Listless tapping and sliding. [July 2013, p.85]

’Gods Among Us’ comes off as more of a companion app for the console version than a stand alone title, and as it hints so tantalizingly at what could’ve been, that’s the real injustice.

Injustice is the most successful attempt at a fighting game on a cellular device that I have seen, but it certainly has its downsides. Simply, the game can get boring very quickly because of the simplicity of the controls and just the sheer volume of fights that are available to you.

I was so surprised back in the days when I found out 'Injustice' was also available on iOS. For free ! I have been playing it on PC for something like fifty hours (and I rated it a 6/10 here on Metacritic). It was a pleasure to witness the two games worked in pair, as unlocking rewards on mobile allows you to unlock other rewards on PC. Graphics are more than decent, the cutscenes are impressive, the story is quite engaging, characters benefits from a great design. The progression is cool as you can improve your favourite characters all along you playthrough. Soundtrack is as awesome as in the base game. The overall atmosphere is amazing. However this simply can't overcome the major flaws of 'Injustice': the mechanics and gameplay of fights are amazingly poor and boring, the impacts of hits are ridiculous, special moves are terrible and the fact that opponent can change his fighters when he wants to is a horrible idea. The controls are more than childish (but at least varied). Who says mobile game says pay-to-win (and I am so tired that things still happen this way these days). So prepare to encounter overpowered noobs. Online matches are a mess. The camera sometimes jerks during the fights making it look uglier and messier. Fun to play for something like two hours and then becomes way too boring and repetitive.

It's a quality game in its own right, one that deserves more attention throughout the year. If you don't have this on your Apple device, you're missing out on something special.

An impressive iOS fighter despite its simplicity. In fact, that simplicity is part of the reason it works so well. Rather than force a bunch of complex control systems into a platform that honestly couldn’t handle it, they went with a much simpler and more accessible method that plays to the device’s strengths.

Injustice is a fight game like "infinity Blade", with characters represented by cards. The experience and the other features increase only with the fights; however, a card game is another thing.

Even with its odd mix of casual fighting and (eventual) hardcore-only challenge, Injustice’s solid action will please the crime-fighting crowd.

Injustice: Gods Among Us attempts to whet the appetite of those waiting for the full console release by offering a 'lite' brawler; in a way it succeeds, but without more depth or complexity it's just a pretty distraction.

Like the home console version of Injustice: Gods Among Us? Want to unlock some trinkets for it and don't mind trudging through a repetitive fighter with minimal skill requirements? Then, this is for you... weirdo.

game has its faults, but i've been playing for a year, now - nonstop.. new survivor and augmentation system is a great bonus for veteran players.. but survivor is too hard too fast and sometimes gives horrible rewards.. they should remove the XP augmentation reward and the miss from the last laugh mini game.. it also needs an option to save three teams, like mortal kombat x.. but like i said, pretty smooth, otherwise.

While the core fighting mechanics are somewhat dull, the rest of the game is engaging with its level-up system and three tag team concept. But downloading Injustice for iOS never becomes essential. Although I imagine the whole unlockables that can be carried to the console version could put people considering buying the game on console an advantage point.

Injustice: Gods Among Us has the potential to be one of the greatest fighting apps ever made. However, even with the creativity in character designs and arenas, there is nothing to really get engaged in. Like most of the DC apps, the game gets repetitive within the first hour of playing, using delays between fights to coerce fans into buying upgrades and boosters. This game is the biggest example of greed hidden in design. Once you reach a certain point in the game, it becomes impossible to win fights simply because of the unfair tiers for the different characters: gold, silver, and bronze. The higher level is significantly better off than the lower ones, and normally too expensive to buy. So, unless you want to repeat the beginning levels for hours to gain coins and eventually buy a useful character, there is really no point to playing this game. Once again, DC ruins a potentially addictive fighter due to their own selfishness. As a fighter, it's fun and the characters each feel unique and stylized. But the game is too repetitive, and too focused on profit over content, to forgive. 5/10

I have been playing this game for the last 4 years and I am anxiously waiting for the next better game from Disney or other competing companies (if any). There is not really much of upgrade that they have made in these years. If you want to really enjoy playing the higher difficult levels of Injustice, it is all about spending money to get better players, gears and upgrades. And once you have done that, you would realize you have wasted your money for nothing. Online games are not real, there are no real players in the network, all of them are computer bots. And you would only realise that as the computer would always beat you at the end, however strong the players or high their gear scores are. There are some design flaws as well. Some characters like the Raven - supposedly she is to "swap" the life of opponent when @ 20% or less but every time she swaps she takes out the entire life of an opponent with 70-80K health even if her character has just 20-25K health. Isnt that ridiculous ? Apparently, Disney got confused with the meaning of swapping. Similar flaws with Killer Frost which frosts you on every blow. And obviously most of the highest difficulty levels, you are playing the Raven plus Killer Frost.
SummaryBuild an epic roster of DC heroes and villains and get ready for battle in the INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US mobile game from NetherRealm Studios. INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US is a free to play collectible card game that allows you to build a roster of playable characters, moves and powers and enter the arena in touch based 3 on 3 combat.
