Rovio’s Angry Birds series has seen many shapes over the years. It all started with a fantastic slingshot game, but in recent years Rovio has been on the water with low-effort bubble poppers and match-3 titles, which are hardly worth writing about. Surprisingly, Rovio has just announced the smooth launch of Angry Birds Journey and, to my surprise, it looks like Rovio has finally returned to its roots with a new entry into the main sling series.
Above, you find the trailer for Angry Birds Journey, which briefly shows the game in action. As you can see, Angry Birds has returned to its roots with the return of sling mechanics. Much like the original game, you will spend your time launching birds into towers made of blocks and pigs. Since this is a puzzle game, solving each stage becomes more and more challenging as you progress, and as each bird brings its own unique skills to the table, you will use those skills to help you solve the breaking stages. game head.
Now, it’s worth bearing in mind that the Angry Birds Journey arrived as an early access version and is currently only available in select regions. Only those who live in the United States, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Canada and Poland will install the title. There is currently no news as to when Rovio will expand access to the rest of the globe. Still, since this release came out of nowhere, I think we’ll probably see a worldwide release sooner or later (depending on the success of this early access launch).
The Angry Birds Journey is a free release, which means that the game is full of in-app purchases and, yes, to everyone’s dismay, they cost up to $ 99.99 per item. These purchases are mainly for in-game currency packs, although there are also some starter packs that offer currency, resistance and a few other items. This means that there is a resistance system in the game, although to start this resistance is unlimited, but like all resistance systems, it will eventually stop the gameplay, which is always sad to see.
So there it is. Rovio returned to his bread and butter sling game style with the early access launch of Angry Birds Journey on the Google Play Store. So, if you were a fan of the original, you can have fun with Journey, although the greedy system of monetization and resistance could stop people, and rightly so, since there is no real need to monetize such a simple game that way. But hey, nobody said that Rovio really grew up in consciousness, but at least the game is free, so if you’re interested, you can easily take a look.
