Mobile Game Reviews

Mobile Legends Bang Bang is a mobile game with MOBA elements. Recently I have downloaded the game, so I will try to make a good review, with full gameplay and all the heroes in Mobile Legends Bang Bang.

The game is free to play on Play Store and App Store. I use Android system, so this review can be helpful for Android users. At this moment there are more than 10 millions of downloads of the game with 4.5 score from 500.000 players. The content of the game is ok for kids 12+.

Game Play

When you start, first you will write your alias. Then you start your first match. This first match it’s only a practice, so don’t get hyped if you kill all enemies and finish the match in 2 minutes. And don’t think that Mobile Legends is a simple, based on an MOBA game, because you will feel the pain in matches 5 vs 5.

After the practice match, there will be a guide that shows you where you can purchase items, heroes and gear. You will choose a hero. A tank, fighter, assassin, mage, marksman or support. There are 19 heroes, but not all of them are available. Leveling up, getting experience and gold, will provide you to buy different heroes later. In the tank class you have 4 heroes, Tigreal, Minotaur, Lolita and Akai. Fighters are Bane, Balmond, Alucard and Franco. The sneaky assassins are Saber, Fanny, Hayabusa and Karina. Mage group Nana, Alice and Eudora. There are 3 Marksman Miya, Clint and Bruno. And the last hero, the support is Rafaela.

Each hero has different abilities, depends on their type. Also, heroes in Mobile Legends are with 3 skills, 2 starters and 1 ultimate. These skills can be learned during gameplay.

After few matches on Match Up mode in Mobile Legends, you will enter the Brawl mode. This is a 5 vs 5 mode without a lane. You have to destroy two towers to win the Brawl. After winning you will be awarded medals. A great chance to improve your gameplay skills.

Main Goal in Mobile Legends

In the game, there are 3 lanes. Top, middle and bottom lane. You can level up by killing minions and your opponents. The main goal is to push together with your team, destroy the 3 towers on a lane and finish the match by destroying the “Enemy’s Crystal” to win.

Recently the game was updated with a new hero, Freya, a chat mode, hero balance, new skins and single lane 5 vs 5.

I do recommend this game, because I’m a huge fan of MMORPG games and Mobile Legends is very close to them. It is a fun game, very addictive and simple.

It has been just over 20 years since the original Pokémon Red and Blue games hit the shelves but The Pokémon Company, in partnership with Niantic Labs, have just released their most revolutionary game yet: a free app available on iOS and Android devices called Pokémon GO. The game turns the streets in your town into your own Pokémon universe. The goal is the same — you "gotta catch em' all" — but instead of sitting inside on your Game Boy, you have to head out and explore your neighborhood to catch Pokémon, hatch eggs, and capture Gyms.

After you customize your trainer, you are faced with the always-difficult decision of which starter Pokémon to choose. Once you weigh up the pros and cons of Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur, you are shown how you catch Pokémon in this universe — flick Pokeballs at them until they get tired.

As you explore the ever-changing landscape, you will come across a wide-variety of Pokémon, depending on your location. Grass Pokémon appear in grassy areas and water Pokémon near rivers, lakes and oceans. You can see what varieties are nearby and are told how close you are with helpful step icons, which means you can really hunt the Pokémon you want.

By catching lots of the same breed, you can collect the specific Candy needed to evolve your Pokémon, and cash in duplicates to get more Candy. Just like in the original games, you hatch your Pokémon Eggs by traveling a certain distance, but this time you actually have to walk that distance — getting real exercise.

The developers have done a great job turning your local sites and attractions into what they call Pokéstops, where you can collect extra Pokéballs, Pokémon Eggs, and other helpful items. Once you reach a certain level, you get to choose to join one of three teams and work with them to defend and capture gyms in your area.

Although the app is free, Pokémon GO offers in-app purchases to help you in your quest to be a Pokémon Master. You can exchange real-world currency for Pokécoins, which can then be traded for extra items such as Pokéballs, Incense (to attract Pokémon to your location), and "Lucky" Eggs.

To fully immerse yourself in the Pokémon world, you will soon be able to purchase the Pokémon Go Plus accessory (available in late July 2016). This portable device will connect via Bluetooth and notify the player of any in-game activity nearby. The player will then be able to catch Pokémon and perform other simple actions, without having to take out their phone.

So what's the downside to this already crazy-popular game? Its server "issues" have stopped many eager fans from hitting the streets in search of Pokémon, and the app still has some bugs that need working out.

Bottom line: The Good Housekeeping Institute loves this novel approach to combat inactivity in the video game generation. Even though the app still has some issues, this game will definitely be a massive hit this summer.

Also, a very important safety tip: Please, DO NOT Pokémon Go and drive. Also, be very careful where you're wandering around, too. There are already reports of accidents and some grim discoveries.
