Pacing is set to push players to spend money on in app purchases

The way that Asphalt 8: Airborne progresses is clearly to push players into spending real money to advance in the game, making the game pay to play. See More

BombSquad

Top Pro

Is lots of fun and is very complex and unique

Top Con

Not much fun playing alone

While this game has a single player campaign, playing this alone isn't as fun. Single player mode is extremely difficult, which does detract from enjoying the single player gameplay. Also, being that the game is designed to be played in groups, to play against 3 other AI players in not as fun or unpredictable as playing against human players.. See More

Specs

Controller Support:HID, XInput

Top Pro

Allows using a tablet or an Android TV as a screen, and Android/iOS phone as a remote

This is one of the few games that succeeded in innovating android gaming. You can set a tablet or an android TV as the screen, while using the remote app on your Android or iOS device as the controller. They connect to each other via wifi. See More

Top Con

Online multiplayer requires g+ and doesn't work that well

Cant play online unless you invite google+ friends but it does not work well. See More

Top Pro

SHIELD games and k1 compatible

Bombsquad is SHIELD games compatible and nVidia K1 optimized. Making for a good game to test out the graphic capability of a Shield device or the Nexus 9 as the k1 offers 50% more detail to the graphics. See More

Top Pro

Simple to pick up and play

The mechanics of the game are pretty easy to understand, making for a good game that anyone can jump into, say at a party or across multiple different platforms from home. See More

Top Pro

Assortment of game modes

There are 12 online and local co-op missions in game that allows up to 4 players as well as player modes like tower defense or football. There is also a couple of PvP modes such as free for all or versus. Sadly the only single player modes are the co-op modes played with an AI. See More

Top Pro

Cross platform compatible

BombSquad can be played cross platform on Android, iOS, PC and Mac. See More

Top Pro

Immersive mode support

BombSquad has built-in immersive mode support for playing games in full screen on devices that have software navigation keys. This is done by the OS, hiding the navigation bar while playing the game, so it plays fullscreen. See More

Top Pro

Fun party game mechanics with momentum based gameplay

Consisting of bomb based multiplayer gameplay (somewhat similar to Bomberman) that is geared towards being played in a party setting. Throwing bombs at your friends who are in the same room or online while yourself trying to not get blown up will easily make for a fun time, especially in large groups. During gameplay players can utilize their momentum by hitting harder or throwing further. So starting from one side of the screen and reaching the other to perform a throw or hit can give a lot more strength to their throws or hits. See More

Dungeon Hunter 4

Top Pro

Nice graphics

The in game graphics and cut scenes are done very well. See More

Top Con

Poor auto save feature

By only saving at odd times Dungeon Hunter 4 leaves room for loss of data. See More

Specs

Genre:Action / RPG / Hack n' Slash / Dungeon Crawler

Controller Support:MOGA / Shield

Co-Op:Online / Local Wi-Fi

Top Pro

SHIELD games support

Dungeon Hunter 4 features SHIELD games support. See More

Top Con

Hobbled gameplay to force purchase of in app purchases

By limiting the amount of potions the player is able to use and forcing an excruciatingly slow replenish time Dungeon hunter 4 has broken the core gameplay in order to force users into spending real money just to fend off these false limitations, which no matter how many times one pays will always come back. It is a never ending cycle of payment just to be able to play the game in any acceptable manner. See More

Top Pro

MOGA controller support

Dungeon Hunter 4 features MOGA controller support. See More

Top Pro

Local co-op through Wi-Fi

Dungeon Hunter 4 can be played over a local Wi-Fi network in co-op play. See More

Genre:Puzzle / Adventure / Platformer

Controller Support:Full

Co-Op:Local / Online

Mount & Blade : Warband

Top Pro

Impressive & realistic Combat system

The game has one of the most realistic medieval combat systems ever, and it flows very well. There are different ways to control swordplay as well as archery, blocks are done using the mouse and moving it in the direction of the enemy's weapon and clicking the right mouse button. Archery is very realistic is well and there is always a sense of accomplishment when you kill or even hit a target. See More

Top Con

Horseback Archery is difficult

Doing archery on horseback is very difficult to pull off, not impossible, just very difficult, the realism is appreciated, though it's a bit too hard to hit a target when riding a horse. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive

Genre:Action-RPG, Strategy, Simulation

Top Pro

Have your own army to command into battle

You can build up your own army and command them into battle, Total War-style, only with you leading directly and taking place in the battle. There are tons of different commands for you to give out to your army. See More

Top Con

Subpar graphics

Definitely not one of the best looking games out there, and age is not helping it either. See More

Top Pro

Deep economy aspects

Buying and selling items in the single player game can be deeply rewarding but will take a lot of time to learn the ins and outs in order to maximize profit. See More

Top Con

No real story

The game does not have any real story, there is some semblance of a story early in the beginning of the game, with you choosing to possibly help out a merchant, but after that, there is no real story, you basically make your own destiny, but there is no set story that the game gives you, and therefore, there is no real narrative. See More

Top Pro

Old but gold

This is an old game, but it's also a very, very good one. See More

Top Con

Brutal and unforgiving

You get captured, and that is it, your entire army is gone completely, you will lose all your gold, and a lot of the companions you had, you may even lose some of your inventory or equipment, this is especially bad when you play under the "Realistic" save settings, as the game automatically saves after every event, which means you've lost everything and there is nothing you can do about it. See More

Top Pro

Deep RPG mechanics

There are so many deep rpg mechanics in this game it's insane, you can level up with tons of different skills, improve weapon proficiency, as well as basic stats. There's also buying new weapons and armor, horses, etc. You can also upgrade your companion's skills, their weapons and armor, and their stats as well as weapon proficiencies. Basic infantry can also be upgraded to higher positions, upgrading them with better weapons and armor, as well as increasing their skills. There's also a morale system in place when you need to keep all troops happy, make sure you're well stocked with different varieties of food, etc. See More

Top Con

Repetitive quests

Most of the quests you'll be taking will be repeated over and over, like "take out this bandit hide-out", "scout out these villages", or even super boring ones like "Follow me, the marshal, until our campaign has ended". It does get repetitive and boring when these quests are done over and over. See More

Top Pro

The BEST Mounted Combat of any game

Yes, this game has, hands down, the best mounted combat of all time, riding across the battlefield on your mighty steed and felling an enemy is one of the best feelings. All weapons work on horseback, barring very heavy crossbows, and they are all fun. There's your traditional jousting with a lance in tournaments, but you can also use a greatsword, a sword and shield, a bardiche. With mounted combat like this, other games with mounted combat will seem completely obsolete. See More

Top Con

Music is repetitive and boring

You will quickly get tired of the music, there is no real WOW factor songs in there, it's all passable at best. See More

Top Pro

Tons of stuff to do

This game is a medieval enthusiast's dream, you can build up a huge army and fight for yourself, become king, be a vassal for a king, choose to be a wandering tournament fighter, a wandering fighter who takes down bandits, a bandit pillaging villages as they see fit, you can get married, and even get involved more deeply into the politics of the world. You can even join a group of rebels to try and overthrow a king, they will, in turn, then be the king of their respective realm. You can go to taverns, and feasts, as well as set up your own feasts after getting married. You can build your own mills, velvet factories, etc, and be a wandering merchant. You can even be a slaver if you wanted to, whenever you defeat bandits or others, you can capture them and sell them to random brokers, which gives you money. The possibilities are endless. See More

Top Pro

Very interesting companion characters

The companion characters are relatively interesting, from the ever hilarious Rolf, to the sad story of Deshavi, they all have their own quirks that make them interesting and a joy to have on your team, they'll interact with other companions, both in good ways and bad ways, and they'll even comment on their homeland when you ride near it. You even have the option of making every single companion a lord should you wish it. See More

Top Pro

Being able to make your own personal backstory

Before the game even starts you get to choose every little bit of your character's backstory, are you a noble who was forced out of their home and thus started your journey? Or... are you a street urchin who wanted to see the world? You get to craft every meticulous detail, including who your father and family were, who you were as a child, etc. It's very interesting and can get you invested in your character. See More

Top Pro

Incredible realism

While you go about your life in the game, you'll see little tabs on the side and be updated about the state of the world, even about stuff you aren't involved in, you'll see who is fighting who, who is at war, who won and lost a battle, who won a tournament. You can be attacked by anyone at any moment while traveling throughout the world, having a small, or big army can determine whether or not the enemy sees you as a threat. It feels like a very believable world. See More

Top Pro

Deep character customization

There are some missteps in the character customization, but for the most part it's pretty extensive, you can customize your character's entire face structure. See More

Top Pro

Endless quests

Yes, you heard me right, now, while the quests may be repetitive, there are TONS of them, and this game does not run out of quests... EVER. You could be playing this game for over 100 real life years and still have quests. They are all set quests, but there will always be lords that need help, guild masters that will give you tasks, farmers that need their village saved. The quests do not run out, and you'll be happy knowing that you'll still have as much quests to do as when you started. See More

Top Pro

Realistic weapons and armour

The armour and weapons are based off real life weapons and armour. See More
