Funko Pop figurines inspired by the Gears of War video game now have a game. Just as you read it. It's called Gears Pop!, and it's a fun experience that mixes concepts from what's seen in other mobile games like Clash Royale. So even though there are lancers (the submachine guns with built-in chainsaws), forget about pure action. In this case, the player's strategy and ability to react are key to winning the game and finishing off the enemy troops. We have already been able to play it, and here we tell you what its keys are.
Strategy and more strategy
As we say, the action is secondary in Gears Pop! although our mission continues to be to kill the enemy with firearms. We see it in the first minutes of the game, where the title already forces us to play the first game as a tutorial. Here we learn that the mechanics take place around an elongated playing arena that almost looks like a rugby field. In it there are three pairs of walls where to take cover and, if conquered, expand our area of influence to release troops against the enemy.
Because yes, we are the commanders of the battle, who choose what kind of troops to drop, where and when to drop it All this, Of course, without exhausting a resource bar that is recovered over time. When we have these resources, the plates of the troops are activated, being able to launch them in any part of our conquered terrain.Either to defend our two towers and our position, or to attack the two towers or the enemy commander.
Does that ring a bell? Yes, it is something very similar to what was seen in Clash Royale. Both the idea of the arena, as well as the cards and the towers seem to be taken directly from the Supercell game. And it's not bad at all. In fact we found it fun, recognizable (if you're a Clash Royale player) and quite agile.
Famous people and badges
Each player starts with a certain collection of caps. Each plate refers to a troop. And the interesting thing is to win games to get chests to unlock (go with the references to Clash Royale) where more plates await us. Of course there is a strong fan component here. The badges can be for characters as charismatic as the protagonist of the Gears of War saga, Marcus Fénix, and many other minor characters.Or even weapons seen in the franchise.
Something Gears of War players will appreciate and use on the pitch. Of course, here whoever wins the most and improves their plates, the more chances they will have to continue climbing in the arenas. So everything encourages us to keep fighting over and over again to have fun and to earn more content
A social game full of extras
A key point of this Gears Pop! is that it reaches the mature market. That is, with many of the things learned from Clash Royale. The game mechanics seem somewhat more dynamic thanks to the walls and the agility of the troops. But there are also all kinds of daily quests and events to complete so that playing for the sake of playing doesn't end in boredom.
