![]() ![]() It’s not the typical build and battle fare, though each player’s base is actually a mini-map in and of itself, meaning invaders need to battle their way past bots you leave to defend certain nodes. Some of the bots just turn into cars or trucks and ram their opponents when you do a heavy attack, but others can fire projectiles across the screen, and the alternate modes come into play for some of the game’s most creative special moves as well.Īlong with the expected story mode - which really does have a lot of story and a logical explanation for why the game features Autobots and Decepticons working together on your squad and a reason for Forged to Fight to draw from all the different Transformers properties - arena mode and daily missions, there’s a base building and raiding element too. It doesn’t feel like a huge deal at first, but it opens the combat up a little more to make it feel less samey over time, plus it’s just a cool acknowledgment of the idea that Transformers don’t just slug it out hand to hand.Īn ongoing issue with any Transformers video game is how to make it feel like their alternate modes are worthwhile in a fight, and Forged to Fight mostly does a good job with that too. It’s also possible to sidestep incoming fire by swiping up or down on the left side of the screen. If you dash away from your opponent, your Transformer will whip out a gun or other ranged weapon and fire away when you tap on the right. What’s new is that the graphics are in 3D, as is the action. The basic controls are the same as in the Marvel title, with taps and swipes on the right side of the screen for different kinds of attacks and blocks and dashes on the left. This is definitely still a fighting game at heart and the gameplay focuses on one-on-one showdowns between two Transformers. Happily, Forged to Fight shows off several different dimensions in both the literal and figurative senses of the word. That last part is important because Kabam (now part of Netmarble) could have coasted and simply reskinned Contest of Champions with robots instead of superheroes. Since Kabam has Marvel Contest of Champions to prove it can do a great mobile fighting game, why not revisit that idea with a different but still very popular IP? Transformers: Forged to Fight is a logical step forward, taking what worked so well about the Marvel game and adding in enough new features to make it something legitimately new. There’s nothing wrong with sticking to an area where you’ve already found proven success. Currency system is needlessly complicated.Įxpect some slowdown and loading waits on older devices.
