Dan The Man Platformer

Half brick studios is know for such classic titles as jet pack joy ride and fruit ninja the pioneers of the mobile market still going strong but things have changed since my day there’s more ads and micro transactions in movie games than ever so much in fact some games are unplayable but the ogrinal games are pure with fun for half an hour those pick up and play games are childhood and Dan the man will be part of a new generation of mobile gaming fan the man will be one of the best in the gen apart form jet pack 2 due to all of the other games being pay2wins now I know this game has ads and stupid microtransactions but it’s more than usual keep the ads down halfbrick I know you need the money but don’t shove ads in faces DURING GAMEPLAY I haven’t played this game in a few months since I now have a console but my main complaint is ads otherwise this game is pretty solid it can be cringey at times but mostly just fun I like the retro theme of halfbrick games and this is no step down from quality but it isn’t really a step up either I hope in the new multiplayer mode things work out but this game still has its flaws TL;DR cut down on ads old halfbrick is was better but this game is alright

Well first... let me start off by saying, that I used to love this game. Sure, it did have a lot of ads but it still didn’t bother me that much. I got “Dan the man” 4 years ago and worked hard to complete the adventure mode, story mode, and upgrade all the weapons and characters. It was pretty fun! Now I’ll get to the main part: One day I deleted “Dan the man” only for a couple of days. I wasn’t worried about deleting the game because I had done it many times before and when I installed it again, it would restore all my previous data. But this time... something else happened. I got the app back, opened it up, and went to the character selection. That’s when I found out that my characters and weapons weren’t fully upgraded which I thought was strange because before I deleted the game all characters were at level 16 and all weapons were maxed out. After finding out that my characters weren’t level 16, I went to check adventure mode. When I went in to adventure mode... I WAS STILL IN THE BEE ADVENTURE INSTEAD OF THE LINCON ADVENTURE!!! It was very frustrating because I had spent 4 YEARS trying to upgrade everything, beat the game, and get all golden trophies in adventure mode. Halfbrick, if you are reading this review, please help me in anyway possible to regain my data. Thank you for reading this review.

There’s a great deal of fun to be had with Dan the Man. While the premise is simple - fight opponents and clear them out to advance - the formula doesn’t get stale because of the variety of opponents as well as how difficult they get as the game goes on. That, and there’s a surprising amount of depth in the storyline that even tackles mature themes, yet it never loses its retro feel. People might complain about the ads, but to be frank that’s what you should expect from a game that is free to download - the devs have to make money somehow if you’re not gonna pay. I mean, c’mon, you pay the price of a burger value meal to enjoy the majority of the game, and the DLC is reasonably price too. I’ve logged hours on the survival mode alone, and there are some console games I paid 60 bucks for that didn’t give nearly this amount of fun - nor for the same amount of time. Ultimately, I feel people whining about the ads are just too cheap. You pay for what you get, and if you don’t pay then you need to support the devs another way. Ignore the whiners, and give this game a try if you want to play a good platformer to kill time on.
