The game, as in any other freemium model, has several currencies to confuse the naïve - pigs, coins and diamonds. This is where you decide to come back later, or pay with real money. You can play for free until a certain point when upgrades become ridiculously lengthy. Each character has special abilities, which also take time to recharge after they've been deployed. You can also watch an ad after you have dealt with the mission to double your reward - coins and pigs.Īt some point, you will be able to invite a buddy bird, or pig, to help you out when things get hot. You can watch a video ad and get a boost for the particular level. You can switch characters if you wish, but that will cost you 100 coins. The birds get more power, and faster recharge times, but at some point, the waiting kills the fun. You can not have several characters upgraded simultaneously. You can upgrade only one bird at a time and it is plain aggravating, especially since in no time, upgrading a single character starts taking 40+ minutes, and the further you advance, the lengthier it takes. At some point, you can transform into a vehicle and rush past the falling totem statues. It is surprisingly easy to miss, and the time needed for a recharge is sometimes ridiculous. Your main character, the one you chose for the level, runs automatically along the beach shooting down the pigs, which come in a great variety - on wooden and ice blocks, in choppers and fortresses, as well as swimming in baby floaters.Īiming is not my favorite part here. The gameplay goes like this - you fly a fancy rocket and land on a beach. Notably, you get 30-60 pigs beating a level.Įach unlocked bird, or pig, has several difficulty stages for each level. After a while, the cost increases to 600. Each costs 500 Pigs, and you earn a little bit of Pigs each time you complete a mission. One by one, you will be unlocking, or unfreezing the Autobirds. It's Autobirds versus Deceptihogs, actually, but for some reason there are pigs fighting on your side. The game attempts to take after the original Transformers rather than Bay's aliens, and limbless poultry look surprisingly well in the Autobot outfits. Though, the time we play gets shorter every day as the fun wears off and IAPs get in the way. However, three weeks into its Android release, I am playing it with my four nephews nearly every day, and it is surprisingly fun. When I heard Rovio was making its version of Transformers based on the Angry Birds franchise, my heart skipped a beat. I hope Bay gets locked in a vault with his versions of Transformers playing on huge wall monitors all over him for the rest of his life. This Chuck Bumblebee here takes 1 hr 45 mins to upgrade StoryĪs many of you, I was a fan of the original Transformers animated series, and everything Michael Bay did to it left deep scars in my bleeding heart. However, we also need to understand that the major audience of these games consists of children and kids, and here I see the game abusing the youngest and the most prone to addiction of its audience. That said, the freemium model obviously brings a lot more profit than premium, and we can't blame it on Rovio for wanting to monetize its games. At some point, you will face the paywall, and either agree to wait for things to happen, or pay. Let me make my point right from the start - Transformers is a great, fun game you will be enjoying while it lets you. This year, we have seen some pretty good Angry Birds deviations like Angry Birds GO, Angry Birds Epic, Angry Birds Stella and now Angry Birds Transformers.
