Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Avast ye and try not to make any noise as me parrot pet is looking for me and wants to play. I have to finish this review ‘afore it finds me or this old salt won’t be able to share one with ye. Me and the crew had been booty hunting the whole day and me pet was left here in the good old Jolly Roger that’s why it’s excited to play. Let me share with ye now this app me found called Subway Princess Runner by Rioo.
It’s Obviously Inspired by Subway Surfer
If you have played the endless runner app called Subway Surfer before, you will already have an idea the moment that you hear or see this game title because it has the word “subway” and although it’s not “surfer”, the word “runner” will give you a hint that it’s like the said app, which is an endless runner. The obvious similarities don’t end there. The basic gameplay, which is to survive as long as you can, avoiding obstacles while collecting coins is the same. The environment where the game is set is also the same and it’s on a subway. Even the graphics look similar to each other. It’s free to play although there are advertisements and in-app purchase.
Vibrant Graphics
As mentioned, the graphics look a lot like the game Subway Surfer. The game is set on a subway, although the difference is that it’s a snowy subway in this app. This is perfect for the holiday season. There are different characters to choose from, and there are trains and various obstacles to avoid while on the run.
Controls Work
The controls for the game work properly. However, other players reported having problems with the controls after the game update. This doesn’t happen to everyone though and to majority of players, there are no problems with the control.
The Ups
The good thing about this game is that it’s free to download and play. It’s an enjoyable casual game to play and help pass time. The graphics of the app is also vibrant and the snow is perfect for the holiday season.
The Down
There are lots of similarities with the popular endless runner game Subway Surfer. It’s clearly not a fresh game as it got a lot of features from the said app, from its gameplay to the graphics. There are also advertisements, as well as in-app purchases, although it’s still up to the players if they will choose to make a purchase and use real money for this.
The Verdict
If you love endless runners and you don’t mind having a game that is almost the same as the others like Subway Surfer, you may try this game especially it’s free. However, if you are looking for something fresh, this may not be the best app for you.
