Super Hexagon: patience is the virtue of the strong [review]

Play video in Android, one of the most popular genres are surely the Endless Game, that sort of games where the action doesn't stop until we will lose the match. The only reason that impels us to play (in addition to fun) is to increase our score, day after day, then show results to our friends with a smile that reminds us a bit that Batman's Joker.

The particularity of these games is the increasing difficulty: it starts at a very slow pace, almost relaxing, until you get a wildest rhythms and fast but not impossible, where power-ups and items will help us overcome most of the difficulties (not to mention in-app purchases).

Forget all this with Super Hexagon: no power-ups, no pick-ups, maximum difficulty: a real challenge against your brain but, above all, against your patience!

REASONING IN HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND

The use of the brain is one of the most important factors in the Puzzle Game. The success of this type of games lies in being able to think, reflect, program the player, causing him to reason to overcome certain difficulties, often without time limits.

Super Hexagon requires high concentration, comparable to games of yesteryear, where aspects such as graphics and sound were not important: one had to be skillful and careful players. And that is what requires Super Hexagon, a player with excellent reflexes that improves by playing in the match, until you reach the goals that he himself stands out.

There are no errors, the game does not forgive us. The whole thing is topped off with a positive sense of frustration, which with the right touch will give us the strength to continue and improve.

A FIX PUNISHMENT BUT RIGHT

The concept is very simple: wear the shoes of a small triangle that, by pressing the touch screen, will move to the left or right within the game board. The latter will not ever stop, but will have a continuous and random motion that will bring along your triangle, disturbing the gaming action. Aim of the game is to avoid the kind of geometric forms that will flow on the bridge. The difficulty lies in a few areas, in small cracks that can ensure salvation.

Although the concept may seem a bit trivial, we can assure you that it is not at all: the pace of the game is fast-paced, adrenaline pump music a thousand and the gratification that causes a single second of survival in this game is comparable to a killing spree of any shooter on the market.

L # & 8217; unique, small neo resides in controls. Unfortunately, the triangle is a bit "slippery", too sensitive, not just immediately as expected. This is definitely a choice of game design, in our view entirely moot.

THE GRAPHICS/SOUND PAIR

The graphic style of Super Hexagon is essential with psychedelic colors and basic geometric shapes. No graphics or special effects super pumped, but a simple style that marries well with the gameplay. It must be said that even after the short sections of the game, the colors and various figures spinning there will lead to slight headaches. This varies from person to person, but are advised to take breaks after a few games to avoid these little illness.

The music in Super Hexagon are simply fantastic, each our movement is perfectly amalgherà with the techno music of the game. Even if you are a fan of this genre, you are assured that you will learn to love them thanks to Super Hexagon and its hectic pace of play.  Play with audio is a must, without it the title it loses a lot.

AN INFINITE LONGEVITY, AS LONG AS YOU WANT

Longevity will depend only on yourself. The game offers 6 different types of difficulties (of which only 3 unlockable if you can survive long enough in the first 3 levels of difficulty), starting with the difficult until you reach levels (almost) impossible. It's up to you to choose whether to continue the game and if you want to improve. A single second more survival than the previous game is already a huge milestone. If you gratificherete for scoring margin so slight, the game will remain in your mobile phone for so long. There we highlight that despite the Endless nature of the title, Super Hexagon can be completed by reaching certain scores in various levels. On this there sbilanciamo, we leave you the surprise ending!

There is also the # & 8217; portability. Super Hexagon is great for playing short sections (in some cases too short), in fact a lot media won't last more than 10 seconds, although this factor is determined solely by your ability. The game, however, forces us to have a level of concentration that it cannot assess Super Hexagon as a pastime, considering the lack of an easy or medium difficulty.  Every game needs a lot of patience, so we start Super Hexagon if you are nervous or just if you're not particularly concentrated.

A & # 8217; RESPECTABLE GAMING OFFER

The game is sold on Play Store in 2,32€, a pretty fair price considering the overall gaming offer. Unfortunately there is no trace of a Lite version so if you want to try the game you have to necessarily buy the full version. We recommend watching some Gameplay before purchasing. Also the game is present in # & 8217; Humble Android 5 Bundle, along with other interesting titles.

CONCLUSION

Super Hexagon is not a game for everyone. Is estremamentand difficult, to such an extent as to be too frustrating in the eyes of any average player these days. Therefore, we consider Super Hexagon as a puzzle game that will be appreciated by a few, a niche game, which will be able to satisfy at best only that kind of users thanks to a fix Yes, but pretty darn rewarding punitive.

Therefore, we advise Super Hexagon to all players, particularly to those who seek a read pastime. The title is a real challenge: who will seize it they will remain extremely satisfied, for everyone else recommend before watching the trailer and then maybe a possible purchase.
