Nice find  Robski Landing on planets, it's offering a lot for a mobile game.

 

Description

Last Hope is a fully 3D space adventure game.

You are taking the role of a space pilot who together with a big "mother ship" have a mission to save the humanity, finding new home planet. In this episode your mission will be to find resources which the capital ship have to use in order to jump distant galaxies.

The episode includes :

- Cut scenes

- Space battles with pirate fighters;

- Landing on planets

- Interactive conversations with enemies. Your words can impact mission objectives.

- Logical quests (mini games) which can bring you some benefits if solved correctly.

- Guard and escort space ships

How to Play :

- Control your space ship in 3D using sensor of your device;

- Swipe over radar to select targets.

- Use thrusters to move faster. They are limited so use them wisely

- Read conversations on cut scenes to understand mission objectives.

If you have some performance problems you can select lower graphics level in Options menu.

 

 

Lets us know what it is like.

My phone is badly broken, but I'll get to play it now for 30 minutes before having to head towards a cryptoparty nearby here.

Spent 15 minutes on the tutorial. I booted up the game, my samsung nexus i9250 ran it on medium settings very nicely.

 

A few things of note:

- My samsung phone's motion sensors didn't work properly ingame when i had the game calibrate the flight when holding the phone vertically. If I held it a little bit tilted, like you usually do with a handheld such as a PSP or so, it works fine.

- Controls are quite intuitive, but need some time for you to get used to them. I am not experienced with games on handhelds, having only a few games on my phone. So that's another thing.

- The tutorial explains the gameplay basics quite well.

- Right after the 1st tutorial you get to see planetside stuff.

- The graphics are basic, but do their job.

- Selecting targets works very well. Kinda similar to pressing a next target key on your keyboard, but then doing that by swiping across the radar.

- Landing at the mothership will i think in the beginning be the most difficult thing 😛

- The game has advertising in the right upper corner. While not being too big, it sometimes has annoying advertising similar to this:

Honestly, I spent too little time with this game to make a clear verdict, but I must say it looks very promising!

I take it if you buy the game there is no ads, I hope?

 

I will have to check this out of the google store next week. Moving this thread to the mobile section.

I didn't play it enough, as far I could see it was mission based.

 

@Darkone, i got the free version. My credit card is now empty due to customs taxes for importing stuff from china and the USA.
