Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. Golf Strike is essentially 'Golf Battle' with a slightly different coat of paint. The 6-player simultaneous mode is admittedly a decent twist—it keeps the pace up so you aren't waiting for some guy in Idaho to figure out his putting line for three minutes. The physics are pure arcade; don't come here expecting a simulation. It's about power levels and ball stats.
My main beef is the standard Miniclip 'pay-to-win' loop. The matchmaking will eventually pit you against players with significantly better gear that you can't beat through skill alone. The chest timers and card-based upgrade system are designed to stall progress unless you cough up some cash. It's a fine time-killer for a round or two, but it lacks the soul of a true sports title. It’s a slot machine dressed in a polo shirt.
