Android games have finally reached the point that they feel real, not like cheap knock-offs or incomplete projects. Metro: 2033 is one of these games and is great fun. I highly recommend it. I'd been keeping my eye on it for awhile and, since they got rid of IAP and advertisements, I took the plunge (I don't do consumable IAP or watch ads\commercials). I'm happy they did as I find the game a lot more fun than I though it'd be. The screenshots don't reflect how the game actually plays. It can be hard at times, but there is always a solution. I did take off one star for lack of documentation, though. I'm new to the genre and this game is far from a proper introduction.
It could have been great but sadly it fails. Badly. The game starts fine but within turns you're overrun by endless waves of enemy. Your team doesn't level up fast enough and your best fighters are no match for what comes for you. It makes it a horribly unplayable game and what's worse, I have gathered my stats for a while and the in game mechanics must be wrong somehow. An 80% chance to hit is more like 50% and 50% is more like 30%. What a real shame.
This is a fun but challenging game. I certainly feel that it is well worth the money. I would definitely like a difficulty slider - even on my fourth start I'm getting hammered by higher level enemies (I have one squad high enough, but they can't be everywhere). The story driven nature means I'm probably going to be repeating the start again. A sandbox mode with random generation would probably give this a huge replay boost, since the mechanics are pretty solid. It does have that magic touch of making me want to do just... one... more... turn.
This game is one of the first mobile games I've found that plays like a real game instead of a mobile casual mindless waste. There are bugs that prevent 5 stars though: I can't change/upgrade buildings in some conquered stations. Good game, will be great if ever updated again.
I'm on day 400ish and It wants me to take a red line station.... well, I can't even get to a red line station or through hanse, polis, third reich. Confused on where I went wrong... I did reject the hanse mission for three plants purely because that station had already been whiped by mutants... what exactly do I need to do to get through the 4 main factions??
It's difficult, probably a little too so for some judging by the reviews. But has good atmosphere. OK, slight edit after a week, some bugs especially in retreat into a station not owned by the player. And I'm damned if I can figure out how to win after I have found all the scientists.
I LOVE this game. It feels like a proper game. But the game isnt free of problems. Some are small but one, one is a very BIG problem. No sandbox mode! You give me all this open world management stuff but not let me mess around in it?! How could you!? But seriously, I would love a sandbox mode. Let us pick a start, an icon, pick alliances and other such stuff. The game is still great tho.
As my description says this game is great but needs balancing. Having previous versions where you bought things or watched ads (those pop-ups appear still in game if you try to overspend) for bullets set a balance that a fully paid and no microtransactions model can't meet. I love that it is one price but maybe ramp up bullet producing facilities, a difficulty slider, or something to make it not near as long to achieve what you could in previous versions. It throws the pacing off a bit imho.
Well... Im pretty early into my playthrough (after beating doctor plant man or whatever) and I was really into it, I had a whole bunch of resources when some creatures attacked the plant-station. They were represented by level 6 rats (said the game) and a fauna. Childs play I thought as I dispatched my 2 machine gunners backed up by other melee units. When I got into the battle every single creature had 267 health and the flora enemy was a mercenary unit. Unacceptable. They butchered me. Every station gone
Tapstar interactive has crafted a very well done game, their ability to respond to what the fans want is amazing and the game is a very fun mobile challenge that perfectly matches the Metro atmosphere that we come to expect from the games and books. A potential future improvement that I would suggest is to adopt a new soundtrack similar to that of the Metro video games to get the full feeling of immersion, but otherwise fantastic game that I'm glad I've stuck with!
Needs a bit of balancing, bandit gang has over 30 squads! Took a while but the game finally has a new update. Devs took the noble step of balancing the game to a more premium and less IAP level. All trace of micortransactions have been removed, including the video for ammo system. Income and upkeep have been adjusted to reasonable levels. Best of all im not getting attacked every 2 turns by enemies twice my level out of the blue!!! Thanks for the update devs, this is truly a worthy game!
Raiders from the surface 1 shot most my people before i get an attacking turn. Enemies are 3 to 8 levels higher then you. And they get first shot. Want a refund for this broken game.
As soon as I saw metro 2033 I knew I had to have this game. It doesn't disappoint.
This game is fantastic, let alone being a mobile game. Anyone who complains they can't get good games on mobile needs to buy this game and break that trend.
Purchased immediately upon hearing about ads and iap being removed. Had been passing it by since it released. Great job lisening to your playerbase.
It says you can earn more ammo watching ads but that feature doesn't work. I would even be willing to pay to be able to get more ammo but do not find a pay to play function.
The cartoonish characters kind of ruin the atmosphere the real game brings. There was never a werid monk dude with a pony tail and katana in the game. Keep the art based to the game.
It's been awhile since I played a game on my phone I already loved the metro games and the book so I just had to and now I'm addicted.
it's great, but it's sort of hard too side with factions opposite of the metro, would be nice if we could choose a selected bunker near other factions
No active support. Modified from the freemium version but still tells you to buy coins. Game is designed to make you buy hero's and coin but that should have been changed when they made a paid version.
At first this was a decent game, but with the big fixes, improved dialogues, and explanations of upgrades makes this less daunting to new and old players. Now that key missions can be completed and it's easier to grasp the upgrade structure, playing is massively improved. Grab your military grade rounds and prepare for a MUCH better metro rts experience.
