Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be
Whether one loves or hates the Call of Duty franchise, there’s no denying the level of polish and wealth of content that the series consistently delivers. Call of Duty Mobile brings that design philosophy to the mobile space, giving Call of Duty fans plenty of content wrapped in a package that works well with minimal hoop-jumping or other irritations that tend to plague mobile games. Call of Duty Mobile recreates the Call of Duty console experience flawlessly, making it simple to jump into a party with friends and communicate with voice chat. Moments after downloading the game, Call of Duty Mobile players can be playing matches on Nuketown with friends, with no technical issues or matchmaking problems to speak
Angry Birds , of course, needs no introduction. I’m sure you all remember this one conquering the planet/entire known universe back in 2010, crushing all mobile competition into spam beneath its mighty iron jackboot of pure dominance. Angry Birds was (and kind of still is, if you squint a bit) more than a game, it was a phenome
What makes Mobius Final Fantasy such a stellar mobile game? It’s remarkably faithful to the mechanics of the franchise, for starters; a dungeon-exploring RPG with levelling and customization governed by the job system. Some compromises had to be made when translating these elements to the hardware, but this is a real technical achievement right here. Especially when you consider the quality of the visuals. The game’s a solid 10 on that score and as any Tinder user will tell you, you don’t meet many
As far as the battle royale mode goes, Call of Duty Mobile ‘s battle royale experience is arguably superior to that of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ‘s battle royale. One of the main reasons is that the map features accurate recreations of famous Call of Duty multiplayer maps, which was something that Black Ops 4 ‘s Blackout battle royale mode promised to do but didn’t really deliver on. One example is Nuketown, which looks mostly the same in Call of Duty Mobile ‘s battle royale mode, but was changed almost beyond recognition in Black
When it comes to mobile game mascots, Barry Steakfries is right up there with the best of them. The star of Monster Dash and Age of Zombies , he’s done the rounds on phones and tablets across the world, and been pimped out more often than that hooker with herpes from South Park . His finest hour, though, would probably have to be 2011’s Jetpack Joyr
SMGs are a great choice for players looking to move quickly and take advantage of snap reaction times. The MP5 and MP7 are two of the best SMGs in Modern Warfare , rivaled only by the Fennec, and they have a phenomenal track record in standard multiplayer and Warzone alike. The MP5 is natural, controllable, and does great damage, meaning that attachments solely focused on improving its core mobility won’t hamper its accuracy or damage too badly. Meanwhile, the MP7 is so light and agile that even kitting out for ranged damage keeps it zippy and qu
Seven years later, the franchise has taken more twist and turns than the plot of the average Dan Brown novel. There’s the usual bird-firing puzzle variant, there are match 3 games, there’s a shoot ‘em up, even a fully-fledged RPG with equipment crafting. There’s also a movie, but we won’t talk about that because it’s terrible. Suffice it to say, there’s something for everyone in this franchise, that’s for damn s
Coming to Call of Duty Mobile shortly after launch, the game’s Zombies was quickly removed after failing to meet the quality standards of TiMi Studios. Despite this failure, a recent Call of Duty Mobile survey has hinted that the co-op mode could be returning after an absence of over a year. While there is good reason to be excited about this possibility, there are several things that will need to be done differently to make the second attempt at Call of Duty Mobile Zombies a succ
Plentiful mini bosses helped to make the mode overly difficult as well, with the extreme health of Zombies and hellhounds only adding to this unnecessary level of difficulty. Worse, instead of proper Wonder Weapons, regular guns were just given a Pack-A-Punch diamond camo Unlock requirements and a stat boost. Only obtained through limited time item crates in the in-game story, those that did not spend money to obtain the guns were at a severe disadvantage in the mode. While having a limit on how far players could get was bad, and throwing random enemy types into the map was worse, it was a lack of balance that truly made the mode unfun and served as a nail in the coffin for Call of Duty Mobile Zombi
In Plants vs Zombies Heroes , you play not with seed packets but a deck of 40 cards. It’s a collectible card game in the Hearthstone mold, in which you take turns placing cards on a five-lane board. As the name suggests, too, there’s a similar heroes mechanic in play too, making this a great one for Hearthstone fans to pick up. It’s light on the microtransactions, too, which is a real p
