QONQR: World in Play

Out of hundreds and hundreds of apps this is my first review. Only because of the outright absurdity. Would not be a bad game. But every 10 seconds and sometimes faster and one after another you have to answer a captcha screen or answer a pop up that’s asks if your a cheater every time you play. I have played for months. No other game does this with 100’s of times the amount of players. And all location based. Users take care of the cheaters with reporting. Unless the game is so poorly written that any 10 year old kid can hack it. Then there is the short game play. You can max out your energy and weapons and still have less then 40 seconds of game play then you wait 15 minutes or more to play again. So I use it as a fill in between real location based games like Ingress. And a few others.

GPS games want you to walk around? Not this one. Conquer (qonqr) your hometown from your home while you do something else. Recruiter name “Hectorivan” for bonus currency This game predates Ingress. And unlike The big companies, you are not the product, you are the customer. Location data is not used to for any advertising product. You choose one of three factions, and try to get the zone from your teams colors. Recent updates to the battle engine make this game more fun. I won’t deceive you, the game has a steep learning curve and deep backstory. There are formations to remember, patterns to figure out, but there is a strong community backing this game. We need you to join it.

The game is pretty fun. There is a decent sized community from the different factions and the game spans the globe. It is fun to play while traveling to fight in new areas and expand your reach into those obscure places. Most large cities/countries have been taken control of, so when starting out choose your faction wisely. I would suggest changing the Map Theme and launch menu to the Basic version in your settings, the game seems to run better that way. There are personal achievements to be gained and daily missions to give you something to do beyond button mashing. The intricacies of the game aren't hard to pick up and there are plenty of veteran players to lend a hand and give advice.
