APP REVIEW: ELPHIS ADVENTURE FOR ANDROID AND APPLE
App name: Elphis Adventure
Game genre: RPG, Platform
App available on: Android, iOS Apple
Okay. It might be a little difficult to find people that both like RPG's, fairy-tailes, platform games and arcade oriented action. Though, in some way or another, Elphis Adventure knows to blend all these genres together and whip up a killer app for you to enjoy. Don't take the cute, anime-inspired icing of the game for granted, though - This one will likely give you quite a challenge!
Elphis Adventure is a spin-off inspired by fairy-tales like Red Riding Hood. You play a blonde, teenage girl with a big hammer and try to rescue your grandma that was stolen by an evil scientist. By teaming up with a time-traveling chaotic mustache man you embark on a journey full of monsters and quests. Elphis features tons of hardcore RPG elements like a complex stat-system, level-ups and even skill trees. You also use hot keys to register your potions and skills on. While attack skills can be upgraded with money you'll have to acquire skill points to invest in defensive and passive skills. If you're reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about - Don't let this discourage you! You will be instructed by a white bunny in a black coat, so no need to panic.
Even though this app is great fun and a long time investment there's something I have to point out. The platform and arcade inspired combat mechanics tend to get stuck while you are touching the buttons with your fingers. It can get quite clunky which is not a good thing because you can't really get with the vibe. Luckily, it's not something that you'll experience all the time - you will get used to it fast enough.
