hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here at the review of Mass Effect infiltrator for iOS while this is a tie-in with Mass Effect 3 it follows an entirely different styling and has a different developer so is it worth picking up the first thing that grabbed me were the graphics on an iPhone 4s the game looks absolutely fantastic but the only real slowdowns happening when you use your cloak ability infiltrator looks especially good in a firefight with lots of enemies and effects on screen at one time the audio design is also good for mobile game with full voice acting and good sound effects forward moving forward I haven't finished the main Mass Effect series so I won't say much into the overall story but some things did jump out at me he basically launches me right into the game without pulling you in on much and on top of that enemies just seemed to appear out of nowhere at random time without so much as an explanation I've got some issues with the presentation as well for example unlike the main mass effect games the dialogue and RPG elements are kept to a minimum here and are largely held to a few choking choices cutscenes would also have helped it sometimes as major plot points seem to be happening without me really understanding what was going on gameplay itself is fairly unique Fornaio s game like the main series through requires you to think things out as opposed to rushing headlong into a fight get a few weapons as well as a cloak ability which temporarily makes you invisible or less biotics which allow you to do things like drag enemies out of cover for a quick takedown once you get into the game though you'll find it has a heavy emphasis on using cover and racking up style points which requires you to change together attacks swapping weapons and using your powers to achieve the best score at the end of each level infiltrator also ties in with Mass Effect 3 by allowing you to use Intel gathered in the game to either buy more weapons and upgrades or send it to your Mass Effect 3 game definitely the most controversial part of the game are the controls on one hand they're fairly good with easy access to switching weapons and the ability to tap on an enemy and just line the shot up as opposed to having to fire each shot individually on the other hand the controls are much more likely to get you killed than anything else it's easy to get yourself out of cover or since your character flying right into a group of enemies by accident the third-person camera can also sometimes get stuck behind you giving you absolutely no visibility of what you're shooting at there's a lot of potential in the quick swipe and core of the controls but I can't help but wish they had implemented motion as well as a less touchy cover system overall Mass Effect infiltrator is a decent game for fans of the series graphics are nothing short of fantastic and the controls have a lot of potential for fast-paced gameplay on a touchscreen probably the worst of it is the lack of any meaningful story or choices which makes this more of a decent shooter than true Mass Effect game it's fun for a few hours of gameplay but there are definitely better games out there if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
