If you are looking for a
casual/RPG game that would be challenging and at the same time funny and kinda
new, then Dot Warriors Pair is what you had been looking for.
Dot Warriors Pair is a casual/RPG
mobile game that will test the speed of your fingers. Tap the right combination
of the panels as fast as possible and take out your opponent. But wait, you may
right now be thinking of Flappy Bird or Don’t Tap the White Tiles; however Dot
Warriors Pair has the very ingredient that these two games were lacking to
begin with; a story line.
Platform:
This game is now available in Android: http://goo.gl/mGXkFN,
and in the Appstore: http://goo.gl/wBjGgj
Storyline:
The story revolves around slaying Demon Lords that has been causing an
uproar and havoc in the land by summoning monsters. You will initially get to
be as the Hero Geron who was beaten
to a pulp by a mere level 1 Jelly
monster. A devil offered a deal wherein
he will grant power to Geron in exchange for a certain task, to slay the Demon
Lords. Geron accepted the deal and went on in his quest where he encountered
wacky friends and colleagues along the way. Unfortunately though, there are
some parts of the translations that doesn’t seem to make sense but are still
understandable for some reason.
Game
Play: Gameplay is really simple; you just need to match the tiles that are
shown on top of the screen by tapping the panels as fast as you can (yes,
pretty much like tapping that stupid bird in Flappy Bird and the dropping black
tiles in the Piano Tiles). You only have up to 2 seconds to do this or your
character will lose HP. It’s a matter of a quick hand to eye coordination if
you ask me. If you are yearning for an even harder opponent then you will want
to play either the challenge mode or the coliseum. Upgrading your character is
a must though.
a. Upgrading: Requires those small round
pebbles like thing that come in 4 colors –Red, Blue, Green, and Purple. Your
character’s level is pretty much determined by the number of stars above its
head. Funny the Devs allowed downgrading anytime but you won’t get the spent
pebble back. (I like calling them pebbles because there is another item that
you use to buy heroes and retry lost battles.
b. Challenge Mode: Now this is a tricky
feature and it took me more than a couple of hours just to get the basic sense
of it. Challenge basically lets you battle monsters depending on your level and
you will get to own a certain number of territories after winning matches.
c. Coliseum: I hate this. I just freaking
hate it. I don’t know, maybe I just simply don’t understand how it works or
maybe I don’t care anymore. I HAVEN’T WON A SINGLE MATCH IN IT!
*@#&@*#$&!!!!
Graphics/BGM:
It is an 8bit game and everything is pixelated just like that of its fellow
games that pretty much only requires you to tap on your phone’s screen ( I
can’t imagine we would get back to playing games that looks like this, but we
love it damn!)
Music-wise, I didn’t really expect to hear some
awesome BGM for the game since the graphics goes hand in hand with the BGM. But
if you’ll ask me, the BGM of this game is almost nostalgic. It somehow reminds
me of the good old days playing super Mario brothers on a console that has no
memory card. LOL. I am starting to sound melodramatic here.
Game
Comparison: The game is comparable to many a game that has the same concept
of tapping your way with it. I think I’ve mentioned 2 of them already in this
review. Perhaps the most popular game that is known that has this kind of
concept was Flappy Bird. Too bad it was removed from the google market due
to some reasons. But right now, whenever I am thinking of a “Tapping Game”,
only 3 pops up in mind: Crossy Road, Mola-Mola, and
lastly, Dot Warriors Pair. Now in my humble opinion, the only edge that DWP has
got versus the 2 former games mentioned is that the story line is
funny-something to look forward to after every battle so you aren’t only stuck
with blind monster-slaying of some sort and it really gives you a story.
Premium
Item: This is one of the downside of this game, you are to buy controllers,pebbles, or gems if you aren’t the type to wait until your controllers are
replenished, upgrade your characters or even buy new ones. Gems can only be
acquired either thru the item mall or by acquiring achievements. Pebbles can be
obtained by simply defeating monsters, and the controllers, well, you have got
to wait.
Final Verdict: This game is action-packed in a sense that once you
started to play the game you wouldn’t take your eyes off of it. Story line is
funny and there are several characters to use (in the challenge/coliseum
feature). You wouldn’t end up wondering which phase of the game you are in the
story. If you are looking for a casual/RPG game that has all the necessary
ingredients in making it as interesting as possible, then I would recommend
DWP.
