League of Evil is one of those rare, 8bit platformers that don’t suck. In fact it’s probably one of the best such games in the App Store, and no, they’re not paying me to write that (yet;)). The whole appeal of this game can be pinpointed to simple, yet addictive gameplay (which actually works that way with every good game) and a GREAT set of controls. They’re onscreen, which usually ruins the fun, but here they’re super-responsive and after a while of getting used to them the gameplay just flows flawlessly. Seriously – think of a touch-controlled game in which you don’t do unintended things. The graphics are pretty good too – 8bit, simple, but beautiful at the same time. Gotta warn you though – the people you kill in this game (soliders and evil scientists) explode into a pile of blood, guts and gore. Sure it’s just a few red pixels but the imagination adds a lot to that. So yeah, it’s a brutal game, but isn’t life that way?
The levels are pretty simple and quite short, but the goal is to be quick – you get more points for speed, pretty much like Keanu Reeves in that one movie about speed. You know which one I’m talking about. Yeah, the Matrix!
Your mission is simple – get to the evil scientist, kill him and find a briefcase with his evil plans and the world will be saved again. Bruce Willis was on vacation so they chose you. Yeah, lucky you. So instead of working, you can be sitting in the corporation toilet for half an hour saving the world. Pretty neat huh? It’s addictive enough to be time-consuming, and simple enough to play “just one level at a time” every now and then (especially at work). Games like LoE are to blame for the decreasing amount of work being done in the workplace. But we do save worlds on the other hand so I guess we’re ok.
