We’ve all been waiting for it since it was first launched for iOS back in October and, especially, since Netflix launched the series about The Witcher in December. That was probably the moment when the public discovered this amazing story. The Android version of GWENT: The Witcher combines both the storyline of the books and the game’s timelines - so, can it be any better? Clearly, this card deck game deserves to be our Game of the Week!
It’s already a quite well-known title for us all and since its arrival to PC in 2016, it has hit almost every single platform! That’s probably why we were all looking forward for this moment and Behaviour Interactive, the studio behind it, has delivered on time. As promised, Dead by Daylight Mobile arrived to Android on April 16th and it’s a pleasure to officially declare it our Game of the Week.
As in in the version for other platforms, this horror game offers two different roles: survivor or killer. It’s an asynchronous multiplayer game with 4 players involved in each match. Behaviour Interactive was one of the first studios playing around this idea so it’s our duty to give them the credit. As a survivor, you’ll have to escape by activating generators that will open the gates (or just spending enough time alive). As a killer, you’ll have to find the three survivors and kill them: pretty straightforward. In addition, there are lots of unlockables, skills, costumes and characters.
In terms of characters, be ready to not find all the ones that we are used to seeing in the PC version, like the Stranger Things ones, but according to the developers behind Dead by Daylight, this release of the game is just the beginning; they are supposed to work on updates with more characters and scenarios. We’re totally looking forward to that, tbh!
We also have to talk about the graphics. They could be better. We understand you’ve got to adapt these to the specifications of a mobile device, and as a comparison with the PC version this might not be fair... but graphics seem to be a bit rough. Dead by Daylight has always had characteristic graphics that made it unique and helped created an atmosphere of tension and fear. We believe that, if they are to keep their identity, some improvement on graphics would be much appreciated. Our recommendation to compensate the graphics quality and still get into that atmosphere is use good quality headphones and turn up the volume. It actually works quite well!
Although the fans of the PC version might feel slightly disappointed, we are quite happy with the result when looking at it with perspective; this is the mobile version! If you haven’t tried it yet, do it now and let us know what you think in our social media channels.
