Transformers Rescue Bots: Dash

This game is fun, and although you have to purchase bits it’s still fun. Except that in order to keep playing, you have to buy a new character. It’s a money trap! You buy the character, and it’s the same thing for the three bot levels, but with three bots. It’s stupid. At least make it so that after getting to that point you can select just one for free. Or just add new bots to make it more worth it. My sister loves this game, and was very upset she can’t play it anymore. Unfair. Please change this.

You start out with two characters, Blades and Boulder, and have to pay for the rest. Neat game but it’s the master of “Oh, this was cool, let’s make it the whole games thing!” The running from natural disaster stuff, saving people, gigantic morbot. And: the money. I have said before in a review for another game, you can call me a poor cheapie, but I’m legally not aloud to work, not many chores for me to do, no money to spend, and as a bonus: the other game has 6 playable characters: Chase, blades, boulder, heatwave, Optimus and Bumblebee, but 2 where free, Chase and blades, in disaster dash, theres Quickshadow, so the amount that’s free? 2/7. So, 4 stars, maybe 5 if I didn’t have to pay. Expansion to review: Just so you know, parts of the game requires 3 characters, meaning that some parts of the game require in game transactions for characters even though the level designs are playable with basically all of them. For the inconvenient level requirement, I changed it from 4/5 stars to 3/5. Extra expansion to the review: This is gonna be a short one, but I don’t think I mentioned that you can’t replay levels. That means that the more work you do, the less fun the game allows. That’s why my review, now includes a 2 star rating.

I spent $10 to unlock all the bots on my son’s iPhone and then tried to share the purchase on my daughter’s phone. It won’t work. So apparently the family sharing claim isn’t accurate. I’ll definitely make sure I don’t trust Budge when it comes to games. I’ve bought all these Rescue bot games and some of the other transformer games, and I’m too frustrated to continue to support the franchise using the App Store. I’m certainly not going to spend another $10 to unlock the bots—which by the way seems to be a ridiculous price for the quality of the actual app. Plus according to other reviews here, people haven’t ever been able to restore their purchases when switching phones. Additionally it’s been 4 months since the dev updated anything. Really? We have a whole new iOS and no updates? Wish I could get my $10 back.
