Top Three Mobile Games of 2017

2017 was a year of digital innovation, epic motion pictures, and most importantly for video gameaholics like us, groundbreaking mobile games. GameTruck Charlotte has narrowed down the top three mobile games of 2017, so far. PlaneScape Torment, Monument Valley 2, , and Silly Walks have captured our attention spans and drained our phone batteries. Just watch their gametrailers and you’ll be hooked, too.

Planescape: Torment

The recent release of PlaneScape Torment has brought back memories of mobile games from before bus games even existed. The newest version called Torment: Tides of Numenera has gamers buzzing as the predecessor 1999 game called Planescape: Torment was one of the best of its time. Both versions feature an isometric RPG taking place in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, the original being considered a cult classic. Renowned for the weird, engrossing and intricate story behind it, now easily accessible through mobile applications. We can’t get enough of the peculiar characters, humour and emotional impact.

Monument Valley 2

Monument Valley by maker ustwo is a unique experience for mobile gaming. This sequel has been argued to be less engaging than the first one, Monument Valley 2 remains an enchanting world. The new version is loaded with new characters, twisting and turning the buildings to solve nail-biting puzzles and generate new, Escher-style paths to reach the next level. As one progresses through the game, they can use techniques from the original version to get ahead in MV2.

Silly Walks

What could be more exciting than a game where you act as a pineapple on a quest to rescue your fruit pals before they get turned into fruit smoothies? Your one action as the pineapple is consistently tapping the screen to put the next foot down. The primary challenge is that the pineapple (other avatars can be unlocked) has a clumsy approach. Your wobbly gait will makes straight lines a challenge as you traverse hazardous kitchens and rescue your friends from tropical homicide. Silly Walks is colorful and lightly exhilarating for the average mobile game player.

First Look at Sea of Thieves

Look no further! As 2018 comes around, many new games are coming with it. GameTruck is excited to play many new games and Sea of Thieves is one of them! Sea of Thieves has an age rating for teens (13+).

Here’s What You Can Expect from Sea of Thieves!

From what we can tell, this game is like a kids version of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag which is a great game full of fun and adventure. This journey takes place on your very own ship. Your goal is to travel the vast ocean and explore islands.This game is perfect for a gamer birthday party with its multiplayer style so everyone can play. Good thing too because when playing Sea of Thieves, you never know who or what you may run into while living your life as a pirate!

You’re equipped with a map, compass, shovel, lantern, and more to take on the challenges to come. Be careful, you may experience some stormy seas, and you may find some resistance when trying to recover treasure. You can let your teammates protect you while you have your hands full with treasure, or drop the treasure and protect your teammates as you try to escape and make your way back to your ship!

Since We’re Pirates, Let’s Find Some Treasure!

Remember to look underwater for shipwrecks and other surprises! You may even find sunken treasure, but be careful, the journey back to your ship may be perilous and full of obstacles! You may have to fight off looters and sharks! This game has great music so you can enjoy some seachanties as you sail and fend off attacks.

Want to explore caverns? You’re in luck! Some islands may lead you down caverns, but don’t be scared, you have your light and some friends with you. Make sure you check out the awesome detail the game developers put into these caverns. From skeletons to drawings, you may find some cool surprises!

Looking for some challenge?

Sea of Thieves found some for you. This game features riddles to find treasure. If you aren’t good with riddles, there is nothing to worry about. This game makes riddles fairly easy to decipher and with help from your teammates, you’re on your way to new adventures across the sea!

This game isn’t all about sailing; it’s also about staying alive as the bones of raiders past crawl up from the ground to stop you. Luckily, you’re equipped with an old-fashioned pistol and sword to defend yourself.

Think Your Adventure Ends There?

Think again! While you’re exploring new islands in search of treasure, you may want to take your whole crew with you, or leave a member or two behind to ensure the ship is safe and ready to disembark at a moment’s notice. Now that you have your treasure, you have to sell it. No big deal right? Tell that to your crew as you try to navigate your way through storms and protect your treasure from other looters!
