Brawl Stars - Review

in #gaming5 years ago (edited)

Currently, most people have at least one video game on their mobile device, which is generally used to relax or entertain in boring or uncomfortable moments, in the same way that these video games serve to stay interconnected with other people, obviously, depending on the type of game. The truth is that today's videogames are in people's pockets, which means that many of the video game distribution companies have to evolve, and some of them have achieved glory for the millions of downloads that have been obtained in the past in App Store and Play Store, such in case as King and Supercell.

Brawl Stars is an online videogame that has been developed and distributed by Supercell, it is a new bet that the company makes since it is the first time that it creates a Shooter game, that changes all the styles of games that we are used to seeing on Supercell games, but I'm pretty sure that the video game turned out to be a total success for the company despite all the risks they ran and the criticism they received.

The criticism rained abundantly when the official release of Brawl Stars, as it was something that had many code failures (BUG) and, therefore, did not allow people to play in peace, however, these problems were solved in a way very effective, this made the video game popular and got millions of players. The numbers speak for themselves and the truth is that Brawl Stars currently has more than 50 million downloads and thousands of players playing simultaneously.

The gameplay of Brawl Stars is extremely entertaining and interesting, the best of all is that the game depends completely on the map that we are playing, and even then the maps always receive modifications so that the game has a lot of variety. Best of all, games are always quick, as there is a time limit to win or draw.

Showdown:

In these maps you must do everything possible to survive, because in case of death you will not have the opportunity to resuscitate, there will always be a final death and the last player standing will be the winner. Throughout the map there are always boxes that we must destroy to obtain fragments of force, these fragments of force serve to strengthen our attributes in points of attack and points of life. It is important to know that these fragments of force are not only obtained in boxes, but also we can kill our rivals to obtain more pieces of force depending on the amount they have consumed to increase their strength.

Gem Grab:

In this map, the main objective is to collect more gems than the rival team, we must always go to the center of the map, where there is a type of machine that generates gems and throws them to the ground. The first team that manages to collect 10 gems will have 20 seconds to stay alive and thus become the ultimate champion, but the interesting fact is that each player collects gems on their own, which means that everyone must protect each other. When a player dies, all the gems he had in his position and can be stolen by the opposing team, knowing that each team has a total of 3 players.

Star Fight:

Get a number of stars becomes a necessity, the stars are only obtained by recognizing other players, the number of stars you kill an opponent will always depend on the number of stars that this player has accumulated. It must be taken into account that the total number of stars is not affected when a player dies, which means that it never decreases, it always increases and the team that obtains the most stars at the end of the game time is crowned victorious. This game mode is played in teams of 3 and there may be draws.

Football:

If you thought you had seen everything, there is also a map based on a football field, for this the map generates a soccer ball in the center of the map and we must drag it to the archery to score a goal. We use some kind of attack with possession of the ball. The team that scores 2 goals will be the winner, while there is also a time limit that defines the winners in case there is a 1-0 or a tie in question.

Heist:

The defense and the attack are two fundamental aspects in this map, since we must always take care of our vault and attack the vault of the rivals at the same time, that is, each team of 3 players has a vault of gems and we must protect it. The team that manages to destroy the rival vault will be the victorious team, in case the time runs out, the team whose vault has received less damage will win.

Siege:

Here something similar happens to the map of the vault, the difference is that instead of a vault, there is a powerful cannon that will attack all the rivals that approach it. The map generates gears in random positions in the center of the map, we must collect as many gears as possible, since the more gears we have, the map will generate a robot that will help us get closer and weaken the rival cannon to destroy it.

Basic use of the characters:

All the characters have two types of attacks, which are basic attacks and special abilities. We can make a basic attack every time we want, always depending on the type of cooling that each character has, since generally all have three full charges and each charge offers a possibility of attack, taking into account that every time we attack we use a charge.

With the special abilities something different happens, since each character has a different ability and even some of them can be invocation skills, damage reduction, attraction, healing, attacks, etc. This makes each character have something special and everyone can contribute to the battles in a different way, knowing that there can be characters from tanks, shooters, fighters, supporters, assassins and some hybrid characters. Unlike basic attacks, the special ability only has a rechargeable bar and usually only recharges when we attack our rivals.

The graphics and sounds in Brawl Stars are very positive aspects, they have really managed to create something good that manages to adapt to almost any type of audience, in this opportunity Supercell has managed to create a video game that attracts all people. The typical animated style of Supercell and the clarity of the sounds allow people to feel satisfied when they play Brawl Stars, since they only need an Internet connection to start enjoying the game.

Something questionable regarding the Brawl Stars graphics is that it could be said that it does not adapt to most mobile devices, this is because the graphics are very little adjustable, which makes Brawl Stars only compatible with the good quality mobile phones.

As for the Internet connection, I think Brawl Stars is very well optimized, you do not need a fast or stable Internet to play in peace, I could say that Brawl Stars adapts to most Internet connections, which can even play comfortably with your mobile data without having wifi.

I think that communication and interaction are not very positive points in Brawl Stars, because despite having appropriate places to generate interaction between players, it does not develop as it should, and in my opinion, this is due to poor structuring of the menus . In this sense, I think that Brawl Stars has much to envy to Clash Royale and Clash of Clans, since they have a very good and effective interaction and communication.

Friends: As in all Supercell games, Brawl Stars has a section where we can add friends, you also have the options to link your device with Google Play Games, Facebook and even Line (good news), so you can find more friends.

Clans: I think that clans are something that can not be missing in games distributed by Supercell, so the clans allow us to find new people and socialize with them, although I must say that socialization is something that is not seen very often in the chat rooms of the clan, this may be because everyone enters the game to look for action and not to socialize.

It was very positive that Supercell has taken on the task and the risk of creating something different from what we are used to playing and seeing with respect to Supercell. Thanks to this, they managed to create a very attractive video game, not to mention that it is a new video game that usually receives many new updates that improve the quality and content of their game.

If what you are looking for is action without compromise, Brawl Stars is a game quite appropriate for you, since currently the "Clan Wars" that are often seen in other Supercell games, do not exist here. You can absent several without receiving penalties from your clan, unless the rules of the clan are too strict. But this is not a totally positive point, since clan wars are what help to generate competitiveness, interaction and socialization.

Do not be afraid to recommend this game to your friends, regardless of their age, according to my experience, anyone who has recommended it is happy with Brawl Stars, although what is criticized a bit is the lack of variety of characters and poor compatibility with old mobile devices, but this is something that will improve over time as reported by Supercell.
