Is This The Best Runner Style Game Yet?

By Peter Schmecker


Pioneered by Temple Run, this runner type of game has started to become favored on the mobile gaming platforms and you will probably see at least a couple sitting in the top charts from the App Store or Play Store. Today we will be exploring the Android App Subway Surfers, however it is also available on iPhone/iPad.

You play the character of young innocent vandal who will be getting pursued by a quite big guard as well as his dog. Your task can be to steer clear of the obstacles and pickup the gold coins as you go. Using the coins you should purchase upgrades for example , Hoverboards (which allow you to take some damage but still keep on sprinting for instance getting struck by the train) you can also beginning 2000 meters further up. As with most applications these days, you could make various in-game purchases to speed the game up. By way of example, each time you get hit you've got an choice to use one of your keys to keep on sprinting, these are typically minimal if you do not spend money on some more.

The maps are self generating so will be completely different each and every time, to continually keep you speculating. But they do follow a very much the same structure since you will very quickly pick up mixing together some train leaps, hurdle leaps coupled with train stations. There are lots of pick-ups along the route perhaps a jetpack plus some toy dolls which will release unique additional bonuses and features. Ever since we have been using the mobile application, we have witnessed 2 updates, that also adjusts the positioning of the subway that you are surfing! The very first one was in Australia, and the up-to-date one is in Tokyo. The themes changes in line with this, this is a quite cool method to keep you from getting bored. The game features 'Missions' and 'Daily Challenges' in which once finished give you several benefits. As an example, it may possibly provide you additional coins or can open up special abilities.

You begin as Jake, however you will find over ten further personas you'll be able to pick. Nevertheless, you will need to either get hold of particular items or even spend money on these to discover them. The very same can be stated for the Hoverboard you have. The mobile application hasn't ever crashed since we were working with it. We played the game on a HTC One but also on an Apple iPhone 4. The mobile app is provided for free in the Android Play Store and Apple App Store, nevertheless you will find in-app purchases as I mentioned before to increase the speed of your mobile game progress which can be usual in mobile apps presently. As it is a zero cost game, you will find several advertisements. These aren't presented when you are actually playing the app yet commonly it's a whole display advert when you load the application up and when you pause the app.

On the whole, this can be a nice mobile game. The designers produce routine up-dates with shifting surroundings and themes, while the maps are self-generating this means it doesn't get uninspiring. My only complaints of this is that once you've been actively playing it for a time, the earliest few minutes of each game is unexciting, and after that it speeds up really quickly into a level which in turn we seen to be way too hard, meaning afterwards you need to withstand the boringly slow area repeatedly. Obviously, this could be down to just not being good enough at the mobile game. A reputable cost-free app, putting a cool twist over the Temple-run style of games and one in which we found to be interesting.
