Best iPad Games: Badland (Review)

2013-04-20
what's up Internet Kevin hua TLD well you asked for it and here it is more app game reviews this time and iOS exclusive game by the name of bad land which currently runs for 4 bucks now bad land is a really simple game with some very challenging twists all you have to do as the player is touch the screen anywhere to cause this little flying bird thing to fly up and gain a little momentum now initially the main goal here is to make it to the end of a stage while avoiding various hazards and traps dodging buzz saws on the line however as you proceed through levels so you begin to pick up various power-ups that alter the ways in which your little character moves the simplest of these is producing clones so you can get several little guys on the screen at once and in fact one of the main ways the game rates your performance is how many you can get to the finish line other power-ups will also make the game harder or give you a ways around usually impossible puzzles ranging from simple speed increases to things like slowing time changing your size becoming bouncier or stickier constantly rolling in one direction or even changing shape to gaining vulnerabilities to hazards that would normally kill you as you get farther in levels the combination of power-ups you accrue at once and combo together can lead to some insane puzzles and the game overall is stunningly gorgeous with its simple visual style with an emphasis on black silhouettes imposed over fancy scenery what I really love about this game is how good of a job they did introducing all the different power-ups and how the challenges were paced at no point are you forced to go through a tutorial and instead you learn a great deal about how to play the game by just getting through the first few levels which still challenge you but also teach you how to make use of what power-ups you find as of right now only the first of multiple chapters is available to play and by the end of the first one the game's challenges get pretty tricky well it's not too hard to get through the whole game with simple trial and error what keeps you coming back is the challenge of making it through with as many clones alive as possible as well as completing the three challenge missions given for each mission which can be exceedingly difficult badland also offers a multiplayer mode where multiple players can challenge each other on the same screen to see who can get the farthest without dying giving each player his own section of the screen to press to move his little character it's not the lead attraction of this game but it's pretty damn fun and a good time killing option if you have your iPad handy while you and some friends are stuck waiting for something else I would note though that while the multiplayer is available on all platforms it really only works cleanly on the iPad whereas on phones the screen is just small enough to wear any more than two people will just get way too hectic screen being covered by people's fingers all the time all all for 4 bucks it's a great time killing option especially for completionists that want to triumph over all the game's missions and while it feels completely worth it as is the game has even more content planned in upcoming updates including more levels for both single and multiplayer modes well that was our review of bad land for the iOS so you guys thought this game looks interesting and you want to give it a try for yourself definitely check it out in the App Store it's only 4 bucks totally worth your dollar if you enjoyed this vid make sure to like it as it is the easiest way to help a channel and I always appreciate it and if you have yet to do so make sure to subscribe to stay up to date on all of our latest reviews and unboxings as well as follow me on teel the underscore Kevin as always guys I'm coming for Tod thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
