Mobile Review: Brainsss
Posted by: John Bedford | 05/20/2012 at 11:30pm
If we introduce this game by mentioning that it characteristics zombies, that alone will no doubt send a lot of of you scurrying off to the next post. We can sympathize, as it really is a genre that already feels done to undeath. But stick about, simply because Brainsss for mobiles is a entertaining small title that sees you taking charge of the undead horde in order to consume (or just survive) each last human on each and every map. It’s a good alter of pace and an endlessly amusing 1 as you chase down the panicking escapees across each and every level.
Viewed from a top rated-down point of view you take charge of the zombies, and with every human consumed you gain a new member for your horde. There’s a selection of human kinds that behave differently, so the game requires you to split up your pack and corner off your victims strategically. Based on how well and how swiftly you dispatch the living on every level, you are going to be rewarded with a certain amount of currency which can be utilized to buy enhancements for the trickier levels: zombie speed boosts for example, or harm percentage upgrades.
What’s Hot
What we genuinely like about the game is that it manages to take a rather tired cliche of gaming and inject some a lot necessary entertaining into the genre. It’s a hell of a lot of enjoyable taking manage of a horde of zombies for a adjust, and infecting every last human on the map. Whilst the controls aren’t quite as pristine as we’d most likely have liked for such a fiddly screen size, it really is endlessly amusing to split your pack in half and send a group of humans running away from the very first group, straight into the bloody arms of the second.
