FEZ Pocket Edition Will Change Your Perspective
December 19, 2017 by RSS Feed
FEZ Pocket Edition ($4.99) by Polytron is the official mobile port of the popular indie game that debuted in 2012 on Xbox Live Arcade. Due to the popularity of this indie darling, it expanded to other platforms after a yearlong exclusivity agreement. This is the game that primarily inspired other popular titles, such as Monument Valley.
If you've been paying attention to the gaming scene in the past few years, then you'll know that the Escheresque-style (inspired by M.C. Escher) puzzle platformer games have been on the rise. It really started to get popular with Monument Valley, but that had to get its inspiration from somewhere too, right? Well it did, and that was FEZ. This is the puzzle platformer game that started all of the shifting perspective styles that we see in other games, and it's finally available on mobile, after much anticipation. I bought FEZ a while back on Steam, but nothing beats having your favorite games in the palm of your hand while you're out-and-about.

Visually, FEZ Pocket Edition retains the same classic art style as the original game. This means blocky, voxel-style graphics (think similarly to Minecraft) and pixel art mixed together in one. That's because the game starts off with just 2D graphics, but then the story unfolds and things move into a 3D perspective. The character sprites themselves are always in pixelated, 2D form, which is fun to watch as things shift between 2D and 3D. The color palette in FEZ is bold and vibrant, but there are times at night when it's darker and more eerie. Animations are buttery smooth and fluid on my iPhone 8 Plus, so I experienced no issues with frame rate lag or choppiness.
Another thing about FEZ that is well done is the music and sound. The game contains a soothing, ambient and atmospheric soundtrack that immerses you into the game world. I recommend grabbing your favorite pair of headphones and sitting back with this game, because you'll lose a few hours with it. The sound effects are also nice, as they're rather quirky and charming. Overall, FEZ Pocket Edition retains the great visual and audio design from the original game.
In FEZ, players will find themselves taking the role of Gomez as he tries to live day-to-day life at home. However, he must embark on an adventure and soon gets a cute little fez, which grants him the power to see beyond the normal world, and even other dimensions that were hidden in plain sight. You'll eventually get a Navi-like cube guardian who helps you in Gomez's journey, providing you with tips and guidance on what you must do. However, it's pretty straightforward: find cube shards scattered in each area and gather them all to restore order to the universe.
Controls in FEZ Pocket Edition are simple and optimized for touch screens. In the bottom left corner is an on-screen D-pad with four directional buttons for going left, right, up, and down. The bottom right area of the screen has buttons for interacting with objects and doors, jump, and talk. It's pretty elementary stuff, and works well for the most part.
Once you get past the part in the story where you can shift perspective from 2D to 3D, then all you have to do is drag horizontally on the screen. This lets you move the camera around, and lets you see parts of the area that you wouldn't have thought about before. Shifting the perspective opens up many new paths that you can take to reach places you wouldn't have been able to before, and it's good to experiment and see what you can find. FEZ has secrets and hidden treasures as well, so it's important to explore every nook and cranny.
The only thing I didn't like about the controls is that sometimes it gets a bit tricky to make the jumps that are further out. I had a few moments where I thought I tapped on the right buttons but I end up falling short, because the buttons felt unresponsive. Fortunately, there's no penalty to dying in FEZ, and you get infinite lives, so it's not a big deal if you mess up. Just be warned, though, that it does take a bit of practice and timing to get some jumps right in FEZ Pocket Edition.
While I'm still pretty early on in the game, I am loving it so far. I have the game on my Mac through Steam, but I find having it available wherever I go much more enjoyable. The game is also beautiful, and the ever-changing perspective lets you see things that weren't always there. It helps hone your observational skills. It's a fantastic puzzle platformer game with a ton of things to discover, so if you've never played FEZ before, then there's no better time than now to start.
Fez has been ported to iOS to deliver classic 2D platforming with a 3D twist.
The Good
FEZ Pocket Edition brings the lovable FEZ to our mobile devices. Even though the game is several years old, it's still as delightful and charming as ever. The graphics have a unique style, especially as you shift the perspective around constantly. The music and sound is incredibly done, as it fully immerses and captivates you as you play. The controls work out well for what it's worth, and the amount of secrets to uncover in FEZ mean this is one title you'll want to keep coming back to.
The Bad
There's a lot to love about FEZ Pocket Edition, but it's not perfect. If you've played the game before, then there isn't much new content in the Pocket Edition to warrant another purchase. And again, the controls could be better optimized for jumping and reaching hard-to-reach spots, in my opinion. But hey, there's no penalty for dying, so it's not that big of a deal.
The verdict
FEZ Pocket Edition is a worthy addition to anyone's mobile game collection. The game's unique visual style is captivating and lovable, and the music is relaxing. For a multi-platform game that was ported over, the touch screen controls work well enough for most, and it's a pleasant experience overall. There are many secrets to find in FEZ, so there's always a reason to go back to previous worlds and find things you missed. Overall, FEZ Pocket Edition is well worth the money.

9 of the Absolute Best Free iOS Games of 2017
Whatever type of game you like to while away the hours of your spare time or fill some dead time when on a queue, 2017 has been an outstanding year for new games. The best ones are challenging to play and beautiful to behold. Here are 9 that we think really hit it out of the part (although none are baseball games ;-).
As with any game where you are pitched against opponents you don’t know, the results can vary quite a bit, and when the skill levels or styles of play differ too much it can be a bit frustrating but there any number of ways the developers can improve this and we look forward to follow up versions.
In App Purchases: Yes
Who isn’t a fan of Transformers? Nobody! That’s who. This game starts out with a smile on the face of anyone whose downloaded it and from there it only gets better. The support for 18 different languages makes this game a true global phenomenon. Whether you’re building your 1-Star, 2-Star, or 3-Star Bot or focusing on completing your daily mission, this game grabs your full attention and doesn’t let go.
One of the possible downsides of trying to leverage such a successful franchise is, of course, not doing justice to it and leaving its fans somewhat deflated. Not the case here. Kabam has done a terrific job with the game play and the graphics and have even included a AI mode for when you’re feeling a bit lazy.
In App Purchases: Yes
If you’ve ever played old-style lo-res retro games, maybe you’re old enough to have enjoyed a game or two of ZZT, then you’ll feel right at home with this wonderfully enjoyable retro style game. Once you put on the mask, your endless runner kicks into high gear.
It’s sure to delight even young gamers who have no idea what the previous sentence is all about. Whether you’re doing your best to get past spike traps or avoid enemies that might blow up (literally) and get so big they’ll block your way, this game is incredibly well designed and will keep you going to get to the next level and theme.
In App Purchases: Yes
You know if you’re into action/strategy games, there is no maybe, and if, like us, you love them, then Dawn of Titans is not to be missed. It will quickly immerse you in a fantasy world that will totally take your breath away. Extremely well designed with great attention to detail, you’ll control thousands of giant titans, earn divine gems, and achieve great victories.
This game is definitely “console quality” and will amaze you with its stunning 3D graphics nonstop gameplay.
In App Purchases: Yes
When you need to step away from endless running and blood & guts for a minute, The Trail will entertain you with a fresh story line that harkens back to the old west. But don’t be fooled, this is not “story heavy” and while you will have to walk around some to get started, the effort is richly rewarded. At times it might even remind you of the classic Oregon Trail, but The Trail is well beyond that venerable title in sheer gameplay fun.
Gather resources, create better tools and clothes, make it to a town, build a home and share that experience with other players in the same town. This is not an “edge of your seat” type of game, but if you’re more of a builder than a fighter, you will absolutely love your time spent with The Trail.
In App Purchases: Yes
What would a list of great games be without at least one racing game. And Asphalt Xtreme fits the fill in spades. It’s so much fun to play you might forget to break for lunch. The Asphalt series has been around awhile and we think the creators of this game have really brought it all together here. The cars are varied (35 to choose from) and fast and the scenery is thrilling. Oh and did we mention there are no roads?
The tag line “No Road, No Rules” is apt and is a hint at the fun you’ll have playing this beautifully done global racing game. The more races you do the more chances you have to win and the more winnings you’ll collect to upgrade your ride or buy a new one.
