I’ve talked a lot about Wii and Wii U games here; that’s probably because my son’s gaming life has, for the most part, centered around these systems. He’s branched out a bit here and there, and I wanted to swing around and touch on something he’s probably more into than I am – mobile games. Whether playing on our tablet or my phone – both Android devices – he loves mobile games for their quick pick-up-and-play style, and he’ll happily burn through a couple of hours and our battery life for just about anything we throw on there. The most recent of these is Hungry Shark Evolution by Future Games of London.
The library of action titles available on Android is overwhelming. But increasingly, a lot of those games are online-only. What’s a gamer with unreliable Wi-Fi to do? Easy—consult Hardcore Droid’s list of the Best Offline Android Action Games.
What are developers doing right when making a survival game? What are they doing wrong? This massive genre has some set rules in making a good game.
I'm all for games having survival elements, but for whatever reason I've never been able to get into games where the sole purpose is to survive. I'm one of those wimps that enjoys Minecraft more in creative mode. :P
I can't argue with that, one of my friends has a real dislike of the whole genre of survival. His words are "I struggle to survive in real life, so why would I want to play a game with the same problem!"
Only 2 survival games have been released from early access: don't starve and minecraft (the PC version of minecraft lacks an end game; in contrast, the console version does have an end game). No Man's Sky is the only survival games that did not go through early access. This genre really needs is for the games to get out of early access.
Hungry Shark Evolution is a new iOS game by Future Games of London, and is the fourth game in the long running Hungry Shark series. Like the other games in this series, you play as a shark (one of many sharks), and your goal is to eat as many sea creatures, people and other things as you can in order to earn more points and coins. It's an "endless eating" game, so to speak, as you can go on for however long you're able.
