When there’s nothing to do, the crew and I play different games, and one of them is Connect Four. This reminded of this game called 4 in a Row from Quarzo Apps that I will share with ye. Avast ye and let’s begin with the review.
Simple Graphics
The graphics of the game is very simple. Every game level has a colored board and two sets of circles that have different colors like blue and red, or yellow and red. This works for the game as it doesn’t really require other designs. This is also how the game that it was based from look like. It comes with a board and different colors of circles, although in some games, the circles have characters printed on them. This could be a good addition to the game.
Classic Game
The game is nostalgic, especially for those who have played the classic game Connect Four before. It works exactly like the said game, only that this one is played on the mobile device. Even if you have not experienced playing the classic game before, it will not be difficult to learn its gameplay as it is pretty basic. You have to connect four of the circles that you have, while preventing your opponent from connecting his four circles on the board.
It’s Multiplayer
One of the good things about this game is that it comes with an option to play with friends and computer or AI. If you have friends with you, it can be more fun and competitive to play against them. If no friend is around, that will also not be a problem as you can still play using the AI option. The AI option has different skill level so depending on your own skills, you can choose an AI opponent that will be a perfect match for you.
Casual Board Game That Can Get Boring
This is a casual board game that you can play anytime. If you don’t have anything to do or you are looking for ways to kill time either by yourself or with your friend, this app will keep you occupied. However, since you do the same thing over and over, you may find it boring after some time.
Thumbs Up
If you like the classic board game of Connect Four, you will love this app because it is exactly the same as the said game. You will feel nostalgic playing the game because it will remind you of it. It’s easy to understand so those who haven’t played it before will easily learn how to play it. You can play with friends or with AI.
Thumbs Down
The only downside is that it can get boring in the long run since there is really nothing new to look forward to. You will just keep on playing the same game with no other twist.
The Verdict
If you are looking for an app to kill time or you love the classic game Connect Four, it’s recommended that you try 4 in a Row. It’s simple to learn, has the right amount of challenge, and free to download.
