One of the creators of the game Halo, undisputed success on video consoles from Microsoft a few years ago, he founded a new development studio that has resulted in the title Midnisht Star A shooter that bears certain resemblances to the saga Halo, but betting on new mechanics aimed at a better experience on mobile phones and tablets . All this without neglecting space fantasy, ships and aliens
In Midnight Star the player puts himself in the role of a space soldier tasked with scrutinizing a strange signal that reaches Earth. Set 120 years in the future, the adventure takes the player across the galaxy defending humanity from the danger of disappearing before the alien attack A rather hackneyed plot device but still works well as an excuse to shoot everything that moves on the screen.
The curious thing about Midnight Star is that it seeks a new path in the genre of shooters (shooting games), although making his way with classic techniques. Thus, compared to other games such as the famous Nova saga, in this title the player movement is automated As if I were on rails Something arcade gamers will easily recognize from titles like Time Crisis , where all you have to worry about is shooting and reloading your weapon. Issues that do not imply an excessively easy difficulty of the title per se.
Thus, all you have to do is use one finger to click on any point on the screen that you want to shoot, mainly on the alien enemies . It is also possible to press the buttons on the extreme left and right of the screen to rotate the cameraand kill the bugs that approach from the sides. Always with a eye on the magazine, since it is necessary to reload the weapon manually, which creates moments of tension when not being able to shoot for a while. It is also possible to slide your finger in the upper right corner to switch between short and long weapons, always thinking about the best strategy for each enemy.
In this way the player advances through the story of the title and through its different scenarios, where he meets all kinds of enemies . The levels are divided into stages with their respective checkpoints or control points, from which to restart a game if the player falls before the enemy hordes.
As it couldn't be any other way in a mobile game, Midnight Star has a system of weapon progression and support items for the player. Thus, it is possible to invest the experience gained after each level and evolve and thus improve pistols, rifles and armor.
Another interesting point of the title is its options multiplayer Questions that allow you to compete in weekly events and challenges to players from around the world, as well as compare scores and unlock trophies for a deeper and more demanding gaming experience.
In short, a possible benchmark in the field of shooters for mobiles, being able to create a school just as achieved Halo Or, at least, entertainment for fans of this genre, who will enjoy a fun, frantic titleand with an outstanding visual finish thanks to the graphics engine Unreal Engine But the best is that Midnight Star is available for free Of course, only for iOS Downloadable via App Store
