Before the ‘Temple of Doom Cannons’ updates rolled out on May 6, a set of updates were also taken on by the freemium mobile strategy video game “Boom Beach” that Finnish game developer Supercell has referred to as the new hope for victory screen enthusiasts.
That set of updates came with major improvements and new additions to the visuals of the game including a victory screen, new unit models, and a couple of info screen pop-ups, details the Day Herald.
It also brought forth extra animations and improved legibility, much to the delight of gamers who have practically made “Boom Beach” part of their daily lives.
And typical with updates, it also came with basic bug fixes and optimizations to the freemium mobile strategy video game.
Popular strategy game
A strategy game that combines attacks on other players with attacks against computer-based bases, “Boom Beach” is set in a tropical archipelago with the player situated on an island with deferences and troops.
The gameplay is somewhat similar to Supercell’s equally popular mobile video game, “Clash of Clans.”
Players can build their base, upgraded their defences, put up buildings, and unlock troop upgrades. The game also includes a single player campaign and the ability to attack other players in a multiplayer mode.
Indicating how impressive and widely received “Boom Beach” has become among mobile video gamers, it is actually a Top 10 game in 22 countries when it was launched in March last year.
The game pits the player against an enemy known as “The Blackguard” who is often represented by Lt. Hammerman.
In addition to the main aspect of the game, “Boom Beach” also comes in a cooperative gameplay where players gather intel by surviving or ordering attacks or by rewards. They can then use this intel to attack other bases.
On April 24, “Boom Beach” also took on some updates that include re-balancing feature which did not suit well with most gamers.
With the re-balancing feature, the player’s defensive statue boost time has been decreased considerably, freed Kual villages produces less gold, and player base resources are now smaller. In other words, the game has been made more difficult and challenging now for mobile video gamers.
Supercell explained that the idea behind the re-balancing is to restore balance in the in-game economy of “Boom Beach.”
A successful raid on an enemy base usually results in some plundered loot. But now, there’s a Bonus Loot system which is a minimum baseline reward that is meant to ensure that attacking players always get the bounty from a raid. Bonus Loot does not come out of another player’s coffers but it is generated out of thin air or a gift from “Boom Beach” itself.
My boom each account has been locked up with a update screen for two days any way to open
Never mind…my silly fiancé uses my account and apparently needs some technical instruction….problem fixed.
I don’t like the latest update. It has made the weapons look cartoonish at higher level and I don’t like not being able to see my sub at the dive site and how much more time it will be before it returns.
