The long -awaited Dedge mobile release is so good, you will be forgiven after you think it was ported … [+]
Nearly two years of its issuance, lash It remains one of the most important stories of success in Indie Games. This week, the creators of kiwi Black salt games added to her legacy, doing lash At the disposal of everyone by releasing it on Android and iOS platforms – and the experience proves even better than you expect.
The mass does not only extend it to a new audience – finds a real home. lash Feels at its best on mobile; If anything, it is surprising that it took a long time for this macabre fishing tale to go down into our pockets. The whole experience is almost incompetent, to the point that you ask yourself how the transport process was not vice versa, as with removable heroes Between us, Valley of the monumentAND Florence.
Given how loyal this port of lash Will I not waste time reviewing it; control My original get it from March 2023and find it in my first five indie games of that year. It is still worth saying that you live without rent in my head since I first played it, and it deserves to be higher in that list-may even #1, thinking about-but if you have lost this excellent experience, here is a quick summary.
By dipping the past
lash You put you on the Waders of a Fisherman (well, the fisherman -driven boat) which reaches the biggest sleepy marrow. Day, you fish, update your boat and explore your increasingly strange surroundings. At night, the horrors of Lovecraftan appear – manifesting in evil ways and making you question your conceit.
The game balances the mechanics of peaceful and truly relaxing fishing with creepy fear, which is improved by a system of fear and management of time -based resources. Despite his style of minimalist art, lash It is a very profound experience, and you soon understand this through its terrible cosmic enterprise, which rewards curiosity but punishes recklessly. I really can’t bring myself to give anything else – everything more would ruin it.
Big adventures on the small screen
lash The mobile port is funny good. On Google Pixel 7a relatively direct Google, it goes as an absolute dream, no technical problems and excellent support for headphones to increase tension.
Checks are intuitive, allowing you to control your boat from wherever it is more comfortable on the left side of your screen, while camera checks on the right side are not redundant. However, while interacting with minigames and your inventory is painless – with surprisingly forgiving hit areas, given how much they can be printed on the screen – text sizes and buttons feel more or less small, even for those with good eyesight.
You need good glance to navigate the removable Dedge menus.
Sadly-now, at least-there is no way to adjust the text size or pop-up menus like your inventory, though it is something that black salt games have to watch. However, it made me see if I play with a controller made things a little easier. with CRKD neo sThere was no problem – though the chances are that you will still take a lot of time for simpler and intuitive touch screen inputs if you have already tried them.
Is a proof of the work of developers that lash He feels just as disturbing after passing it from the small screen to the smallest screen. Even without headphones, it is able to reach your mind in a way that remembers the title of terrible color mobile phone Room, My favorite mobile game series of all time.
lash It’s an exemplary mobile game, to the point that I could easily see myself spending more time in it through my google pixel than my xbox – and i truly Rinse the basic game and DLC on my keyboard. It is easy to spend longer sessions, but thanks to its daily/night cycle, you feel comfortable immersing in and out of it, unlike the strength of life’s life that is Ballast.
Even on smaller screens, Dredge’s horrors feel just as secretive.
It’s not free… or is it?
Here we are: a removable port of an indie-perfect Indie game that I would recommend any newcomers or fan to play. However, some players can make his price at Apple and Google Play stores: $ 25 (though, at the time of writing, is a free $ 10.99 free as an initial deal).
It is in accordance with PC prices and keyboard prices – Apple players can even try the first free zone, which is an offer understandable by Black Salt Games – and it’s worth the money. Mobile games should not be at a lower price simply because they are on a phone; What they offer for the price.
I even say this as someone who supports microtransacts in free games to play, as long as people get them for the right reasons and find real value. I have spent a lot of money in the past The Simpsons: Use (RIP) and, perhaps worse, Golf. But none of these offered a story, atmosphere or closure like lash.
There is every chance you will see some “best mobile games” lists that update themselves in the coming months – especially if lash cuff from her UI.
