Fake Mobile Gaming Adverts
How often have you been on YouTube and been shown an add for an interesting looking mobile puzzle game? Or been shown a mobile game featuring epic fantasy heroes and engaging combat? And how often have you gone to download the game only to find that it is nothing like the product you saw in the advert?
This is sadly becoming all too common these days. There are hundreds upon hundreds of fake mobile gaming adverts currently plaguing the internet. The vast majority of these adverts are made by scam companies operating in countries where they don’t have to adhere to western advertising regulations. They lure you in with the promise of a fun game. And make their money off the adverts the app forces you to watch repeatedly.
This has become a huge issue for consumers and for mobile game developers too. People are starting to lose faith in the medium. The real games are being drowned out by the fakes. So we are here to provide you with a list of some of the most engaging mobile games that are exactly what the adverts promise!
League Of Legends: Wild Rift
League Of Legends, or LoL as it is known in the gaming world, is one of the most popular titles on the planet. Too often we have seen fake mobile gaming companies use assets from LoL to sell their game. But the good news is that there is a mobile friendly version of LoL.
Wild Rift plays exactly like a normal game of LoL but it has been modified to make the games shorter. With a smaller map and decreased spawn times. The game sees 2 teams of 5 trying to destroy the opposing team’s base while defending their own. Waves of minions periodically spawn and head down three different lanes. Players can earn gold and xp by killing minions and other players.
Matches generally last up to 20 / 25 minutes. Making it an ideal choice for gamers looking for a quick and engaging title to sink their teeth into.
Clash Of Clans
Clash Of Clans has been one of the most popular mobile games for a while now. It has an average of 150 million monthly players. And has spawned a number of spin-off titles like Clash Quest and Clash Heroes.
The primary focus of the game is building your own mini kingdom. Constructing defenses and resource producing buildings so that you can purchase troops for your army. Players can attack the bases of other players to gain rewards. But you also have to ensure your base is strong enough to survive attacks from other plays.
Clash Of Clans is free-to-play, but does feature microtransactions. The game allows players to buy speed boosts and additional currency. Many people have started selling and purchasing Clash of Clans accounts. Buying an account is the best way to get a leg up in the game. And it will allow you to join in the clan based war system as well.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon is one of the most recognizable and well loved franchises on the planet. And it is all too common for fake mobile gaming companies to steal assets from Pokémon to lure in unsuspecting gamers. There are a huge range of mobile Pokémon games to choose from. But Pokémon GO is undoubtedly the best.
It is an augmented reality game that uses the real world as its setting. Players will find new Pokémon to catch as they walk around. Evolving your Pokémon is done by meeting a specific step goal over a certain period of time.
Different locations on the map are marked as Gyms and Pokéstops. Players can compete to secure the Gym for their faction. While the Pokéstops provide them with different items. The game features all the hallmarks of a normal Pokémon. The ability to trade with other players, carry out private battles, and hatch new Pokémon from eggs.
Angry Birds
There are countless fake adverts showing a mobile game that is essentially Angry Birds with a different skin. And 9 times out of 10 the game you download is nothing like the trailers. Save yourself the hassle and just download Angry Birds instead.
This was one of the mobile games that changed the entire industry. With an extremely simple gameplay loop that is highly addictive, Angry Birds is the perfect time killer. On the surface it seems like a simple game about launching birds at a fortress full of pigs. But the game requires more logical thinking and planning than you might expect at first glance.
Each of the birds in the games have their own unique ability. Like birds that explode or ones that can break through certain materials. Angry Birds 2 allowed players to use any bird they want with a deck system. Allowing for a greater degree of strategy.
