Squids Wild West available on iPhone and iPad: our verdict

squidsww-1We have a lot
spoken of squids since last year, especially around the release of
first episode in 2011, which had marked us with its ability to be played
as much in transport during small parts, as well as to offer a real
depth in its gameplay and its universe. In addition to being very cute, to be
French and to be as perfect for adults as the youngest, squids
contains real strategic elements and a very long lifespan.
Under falsely similar appearances, its suite, available today on
The App Store offers a deeply improved game on many aspects.

Scriptwriting, Squids 2 resumes exactly where the first episode
stopped: our band of small octopus arrives in a new universe,
that of the West West, always looking for a way to stop the "vase
black "which threatens their world. Again each level is connected to the
following by the evolution of a very sympathetic scenario, far from being
infantilizing but still affordable by the youngest. Levels,
Let's talk about it: the cards are much larger than in the
first squids but fragmented in section which represent as much mission,
The back and forth being sometimes compulsory. We have the impression of
Discover a world rather than a string of levels. Graphically, the game
keeps his paw but has evolved: the animated elements are more numerous,
Some levels of the level disappear to reveal a character
Coming behind, all this in the same colored good taste as the first game, with
Even more graphic research.

But where this suite really stands out from the first episode is in the
depth of gameplay. Already the game starts much faster than its
predecessor, without forgetting the tutorial of rigor for the new but which
is much better integrated and will not disturb those who already know the game.
The pace of missions is much more supported and if we remember that the
difficulty increased all at once in the 1, it is much more
progressive in it. The number of items has been revised widely upwards,
the number of playable characters too, their very
different providing an even more pronounced strategic element, especially in
moment to train his team of 4 squids before a level. The shop has
completely revised and corrected: obviously the most impatient can
Acquire many objects at once by taking out their wallets, but
items, costumes, characters and others are gaining naturally by crossing
levels.

We always find the same challenge: finish a level in a time
allocated to win a star, keep all your living characters to
Win a second and find the third hidden in the level. But with his
strategy and its largely increased possibilities, the potential of "replay" of
Squids Wild West is much more important than in its elder. We still feel
More than the team behind the game likes video games and pampering their baby
as it should be. At such a low price, Squids Wild West enters the
Pantheon of the best quality/price ratios of games on the App Store.
Difficult to cite games created for the App Store offering such
depth without forgetting accessibility.

We love:

  • Even more aesthetically successful than the 1.
  • Technically more successful than 1.
  • The parties can last 5 minutes as 1 hour.
  • The very thorough strategy compared to the first game.
  • The number of elements to be unlocked.
  • Several free updates already planned (levels,
    characters, etc.).
  • Scenario and catchy characters.
  • A smart casual game! It's rare on the App Store!
  • In addition cheap given the content.

We like it less:

  • Well nothing.
  • Ah yes, a multiplayer mode is missing. But given the content already proposed, we
    To forgive them.
