GSR Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Maybe I missed this, but a new Bionicle game for iOS was just released on the New Zealand app store: . Most likely it'll go up worldwide as the clock ticks over to January 1st. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't give it a whirl, but anyone who does, care to offer impressions/thoughts?

Looks like that's planned, but I don't see it on Google Play just yet - anyone have a link? Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Nescent Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) It is available in the US App Store, I am downloading it now. Edit: I've been playing it for about ten minutes now, and it's okay. I think of it as a video game version of the Toas' gear function: you run around slamming Skull Spiders 'til you get bored. If you go in expecting MNOG, then you will be sorely disappointed. If you want to see Pohatu dash about smashing hundreds of skulls, then download it! The graphics are not great, but I like them for the most part. The Skull Spiders look nice, and have good animations that resemble the sets. And the Toa, while blurry, look as close to the sets as I had hoped.

Crunchyn Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 TouchGameplay has a bunch of new gameplay videos if you want to see how other Toa play before the game's available. They have separate vids for each Toa as well as the Endless Mode. Quote "I could have been a Protector but then I took a stud to the feet."

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 There are certain disadvantages for not getting any new handhelds devices besides a 3DS for over five plus years. This is one of them. Anyways, I haven't seen a lot of footage on this yet. I probably won't have time to until tomorrow. But going by what I have seen, I think it could be a fun game to play.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Graphics are really nice. Hope it comes to Android soon... and maybe to other mobile devices.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I usually hate games in the app store. They're a waste of time, yet they aren't ever a fun waste of time...except this game.

Legosaurus2094 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Has anyone else noticed the alternate form onua has? All the other characters seem to have the button to change form but they are locked. I don't know if u need to unlock it through gameplay but it's not by completing the main quests with the other toa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Picked it up. It's alright. Easy to control and fun, though not much depth. Customization is cool. Music is great. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Nui Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I like the animations for each character that are shown for when you complete a level, aswell as the music and special abilities. From what I've seen however, the gameplay looks repetitive and I don't see myself playing this for more than an hour, so I may or may not try it. It is nice to see a new Bionicle game though.

FordianL at the BCC Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I got the game yesterday and played through the entire thing in about one hour and thirty minutes. It was fun for some time at the start, and I enjoyed it even after unlocking all of the endless levels. The only thing I would change about it would be the music for the areas of Okoto. They could have used an exclusive soundtrack for each elemental region, but instead used the same song for all of them. Also, the app crashed at least two times when I would go back to the main menu screen.I like the game, and even more because it is Bionicle!

Toa Of Virtues Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The graphics look very good, but it takes up a bit of memory. The gameplay itself isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's amusing for a mobile app. I really like the environment of Okoto, it brings me back to Bionicle Heroes.

ToaDraco Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I got it downloaded last night and I have played through Onua, Lewa and Kopakas' campaigns. It's some good mindless fun. I really like the environments and it is a very good looking game for an app. The more I play it, the more I really want a new Bionicle video game.

In regards to this game, you're not missing out on much. I'd rather just replay Bionicle Heroes on the DS. (Probably my favorite Bionicle video game to be honest) I'd like to see Lego remake and port the flash games to Google play.

Unconquerable Snow Black Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 There needs to be more discussion on this, as far as we know, the Kopaka alternate form is unlocked on android devices and Onuas alternate form (with a tail) is unlocked on iOS. The only official instructions we have on the alternate forms is Tahu from the Lego Club magazine, but some have attempted the Kopaka combiner. 3 Quote Give me bonkles or give me death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look like it used many of the Protector pieces (especially when Tahu's clearly does). -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a close look at the image: Then take a close look at the Kopaka and Protector of Ice sets: When you look at them, you can see that there are several of the Protector of Ice's pieces used on Kopaka's alternate form and some of Kopaka's pieces have been shifted around. For example, you can see that Kopaka's gold shoulder armor has been moved to his forarms and wrists in the alternate model. Then you can see that the Protector of Ice's hands have been moved to Kopaka's upper-arms and those holding his swords, using them as wings. Kopaka's thich white thigh armor has been moved down to his calves and the gold armor from his upper arms has been moved down to his thighs. It looks like some of the Protector's leg armor has been moved to Kopaka's hips. It's not quite as obvious that it's a combiner as Tahu's is since he doesn't have the stud launcher or the Protector's saw/shield, but when you take a close look, I think it's definitely a combiner. - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I downloaded the game on my phone and I've been playing it every so often to pass the time. It's overly simple and repetitive, but is a fun way to spend five to ten minutes here and there. Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The same can also be said for the alternate Onua: Compare the pieces on him to the pieces shown below w/ Onua & the Protector of Earth Alternate Onua has the Protector's chest/shoulder armor on his lower legs. His gold armor that is normally on his legs is now on the side of his thighs. His shoulder armor (or second set of claws) is now on his left hand and the Protector's spiked shoulder armor is now on Onua's left shoulder and next to his head (not sure what the significance of that is). There's a few more things to point out, but the one that stands out the most to me is the Protector's trans-purple weapon is now attached to the back of Onua's hammer. I'm not sure what pieces the tail is made of since I can't see it in this picture, but I think we can safely assume that all of the Toa's alternate forms are true combiners of the Master and Protector sets for each element. - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
