Truth be told, whenever I unwrap a movie-based game on mobile, I hold my breath because more often than not they turn out to be boring and lackluster. Nonetheless, Apps Ministry unleashed a very competent action-platformer with basic RPG elements, a very decent replay value and a surprisingly neat monetization model.
When it comes to game adaptations of well-known movies and cartoons, I often approach with caution. The transition from the big screen to gaming can be a disastrous affair for many licensed franchises. However, with the release of games such as South Park’s The Stick Of Truth and Batman’s Arkham series, expectations for franchised game releases are on he rise. Fortunately, action-platformer Slugterra: Dark Waters manages to meet these expectations head on.
