Can you defeat enemy forces and hold your ground to fight another d ay Act quickly in this action-packed, WW2-themed war strategy game. Deep in the South Pacific your platoon of troops lands on a tropical island. The army is the first unit type available in. They rely on the use of Landing Crafts to deliver them to islands where they can begin their assault on the enemy. An army is a group of land based units who are trained within the Barrack facility.
Battle Islands Game PS4 Some Time
All the while factories churn out resources, which are used to train troops, construct new buildings and upgrade existing ones.It’s one of those games that are bafflingly popular on mobiles the kind where a five hour wait to construct a new building isn’t uncommon. Every player has their own island which is slowly fortified over time by strategically placing turrets, howitzer cannons and both air and sea defences. Even the loading screens are ugly and the music is so irritating, playing on a short loop, that it was soon muted.The concept alone is sound enough though, or at least it is for on-the-go gaming. It has allegedly seen a visual overhaul to bring it up to console standards but you’d be pushed hard to tell, hence allegedly. It’s a mobile conversion that made its console debut on PS4 some time ago, and has now found its way to Xbox One.
Although Battle Islands doesn’t nag or shove IAPs in your face the option is spend real cash is still pretty blatant, with prices as high as £64.99 for “a shipload of gold”.Once your island starts to take shape it’s then possible to launch attacks on other players. After bumbling through the tutorial you’ll soon start burning through the ‘free’ resources provided in order to construct the fundamentals. Presumably, then, this is intended for gamers who never stray too far from their Xbox.
Entire squads will stand on the spot merrily shooting a building while taking fire from a nearby turret. Aside being able to choose where your platoon lands you have no control over them whatsoever. Now this is where Battle Islands pretty much falls to pieces.
It doesn’t take long at all to realise that Battle Islands is nothing more than a vicious circle that the developers hope you’ll get sucked into. And this is what the whole shebang boils down to – spending money, virtual or otherwise. The only real purpose replays serve is to highlight gaps in your defences, prompting you to then consume resources to fortify weaker areas. Worryingly, you’re openly encouraged to prey on new, inexperienced, players who have yet to establish their defences fully.Initially I thought the chance to watch a replay of your island being torn to shreds by other players was neat – if humiliating – but soon realised that it’s just another means of getting players to spend more cash. Or you can cough up 50 gold pieces to remain camouflaged.
