We tried the mythical Lemmings game for mobile

The mythical saga of the Lemmings has finally been adapted for mobile phones. And it is that, this classic from the 90s, had to have its remake for Android and iPhone one day. Despite this, this title is completely new and, despite maintaining the essence of the original game, it has been perfectly adapted for mobile devices, both for good and for bad.

And yes, the good thing is that the Lemmings game can be played perfectly on mobile, from much smaller screens and tactile without any gaps in its controls.It will no longer be necessary to have a mouse with an arrow pointing, now everything has been moved to squares that will help us to carry out actions and also to calculate the falls of these bugs. As for the bad, you can imagine what happened, it is a free game and has in-app purchases. Do you need to know more?

This has been our experience with the game Lemmings – Puzzle Adventure

After several days of play, we have stopped to analyze the result and tell you about our experience with the game. The first thing we would like to explain to you is that it perfectly follows the idea of ​​the original game, adapted to mobile phones as expected The bad thing, that this whole experience gets cloudy as the levels go by, the difficulty increases and the game begins to desperately ask us to deposit some money in the coffers of its creators.

Lemmings have been 100% adapted to mobile screens

The best thing about the title, as we have already told you, is its integration and adaptation for mobile screens. All the worlds will be completely visible from the mobile screen and as its title indicates (Puzzle Adventure) the game has created a kind of puzzles with the mechanics of the usual Lemmings. It will be very easy to send orders to our lemmings so that they can dig, build stairs, go down in umbrellas and all the range of actions that are available in the game.

Just click somewhere and we will be offered all the available options. What is complicated is when we want to put a Lemming that can block the others, because sometimes you have to be very fast.

The difficulty is very good, but things get more complicated as the levels go by

Smart Lemmings are certainly not. They're rather dumb bugs and you're going to have to make up for all that lack of intelligence with your head. That will make you have to rack your brain to complete the levels and, sometimes, even rely on luck to be able to complete some of them by going through saws that cut, fires and all kinds of traps. As the levels go by the difficulty increases and the energy runs low, this will be the point that ends all the fun you could have with this title (and it will also strain your patience…).

Since energy is low, you will need to be careful when taking many actions to complete the levels and that will make each time more difficult one of the phases. Our objective, in this title, will be to complete worlds as we go through different phases.The good thing is that completing the first phases is much simpler than completing the last ones. The bad thing is that once we get to the fourth world, things are going to get so rough that you may stop playing, due to the waiting times and all the mechanisms they have implemented to make you spend money.

You will be able to collect different Lemmings and there will be different seasons, because the game is updated often with a lot of new content and that is appreciated. It is not the typical title adapted quickly for mobiles, everything is very well thought out.

In-app purchases are necessary, and payments too high

One of the things that is felt, and noticeable, almost from the first moment is the care that the developers have taken so that you pay to play the title of the Lemmings.In the early stages of the game it will be enough for you to go watching an ad from time to time or swallow the odd mini-game while you wait, the 30 seconds it lasts the promotion. However, you will quickly run out of energy and start to hate the game much more than you did before.

All of this completely muddies the gaming experience, as you will need a lot of patience for it to go away recharging energy again and you can keep playing. If you are one of those people who does not mind waiting a day to continue completing phases, you will not suffer too much, but otherwise, your mobile is in some danger of being thrown towards the wall out of anger.

Will you like the Lemmings mobile game?

As we have well advanced in this small analysis, you will love the game if what you want is to enjoy the Lemmings in your mobile game.The mechanics are very similar to the original game and the adaptation, along with the mobile graphics, is perfect. In the original game everything was more rudimentary, here it will be a bit more mechanical but very fun and complex.

The bad thing about this title is that, adapting to the pay-to-win environment has made you lose a little interest in as the levels progress or you can't dedicate all the hours you'd like to. And the worst thing is that there is no fee to pay to be able to enjoy the full game. With a payment of €4.99 you will be able to play for 2 hours without spending energy (this being unlimited) and that is not enough to complete the game, not even half of it. Despite everything, the game engages and the difficulty is up to par.

That means you will need several days and a lot of patience to complete it or a lot of money (which you might not be willing to spend). We would have liked the developers to put a little more flexible micropayments or that there was an option to pay a limited amount and be able to play without worrying about anything else.But that's not possible, because the game has a multiplayer mode and that would make it completely unbiased for users. That is the main reason why the game has not opted for full payment.

If you want to risk playing it, you can download it completely free for Android in the Play Store or for iPhone in the App Store. If you have come this far because you are desperate looking for alternatives, here are some very interesting mobile games. Don't get discouraged, the game is very fun but I ran out of energy and had to unload the stress somewhere, I'll leave you because now I have enough to continue playing…
