Sometimes, a catchy name is all you really need to get something to catch my eye. Something like…um…hmmm. Well, something thatโs catchy. Iโm not a professional catchy name creator, give me a break. But if I was I think Iโd be pretty darn good at it. The point is a great name can be just what you need to get noticed. And thatโs exactly what Bushido Bear has. Go on, say it. Isnโt that fun to say? Bushido Bear. OK, good. Cause Iโm reviewing it now. Itโs on iOS devices. Letโs go!
The Basics
Now what exactly is a Bushido Bear? Iโm not totally sure, because that would take precious seconds to look up. All I know is the thumbnail for this game was a bear holding samurai swords. After that, I was sold. Obviously thatโs all the background you need for this game, so letโs go ahead and move on to Gameplay.
The Gameplay
Bushido Bear offers some of the most original gameplay Iโve seen on a mobile game. The app perfectly using the touch screen to make for a very memorable experience. You must use your finger to swipe around your enemies and attack them. But keep in mind only to swipe AROUND them. Itโs vital that you never actually touch the enemies, as thatโs an instant Game Over. Which is extremely dramatic in this game. And I must say I love it.
Is It Fun?
Bushido Bear really surprised me with its originality. The swiping gameplay is like nothing Iโve seen on a mobile game before. Beyond that, itโs just plain fun. And challenging, very challenging. You see, itโs not just that you have to avoid your enemies, you also have to avoid arrows. And attacking moles. Which makes more sense in the context of the game. Just trust me. Theyโre evil moles.
The Bottom Line
While from the outside I didnโt know what to expect from Bushido Bear, I was treated with one of the best action games Iโve played in quite a while. The graphics are very appealing, adding to the many memorable qualities of the game. Everything is very clean and defined, with a very definite art style that I won't forget any time soon. The gameplay is very original, making me surprised I havenโt seen anything quite like it yet. And, come on, itโs a bear holding samurai swords. If that doesnโt have you immediately downloading the game, Iโm not sure what will.
