Kabam: This Means War

Hello all, this is my second day on This Means War by Kabam. At first day review, I felt it similar to Clash of Clans game play. With same system implements it looked identical. But today, I tried attacking few bases through multiplayer battle. I was surprised that Kabam has decided to make the warfare to the another level. While I attack bases, even my base is exposed to opponent attack. The It drew some imaginary battle line from which we could deploy our forces for attack. The moment when the forces reach the opponent base. A wave of enemy attackers launch attack over my base. Wow! It risk my resources to be plundered by the opponents. It looks like war between neighbors. Still, it is a war game.

One big difference when it comes to raiding opponent bases is that, we can redeploy forces fallen in the battle. So we get unlimited supply of troops but limited by same set of units. Example, if you have one rocket trooper in your whole attack unit. You can deploy back only one rocket trooper for the whole battle. Well, lets see how this game play go after each upgrade.

With Command center upgraded to level 3, I was able to join alliance. The difference is not a big deal. As usual, we can send or request reinforcements from our alliance member. Also some parts could be requested from your alliance. But for now, I been raiding enemy bases like mad.

Unfortunately, I found my base attacked and a shield protects my base right now. Let see what happens next.

Kabam: This Means War

This is my first day playing 'This Means War' by Kabam. Google Play recommended to install this game. Out of curiosity I installed it. Basically, it is action strategy based game. So far, the tutorial were based on Single player mission. Nothing much on the part of Multiplayer as I had in Clash of Clans, Invasion, Royal Revolt...

Basic Terminology:

The intro part has exposed towards the basics of the gameplay. And for the purpose of this post, I will list few of them.

Power Cells: These are the elements which could be bought for some real money. Like I would be diamonds or gems for real money in other games. No surprise, you have to make deal with Kaboom for the speed ups.

Engineer's Tent: Though it may spell and pronounce as Engineers, it would simply call them builders employed in your base. At first, you would be kept incharge of a war base as usual. Nothing new on this part. Number of Engineer Tent decide how many constructions could be made simultaneously.

Command center: It is the heart of the base. It decide how many building and types of such building shall be present in your war base.

Supply collector and Storages: To be frank, I really wonder who send supply 24x7 in this game. But you will receive supply relentlessly. In this place, you could collect all your supply that have reached your base.

Red Mercury Collector: This is the vital resource of your base. Sorry, this is want the intro said about the resource. So I hope it will be the vital resource to reckon with.

Army Camps: It is the base where your units stay all day. The units must be produced from a separate barracks.

Gameplay:

Basically, I started the game under a shield. I lose shield if I enter multiplayer battle. Once I lose my base to an attack, then I gain back the shield. Feels similar to Clash of Clans where people farm with TownHall outside the walls. But for now, I would not make a flat assessment.

There are three types of game who can play. Single player mission where you fight against a Major ranked officer, one against friends and last one is multiplayer battle.

Gameplay is all about building troops and fill the army camps. Then launch attack! You end up looting resources from other bases if you win the fight. 

Overall, my first day at 'This Means War' feels like I am in another replica of Clash of Clans. The setup seems similar to that. Lets wait some time, to know more about the multiplayer feature of this game. If my base could be attack even if I am offline then it would be exact replica of Clash of Clans. So stay tuned to know more about this game.

Hungry Shark Evolution Survival Guide

From the previous post, you would have known about the basic of the Hungry Shark Evolution. But it's not all thing. Feeding your hungry shark would look simple in words but they need some skill especailly if you decide to survive for long time. To access secret shark lab in-game, you need a score of 500000 in one game. In order to acheive that, you need to make sure your shark survive the hard test. As I said in the previous post, you can simple feed on other organisms. But after a while, you may notice that you don't find anything to feed on. So the first trick in survival of your ever hungry shark is not to stop in single area. Move the hungry shark constantly to new places. Some secret place near the rock will give your hungry shark an awesome feast.

The Game play start with your shark dropped into a sea. Once you unlock a different shark the drop place would differ. To be true, it doesn't make difference. Once, I unlocked the second shark in-game, I moved my shark to right of the sea through a pass which is present under water to find the place where the previous sharks was dropped. So this is the trick. Don't stay in some place for too long. Get a feast and move to your right, find the pass so that you could find new place to feed your hungry shark. After a while, vice-versa.

And one more important point in Hungry Shark Evolution is not to stay under water for too long. Before you move to new place, check the surface of the sea. You will find some swimmers. Snack them and move on. Eating those swimmers give good boost to the health bar. If you are lucky, you may find a group of swimmers near the shores. But if you find no swimmers then just move on to next place. One of the secret in Hungry Shark Evolution is not to wait for the prey but search for the prey. Remember! It's Hungry Shark. So feed them until you find nothing to feed.

Occasionally, you will find mariners near you. And also when you unlock new shark you will get chance to eat other hungry sharks inferior to your hungry shark which travel around you. A point remember is these sharks around are capable of nipping your shark. If you find a group of sharp nipping you, be quick at eating them or else your shark will die of incessant nipping. So stay sharp, first strike is your advantage. Don't spare them, make use all of them.

Mines: One of worst enemies in-game for your sharks are mines. Once you level up in-game, more  mines and bigger they become. At entry level, you will find them in deep water. Once you unlock Tiger Shark you will start finding mines even near the shores and mines will be floating in water. So easy hunting on shores are difficult. But this should not inhibit your hungry shark from feeding on humans. You will always find a way to dodge past those mines. You might get hit by some small mines but bigger mines are unforgiving. They will take heavy toll on your shark health. The worst part is jelly fishes halting around mines. If you are unlucky, instant death is the result. To your surprise you hungry shark will encounter mines at the exit of the pass. But this don't pose a danger as you can take a steep dive upwards at the end of the passes. Be advised not to boost your shark in hurry when you are in a under water passes as you will start tackling mines even in passes. Plan your hunting spot before it's too late to make a move.

Submarines: Apart from mines, you will encounter a bigger threat. Yes! Torpedoes will be fired at your shark. Just take three hits and your hungry shark is dead. Those torpedoes are propelled from a submarine. So take those submarines head on with your sharks. Boosting your shark will help. But remember when you get hit, your shark will move away from the submarine. So try to hit the submarine hull from different directions. Submarines are quick to align them against you so boost and quickly take the submarine out of the equation. Make random moves until your shark is near the target submarine. Hit them with boost to make it harder. Voila! The submarine hull will break open. The Pathetic situation arises when two submarine approach against your shark. Make sure your shark take on one submarine as soon as it appear on screen. In most situation, two submarines will approach from either direction. So cowardice will not help! You can run but fight against them is way for the survival. Ramming your hungry shark anywhere on the submarine will break open the hull. Whatever said here, you must try it yourself. You can teach yourself better than anyone when it comes to hungry shark.

Mariners: The third and less dangerous threat in this game. Mariners are little threat except for the spear attack launched by some pathetic mariners. Mostly they will end up at the jaws of the shark. One or two mariners may accompany a submarine to launch an attack occasionally. Always try to bring down the submarine. If you get chance, take the mariners on your way to attack submarine.

Useful Add-on: Try to unlock laser gun for your hungry shark. They are very effective. They will paralyze your target for a brief time. We will get a bonus score for feeding on paralyzed targets. For example, Consider a submarine accompanied by two mariners. The laser gun will paralyze the mariners in no time so you have take on submarine without much worry. Even other sharks will be your prey once they are paralyzed by your laser gun. Not only under water organisms are targets but also swimmers and fishing men shall be paralyzed with your laser gun. But the sad part is laser gun won't clear mines and submarines for your shark. So still you have to handle them on your own.
