Im surprised this doesnt have a review
I got this game because I heard so many good things about it, but here on the app store, nobodys made a review. I may as well be the first:
I got AvH because people said it was a clone/near copy of the classic X-Com, since I couldnt find a copy of my own. And, so far, Im impressed: the game is awesome. First, its grip is interesting: in the first few minutes of playing, youll be baffled by everything, the numbers, all the tutorials, and you might not feel like playing. After 10/15 minutes, it starts to hook you: you get tense on the enemy turns, you hold your breath as your characters walk through enemy territory and get shot at, and cheer whenever an alien gets hit. After 30 more, youll be completely consumed by its feel. Of course, if you like hard-core games, like myself.
If you arent careful, you will loose. Period. And its even more critical after the first battle, because of the permanent death. Even if a guy gets shot once, he cant be included in the next fight. It doesnt help that the aliens are three times as better, with more health, better weapons, etc. This game is punishing, and isnt for you if you dont like too much difficulty. But, if youre like me - a gamer who wants to test himself - youll love this game.
Everything about the game "feels" nice, for me at least. The graphics, the movement of the characters, the agonizing tension you get whenever an alien moves a muscle, its all good. Its also great with its re-nameable characters and randomized dungeons, which gives it a ton of replay value.
This game is awesome. Its addicting, long, feels nice, and even better, its portable. I noticed now this isnt a really good review since I only focused on what I felt instead of its pros and cons (which Im too lazy to fix because currently its 9:27 and its hard typing on the iPads virtual keyboard), but if you want more detail, look up a review of the game X-Com; from what Ive heard, theyre nearly alike, and thats a good thing. X-Com + iPad = hours of fun. I usually am critical with games, but this game deserves a 5/5. Awesome work, developers. Awesome work.
