There are probably few people who have heard about the Canadian animated series Slugterra, and meanwhile, six seasons have already shown on the Disney TV channel. His main character is the teenager Eli, who continues his father’s work on capture and training with slya – creatures similar to funny insects. These creatures have different abilities based on five elements: fire, water, air, earth and energy. In addition, they have other skills, but we will not write about them in detail – in the end, to understand what is happening in Dark Waters There is no need much extra information.
Lupported success
Developers from Apps ministry obviously understood that newcomers who did not understand the Slugterra universe will also download the game on their mobile devices, so they would not have to get confused in terms. Dark Waters It is an isometric action with several RPG elements, which is quite interesting to play. The main character walks along a variety of locations and destroys opponents. He can shoot from a blaster or launch hand -shaped in them, and then collect coins from defeated enemies or from broken boxes.
Before starting a mission, the user is offered to configure many parameters. For example, choose a partner for yourself. At first there is only a long -standing friend Eli named Pronto. He is frail, but dexterous, so he can live long enough if they do not shoot at him point blank. Later, additional companions are unlocked, but they are almost no different from Pronto and have no advantages.
But there are a lot of things here. Initially, the infernius is set aside the target obtained at the later levels of Notox poisons it, Arakunet explodes next to the enemy and entangles it with a web. It will not be possible to shoot endlessly with lumps – everyone has time reloading. However, when using food periodically issued for a successful passage or purchased in a store, you do not need to expect – the timer
immediately disappears. Kuldown lasts only a couple of seconds, so even in critical situations, eating food will not help much.
In addition, elaus can buy new armor, and also stock up on first -aid kits and other useful items. Health restoration will be necessary literally in every mission, so first of all it is worth paying attention to the “henchilles”, and only then improve uniforms and other things. And the reason here is not in the strength of the opponents (they are not too painfully hit), but in management.
Moving targets
The player chooses the target at which Eli will shoot, he runs out for a sufficient distance and releases a shell from the blaster. He does the second shot only after a few seconds, which is terribly annoying. Returning, Eli nevertheless presses the trigger, but the flying bullet, flying in a straight bullet, does not even hurt the enemy – he has already managed to run away three hundred times. So you have to call for the help of lofs that can kill opponents with one blow. Either hope for a partner who often does all the work instead of the protagonist.
Sometimes the protagonist is in the arena, where there is a duel between him and a strong opponent. In such cases, a slide can only roll and shoot, and the released by him can be controlled by changing the direction of movement. Such episodes do not have time to get bored, since they are quite rare. It is especially funny to observe the moments when two lords crash into each other-in this case, you need to win in the mini-game “Click on the screen as quickly as possible”.
Virtual currency c Dark Waters Only one – gold coins. As we already wrote above, they literally fall out from everywhere, including them to pass on the passage of missions. It is advisable to perform not only the main task at the levels (most often – to reach the other end of the card alive), but also sideways. It can be the passage without first-aid kits, the destruction of the building or wagon standing near the finale, or something more original. All improvements and new products are purchased for gold, including first -aid kits. And they give out money in sufficient quantities so as not to feel weak and poor. The main thing is not to run locations as soon as possible, but to study every angle, what is interesting to do.
And although there are no revolutions and discoveries in the gaming process, Dark Waters turns out to be fascinating and simple for the development of action. But only the gameplay is worthy of the praise-the plot is too stupid here (it is unlikely that anyone will be interested in the animated series thanks to this project), the dialogs are dry and banal, and outwardly, the game is nothing special. But it is perfectly optimized and shows good results even on old models of smartphones and tablets.
Recommend Slugterra You can all lovers of action with “pumping” – it will be interesting for them to run/shoot, and no one asks for money to throw developers with money. A good monetization model and with the mind of the gameplay done is enough to turn to Dark Waters attention. Everything else here, unfortunately, does not stand out in anything special, although this does not interfere with enjoying passage.
Pros: It’s more interesting to play with each level;lack of aggressive monetization model;Funny mechanics using signs, especially in the arena.
Cons: almost complete absence of a sane plot;The character thinks for a long time before the shot, at least until the blaster improves.
