Ahoy there me hearties! Yer app pirate is back from another fantastic adventure from the seven seas. ‘Acourse this bucko didn’t forget bringing something for ye lads and lasses. It’s a great find me got from one of our booty hunting adventure. It’s called Series of Dumb Deaths from Hassan Ali and I will share more about this game in this review. Batten down the hatches as we begin with the review.
It’s Like Dumb Ways to Die
You may have thought of the game Dumb Ways to Die upon hearing the name of this app. The similarity doesn’t stop there as you’ll find that they have a lot of things in common graphic-wise and even with the gameplay. Some say that it’s a copy of the game, and you could see that, but the mini games are different, although the idea is the same behind them. If you have played Dumb Ways to Die before but you are looking for different kinds of mini games to play, this is a good option.
Simple and Neat Graphics
As mentioned, even the graphics will remind you of Dumb Ways to Die. While there are different characters to collect, there are those that also look a lot like the characters in Dumb Ways to Die, like those with teeth sticking out of their mouth. The images are good and they look pleasing. The game looks clean with lively colors making it fun on the eyes.
Easy to Learn But Difficult to Master
You only have a few seconds to complete the mini games or you lose a life if you fail. You might be taken aback and may not know what to do at your first few tries, but since there are only 14 mini games, you’ll surely face them again and you’ll be more prepared. Nevertheless, there are still those that are challenging to complete even if you already know what needs to be done. Part of it might be the time pressure the other is that the game requires focus and control. For a simple and repetitive game, it can be addicting as you’ll find yourself wanting to top your previous score.
The Good
This game is fun, challenging, and free to download. It’s addictive so it’s something that you will find playing repeatedly. It has nice graphics and the game is simple to learn. It’s also familiar so you wouldn’t have difficulties understanding the basic gameplay.
The Bad
It’s not an original concept as it has obvious similarities with the game Dumb Ways to Die. There are different mini games but they are only limited so you’ll be seeing and playing the same ones repeatedly. It would have been better if it gets updates adding more levels in the game.
The Verdict
Series of Dumb Deaths is a casual app that comes with quick to play mini games. It has obvious similarities with the game Dumb Ways to Die, but if you’re into that game and you’re looking for another one that is similar to that, this one is your top choice.
