Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards
SCORE: 67
Yolanda has gotten me into the Duck Dynasty TV show. It impressed me so much that I searched for a Duck Dynasty video game. Upon not finding one I wrote an article about how I would like to play a Duck Dynasty video game. A few days later someone pointed out Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards app on the iOS platform. Technically Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards is a game, but not much of one.
We get to play a small amount of micro games in Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards. The micro games in Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards take between one and five seconds to complete. Just like the Warioware games, we can make three mistakes. Unlike Warioware games we keep going until we fail three times. Experience is earned, and so is a form of currency. We can purchase things like catch phrases from four of the bearded men from the show. We can also grow the beard and hair of our very own character.
Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards costs ninety-nine cents, and is about one tenth of normal apps we play at Family Friendly Gaming. There are also in app purchases so Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards acts more like a free app than one we paid for. The balance in Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards is very bad. Hours are spent playing the same micro games just to unlock one of the characters. It takes even longer to level up your character and apply longer beards.
The repetition
and forced replay really annoyed me. The intensity was increased in the
micro games every so many games. That is mainly the speed of the micro
game. I was also confused by a lack of direction on some of these micro
games. What to do with the boxes on the conveyer belt is a good example.
Certain micro games in Duck Dynasty Battle of the Beards require
perfection. Take the shooting of the buck for example - miss and you
lose. You have one shot. Animals are shot and then shown as food in Duck
Dynasty Battle of the Beards. This app let me down.
