What is Woodoku?

 

Woodoku is a wood block puzzle game published by Tripledot Studios Limited. Famous for been simple, addictive, free to play and a brain teaser. We shall see if all that is true or not in this Woodoku Review.

Woodoku's Tutorial

With a record time of less than 15 sec, Woodoku’s has one of the shortest tutorial in mobile game. I like that they explain the game in a straightforward way like this.

The instructions are easy enough to understand. However I feel that the tutorial should also include restricted action such as undo, rotate a form or change the set of form. 

Tutorial for Woodoku

How is Woodoku's Gameplay Mechanics?

Woodoku takes the Sudoku board meaning a 9×9 grid and instead of number you will have to fill it with wooden blocks. Either you complete a horizontally line or vertically line or completing a block of 3×3, same as in Sudoku.

You have 3 different geometric forms and you need to place them in the 9×9 board with no time limit. Each time you finish placing the 3 forms, you will obtain 3 new random forms again. So either you manage to complete the blocks or free space for the next 3 forms else you lose it’s game over.

What is the trick to winning Woodoku?

A simple trick is to focus on completing a Line instead trying to make the whole board look pretty. Another trick is to use the corner as much as possible. Check in this video how i solved Woodoku daily quest quickly. 

Does Woodoku has any Social Features?

No, Woodoku has no social features such as chat or guilds where you can compare or even challenge other people. It’s a solo game where you break your own Highscore.

Woodoku's Graphics and Art Style

While little or nearly no one really cares about the graphic of such a simple game. Woodoku manage to impress with a clean 2D and 3D art. 

The wooden theme seems to much perfectly with the game’s name. You can easily differentiate the forms and board as they uses a good way to contrast dark brown from a light brown.

2D and 3D graphic of woodoku

Music and Sound effect of Woodoku

Accept it, the game was design to be without music . You can either listen to your favorite music while playing or simply enjoy the silence.

Simple but memorable, I can always tell if someone is playing Woodoku nearby providing the sound is on and that the person is not wearing any headset.

Is Woodoku Free to Play?

Yes, Woodoku is a really free to play game. No cash shop or any type of monetization present in the game which is very rare in mobile games today.

For once there will be no discussion between Free to Play and Pay to win. So enjoy a classic game without any pesky Cash shop.

How is Woodoku's End Game and Future Prospects?

For those who don’t know Woodoku has been here since Mar 25, 2020. During 3 years this game been in the top 100 of mobile games. That’s a big achievement for a small game.

The events “Journey” can motivate passionate player to grab all achievement badge, thus making them stay for a longer period of time.

To be Honest things can get boring quickly. But that’s the limitation of a simple and we should accept it. The game was made to have a little fun and that’s it, so no end game in Woodoku?

Completed level in Woodoku

Section 7: Does Woodoku have ads?

Yes, Woodoku does have ads that will pop up after you win or lose a match. Duration of the ads are between 5 to 15 seconds before can skip it. 

I admit it that ads are annoying specially when you didn’t choose to watch one. Not only it ruins your concentration but also hearing music after long silent game is not pleasant at all.

The best way to deal with those ads is to turn off the Wifi or Data. So goodbye annoying ads but also goodbye important call or mail. So you should consider what’s best for you. Yes Woodoku can be played Offline. 

Section 7: Should you play Woodoku?

Yes, definitely, If you like to do some light brain exercise and looking for a simple game to switch your attention for some minutes or simply a game with no energy system and completely free to play.

Now, are the Woodoku Review in play store and app store Real or Fake? I think they are Real. What do you think about it, how about sharing your point of view and experience below.

Should you play Raid: Shadow Legends?

Yes, If you enjoy strategic turn-based combat, team-building, and character progression, Raid: Shadow Legends offers those options to satisfy those interests. The diverse roster of champions, each with their unique abilities and playstyles, allows for strategic depth and customization.

However i find the game a bit too greedy on a bit of everything. It requires a lot of space and a good phone to run as it’s best. Demands a lot of your time and dedication to reach even the mid game. The ads of in-game purchases pops too much in your face for every simple achievement you accomplished.

Overall, if you enjoy RPGs, team-based gameplay, and are willing to play despite the potential monetization aspects, Raid: Shadow Legends can provide hours of enjoyment and a sense of progression. But requires a lot of patience and perseverance from a new player who going to play it without spending as a real challenge.

Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess Review 2023

Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess

REVIEW

First Released Sep 21, 2019

MUJOY GAMES has been working hard for their only title "Idle Angels: Realm of goddess" which has been here for several years now.

Google Playstore has been showing me Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess for quite a long time which i was ignoring due to a lack of interest in idle games. However, to see an idle game still running after all multiple years where so games have shutdown in less than a year, is incredible. It make me wonder how did this game stood up against so many giants and why are they still here?

What is Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess?

Idle angel is a Collection Idle RPG game where you collect different waifu, upgrade them to fight waves of enemies and bosses. The game is in 2D with animated characters which make things more interesting( for those of you who know what i mean…). The game obviously use the theme of angels, demons and goddesses which give a huge variety of unique illustrations.

Does Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess have fan service?

Yes, yes, yes(reference to jojo), however Idle Angels cleverly block their gallery(skins) behind certain requirements that will force to play the game to achieve. You will need to be at a level 20 account to unlock the fashion(gallery). Fashion is where you can view or preview the skins of your characters that you have obtained in summoning.

Idle Angels:Realm of Goddess's Fashion

However skins require some specific tickets that you will need to farm daily and some are only available via cash shop. It’s a bit disappointing to see only a grey and motionless illustration of your waifu and same goes for the skins. Sadly skins with the most fan service are obviously the higher rarity character which is not available early on.

Idle games

For those who may ask why i starts the review with fan service instead of the gameplay itself? Before i answer this question, i would like to mention 2 important point concerning idle games. First an idle game is a type of game with little interaction from the player as most things are automated.

Secondly in order to compensate for the lack of gameplay, idle game will capitalize on either beautiful illustrations or some fancy animation. Idle games offer some of the best quality of life in the mobile gaming world. So remember you will be watching your phone most of the time and will act more as a manager.

What is the Story of Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess?

Idle angels as the title says is an Idle Collection RPG with the theme of divinity. Strangely despite the game title, the main character is neither an angel nor a goddess. She’s a human chosen by the goddess and seems unhappy about her duties. The story revolves about her being drag around the world to fight evil.

Tutorial

Idle angels gives a simple tutorial but with the annoying tap here else you won’t be able to do anything. It then leaves you on your own to discover every single red dot blinking on your screen. Each time you unlock something new, a little tutorial will pop up. Better have something than nothing at all when you compare some games that don’t even bother explaining anything.

How is the gameplay of Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess?

Battle feels a bit of Pokemon except your unit will use the auto attack when your is skill cool down. It’s a turn base mechanics as the enemies will hit you back if you didn’t kill it during your turn. Once you clear the stage, you will move to the next one until you meet the boss. Killing the boss will get you to the next location where you will repeat this process until your team is defeated.

Don’t worry you won’t lose experience or need to wait for your goddess to recover. Instead you will have to upgrade your goddess or leave the game so that you can collect idle resources for upgrade. This is where the idle part of the game kicks in, resources will depend on how much time you have been idle and what stage your currently stuck in the story. You can also do quick claims to obtain 2 hours of idling for free daily.

Upgrade

Updrade in idle angels: Realm of Goddess

Now that you have obtain a bunch of resources, what do you do with them. Well some of them will be used to level your goddess, some for crafting and leveling gear and some would be for later use. Speaking about resources, you have so many different of them. Making it difficult to manage after a while. Even summon scrolls have different rarity, skins also in the same boat, now imagine you add the event currency n top of that.

Summoning

Let’s leave that resources management and let’s go into the summoning section of the game. As hinted previously, summon banner have different rarity. Ranging to R to SSR, they separated each rarity in different banner which is locked behind level. I understand in order to avoid game breaking units to mess up the beginners progression, they decided to locked the best units behind a certain level requirement.

But i think it’s not a good thing to lock the SSR units like this, as many people rerolls to get those units in gacha games. Having to wait 1 or 2 week of progress to reach a chance to pull for them is bad in terms of gacha perspective. Many people leave a game forever after the first day of playing. So losing player so early on because of some lazyness .Banners will give either fragment or the goddess itself. Again due to the lack of lower grade unit, they are using a fragment system to increase the lifespan of their game.

I personally don’t like this method specially when money is involve in it, imagine buying a car and they give you part of other car with it. And you need to pay more in order to have a chance to complete your car. Worst part is they lower the number of fragment obtained depending on the rarity and increase the number of fragment needed to complete SSR units

Ads are everywhere in Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess, fortunately they are either ads of the games or ads that you decide to watch to obtain additional rewards. It’s cool that i can decide to watch ads or skip it today, too many game takes that freedom from you.

Graphic

Up to now, idle angels have not show anything special that would answer our question. Yet they can always redeem themselves on the graphics and illustrations. As for graphic, the is only in 2D, no special animation on skills or units. All that is left are the illustrations, that’s where the game budget went in.

Fanservice

All illustrations in this game has some kind of fanservice, the default skin doesn’t show much. Whereas the skins are stripped version of the characters for some obvious fanservice. The units are in a very suggestive pose which will let your adult imagination understand what they intended to show. Beside that illustrations colourful and fully animated which add even more bouncy effects on certain part of their body.

Idle Angels:Realm of Goddess fanservice

 While most of those skins can be obtained with some patience as f2p. The most sensual skins are hidden behind pay walls, to see more you will have to pay. I think i get an idea how they manage to obtain the fund to continue running Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess. But don’t despair as you can always see the units and skins as an enemy and see the animation.

Monetization

Monetization of idle angels is one of the worst. Not only the game confuse you will a large number of in game currency. Each of them having their own packages with varying prices. But that’s the real issue, the cash shop is too large, you easily get lost track what you came to buy in the first place. This indicates you can easily get tricked into buying the wrong package.

Also this show, how much predatory the game can get. From VIP, multiple pass, limited packages and let’s not forget about events. Event is the twin of the cash shop, they pair so well together that’s impossible to complete any event without it. Even the beginner event is not possible to complete without buying something in the cash shop.

One of the worst cash shop i have ever seen. The shop feels like a bazaar with hidden corners and secret shops that keeps popping the more your account advance. Each selling a different in game currency or resources that some are locked behind account level. Basically you can get tricked into buying something that you cannot use yet. Battle pass over battle pass, VIP, cash only events, cash only skins and the list goes on. This is the definition of being a real noob trap and feels predatory.

Is Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess worth playing?

Overall i think Idle Angels is an ok idle game with some trick up it’s sleeve. It’s a big No, i don’t recommend anyone to play it. Why? Simply because the game lacks a way to show your progression. No evolving units, no awakening that will change your units appearance. Instead they add even more resources for you to farm to add more accessories on your character as a Christmas tree.

Let’s not forget about the dozen of red light that blinks everytime you log into the game. Plus the ads of time limited packages that is forced into your face for the events. Also the dozen of resources to keep track make it difficult to manage. In the end all i see are negative points, sorry for fans but i didn’t enjoy my play through of Idle Angels: Realm of goddess at all.

It’s a big disappointment for me as i expected so much more from this old idle rpg. In the end the only thing keeping this game alive is fan service and an aggressive cash shop. Let me know what you think about Idle Angels: Realm of Goddess in the comments. As usual i will see you in the next game review, thank you for reading.

Yes, the game is totally free and offers the new player a huge amount of freebies including VIP points and free SSR unit. No real paywall in that prevent you from progressing slowly as f2p.

Yes the game is very Pay to Win, a big cash shop including VIP, Battle pass, event pass, paid skins and limited time package. If you want to compete to be number 1 in events and have all the skins, cash shop is the only way.

No, i don’t think so there are many other game with way more fan service and showing much more than Idle angels is showing.
