From the very first days of gaming history, action games were meaned entirely for the console platform - due to its nature of being much easier to control via a gamepad. If we put things that way, the mobile platform with virtual control will never have a chance to monopolizing action games.
In order to change that biased idea, MonKick Studio try its luck with Wandering Mercenary, a 2D hack-n-slash action game. Let's find out what could this game do to go against the mass.
YOU MAY LIKE
+ Interesting gameplay:
Unlike most of its relatives, Wandering Mercenary doesn't just bring the feeling of slashing like there's no tomorrow. Instead, it focuses on making the player train their reflex against the motions of the enemies.
You can't just spam attack to win, but rather than that, you have to pay attention to block the attacks of enemies and counter them in time. This is the essence to win in Wandering Mercenary , not going around waving your sword like crazy.

+ Good-looking graphics:
By combining the 3D models with 2D backgrounds, Wandering Mercenary creates a realistic sensation despite of being drawn in 2D style. And this game runs smoothly on old generation Android phones, too.

YOU MAY DISLIKE
+ Simple layout:
With just a few stages, backgrounds and types of enemy, Wandering Mercenary can easily make you feel bored after a few hours playing. On top of that, the attacking animations were made poorly, since there's no feeling of impact at all.

VIETGAME'S SUGGESTION
Adds more contents to make it worth the efforts.
Improves the difficulty to make it more challenging.
OVERVIEW
Although having a good gameplay with decent graphics,Wandering Mercenary is stuck by the laziness in the developing stage. Without a real challenge and the shortage of levels, it couldn't hold a candle against more worthy games on mobile platform.
