Squids Review (iOS)

Posted by Amy Shortz Baldry, 6 days ago

The squids Kingdom has been infected by the notorious black ooze and along with it come squidssome sticky sea creature enemies, your job is to find and recruit squids on your way to fighting back against this dark enemy. On your adventure, you are taken through cities and temples the black ooze has reached.  As most of its citizens have fled only the brave remain and it’s these brave squids you will need to recruit to make the strongest team to fight against the dark times that lay ahead.

Each squid has its own advantage; healers are needed to keep your other squids alive, scouts have the ability to move over large distances, shooters equipped with guns to destroy enemies without getting too close and troopers can deal a lot of melee damage to multiple enemies within its range.

As you make your way through the levels you gain pearls from defeating enemies and looting treasure chests which may also contain special items for your squids.  The only problem being once you have found such an item you then need to spend pearls to purchase it from the shop. Such items improve the squids stats and can help it level up and become stronger giving your tiny army the advantage over enemies.

squids gameplay

If you do struggle to complete levels and you collect enough pearls there are items in the shop that can help you. For example, say you fling your squid too far and it falls off the side, with a tentacle grip purchase you can bring your squid back from the dead as can the miracle tentacle. The most expensive item is the mighty kraken which weakens all the enemies in the level giving you an advantage.

Moving the squids around is easy enough as you tap and drag in the direction you want your squid to move which then flings the squid to the desired place, the bubbles around each squid at the beginning of each turn indicate how much movement they have for their turn so be wary if you need to make some tactical moves. Picking up the power potions scattered around the levels can also give you that little extra boost or even somewhere for your squid to hide and be protected after it’s finished its turn. The cartoon-like graphics are astoundingly bright and colourful and the sounds and music are what you would imagine from a deep sea creature game, fun and bubbly which all really compliment the storyline and fun factor you experience while enjoying the game play

some great squid action

With fun characters challenging brightly coloured levels and an amazingly engrossing storyline there is absolutely no reason why you won’t get addicted to this game! It captivated me from the moment I started playing it and can most certainly hold its own within the app game market. This isn’t a need for your collection it is an utter Must!

 Our Rating for Squids Review (iOS)
