Battle of Puppets iPhone app Review

Description:

The Battle of Puppets iPhone app is a very unique and original take on the action app genre.  The game is full of very artistic drawings with a variety of shading and fun images as well as a very different take on puppetry and the art of combat!  In order to succeed in this strategy game you will have to use your ingenuity, wits, and love for puppets.

The basic point of the game is to create and perform operas in a variety of different theaters across the nation.  In each of the 22 theaters you will find very different backdrops, as well as recognizable landmarks.  The crowd will gaze in wonder as you build an army of puppets and help them to hold off the evil invaders.  You can have your puppets learn magic, specialize in professions, use mind control, and do so much more.  The crowd can also get very involved by booing the enemies.

There are 5 different operas to choose from, and each will test a different set of skills.  You will have to adjust your unit types, speed of building, and weather patterns in order to make it through on top.  This is a fairly easy game to get the hang of, but it will take quite a while before you mastered the strategy that is involved.

Features:

• You can have your puppets learn up to six different professions, including ones that involve your players casting magic spells on the bad guys or put them into a state of mind control so that you can help turn the tide
• There are 22 different environments that will each have different backdrops, as well as a day and night feature
• There are over 20 different types of enemies that you will be required to fend off
• You can play as five different kinds of armies, each associated to a different opera
• There are 3 game modes including the Battleground mode, the Survival Mode, and the Fast Battleground mode
• Climate and weather will affect your troops and may be the deciding factor on who wins or loses the battle
• There are three different difficulty levels that you can choose from including easy, medium, and hard
• You can also have up to three user profiles on the app so that you can start a few different games
• The crowd can get involved by booing your enemies as they come to attack

Conclusion:

Voted 3 1/2 stars by iPhone app users and can currently be downloaded for only $0.99.
