Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 5/5 Replayability: 5/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 17/20

This is an online, multiplayer, first-person-shooting (FPS) game. It’s easy to play. Aim at the enemy with the crosshairs. The gun will automatically fire. Hide around corners to ambush enemies.

The battles are team death matches, where two teams kill each other until the timer reaches zero. To play the game, use the on-screen touch joystick to move around and swipe or rub the screen to look around. This is one of the best fps games for smartphones.

What’s good about this game? Cool levels and autofire

Graphics: 5/5 Gameplay: 5/5 Replayability: 5/5 Enjoyability: 5/5

Overall Score: 20/20

This is a FPS for smartphones. It’s very good. It received a perfect score. The design is clean and sharp. To play it, use the touchscreen to move and look. The right side is for moving and the left side is for panning the camera. Jump over obstacles and crouch next to walls. Press the fire button (bullseye icon) to shoot enemies.

There are several online modes including Deathmatch, Defuse, and Gun Game. There are lots of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, and knives. There are several levels that take place in different environments including a brewery, the headquarters for an organization, and a city surrounded by canals and waterways.

3. Standoff 2 (Google Play Store)

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 5/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 5/5

Overall Score: 18/20

This FPS game is designed well. It has lots of on-screen elements including a creative weapon selection UI. Press and hold the weapon icon to reveal a side arm, rifle, and knife. Select the weapon you want by sliding your finger over the weapon.

You can crouch around corners and zoom-in on targets. The best way to play is to move quickly and fire rapidly using an assault rifle. You can also find a hiding spot and wait for enemies to run in front of your path. There are several game modes including Team Deathmatch, Diffuse, and Arms Race.

What’s good about this game? Realistic gunfire noises
What’s wrong with this game? It’s difficult to determine which characters are friendly (teammates) and which are the enemy.

Reviews: Games that Aren’t RPGs

When you search for an RPG in the Google Play Store, dozens of games are listed. Most of these games are action RPGs, which aren’t real RPGs. For a game to be called an RPG, it needs to have turn-based gameplay. This involves waiting for your turn to strike and waiting to receive a strike from the opponent. Here’s a list of games that aren’t RPGs.

1. Kritika: The White Knights (Google Play Store)

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 2/5 Enjoyability: 2/5

Overall Score: 10/20

In this game, you can create several characters and switch between them as you play. However, you have to start from the beginning of the game if you switch characters. You can add other players to a friends list and invite friends from Facebook. You can create a guild or join one. There are several levels. The goal is to defeat the monsters in each level and defeat the boss. You have several weapons and magic powers.

What’s good about this game? The attacks are smooth. Both a single sword swipe or a repeating weapon responds instantly to taps on the screen. The directional pad is smooth as well. The character is highly responsive.
What’s wrong with this game? The music in this game is too manic. Some of the characters are too enthusiastic. The instructional aid (Mao’s Tips) points things out too quickly. The menus aren’t designed well.

2. Iron Blade: Medieval RPG (Google Play Store)

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 3/5 Enjoyability: 3/5

Overall Score: 13/20

This game is set during medieval times. You play a knight armed with a sword and a shield. Once the battle begins, press the right side of screen (attack section) repeatedly to strike the enemy. Another way to fight is to press the left side of the screen (block section) when the enemy strikes or shoots an arrow. This will block their attack. The character won’t move unless it is attacking. Upgrade your gear and fuse weapons to become more powerful. The game begins with an impressive cinematic video that reveals the story.

What’s good about this game? It has great music and cool kill sequences.
What’s wrong with this game? The size of the characters aren’t the same in battles, story sequences, and menu screens.

3. Angel Stone – Rise of the Resistance (Google Play Store)

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 3/5 Enjoyability: 3/5

Overall Score: 13/20

In this game, you play as a hero who is seeking out a resistance group. There are three classes of heroes to choose from – Berserker, Gunslinger, and Shadow Mage. Along the way, you will encounter zombies and creatures. Your hero will automatically fire a gun at the oncoming enemies. To assist, swipe the screen up, down, left, or right. This will activate various attacks and weapons. Don’t swipe the same direction two times; the hero needs to replenish his focus to use the attack again. To move around in the level, tap the screen.

What’s good about this game? It plays itself (auto-move feature), and the gesture-based moves are easy to activate.
What’s wrong with this game? Boss battle introductions are dumb.

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 5/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 16/20

In this game, you control a snowboarder that slides down slopes filled with ramps. The levels contain snowy environments. The goal is to reach the finish line while completing various objectives. Use the analog stick to accelerate and stay within the track lines. At the start of each level, tap the screen to skip the level overview camera shot; it’s too long.

You can perform various tricks and collect items on the course. To perform a back flip, push the analog stick down while in the air. Release the analog stick at the right time to land safely. If the snowboarder isn’t traveling fast enough, some tricks might not work. To accelerate, push and hold the analog stick up.

What’s good about this game? Cool snowboarding tricks

 Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 2/5 Replayability: 2/5 Enjoyability: 2/5

Overall Score: 9/20

This is a surfing game that’s difficult to learn. Follow the tutorial and try a few practice tricks. To perform a top turn, press D, then press I, quickly. To perform a cutback, press D, then press and hold I. These letters are displayed on the right side of the screen; it spells ‘RIDE.’ The location of the surfer on the wave may affect which moves are possible.

You could surf through the level with the up and down arrow, avoiding crashing waves. However, to unlock the next surfing region, you may have to complete challenges. This includes performing complex moves.

What’s good about this game? Surf waves and surf sounds
What’s wrong with this game? Some surfing tricks are too fast to see after tapping the buttons.

3. Trial Xtreme 4 (Google Play Store)

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 3/5

Overall Score: 13/20

This is a motorcycle game that takes place on obstacle courses through exotic environments (angled side-scrolling). There’s ramps, bridges, and hills. There are checkpoints.

You can practice riding in a new stage or race against another player. New game modes are unlocked after completing 3 levels.

Reviews: Interesting RPGs

Role-playing games are funny. They could be fun to play as well. Or, they could be laughable, especially by gamers that haven’t been exposed to such gameplay. Here’s three interesting RPGs in the Google Play Store. A list of features for each game is provided at the end of this article.

DigimonLinks (Google Play)

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 4/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 5/5

Overall Score: 16/20

This game takes place in a world full of fragmented data. The goal is to save the digital world with Digimon links. To do this, you have to train Digimon in the Farm. There are several areas within the Farm including the Lab. After a digimon evolves into a Rookie, they can enter battles. To increase their level, feed them meat. In battles, use Skills to win. On the battle screen, there’s an Attack button and two Skills are assigned. There are several waves of enemies in each round. This RPG is fun to play. Remember to earn digivolution fuel in battles before evolving the digimon. The battles are located in the Explore section.

What’s good about this game? The turn-based battles are easy to play.
What’s wrong with this game? Nothing. It’s perfect.

The Alchemist Code (Google Play)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vbFjPUFmNQ&feature=youtu.be

Graphics: 3/5 Gameplay: 2/5 Replayability: 2/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 11/20

This RPG is set in a world of alchemy. There’s an intricate story and turn-based gameplay. Some of the role-playing elements are laughable. Press the ‘End’ button to use the next character. It will take time to cycle through all the characters. One element that is noteworthy is the grid-based weapons, which affect every character within a certain area. If you die, use gems to start from the same point.

What’s good about this game? The music and story is good.
What’s wrong with this game? In battles with multiple allies, it’s difficult to identify which character is active. Also, each action has to be approved after it is selected.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Google Play)

Graphics: 2/5 Gameplay: 2/5 Replayability: 3/5 Enjoyability: 2/5

Overall Score: 9/20

This RPG is an old-styled game with text-narration located under the scenes. The story is revealed, and an ensuing battle occurs. The main character is Rain. A companion is available to go into battle with you. The gameplay consists of turn-based action. Select a character to use when it’s your turn. To view and use the character’s powers, swipe the label left or right.

What’s good about this game? There’s an ‘auto’ button that plays the game for you.
What’s wrong with this game? The specs for each character aren’t presented well.

Reviews: The Latest Car Racing Games

Use the smartphone’s tilt-axis functionality more often by playing a car racing game. Unfortunately, not all racing games play well with this interface. Touchscreen accelerator and brake pedals are more effective. Check out the following game reviews for more insights.

Real Racing 3 (Google Play)

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 3/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 14/20

This is a circuit racing game. It begins with racing school, which involves completing several laps around a track and modifying a race car. After graduating, compete in the Pure Stock Challenge. After finishing a race, view it with the replay option. The track camera perspective is the best.

The touchscreen interface is easy to use and responsive. You can add tilt-axis control to steer. This involves tilting the smartphone side-to-side. If you race well, you might meet the requirements for achievements. Try to obtain all the achievements.

What’s good about this game? It contains a replay option that records and replays the race perfectly. You can fast-forward, rewind, take screenshots, and change the camera’s point of view.
What’s wrong with this game? The laps are too short, and the wait times for car delivery is too long. Also, the menu screens are confusing.

Asphalt 8: Airborne (Google Play)

Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 3/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 3/5

Overall Score: 14/20

This is a car racing game without rules.You can do barrel rolls in tunnels, drive through buildings, jump ramps, go off-road, and crash into other cars. The best control scheme is auto-accelerate with tap steering. Tap the left or right side of the screen to steer in that direction. Tap the brake pedal to slow down. The best camera perspective is immersive view.

What’s good about this game? The first-person perspective of immersive view provides awesome car racing action on the ground and in the air.
What’s wrong with this game? While racing, the accelerator and brake pedal may be confused for the left and right steering control. This may cause you to lose your place in the race.

Gear.Club – True Racing (Google Play)

Graphics: 5/5 Gameplay: 5/5 Replayability: 4/5 Enjoyability: 4/5

Overall Score: 18/20

This racing game contains realistic cars and easy controls. Use the automatic acceleration option, along with on-screen arrows for steering; it’s the easiest control scheme. There’s a map with all the courses, and after each race, you can repair the car in a garage. Unlike other games, this game allows you to test drive cars. You won’t have to wait to drive expensive cars; go to a dealership and use the test drive option.

What’s good about this game? There’s a rewind button that lets you re-race the previous section of the race. This is useful when you crash or don’t turn properly.
What’s wrong with this game? Nothing. This game is perfect.
