With version 2, Polytopia now makes more sense for iPad as well. But new and unique tribes with their own tech and distinct units shook things up further and the game’s relatively intuitive nature made it a good fit for iPhone. And the speedrun mode forced very different tactics from Civilization. It always looked different, with its low-poly visuals.
However, Polytopia soon gained its own personality. The winner is the tribe with the highest score after 30 turns – or who unsportingly kills everyone else. By making good use of resources, you can research new technologies, thereby unlocking more powerful units. You get an isometric world and attempt to dominate in a turn-based manner. Initially, The Battle of Polytopia (originally Super Tribes) was akin to a stripped-back early entry in the classic Civilization series. You can also pay to unlock sections of the game if you’ve not yet found all the collectables required to proceed. IAPs: The £4.99/$4.99 premium option removes ads that occasionally appear. Combine that with a slew of secrets, plenty of variety (underwater sections a level set on a speeding train), and you’ve one of the finest mobile platforms you’re ever likely to see. But Super Cat Tales 2 revels in its perceived limitations, offering levels that require clever choreography to crack. The system is tricky to grasp at first, and you might initially hanker for a jump button.
Two thumbs are also all you need to clamber up vertical surfaces, wall jump, and obliterate enemies using giant yellow tanks they’ve carelessly left lying about the place. Double-tap to start running, and automatically leap on reaching a platform’s edge. Hold the left or right side of the screen to head in that direction. Super Cat Tales 2 sidesteps all this by streamlining the entire control system to two buttons.Īs you belt through the game’s vibrant world, you grip your iPad with two hands. Given the difference in size between an iPad mini and the largest iPad Pro, on-screen controls only tend to work on all iPads if they’re fully configurable (rare) or you have banana fingers (hopefully more rare). Platform games on the iPad are something of a mixed bag, mostly because they tend to be so difficult to control.
