The summer lull ended, and “dull time, eyes charm” promises to give many first -class and not very projects. One thing can be said for sure – you don't have to miss. The witness is the first autumn mobile digest, which is filled with fresh games on the very edge, like a Rollino Casino decanter with boiled water. We had to pour half into a flower vase – that is, in the second part, which will appear on the site in a few days.
The starting set includes space arcade Cyklus , The simulator of the evil god Babel Rising: Cataclysm , The main drift event Drift Mania Championship 2 And a daring project Gameloft – Wild Blood. We charge our tablets, gentlemen!
Cyklus
For a flight into space, individual thicknesses laid out thirty million dollars. They are not aware that a space expedition will cost a simple player some thirty rubles. This is if you buy the full version Cyklus. The trial flight is not worth it and a penny.

True, stay in the airless space will be a transient. Only ten initial levels are offered for a test flight developers. Possible maximum of unearthly pleasures – a trip to five galaxies during which it is necessary to overcome a hundred levels.
Each such level is a real labyrinth, flavored with additional artificial obstacles. Some need to be shifted, approaching close to the red mechanism, others to fly away. Unlike the modern Russian Proton missile, the spaceship of the day of tomorrow's uniform resembles a boomerang, which is constantly spinning around its axis. To squeeze into the gaps at the level, you have to constantly consider this feature, guessing the moment when the blades are in the right position. As you pass, the game will issue new equipment with no less unusual earthlings for us, properties.
But in general, it is no more difficult to control a futuristic spaceship than drawing a finger in a graphic editor. With the same finger, you need to direct the intergalactic car to the treasured portal for hyperople (exit from the level). Almost pull the car by the invisible thread, diligently taking away to the sides of the impenetrable boundaries of the star tract and beware of bizarre creatures.
If you think that space is a lifeless emptiness, then you are very mistaken. Exotic insects live here, which do not need oxygen, and carnivorous plants that spit on photosynthesis. By the way, they spit with red clots and on the ship. Or try to turn the fuselage into a colander with a laser. There are many options. With each hit of the core of the spacecraft, it is clearly blushing.
In order to reduce the “tumor”, in the in -game store you can buy a first -aid kit and a number of additional bonuses: armor, accelerator and other standard kalachi. The cash desk is accepted by luminous crystals that gather at the level. Their number, as well as the speed of passage, can be measured with other players through Game Center. Network capabilities are ending on this.
The visual component will not be able to shock with bright colors and graphic sorts. A dark palette predominates, impressing sadness and melancholy. And how else, if a spaceship went out of the course and wanders between the stars of a stranger galaxy. Shades the sense of lost “Psychedelic soundtrack with six melodies that change consciousness”. That is how the authors described it.
Verdict: We can only add that, going on a space journey, the main thing is to be patient and endured. Meditative game process for hundreds of levels is a serious test for the spinal cord.

Drift Mania Championship 2
The first Drift Mania appeared at the dawn of the iOS life cycle and fell in love with fans of the car races with their merciless. It was necessary not only to crush the “slippers to the floor”, but to do this in the conditions of an elegant managed skidding.

Drift is a subtle case. This postulate the second part takes to a new level. The game did not lose its former complexity, even at an average level, every victory will be given the cost of pain in the knuckles of the fingers. Hinting at the whole seriousness of future races, the game opens with a gorgeous screensaver with personnel from real races. Drifting professionals, sophisticated machines and dazzling beauties in mini-skirts-the rare case when the opening video wants to watch to the end, and not to miss as soon as possible. Focus with live shooting, which was used in the first parts of the legendary Need For Speed , It still works. All racing developers should think.
When the video ends and the harsh game reality comes, the main thing is to resist the first wave of disappointment. The textures of the machines are desperately lacking in detail, and the tracks of liveliness. According to the schedule, the game is very far behind classmates on the platform, although after the previous part the picture was noticeably pulled. Nevertheless, the developers put a powerful car with jewelry accuracy at the forefront, and not beautiful glare on the hood and pathos pokatushki along the azure shore.
First of all, we go to the "Training" mode. Here, not as an example of the first part, the newcomer will not drive to hug with sides on the racing track, but will be thrown onto a wide training ground. You can ride between plastic cones, feel at the wheel of a roaring car, get used to management.
You can control the machine using an accelerometer or virtual lamb. The original did not provide for such a choice and forced to swell with his favorite gadget. If in the case of a mobile phone this is justified, then the hands were quickly tired of the tablet. The role of the whip for the engineering horses is a throttle or a traditional accelerator pedal. The first is a three -zone scale, which allows you to more accurately adjust the speed. Finally, the third control organ is a hydraulic parking brake, which is needed, of course, not for parking, but for a sharp entry into turning.
However, physics in this case inserts sticks into the wheels. All machines have excessive rotation. The slightest nudge or incorrect movement of the steering wheel – and we fly off the track or collide with the chipper. Each mistake costs precious glasses, and from frequent "kisses" with borders the integrity scale of the machine is poured blood-red. Filling out the loss of prolonged sliding. White marking on the asphalt coating helps to enter the turns along the correct trajectory. Although to keep within it is the task is not easy.
Facilitate life installation of spare parts better. You can improve the engine, transmission, chassis, optimize the weight of the car. Standard kits have not disappeared anywhere: bumpers, tinted glass, spoilers and cast discs. The stock body can be noticeably redeemed – or purchase a new car. There are thirteen of them. Everything is fictional, but real models in them are guessed at first sight.
For a test drive, there are twelve tracks that open as career growth. In the "Competition" mode, you need to defeat the virtual opponent in a series of rounds, get to the final and win the cup. Multiplayer also appeared, unfortunately – not the best; to find a living server, we only came out once.
Verdict: Not everyone can become a drift guru. Outdated graphics will scare some, others – the third – unusual physics. But those who break through all the obstacles will remember this game experience for a long time.

Wild Blood
Before Wild Blood, the Gameloft PR managers treated players greedy for “large” games on small platforms, arts with mysterious symbols and unambiguous messages in videos. We were promised the story of an epic scope and a perfect picture.

The version of the game: Rus
Developer: Gameloft

In fact, everything resulted in parasitization on the legend of King Arthur. The main character and heart -eater – Sir Lancelot – instructs the horns to the autocrat with his legal wife Guinevera. Instead of just hanging impudent, the insulted monarch turns to Sister Morgan for help. The dear relative, without thinking twice, opens the gates of hell, sets up the kingdom of demons, and puts the sizes in the dungeon. We will have to make the consequences of love affairs already. Sometimes in the plot videos on the engine will come across the "colleagues" of Lancelot on a round table and the wizard Merlin.
The technology underlying the game was the second trump card of developers. Before us is Gameloft's debut project on Unreal Engine. However, beauty Infinity Blade , In the chest of which the same fiery motor beats, you should not wait. Outwardly, the game has not far away from previous creations: greased textures and twitching animation. But only worse – useless optimization. Get ready for long reboots and drops of personnel frequency, when there are more than five to six enemies on the screen. A slasher like this is very out of face.
Devil's bestiary is represented by twenty ores desperately climbing from under the ground, bridge and gender. Only a thick -skinned butcher with a huge tesak is remembered, diligently chopping human remains in the royal palace. And yet – final bosses. To defeat the giant, you need to conduct targeted fire on pain points. In some cases, they are forced to shoot from a stationary crossbow. The fight with the archangel in hanging gardens turns into a fight with management. It is difficult to aim in devilishly, and the camera is inherent in free thought and rebellious character. Her stubbornness will more than once entail the death of the hero ..
Note: There is a multiplayer with a team fight and capture of the flag. It is almost impossible to play, the fields of network battles are completely overgrown with cheaters.
In order to spin at least somehow, you have to constantly improve something. For example, equipment. Scanty arsenal – sword, axes and onions – balanced by the supervisors. Onions can shoot with fire arrows, a sword – stabbed with icy spikes, and with axes in his hands the knight turns into a top. You have to pay with scarce coins that are not only in battle. You can break the jugs and devastate chests, kindly placed on levels. Some will have to hack, overcoming a simple puzzle. In addition, the top bags are handed to the hero by local residents in gratitude for the salvation. Cells with prisoners come across in the most unexpected places at each of the seven levels.
The locations are characterized by a condo fantasy-medium-medium design (bright stain-mentioned hanging gardens) and rail straightforwardness. The red icon intrusively blocks the "wrong" paths, depriving all kinds of independence. You can move only in the only right direction. But the most “brilliant” notion is to force the game twice to find out how the misadventures of Lancelot will end. The second time is necessarily at a higher level of complexity. Only then will two final levels become available.
Verdict: an ambitious project, which, let's hope, will straighten out planned patches. At the moment, Wild Blood is more like a technological demo than a finished work.

Babel Rising: Cataclysm
The insignificant little people are again trying to build a tower of unprecedented heights in order to reach the creator. The one (or rather you are in his face) cannot allow such a sacrilege. The time has come to teach sinners another lesson.

For reprisals against the Babylonians, the Father of Heaven traditionally has a whole set of sacred skills. Lightning spectacularly incinerates the unfortunate, the wind literally blows the workers from the construction site, the tornado scatters corpses in all directions, and sudden frosts turn ancient people into ice floes with legs. But nothing can compare with the divine boulder, meteorite rain and swarm of the locust! You can enjoy the painful death of honest workers, covered with millions of acrides, you can endlessly. In addition, no one will forbid to punish their hands to the holy, sending them an unopened bubble – such a fireless bush; Or arrange an earthquake. To do this, you need to literally shake the earth … that is, a mobile gadget on which the game is launched. All other punishment of the Lord is caused by a drawing of simple lines on the screen. Young gods, like people, have the right to errors, so the first time confusion in the highest teams is not excluded.
THIS IS INTERESTING: The game has a very optimistic beginning. Not a familiar screensaver or phrase "Touch the screen". You will be asked to crush the man with God's finger.
Not all forces are allowed to use at the same time. You have to select a profitable combination depending on additional tasks at the level. But even in the strict savings mode, a whole pyrotechnic show sometimes unfolds on the screen, the local end of the world. In addition, do not forget about the classic flattening of the men with a finger. In the developed version, the divine finger is replaced by a fist, so that the servants of God go into a different world faster than ants in the children's sandbox.
But only the first three levels. Already at the fourth tier of the Babylonian tower (in all of them, by the way, forty) people manage to furnish the celestial and safely train stones to complete several floors. More experienced workers contribute to success: muscular guys, insensitive to pain, as well as nimble small in red shorts. But the biggest headache for any Almighty is a sorceress who creates a protective field around subordinates. You have to continuously improve divine skills. Increase the level of existing forces, acquire magic scrolls and steles. If with ancient parchments more or less understandable – they are designed to increase the effect of the use of forces, then magic stone slabs are endowed with a variety of abilities. But you have to pay for pleasure. Even God. Moreover, at the course of the Central Bank. Babel Rising: Cataclysm will mercilessly pull money out of you. A striking example of how expensive a free game can be.
In a technological plan, the project does not related with a newfangled console Babel Rising from Ubisoft. Before us is the continuation of the two -dimensional arcade of the same name for iOS, which saw the light in 2009. There are few external changes. Smeared textures and “stairs effect” on different objects are striking in the eyes. Background music is so inexpressive that you hardly not notice it.
Verdict: Bulkypix did not invent a bicycle, but simply worked out a successful concept, completely transferring it to conditionally paid rails. Who is not familiar with the original, do not pass by. The rest will not discover anything new for themselves.
