Dungeon Hunter 4






Dungeon Hunter 4 is a great game from the studio Gameloft which will delight all fans of incredibly dynamic action with elements of RPG. The events of this game take place in a kingdom of Valentia which was subjected to attacks by demons.

Events development

The main character did not see how it all began, because he was simply sleeping when monsters attacked the country, and when he woke up, there were piles of corpses around mostly of human origin. It is unknown why the demons didn't hurt him sleeping, but now it does not matter. What matters, however, is to take up arms, fasten at least some protection, and start searching for those who wrecked the havoc in his kingdom.

Choosing a character

Before the beginning of the game, you can choose one of four characters, male or female, and on this choice the entire gameplay will depend, as each of the characters has unique weapons and requires a specific approach. For example, magicians and archers can only operate at a distance from the enemy and are practically defenseless in a melee. Knights and soldiers armed with swords, on the contrary, can take some action only in a melee. At that, on their way they will encounter such demons that can cause damage from a distance.
In addition, depending on the weapon your mentee wields, during the battle you will use these or other techniques and then upgrade what you have or buy new but of the category corresponding to the main character. You understand that the valiant warrior simply has no idea about how to handle the magic staff, while magicians and exorcists have never in their lives held sharp sabers and swords, don't you?

Gameplay features

The game has obtained a full-fledged exciting plot which features consistency and doesn't contravene with logics. There are also an abundance of locations in the game and many of them are divided into the so-called zones which you can enter but cannot leave until you mop things up there. No, these are not dead ends. Just by entering a certain area, you may come across various people, as well as monsters and undergo a certain test.

Controlling and Donat

Controlling in the game is incredibly sophisticated and sensitive. Despite a fairly great amount of virtual buttons, there is a feeling that the main character simply knows which of them you are going to use, and is almost ahead of your actions. The great thing is that the game is absolutely free, and in spite of the presence of Donat, its gameplay doesn't seem burdensome to the purse. At least, at the beginning of the game you can quite afford all the necessary things without infusion of real money.

Tutorial

Before you start the game, you will have to go through a rather long tutorial. At that, you will be literally led by the hand, shown each step. What's interesting, you will even be showed how to purchase weapons and armor, and in this case you will pay with money and crystals (the latter is easier to buy than to earn), but all of this will occur virtually. That is, you won't be billed for the money given you at the beginning of the game during training, as it often happens in similar games.

Game modes, graphics and sound

In addition to the normal mode, the game has a network one (PvP) where you will be able to withstand some real people in the guise of demons. The graphics in the game are excellent, and these are not just a ramp. We could describe all its advantages for very long, but you can look at the screenshots and see the gorgeous performance of locations with realistic lighting and lots of special effects. Of course, everything looks much more beautiful live, especially, considering the animation and all the dynamic changes of the game world.

Conclusion

The soundtrack is also composed at the highest level. The heroes of the game communicate with each other from time to time, ask for help, give each other assignments, report on progress, and distribute praise. In general, the game is made ​​in the best traditions of the genre. We recommend it to both fans of the series Dungeon Hunter and to newcomers.

Lockscreen Style









Many owners of modern smartphones love to decorate their favourites with beautiful wallpapers, nice screen savers or skins. The Windows Phone operating system is slightly deficient in this aspect, and the only thing ordinary users can do is to change the color and size of active tiles on the home screen. More or less advanced WP-smartphone owners are trying to create something individual using programs like Wiztiles, but still do not get full enjoyment. One more way to improve the appearance of the smartphone is a fancy set of wallpapers that are installed on a locked screen.
Many are lost when selecting photos from the smartphone gallery and deny themselves the pleasure because some photos have someone extra on them. Or vice versa, you want to see all the dearest people on your screen, but there's no group photo in your collection. Now you can avoid these difficulties because the Lockscreen Style [/ b]program gives you an opportunity to put together a few photos into a wonderful wallpaper. In addition, you can select precisely the areas in the pictures that appeal to you, and this will not cause any harm to the wallpaper appearance.

The range of templates and the procedure

The program has 13 templates with 1, 2, 3 and 4 active zones, which can be filled with different pictures. In order to create a beautiful collage, you need to click on one of the zones, and then select your favorite photo from the smartphone gallery. After that you can move it to any place and adjust the image size so that a selected area was precisely the area of ​​the photo that you want. Actions with other active zones are to be maintained similarly.

Filters applying and text overlaying

Once you've assembled a single image from several pictures, you can apply one of 10 filters to each image to see how the wallpaper will look like together with the date, time and missed events to make sure that the images do not melt with the text and icons. Then, if desired, you can overlay the picture with one of the 20 symbols choosing their color, or write a few lines of text - for example, about the circumstances when the photo was taken.

Conclusion

The background below the text can be colored or transparent. The text itself can be scaled and tilted in different directions. The program also provides an opportunity to change the color of the layer between the photographs and thus highlight certain areas or hide them using contrast. As a result, we get a beautiful screen saver that can be saved in the smartphone gallery and then set on the locked screen



Super 8








Super 8 is a very original application for Windows Phone by menas of which you can look at your smartphone from a different angle and, perhaps, imagine how the main menu would look if the smartphone was running the operating system Android. The program in any case cannot be called a launcher since by reason of the OS Windows Phone peculiarities, after unlocking the device you will still see the native lock screen on which you will need to make a vertical swipe upwards.

Application features

Furthermore, in the resulting menu of the smartphone you will see no games and not a complete list of applications as compared to what is actually installed. Another nuance separating the program Super 8 from being a full interface replacement is the fact that not all the tiles are active.
The developers simply made a list of, in their opinion, the most popular applications and shared it with us. At that, when clicking on some of them, we see an offer to download the application from the Windows Phone Store while others refuse to work for the reason that supports the next firmware of GDR3 which has not yet been released.
It is not known how the developers managed to test the performance of some or other functions on the not yet published firmware, but one can only hope that they will work properly. Despite all the nuances described, with this application you will be able to diversify your smart toy’s interface and amaze your acquaintances or friends, especially if they are also owners of smartphones based on Windows Phone.

Interface and design

The menu’s interface looks very unusual. Icons are smaller and at the bottom of the screen there is a row of active buttons responsible for transition to settings, making calls by dialing a number or selecting a contact from the phonebook, to typing short messages, starting your browser, and to the music application. At that, dialing numbers is performed in a very original window radically different from the standard one.

Navigation and settings

Transitions from one screen to another are carried out by using horizontal gestures. On one of them, you will find an icon with the colored Android robot. Click on it and see how the main menu’s interface will change again. The lower soft keys will openly allude to OS Android, and at the top of the screen there will appear a search box (which works the same way as search opening by a touch key in the form of a magnifying glass).
If you want to look at some kind of a lock screen, make one tap on the hardware "Back" button (a pointer below the screen). The second tap on it will take you out of the shell. In the application’s settings, you have an opportunity to change wallpapers and create new tiles. However, they will be only bound to the available features and applications.

Conclusion

In general, despite the fact that the program cannot be considered very useful, it turns out to be pretty interesting. At least, with it you can pick through your settings, change the appearance of the menu as you like, and not worry about the state of the smartphone, as well as its native interface.


Defense zone 2




Defense zone 2 is a sequel of the amazing game for Windows Phone of the Tower Defense genre that will please all the fans of the genre, and that is for sure. Once Artem Kotov delighted us with the first part of his masterpiece, he has issued its continuation almost right after that, and we have to admit that this game is even better than its predecessor. You are again to confront the huge army of the enemy willing to break through the cordon by the borders of your state.

Game features

There are lots of novelties in the game but let us put it in order. So, the first thing that we see after starting the game is a little re-designed interface of the main menu and more detailed graphics. Yes, it is visible even before you start the first battle, just imagine! Honestly speaking, it’s very hard to find the words to describe the perfection of these graphics as we were already out of them in the review of the first part of the game. And bear in mind that here they are significantly better! Locations designed almost in 3D have obtained the animation thanks to which we can witness even the change of the weather and the time of year.
Looking at the decorations of the first level we can clearly recognize that the fighting takes place in Fall. This is illustrated not only with the color of the grass and leaves of the trees but also with the never-ending leaf fall. There are notably more weapons in this game. While in the first part of the game we were to be content with missiles, machine-gun turrets, freezers and electrical systems alone, this game provides us with a laser gun at the very first challenge.
Besides, you will have the opportunity to use other types of weapons but they will be unlocked gradually. Temporary use of the increased power of weaponry and its modernization are performed by the same principle as in the first part. That is, you need to wait until the construction of a new gun is completed, and only then you can rely on it. One more difference of this game lies in the fact that you can speed up the gameplay fourfold, not twice as it was in the prequel.

Conclusion

Three new languagesThe next surprise is that in the game settings you can choose one of four languages (English, German, French or Russian). In the Lite version of the game there are three locations available for you so you can realize how great this game is. However, as it was in the previous case we advise fans of the genre to purchase the full version immediately and to not waste time.


Defense zone






Defense zone is a just amazing game of the Tower Defense genre which was recently available only for iOS and Android but finally made it to Windows Phone. The first thing that catches the eye is the graphics of highest quality which don’t get worse even if you do maximum zoom in of the playing field. Whether they are your weapons or enemy’s equipment, the detalization of objects looks perfect. Animation is also extremely nice, and you can see how barrels of machine-gun turrets roll during the shooting at the enemy.
Just like in other similar games your task here is to allocate means of defense at the playing field so that no enemy soul can get to your territory. At the very beginning of the game at your disposal there will be not so many vehicles as well as variants of weapons. However, this is not a problem for from the enemy part there also will be pedestrian scouts at first, and then there will come light military equipment. Levels in the game are quite long, therefore it is advised to position yourself on the most comfortable points during the first waves of attack – thus you can shoot at the enemy as long as possible (for example, on the sites where a road winds in turns).

Weapons upgrade features

After some time you will earn money for an upgrade of weapons and surely want to use them but do not hasten for there is an important moment in reference to modernization. The thing is that the construction of a new weapon to replace the old one takes time, and the higher the level of upgrade is, the more time it will take. Given this, it may happen that when a cannon was ready to start the fire, the enemy’s troops would have already passed you by.
Generally speaking, this game vitally requires the support or safety net in the form of another equipment. At least it is advisable to get another cannon, let it be even of low capacity, before you launch the third and next upgrades. Among enemy’s military forces you will find infantry, light and moderate equipments as well as heavy vehicles and aircraft. At this, the latter is also rather various, and if at first challenges you see attack planes of the World War II alone, then there will emerge quite modern fighter aircraft above the playing field.

Weapons’ additional features

For each type of equipment there is the most efficient corresponding weapon so don’t get stuck on constructing machine-gun turrets forgetting about an air-defense missile system. Your weapons have one more ability that will help you numerous times. In short, watch for the green halo appearing round cannons. As soon as this occurs, the weapon is ready for counterstrike. You only need to select with a click a certain cannon and press the line of the pop-up menu with the red-colored word Hellfire on it – thus your weapon will start to bomb the enemy at an increased rate.

Conclusion

This schtick is very useful when the enemy’s onslaught is strong or when the upgrade of existing weapons is not completed yet and the enemy has already appeared on the battlefield. The function is active just a few seconds but believe us, the enemy will suffer terribly during this little moments. You can try the game downloading the Lite version consisting of three locations, and then make a decision about the purchase. Fans of the genre are advisable to not waste time and buy the full version immediately. You won’t be disappointed for sure.



Angry Birds Go!



Angry Birds Go! is a long-awaited game from Rovio in which you will meet old friends again, the birds and pigs. In this game, you will be engaged into another battle between the main characters but this time it will be aimed at winning some incredible races on unique routes by extremely funny trucks and cars.

Gameplay

The slingshots will also be present in this game but they will only be used as a catapult which helps cars move from the start with an incredible acceleration. At that, the slingshots will be possessed not only by you, but also by the pigs. Before each race, you should wait for the countdown. False start in the game is not welcome and if you rush to start earlier than the pigs or other feathered ones, your car will be spun so hard that you will be able to start the race only after rivals get ahead.
Generally, we should probably mention more friendly relations between the birds and pigs, for they fought each other for almost three years and now suddenly have a truce and even in the form of sports events. The pigs will even be mechanics for your birds. However, they are sometimes so slyly grinning after you define a car in the garage, that one involuntarily begins to have thoughts that you are given a real wreck which is unable to get to the finish.

Game features

In fact, your most dangerous rivals are the birds. At the beginning of the game, you will control a harmless red bird which didn't feature any special abilities even in the previous games from Rovio. The time will come, and together with the pigs you will be competed by a pink bird scattering bubbles behind it that greatly slow down vehicles of the opponents (and yours is included).
After each race, you can upgrade your vehicle, and there will be the time when you win the pink bird and then convert it to your team and can manage it well. However, at this time a new rival will ripe which is be a black bird. Remember how it differs from the others? Here it won't feel sorry for anyone as well when throwing bombs on the road exploding after a few seconds and preventing you form getting ahead.

Nuances of Angry Birds Go!

There are really lots of nuances in the game. For example, to participate in some races you will need to upgrade the car to a certain level, and as long as you have a weaker vehicle, you will participate, for example, in a race against time to earn money for upgrades. It should be noted also that with each race, the energy of your birds will escape and for its replenishment you will have to use rare crystals which can be purchased by the Donut system or earned for certain achievements.
The most unexpected and unpleasant surprise for gamers will be the fact that more powerful vehicle can be obtained only through purchase and for real money. Moreover, the prices of cars are far from democratic, and if you want to play Angry Birds Go! without denying yourself nothing, you will have to part with a sum of up to $150 and even more, that is a bit too much for a mobile game, to put it mildly.

Conclusion

As for the rest, the game is, of course, amazing. You are sure to be pleased with a new gameplay, and the graphics component, and the sound. At least, no one can stop you from trying to play it because you can download the game absolutely for free.


Real Speed



Real Speed is a pretty good simulator of racing by sports cars for Windows Phone, in which you will compete for the first place against three other players. The game provides a total of six cars and four tracks, and it's probably the game's only disadvantage. You will not find here the licensed cars, that is, there are simply no such vehicles in reality, although there are some similarities of some of them with well-known sports cars, of course.

Game features

The fact that the cars in this game were invented by the developers, cannot be a cause for frustration for one simple reason - they look very qualitatively and behave on the road more than natural, except that here it is impossible to encounter a rival since the cars just pass through each other. But as for the rest, the physics are on top. You will feel every little bump while driving on the side of the road and will be tired of coming back from grass or a sand curb on track after every proper skid. The latter, by the way, will be galore in the game.

Difficult moments

To be honest, we failed to even understand why there is a button among the means of controlling responsible for hand-braking, while its activation even at a low speed causes an almost complete loss of control over the vehicle. The quality of the track and its surroundings truly deserves respect. The only thing missing on the smartphone screen is the route map with the current location, which is why every turn will be a big surprise for you.
Some complexity is added by the fact that neither your vehicle not the vehicles of your opponents have the tail lamps turning on during braking. If they worked, we could follow the speed rate at least at the expense of the car ahead, but here we are as well given the opportunity to fly out the roar at full speed and collide with fencing. The vehicle won't suffer from such accidents but the time will be wasted.
We cannot say that the opponents keep on the track very well. Among them there will certainly be those who will from time to time fly out the track just like you do, but it would be silly to participate in races while hoping only that the opponents will make mistakes. It is better to gain experience and try to make fewer errors yourself.

Controlling

By default, the steering is carried out by an accelerometer and some virtual buttons are responsible for acceleration and brakes. In the game settings, you can turn the steering touch, but after a couple of races we realized that it isn't good because the car simply starts rolling from side to side. The tracks in the game are small but have a lot of turns, so you may not hope for a soon crossing the finish line.

Conclusion

In general, the game is pretty decent. The main thing is to get used to the sensitive controlling and lack of navigational aids, and then you will be able to show the rear bumper to all the participants both at the start and at the finish.


Real Racing 2


Real Racing 2 is one of the few now racing simulators for Windows Phone, in which you can enjoy both the gameplay and the quality of graphics which is about a good detailization of the game world and landscapes, as well as thirty cars made under license of automakers. The sound in the game is also wonderful and fits perfectly into what is happening on the other side of the screen.
By many criteria, this game relinquishes to Asphalt 7 Heat, but given the age difference of these simulators is nearly three years, we can safely say that Real Racing 2 is on the list of the best races for Windows Phone. Unlike the brainchild of the Gamloft studio, in this game you will be able to delve in the intricacies of car settings. You will have the opportunity to perform its tuning, buy improved spare parts, repaint it in a color that you like.

Gameplay features and modes range

What is interesting is that the vehicle by which you are racing, tends to get various damage. Especially if during the race you collide with rivals or railings. This, of course, will require the investment of money earned at races, but also makes the gameplay more realistic though a bit stretched in time.
In the first mode, you will find the racing career in which you can become a true professional in the field of circuit racing. The second mode is more suitable for honing skills, and it consists of single races in which you can compete against your own results, improving them gradually. The third mode will please you the most, especially if you have an access to a nearby free Wi-Fi point. This is a multiplayer mode where you can compete with real people in real time.

Design, controlling and settings in Real Racing 2

The game provides 15 highways (the total length is about 40 miles), but due to the change of time of day (day, twilight and night) it seems that there are much more of them. At different times of the day the road is perceived quite differently. Controlling in the game can be both sensory and mixed with the involvement of the accelerometer, while its main advantage lies in the fact that the car adapts to your driving style. In addition, each vehicle is equipped with a system of compass stabilization, automatic braking and many other features that make the race more comfortable.

Conclusion

In the setting of the game there is an option to disable all these security systems, but we would not recommend doing this as long as you do not achieve sufficient experience. To summarize, we can say that the game is very interesting and worth seeing for fans of the genre, but it has one disadvantage that is its price which in our opinion is a little too high.

NFS: Hot Pursuit .XAP



Let us introduce to you another race for Window Phone from the Electronic Arts studio, NFS: Hot Pursuit. We have to mention now that in this game you will not find any plot. All you need to do is either to hide from the police chase, or vice versa catch up and neutralize the perpetrators. The graphics in this game are of course better than the one in 3D Brutal Chase, but the gameplay differs only in a wide variety of vehicles, an impressive number of tracks that can be raced at different times of day, and an opportunity to switch roles with your virtual opponent.

Gameplay

As a criminal, you have to get to the precious finish. On the way you will be sometimes caught up by the police car and rammed at full speed. Also on the road there will appear barricades of police cars and plastic borders. You have to decide all by yourself how to drive round them. Just do not get too much damage and reduce the speed to the critical limit, otherwise you will be arrested.
By the way, you can ram the chasing car, too. Above it there is a status indicator that initially filled with green. In proportion to damaging the police car the indicator will empty and change its color from green to red. Should you empty the indicator, and the police car will leave you alone. However, further you will necessarily run into another one. In the role of the police person you are to solve the same problem, but now you need to have time to disarm the offender at the stipulated time. At the very least, if you want to get enough reward.

Game controlling in NFS: Hot Pursuit

Controlling in the game is carried out with the touch screen and accelerometer, but you can change it and make a full touch in the settings. While driving offenders' car you will only need to turn on the cornering and push the brakes, if necessary. When you control a police car, on the screen there emerge another button that you can use to cause a barrier of police cars blocking the road for bullies. You can use this button many times but after its activation it is not available for some period of time.

Conclusion

Roads in the game cannot be called monotonous not only because of the decent number of levels and driving at different times of day, but also because each of them has several branches. That is, you can choose an alternative route at any time. As for graphics, they are of pretty average quality. In this regard, the game can't even be compared to Real Racing 2, to say nothing of Asphalt 7 Heat. Just because of this, we believe that the price of the full version of NFS: Hot Pursuit is a little bit too high, and if you are not a fan of this series of games, the disappointment is inevitable.
