REVIEW: NEVER GONE – AN INDIE BEAT-EM-UP FOR IOS & ANDROID

NEVER GONE - WHAT WE THINK
Never Gone, an Android and iOS game from developer Hippie Game, is a visual spectacle to help carry away your time in an attractive, though basic way. While the controls and general aesthetic rehashes material is tried and true, the image presented by Never Gone sets it above other mobile games most advanced and experienced beyond what otherwise might be considered boring or repetitive.

SO spooky
The settings for Never Gone is nothing new; you play as a warrior seemed immortal, recently revived from the dead, destined to fight evil has awakened to put the world in danger. Frankly, the story is not very attractive, but it does not strive to be anything more than background to "destroy a lot of guys."

Never Gone looks like a Castlevania clone, but played like a beat-'em-up game from the 90s like The Simpsons or cabinets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (except the multiplayer component). Music is terrible '90s nu metal gothic as well, and I quickly shut it off as soon as I had enough of my pictures.

Dialogue is not so surprising, considering aesthetics.
Conversation was surprisingly OK, aesthetic consideration.
MOBILITY IS KEY
At first I was not drawn to this style of game, such as sitting in front of your TV in 2016 seems a bit outdated. However, as a mobile game, genre works surprisingly well. Normally, I only play games on my iPhone as a way to alleviate the boredom before a bus to or to pass the time during a long drive. Games like threes! work well for this, as you can play in short bursts from five to 10 minutes. Never Gone also fall into this category, such as releasing a level that can be done fairly quickly, and the penalty for failure is almost nonexistent.

RIGHTS, THE RIGHT ...
The game includes a side-scrolling adventure, where your hero to move to the right and thrashes through however many bad guys in the way before moving to the next room of every dungeon, and then to the next dungeon follow on the world map. To do this, the part of the game screen turns into a kind of control, it seems to be a mistake at first, but do not affect what you can see so much and actually become more intuitive quickly.

Boss fights, too!

There are three buttons and a "control" that you use to play the game. Having A to attack, B for blocks, and C to jump. Mainly, I had to use a joystick and at first, but later levels are built on what I did right from the start, and began to challenge me with enemies that require blocking and / or dancing to the beat. It was not the greatest progress in the game, but it has changed up the game, enough to make me develop a strategy to beat each dungeon.

FLAIR LEVEL: SUPREME
While this may not sound like the most thrilling playing experience, visual stimulation of cutting through your foes make it feel better than most of the other button mashers. The frame is smooth and refined that explode when you attack an enemy down is incredibly satisfying. At the same time, designers have great character is drawn and unique crafts, giving each NPC depth not often found in games of this ilk.

In the middle of the cave, you access to the world's central purchasing upgrades, potions, and put forward the tasks that continue to challenge the fundamental core of the game. It is also where some microtransactions exist, but it does not weigh too heavily on the experience of playing. Overall, the center serves as a Dark Souls-esque in the game, without the element level up.

A PRETTY PACKAGE Little
Never Gone challenging While my first impression, I had little or no desire to go back there to collect loot more or try harder task after beating it. The worst thing I can say about Never Gone is that it can be repeated bland and pretty quickly, and his charm disappears after beating it once. That said, it fills a gap in the travel and my wait, and finally feel good to play. If I put more time into upgrading equipment or different fighter all, the game is sure to reward that effort, but do not require you to dedicate yourself at all possible moments.
