a great CCG on paper, the results are surprisingly uninteresting.The three key elements to Heroes of Camelot are the cards, the quests, and the battles. The cards can be placed into teams of four, with a maximum of three teams available for the Party once players hit level 10. Duplicates can be combined to evolve into more powerful and impressive-looking forms, and unwanted cards can be fused with favorites to level them up and increase their stats.The quests are a simple matter of tapping the screen to progress, but can yield experience, gold, and extra cards in addition to opening up even more areas to quest in with even greater rewards (and challenges). The battles are hands-off affairs with the player's Party having it out with their opponent's automatically; the results determined by skills being activated on their own and overall team prowess. It's a simple setup, but it's perfectly functional.
