When we've shown you combat games for tablets and smartphones, we've seen that they're closely linked to role-playing and strategy, and that the battlefields are large arenas. Dozens of units clash on these battlefields simultaneously. Well-crafted atmospheres and simple, intuitive controls with great freedom of movement are the strengths of this type of game.
However, as is often the case, catalogs are filled with numerous titles trying to steal the spotlight from the most popular ones, or at least secure a prominent place. Today we're going to talk about Tactical Monsters , which, as its name suggests, combines combat with supernatural creatures. What other aspects will stand out, and how will it utilize the most characteristic features of the genre?
Argument
We find ourselves in a magical world where humans coexist with other beings like elves and orcs. Our mission is simple: We must assemble the best team and fight rivals in short battles lasting a maximum of 5 minutes. We'll not only have to adhere to the time limit, but also to confined arenas on a hexagonal terrain that restricts our movement, which may further test the adaptability of both the protagonists and the players.
Community fighting games
The social component plays a very important role in Tactical Monsters. This is evident in the ability to forge alliances with other players worldwide, allowing you to exchange strategies, items, and characters. It also comes from interaction via group and global chats. Many opponents will be players from other regions who have also created their own clans. Adding to this is another significant element: the extensive character roster, which offers a lighthearted take on creatures like zombies, mummies, and ghosts, as each character has their own unique backstory.
Gratuitous?
Created by a team in Hong Kong and released just a few days ago, this title has already achieved half a million downloads. It is completely free . It has received positive reviews for its stability, but also some criticism for the inability to progress beyond certain levels without making in-app purchases , which can reach up to €105 for the most expensive items.
