Good afternoon steemian, hope the days are fun can we use with positive things. On this sunny day I will review an ever-released game for the Xbox 360 console, PlayStation 3, and PC, Life Is Strange which is now present for mobile devices especially iOS.

Following the success of Telltales Games throws The Walking Dead video game for iOS mobile device, Square Enix also does not want to lose. Evidenced by the presence of Life is Strange as the first mobile game that offers interactive experience.

On December 15, 2017 Square Enix released Life is Strange mobile version for iOS device. This mobile version is no longer handled by developer Dontnod Entertainment, but the developer of Black Wing Foundation. Unlike other mobile games that focus much on the action side, Life is Strange Mobile actually more highlight the power of the story. Simple control mechanisms make Life's Strange mobile version playing experience much easier and fun as it can be felt anywhere and anytime.

Life is Strange revolves around the life of the protagonist Maxine Caulfield, an 18-year-old girl who was studying after receiving a scholarship at Blackwell Academy, her childhood campus in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. Max was lucky to get a scholarship to continue his studies to pursue the field of photography.

In the middle of his studies, Max experienced a surprising event that sparked his supernatural power to manipulate time and return to the past. Somehow Max could learn how to control his strength quickly, rather unimpressed. Max's reversible range of time in the gameplay is not too far, but in some scenes beyond the player's control, he can step back a long way.

In his journey, Max has to deal with some of the mysteries that haunt him and as if his power is the answer to the mystery. One of the mysteries Max will face is the disappearance of the mysterious Blackwell campus primate, Rachel Amber. The next mystery is the occurrence of a huge tornado that hit Arcadia Bay that he saw before getting his strength.

If you've ever played video games like Heavy Rain or The Walking Dead, then you can say Life is Strange mobile version is a combination of both. The game control mechanism is almost similar to the Quantic Dream video game with the game's graphic episodic style of Telltale Games. The moment to use the power of manipulating the time by Max will appear in certain scenes marked by the appearance of the notification on the screen. Any consequences of a change of action from Max will have an effect on the next story line.

The packaging of the story in Life is Strange is very good at arranging the story-bending flow, where players will be faced with difficult situations in making a decision. Life is not always perfect, it seems that it is trying to be delivered in Life is Strange. Munkin when Max can rewind time and choose the actions he thinks are right to save himself and others. Consequently, Max's health became worse.

Although it shows the same scene repeatedly each time using the power of Max. You will not feel bored or bored when you see it. But do not worry if you are lazy to see the recurring scene, because there are features skip dialogue or scenes that you think boring.

GRAPHIC

Life is Strange mobile version is still using visual storytelling with comic cartoon style. This type of visual retrieval successfully brings the coolness of the campus environment in the US that may be for some gamers a nostalgic experience during college. The typical selection of characters in this game includes quite cliche. There is a student with a big body who likes to bully other students who are considered cupu, there is a showman because his parents are people of the rich, there is a geek who gadget freak, and there are students from a respected family who end up always entangled problem .

Since this is a mobile version, the quality of the graphics presented is not as maximal as the PC version. There are some elements that seem to be trimmed to match the capabilities of a smartphone. However, the image quality of Life is Strange mobile version is still in good enough category.

FEATURES

The power of the story and simple gameplay will obviously make gamers will be curious to explore each option with different consequences. These features are the added value offered in Life is Strange mobile version. For gamers who belong to the race "curiosity spirits" would be really hard to guns watch all the existing alternative endings. Not to mention the added collectible items scattered throughout the game that will take time playing gamers. There are many objects and locations that Max has to photograph to complement the still-locked photo slot in his journal book.

Life is Strange can get rid of the campus world feeling for you veteran gamers, or maybe it's a little picture of how it feels to be a student on an American campus. Life is Strange World filled with mystery but still with a charming comic graphic style is quite worth visiting. The execution of telling the story of Max with all the consequences that await him will not wait for you to play the next episode.
