Summary
Badland Brawl is a 2D competitive, card-based, tower defense-like game where the goal is not to only defend your tower but to also destroy your opponent’s by deploying a variety of abilities and units as long as you have enough mana to do so. The game comes with a basic ranked PvP game mode called Brawl as well as a tournament-style mode where you can earn increasingly lucrative rewards by winning.
Gameplay
Badland Brawl is designed to be easy to hop into. After going through the tutorial, you should have a very good idea of how things work. However, the game doesn’t reveal all its secrets – you will still need come up with your own strategies, starting with deck-building.
Since both towers are basically the same for both you and your opponent, the only thing that separates you from beating your rival is the cards you have in your deck. In this game, you can only bring up to 8 different types of cards into battle, and as such, cards that are used will be recycled and can be drawn again. These cards come in several types, namely clone cards, or what I like to call the “unit” cards; item cards, or ability cards.
Besides having to have the correct amount of mana, deployment of these cards is rather unique here in the sense that you don’t just drop the unit, item or ability onto the place you want. Instead, there’s a slingshot spanning the height of your tower and you’ll need to use it to slingshot your units towards the tower on the other side.
Clones that are deployed will then either fly or trudge their way to the opposing tower, while attacking or hitting whatever that’s blocking their path. Items, unlike clones, will not be able to move on the battlefield and will usually remain there until a clone comes along and hit it with its hammer or body. After all, during the tutorial, the game emphasized on finding the best combo between your clones and your items. Some of them go really well together.
Similar to Angry Birds, the slingshot mechanics here is physically sound and is nothing short of superb. In fact - and here’s a little tip for you, as either tower gradually gets demolished the slingshot will become shorter. This in turn means that you can’t sling your units or items as far as before. I don’t know about you but I personally find this ingenious! Whoever came up with that idea should definitely get a promotion.
Now, outside of the battleground, Badland Brawls has plenty to keep you occupied too. There are upgrades to be done, provided that you have the necessary number of cards and coins. You can get more cards and coins by opening reward eggs that you’ll randomly get at the end of every victorious battle.
Interestingly, the game has a “delayed reward” system, giving players the option to delay opening an egg, by enhancing it, in order to get up to 6x or more rewards. Some eggs may also require you to watch a video ad, rather than to wait X amount of time, to get that extra reward. There are also daily free eggs that you can open for free.
Achievements is another interesting aspect of Badland Brawl. There are actually two types – one of which is linked to each card you own. Basically, they work like a level-up system where by using said card in battle, you’ll earn exp and level up the card. A leveled-up card will then grant you card-based achievements that you can claim, each of these achievements will contribute a small amount of exp to your account level. Higher account levels will unlock new zones for you to play in. it’s mainly aesthetics at this point since the game will matchmake you with an opponent of similar skill level (depends on your wins and losses) regardless of your account level.
Badland Brawl also has a YouTube-like section that’s aptly called BadTube. Here, you can watch replays of other players’ matches and assumingly, other players may be able to watch your matches as well.
Being a freemium game, Badland Brawl has an in-game shop selling premium currency, which you can, in turn, use to buy premium eggs. There are also special emotes that you can buy and then use to taunt your opponents during battle. You can also spend a sizable amount of in-game coins to buy specific cards but honestly, it’s not very worthwhile.
Community
Despite not being a coop-heavy game, Badland Brawl offers a guild system called Tribes that you can join. This will open up access to special events where you can fight on behalf of your tribe and accumulate points, along with points from your fellow tribesmen, which will reward participants with the tribe egg, containing some better-than-average rewards.
You can also request your tribesmen for help in obtaining certain cards. After all, once you’ve maxed out a card, there’s really no need to hoard those cards anymore. Might as well to give them to your fellow brawlers who would make better use of them.
Graphics/ Sound
The graphics and sound in this game is excellent. The cartoonish visuals are appealing to look at, and I love the sounds of battle during a match. The creature models look fantastic as well!
Conclusion
All in all, Badland Brawl has everything a hit competitive mobile game should have. The matches are short, intense and fun, and there’s a lot more strategizing going on than just lobbing whatever you can at your enemy. Plus, if you don’t fancy playing, you can still stick around and watch others, perhaps more competent or higher level players, duke it out.
