My New Favorite Game
Sat Apr 08 2023 Brother ArkI’ve never felt strongly enough about a game to write a review before, but this has been the exception. While there are a few issues I have with the game, they are so minor compared to how inventive and fun the game is.
After playing my first 15 minutes of the game, I thought to myself: “This is fine, but I feel like I could get bored of this pretty easily.”
After 30 minutes: “Oh, there is much more depth to this than I imagined.”
After 2 days: “Wow, there are so many hidden things that keep making the game more exciting!”
The best part about this game is that you can tell that the developers really care about it and are excited to grow it, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here!
My only issues are:
- The default controls are pretty uncomfortable to play with, and changing the controls is not available from the start.
- A few too many calls to spend money, and it can be kinda annoying to see so many little things behind optional ad views, but seeing as there are no mandatory ads anywhere, I think that is a fair trade.
- While I really like that the game’s more advanced features are introduced piecemeal, that also means that it takes a few days of playing to actually see the full scope of the game. Some new players might be hooked sooner if the more advanced features are introduced just a little sooner.
Refreshing
Mon Mar 20 2023 hduejsbdhdjdjIn an oversaturated market of lazy cash grabs and misleading ads, this game delivers on it’s provided premise and executes it almost perfectly. The controls and graphics are fluent enough for a mobile game, the ideas are mostly fleshed out and ultimately is just a fun experience that keeps you on your toes without being too difficult. I think the premise of referencing the mechanics of a classic game “snake” in its combat system is a nice twist to the genre as it lets you be creative with how you play the game but that’s also where the issues start. The attack that uses the snakelike ability works only half the time and isn’t very clear on how it works (do you have to activate it on an enemy or can it hit them if they run into it?). The stat boosts it gives for the genre and the elemental abilities aren’t always described properly, a few nitpicky things on the graphics like the shadows not making sense with the lighting and the snake is a bit of a different style of the rest of the things as well as the unclear color scheme can be pretty hectic for this kind of game. None of these truly detract from the experience too much though, this is a game that knows what it is and does it well, just needs to work out a few kinks and for longevity, expand on it’s mechanics. (I’ve completed the first world for frame of reference)
Good gameplay bad execution for ftp
Wed Mar 29 2023 cnb777The initial gameplay loop is fun and addicting however soon it will become an impossible challenge. Initially you will slither around as your turrets on your snakes attack the enemies around you, when you get attacked you lose a significant amount of health however at certain levels on your character you are simply not able to clear some of the new areas possibly till days later. The amount of damage racking up is really good in the beginning portion, but very quickly some areas in the game will take a entire day of just getting loot from ad chests and quick earning gifts. As of getting to level seven it might take you 3-4 days even without getting hit throughout the entire area once the boss comes around you simply significantly less damage than anything around you. The boss is a sponge and he spawns enemies around you which again at first it’s not to difficult but once he goes enraged he spawns way more enemies than usual by 4 times and also seems to have better resistance? The enemies he spawns have higher resistance aswell which make it impossible to kill even with the stacking upgrades correctly. There is another activity you can do but the special event where you can get S+ gear can’t fully be completed unless you put in maybe 100 dollars for gems and buy the S+ chest. Game good, execution bad.
Fun but hard
Wed Jun 28 2023 ThiccNugI started playing this game like a month ago now and it started off pretty funny and addictive. Then I got a new phone and hard to start over which was pretty good since I learned the first time in what to do. But the first and second challenges are pretty hard. Like the game gave me a week to get like 15k gems I believe it was and I had to get enough points to unlock some better gear okay whatever I didn’t get it it is what it is. But then I keep playing for a while and now I’m at the point of the game where I can’t do anything. I do a trail and can’t get passed wave 4-5 with 3 pieces of S gear (no legendaries. Never gotten one yet) can’t do the main missions because the enemies do 1,800 a hit while I have 14k health on 3 snakes. The game starts off pretty fun in my option. Yes it starts off super easy and then stage 2 is pretty hard. But it was a learning curve. Now the game just feels impossible. Trial 10 is just a lot of enemies that shot a wall of electricity and there’s like 5-10 of them with others and a boss. How am I supposed to beat that? By getting better gear? Okay how, how do I get better gear if I’m stuck in a loop of just losing for 3 days straight. Upgrading my snake? How, can’t get gems if I can’t pass what I’m stuck on. Like it just gets to a point of impossible. Not a horrible game, it is fun I will say that. It just gets to a point of just feeling like it’s impossible.
I USE TO LOVE THIS GAME..
Mon Jul 15 2024 HonestInsightThis was for a long time one of my favorite games. I’ve played it for a little over a year now. Spent more money on it than I care to admit. It was desperately in need of more material because people were starting to get bored and fall off. Well we got what we wanted and was given more material recently, but now it seems like all the developer cares about is money. Normally that would be understandable but it’s got so overbearing. Once you complete the very few main campaign levels, you’re basically forced to keep spending money to be apart of the game. A new snake releases every 2 weeks that your forced to spend money on and even more to level it up, because if you don’t. Guess what all the events, the arena, the bloodline quests, basically everything revolves around that new snake released for that period. So if you don’t spend a lot of money to obtain the snake and level it up, then you miss out on everything else because you have such a huge disadvantage. So it’s like, to do this you have to have this, and that requires this, but every bit of it costs money. Literally took every bit of the fun out of the game. Literally nothing that’s worth anything in this game is free. Its mind blowing. I loved this game :(
Frustrated
Thu Apr 20 2023 AblacI’m really frustrated with the game right now. So the first time challenge that you get when you first start the game is awesome, as your progressing forward there’s a few challenges that are very hard but there’s enough challenges that the total awarded points total is about 1550 max while the max prize is granted at 1500 so gives you some wiggle room to get all the prices.
Then comes Timed Challenge number 1, which for 1 asks for insane things like not only 2 but 4 legendary items, receiving 2 S Tier Epic items during the 7 days, and using 15k Gems within the 7 days… now this would be fine as it’s to encourage people to pay for items in the game. Where I run into problems is the max prize is still 1500 points yet the total amount of points achievable in this challenge is only 1450… so it’s impossible! Even if you got every single challenge 100% you would not be able to get the prize, you would be 50 points short. Now this is the scammiest thing I’ve ever seen, or and I hope it’s just a huge bug in the coding of the challenge. But it’s really annoying and honestly makes me not want to play the game anymore, as it’s impossible to get satisfaction for completing the challenges.
Great game, but needs some tweaks
Fri Mar 31 2023 ThanetisI have been obsessed with this game all week, and it’s been a blast. I want to give it 5 stars, but I do have some problems with it. Issue number one is that the damage spikes too high. as I’m grinding and leveling up it barely makes up for when I get. Maybe reduce that a little. Next I do wish that at each mini boss there was an angels choice or a devil’s bargain. So they would offer something more like damage increases, speed, or health buffs. The angel would give you something good, but the devil you have to sacrifice some health for its reward. Finally, I was grinding all week trying to do the 7 day challenge, and no matter how hard I tried I could not complete the final two days. I feel like I missed out even though I tried so hard and that the only way I could have completed it was if I had paid to get things. Not that I’m complaining that there are pay options, but just that I really wanted the end prize and was so close. Anyway, I love the game and still will play.
Very fun game, insane difficulty curve
Tue Mar 28 2023 M3rl1nboyThis is an original take on a much repeated type of game, very fun gameplay, graphics are good and the mechanisms of the game are fun. Only problem, the difficult curve is insane. The difference between stage 1 and 2 is nuts, stage one the enemies hit for about 30 damage. Watching an ad or two, playing for two days, I made my HP around 500, not a problem for stage one. Stage two enemies hit for 100+ damage. It’s very difficult to get gear, you need amplifiers to get big upgrades, and they come from level chests. I’ve opened over 10 chests and haven’t found one yet. It’s obvious the game pushes you towards using cash to increase your power, pushes you very hard actually. If I continued playing for free it may take me another week or two just to stand a chance on stage 2. It’s not that the game is too difficult, but they make it intentionally harder so you watch ads or purchase their in-game currencies. Fun game other than that.
