Oh My Demogorgon! Stranger Things: The Game is a Rare Treat for Gamers

October 04, 2017 by RSS Feed

Stranger Things: The Game (Free) by BonusXP is an old-school action adventure game that takes place in the Stranger Things universe. If you enjoyed titles like Thimbleweed Park and Death Road to Canada, then you'll get a kick out of the Stranger Things game, especially if you're a fan of the hit Netflix series.

It's October, so it's time for spooky and eerie things. Stranger Things debuted on Netflix about a year ago, and it received much love from fans. It took me a while before I hopped on the Stranger Things hype train, but after I finished it, I was hooked and needed more. I'm eager for the second season of Stranger Things later this month, but it's still some time before we all get it. Fortunately, there's now Stranger Things: The Game to keep us occupied until then.

$9.99

Thimbleweed Park

Terrible Toybox, Inc.

$10.99

Death Road to Canada

Rocketcat LLC

Visually, Stranger Things: The Game is full of beautiful retro graphics, just as you'd expect it would. After all, the first season takes place in the 1980s, the golden age of gaming. Even the icon resembles an old NES cartridge, which I adore. And while the pixel art style of the Stranger Things game feels classic, there's still a lot of details and textures packed in this digital rendition of Hawkins, Indiana.

The color palette ranges from dark and dim to muted earthy tones to bold and vibrant hues, depending on where you are and what the situation is. All animations are smooth and fluid on my iPhone 8 Plus with no lag, and it feels like the game runs at 60FPS. Even the text is easy to read, thanks to the large size. The chiptune soundtrack is haunting and reminiscent of the show, and the sound effects are well done. Overall, the developers did a great job making fans feel right at home in this game.

Since Stranger Things: The Game is an adventure game, there's a story behind everything. Players must also start in the beginning and work their way through to unravel the mystery and secrets that await in Hawkins, because this town is never normal. The game world is quite vast, and the developers have promised several hours of gameplay for players.

There's two game modes available: Normal (good for beginners) and Classic (hard mode). There are six areas to explore and 30 missions to complete. Seven characters are available to unlock as you progress through the story, with Hopper being ready from the start. Each character has a unique talent or skill as well, such as Lucas' Wrist Rocket or Nancy's collection of baseball bats.

The best part? There are no ads in the game, nor are there any in-app purchases. In this day and age, this kind of game would usually not be free, or push you to unlock the full game through an in-app purchase, so it's kind of shocking.

Controls in Stranger Things: The Game are simple and intuitive. To move, you just have to tap where you want your current character to go to, or just tap-and-hold to move continuously. To attack enemies or hit objects, just tap on them. When money, hearts, gnomes, Eggos, or key items drop, just run over to it to collect it. To activate switches and other interactive objects, tap on it like you would an enemy.

Even though it's an action adventure game, there are plenty of puzzles to solve. For example, in the beginning you have to disarm a laser security system by hitting the appropriate switches. But you'll have to find those switches first, and also eliminate all foes who are in the way. Some thugs are immune to normal attacks, so you'll have to outsmart them somehow and use the environment against them.

As mentioned earlier, each character has a special trait that you'll need to get past the puzzles. Lucas' Wrist Rocket is a ranged attack, so it can hit those switches that are beyond gaps in the floor. And sometimes you need the brute force of Nancy's bat swings to get past fallen logs.

Only one character is shown on the screen at once, so if you want to switch, just use the character swap buttons in the bottom right corner. This is also where you see what key items you're holding, your money, and your health points.

The game that only gets stranger

The Good

Stranger Things: The Game is a welcome surprise this week. With season two only weeks away, this is a great addition for any Stranger Things fan. The game's vintage pixel art style is nostalgic and soothing, and the chiptune soundtrack and sound effects stay true to the show. I love the fact that all of our favorite characters from the show make an appearance in this game, and they all play their part in the group. Controls are easy and responsive, making this a great game for anyone.

This is the kind of game that I would pay a few bucks for, so it's a bit surprising that it's free with no additional IAPs or ads. Of course, the whole game itself is a giant ad, technically, but it's one that I honestly don't mind.

The Bad

Stranger Things: The Game is a pretty solid promotional release, but it's not without some flaws. The controls work out nicely, but for larger devices like my iPhone 8 Plus, it can be tiring holding the phone in one hand and using my other hand to move around through taps and drags. I wish that there was a kind of virtual joystick option, or at least support for MFi controllers.

The verdict

Even though this is one big promotional release, it's Stranger Things, and it's a top-notch free game that has no strings attached, which is rare these days. The graphics are amazing and smooth. The eerie chiptune soundtrack is fun to listen to, and the sound effects make you feel like you're watching the show.

The game lasts for about 10 hours, and each character has their part to play when it comes to solving the puzzles. For the true dedicated fans, a secret trailer for Stranger Things 2 awaits you if you complete enough puzzles.

I've only just started playing so I'm still in the beginning. However, this is proving to be a worthy addition to my iOS game collection and one that'll keep me busy until Stranger Things 2 gets released.

Stranger Things: The Game is on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for free. There are no ads or in-app purchases.

It's Time to Get REKT! in This High Octane Stunt Driving Game

October 03, 2017 by RSS Feed

REKT! ($1.99) by Little Chicken Game Company is a high-octane stunt driving arcade game where you get to wreck awesome cars by doing tricks. If you enjoyed racing games like Offroad Legends 2 and the like, then you're going to get a kick out of REKT!

When times get tough, I like to take my mind off of things with a little destruction and mayhem in my video games. For me, it's the best way to kill some time and de-stress, plus, who doesn't want to see some digital chaos every now and then? While I'm not always into racing games (Horizon Chase being the main exception on iOS), I liked the idea and concept behind REKT!, as it isn't your typical racer. There are no other opponents to race against, just the clock. Plus, the game looked reminiscent of TRON, so I had to check it out for myself. After spending some time with it, I must say it doesn't disappoint.

$0.99

Offroad Legends 2

Dogbyte Games Kft.

Free

Horizon Chase - World Tour

Aquiris Realidade Virtual LTDA

Visually, REKT! looks gorgeous with the unique and futuristic low-poly aesthetic. Everything is rendered in 3D so it's rather immersive once you get things going. As I mentioned, the arena where you do your stunts in is a bit TRON-like, which appeals to me. It's packed with various ramps, loops, hoops, and other things to do your tricks on while having neon light trims along the edges. The color palette in REKT! ranges from vibrant and bright hues to more muted shades, so it's a nice mix.

Animations are smooth and fluid, with frame rates of 60FPS, so I experienced no lag issues on my iPhone 8 Plus. REKT! also has an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack that is sure to get you in the mood to do crazy tricks and smash things. In terms of visual and audio design, I think the developers did a pretty good job.

In REKT!, there's only one game mode, and that's pretty much a free-for-all. You pick the car you want to use (you start off with only one) and then hit the arena. The main objective is to rack up a high score, and you earn points by doing all kinds of stunts and tricks with your chosen car. The more things you do, the more points you earn.

Each round has a time limit of 60 seconds, so you are racing against the clock. There are clocks that you can collect to extend your time, but you have to be fast. More cars get unlocked once you reach a certain point threshold, and the type of vehicle you drive can impact how you earn points. So it's important to use these cars as you get them.

Controls in REKT! are as simple as they come. The car accelerates automatically, so you don't have to worry about that. To steer left or right, just touch the screen in the direction you want to go in. To come to a stop, just tap on the bottom center area for the brake button. If you tap-and-hold the brake button, the car eventually reverses.

Swipe vertically in the air to do a front or back flip, and swipe horizontally for the car to spin. When you tap-and-hold in the air, it forces it to stop spinning or flipping, which is what you should use if you want to do a perfect landing.

Even though the controls are pretty easy to learn, the game requires a bit of practice to fully master them. And once you know the controls like the back of your hand, then doing sick tricks and racking up the points is no big deal.

The only annoying thing about REKT! is the fact that there's pretty much just one free-roaming arena. However, to keep things fresh and interesting, you'll have three challenges to strive for before the start of each round. These include goals like "Perform a drift," "Crash through some boxes," "Get a perfect landing," and more. Once an objective is completed, you earn some blue coins and a new challenge presents itself.

But what are the blue coins for? When you have enough of them, then you can spend them for a chance to win a new car. However, since the cost is pretty high (1000 per spin) and challenges only give like 30 at a time, it will take a while to accrue enough.

REKT! is an arcade racing game where you can burn some rubber and do crazy tricks with cool wheels.

The Good

REKT! is pretty much a fun time waster arcade game. The graphics are pretty sharp for what it is, and the 60FPS is rather impressive. I love the futuristic design of the arena, which provides great contrast with the modern aesthetics of the vehicles that are burning rubber in it. The soundtrack is engaging and fun to listen to. Controls are intuitive and work out well for the gameplay, but mastering it is still a challenge. The game mechanic is realistic and fun, as you can perform cool tricks without expensive consequences. And while the arena stays the same, the missions keep things interesting and give you motivation to try out new things.

The Bad

While REKT! is a fun little game, it's not perfect. I wish there were more arenas, because going through the same one over and over gets stale after a little while, even with the challenges. I also think that the price for the "Spin and Win" is a tad high, considering that the quests only get you about 30 coins each.

The verdict

Overall, REKT! is proving to be a nice distraction throughout the day. It takes skateboard style tricks and applies them to rad looking vehicles for a unique gameplay concept that ends up being fun and hard to put down. Controls are simple enough for anyone to pick the game up and play it, but mastering the tricks takes time and practice. It's also rewarding to watch the points rack up as you hang in the air and spin or flip (or both), and the unlock-able cars just provide more motivation for players.

My only complaint is the lack of arenas, but the developers have said that more are coming in the future, according to their app description. Hopefully these come sooner rather than later, and I look forward to checking them out.

I still recommend giving REKT! a try if you're in the mood for some addictive driving chaos in arcade game form. REKT! is on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $1.99.
