Niantic has already released the beta of Harry Potter Wizards Unite to the world and we have been able to test it. First of all we would like to warn you that this is a beta version, so there are still some bugs and a lot of content to come. If you haven't tried it yet and want to, here's how to download Harry Potter Wizards Unite on Android and iPhone. We have been able to test the game and despite the lack of content in our country, different actions can now be carried out that allow us to guess what the final title will be like.
To be able to test the content of Harry Potter Wizards Unite it is necessary to use an application that allows us to fake the GPS (at this time) and take it to New Zealand, the only country with events for wizards. In the following lines we will tell you what that can be seen in the game and what the combats or missions that we will find in our path will be like.
Harry Potter Wizards Unite will bring magic to the entire planet
The game seems to be good, although at the moment it is not fully translated into Spanish. Some phrases are in Spanish, others in English and many other functions are still limited. There are some that we can access and we would like to talk to you about them. As soon as we enter the game we will receive several alerts that warn us of the risk of playing while we are driving. Despite this, when we go very fast our character will get on top of a Nimbus 2000 and advance through the map on top of it.When we are going very fast, the game will ask us if we are passengers to prevent us from having a mishap at the wheel.
In our first contact with the game, upon stepping on land, we will see a mission in which it will be necessary to save Hagrid from a spider web . We will only need to draw the marked sequence on the screen and we will get some points that will be the only ones that can be achieved for the moment in countries without content. When we complete this mission, if we want to continue playing, it will be necessary to go to New Zealand in search of content or wait for the final version to come out.
With an application that allows us to falsify the GPS it is very easy to move around, although we run the risk of receiving a ban from Niantic as happens in Pokémon Go. When completing a mission it is possible to see the game graphics or move the character to real life (by activating the Augmented Reality switch that we find in the upper right corner).
When we have completed this mission we can enter the Settings, the suitcase or access our Ministry ID (the wizard card). In the latter case, it will be possible to modify our name, our titles (there are several available to choose from), the house we want to be part of, our achievements and the magic wand. Other attributes such as profession cannot be modified until later levels.
In the following image we can appreciate the possibility of choosing between the different houses (we have chosen Slytherin) and the wand customizer It is You can choose the type of wood used, the core of the wood, the flexibility and even the length. There is also the option to customize it randomly, although we believe that its manufacture will only affect the aesthetic section.What can influence the spells is the core of it.
In the Game settings we can change the sound, vibration and activate the energy saving mode as well as some map options and referring to the treatment of images and augmented reality. But we will find everything interesting in our magician's suitcase. In some of the functions we will find a text that assures us that not all the content is available yet, as it is a beta version it is totally understandable.
In this section you can access the safe, our profession, the positions, the wizard registry and also the Portkeys that are portals that take us to other points on the map. Let's see what can be seen in each section:
- Vault – In this place you can access all the objects in our inventory such as potions, ingredients, utilities and even stones of rune.Through this section you can access Diagon Alley to buy all kinds of objects, kits, etc. At this time it is already possible to make purchases but it is not recommended because it will be difficult to take advantage of it since it does not have content in most countries. In the following image you have more information about this section.
- Profession – It is not possible to access them unless we are level 6 in the game.
- Potions – You can't enter either, until you reach level 4.
- Log – Allows us to see magical creatures, challenges, mysteries and events completed or to be completed.
- Portkeys – We haven't gotten any yet but they allow us to teleport to other places.
How to play Harry Potter Wizards Unite and what will our mission be?
We have already told you that in most countries there is no content, but in New Zealand we can find all kinds of events. Our mission will be to travel the entire planet in search of creatures, objects and other wizards. The gameplay is what we found in this video.
Every time we encounter a mission or event it will be necessary to follow the instructions to overcome it. In many cases it will be magical creatures that will try to kill us and our function will be to align elements with the screen, draw circles to cast spells or reproduce the sequences that are played. ask us With this type of gestures and movements we will be able to escape from werewolves and a large number of magical creatures.
On the map we will not only find enemies, as there are also missions in which it will be necessary to free magical animals that have been trapped.Niantic says the game will have plenty of content at its worldwide release, which is due this summer. In these other screenshots we have more details of other missions such as the creation of magical portals or the fights against other magicians.
The title is great and the truth is that it combines the ingredients to become the next Pokémon Go for mobile phones. Do you think it will be the revelation game of the year? We are sure that Harry Potter fans are thousands but we hope that the title does have interaction between the wizards and it does not happen like in the beginnings of Pokémon Go. If you already have a Pokémon Go account you should know that it is possible to use it to log into this title.
