What Running with Friends is About
There are those that say that Running with Friends is basically a rip-off of Temple Run. In some ways, there are many similarities to it in the sense that you would just run and collect as many coins as possible before meeting your eventual demise and starting over. And yet, there are also quite the differences.
Running with Friends is a social game which means you get to play with other people during the actual game itself. Unlike Temple Run in which all you have are leader boards, this one gives you the chance to get ranked and beat other people playing Running with Friends.
Features of the Game
Running with Friends is loaded with tons of features that will make you have a hard time putting your device down. You have awesome locations that you can play in, filled with lots and lots of coins and bonuses. What makes this game different is that you get to play in city streets with all the hustle and bustle that comes with it, too. At the same time, you need to avoid obstacles and to make matters worse, there are bulls constantly chasing after you! So it is a thrill ride from start to finish!
Controls
Much like the game it is compared with, Running with Friends is controlled by swiping gestures you make on the screen. To move left or right, you simply swipe in the direction you want your character to make. For you to slide, swipe the screen downwards. Then to jump, swipe it upwards. It doesn’t get any easier than that so you can focus on what you need to catch or avoid while playing the game.
What makes Running with Friends great is that you will be able to play against other people, either connecting the app with Facebook and play against your friends, or with other gamers from all over the world. Of course, the objective is to get the highest score possible and run for as long as you can. Since there are many obstacles and things that can get in your way, playing this game is far from boring. Every turn and road will give you something to jump off your seat for!
The Verdict
Running with Friends is a “Freemium” game, which means you can download it for free but there will be in-app purchases that unlocks several features. Of course, you don’t need to buy them in order to enjoy playing this game. This is a title that is guaranteed to give you a new type of addiction like you’ve never had before. Running with Friends is a must-have especially for gamers who love social games.
