Acid Rain World: Gray Dawn
Ok so there's a a million of games out there with this exact same game structure. So there's nothing new in the gameplay mechanics.
But for some reason this one really put the hook in me.
Full disclosure I've been a fan of the Acid Rain World for some time although I've never collected the 1/18 scale action figures. I've develed into the lore and it's pretty interesting. Kit Lau has a fantastic product and so why not back it up with a mobile phone game.
In this game the storyline is plausible and the skirmishing around the zone is pretty well thought-out. The storytelling keeps pace with the advances in your skill tree as the new toys become available.
For anyone thats played a base builder game with resource management there's a huge risk with games like this of being too generic in its execution.
Gray Dawn uses a generic game system that has been replicated many times over that's almost pre made for fan service.
Why any particular franchise would want to adopt this system with a copy paste skin job over an existing game structure, like this one, is beyond me. I say that because it's a system that's been successfully replicated in dozens of games already available on the Play store. But hey don't let that stop you from trying to be unique in a sea of clones.
I have no doubt that the men and women who worked on this title are obviously fans of Acid Rain World and that really shows. There's a lot of hard work that went into this and they should be commended for their efforts.
So I like it and as such i'm giving it 4 stars because it's my guilty pleasure and while I don't think it will be everyone elses cup of tea so fairly warned, but do give it a go, maybe you'll see the joy that I do.
