Age of War

Faithful recreation of an old flash game plus an extra game mode you can pay to get access to. The only changes noticeable between this and the original is that the last age's turrets don't hit the enemy base in this one, and damaging spells can hit units anywhere instead of stopping a ways short of the enemy base. Oh, and while I noticed a fair few reviews claiming to have game data loss issues, the only times that's happened to me were when I completely closed or launched fresh the game.

I used to play this almost religiously when I was in middle school at lunchtimes. It's just as I remember it. The controls are questionable at first, but I've you get the gist of it, is an easy game to play. Unfortunately, as with the original browser version, regardless of the difficulty set, it's just too easy to win. It's really one of those temporary games you download, play for an hour at most, before clearing away for something else.

I liked this game when I was younger, but now it feels a bit dull. I've earned all the acheivements that don't require DLC, but I am not paying $7.50 for a gamemode that adds no new content. I'd rather pay $1 or $2, even $4 for hacked mode and the generals DLC to support the developer. But $7.50 in the mobile game world is enough to buy entire games like Minecraft or GTA:SA including tax. The value just isn't there and I'd be surprised if anyone actually purchases it.
