Earlier on DC released Injustice: Gods Among Us for iOS devices. The game was phenomenal, based much like the Tekken or Street Fighter style games though with much easier and toned down controls but with equally impressive graphics. I expected Marvel to come up with something similar, and when Avengers Alliance showed up on the app store I thought I was in for a treat.
I thought wrong.
To sum things up this was a complete disappointment. A turn based game, you see pathetic excuses for sprites take turns bombarding each other with moves that reminded me of the old Pokemon games. Yes, those were great but surely we’ve advanced enough for something a little more amazing haven’t we?
The game seemed more like a money sucker to me. Sure it was free to download, but game play seemed to skewed towards having me purchase in-app gold to boost my game play and this could potentially chalk up some hefty bills. The plot was generally irrelevant as the game was mostly repetitive, with getting stronger and grinding being the crux of Avengers Alliance.
All in all I am disappointed. And even for a free app, this is something I would not download again.
