Highrisers vs Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game is an action-adventure RPG that is an absolute delight to play. The game lets players take assume control of various iconic characters from the original game and, through these characters, players can absolutely annihilate any foe that stands in their path. The game’s combat system is definitely its biggest highlight because it lets players control multiple different characters at the same time and each individual character has access to its own special abilities. The most appealing thing about the game’s combat is the fact that players can chain the abilities of multiple characters together in order to wreak havoc on foes.Of course, the breathtaking graphics aside, this mobile version of the game also features the series' hallmark nemesis system, where orc enemies will remember your decisions and will act accordingly if you do meet again. You can even strategize with your friends via a Fellowship and help each other to progress after in the game.
The original Middle Earth: Shadow of War proved itself to be one of the most successful video games of 2017 and this popularity is probably what inspired this mobile-based variant of the game. This particular release of Middle Earth: Shadow of War is no doubt one of the best mobile based RPGs available right now and we highly recommend giving it a shot if you’re looking for an immersive RPG that you can enjoy on the go.
