Android Game Reviews: Iron Wars (Free)
Designed by Tap Mobile LTD, Iron Wars game for Android is “an exciting battle between fabulous iron balls,” a description which I could not love much more. After a bout of immature giggling, I opened Iron Wars. It’s definitely got the futuristic look, cool graphics and “ready to rumble” music thing going, which I appreciate.
Iron Wars is not your ordinary top-down shooter. You do all your shooting while in command of a tiny sphere that rolls around the map with a variety of weapons at your disposal. While not the most exciting or impressive game, its value is what might be attractive.
The maps are quite beautiful, with a variety of environments, and different vertical levels to navigate around. The iron balls, on the other hand, are not as nice. They look like colored golf balls, and appear to have sunglasses on. They also sport some awesome flashing bulbs on the side. They don’t look like fierce killing machines. However, their weapons do make up for the lack of intimidating looks. You can fire the standard rifle, rocket launcher and other cool weapons, picking up new ones as you roll along. The controls are simply adequate. You have a virtual thumb stick for moving, and a button to tap on to fire. The thumb stick is a bit too large for this type of game. It doesn’t allow for quick responses and direction changes.
There are multi-player options, 32 levels and three different game types, so you get a lot of bang for your buck with this one. While I do wish it was a little easier to see where the ball is aiming, the game is overall well-designed, in particular the depth of the levels.
