Cartoon Wars is an arcade themed game for the iPhone and the iPod touch, that has elements of both the Tower Defense and Real-time Strategy genres. You can control either enemy side, standing at either points of the field. After which they go to war, which is the main aim of this game. You control your line of defense and the enemy controls theirs. Your objective is to defeat the enemy by firing the canon that is in your possession, and also serving out your troops to defeat your opponent. You are basically “The Cartoons” and the enemies are trying to take down your faction known as “The Cartoon Empire”, your enemies are the more colorful and evil creatures. As the game progresses you gain gold, which can be utilized to upgrade your soldiers.
Controls in Cartoon Wars are pretty easy. At the bottom of the screen of your iPhone or iPod touch you have your array of soldiers, which can vary depending on cost, their effect and the power they have. Also on the screen is your castle, cannon and your “Mana Booster”. These are all essential elements of the game. Your cannon is an additional weapon that can be used to kill the monsters that are sent by the enemy towards your castle. The yellow switch that can be seen at the bottom right is what is used to fire the cannon mentioned above.
The graphics of the game are pretty unpar with other iPhone/iPod touch games that are out there. The graphics are a bit cartoony as the name of the game implies, but in my opinion they are a bit too much so. When playing the game one can easily notice that the graphics are a bit sketchy, somewhat pixelated and the blood explosions that occur from time to time make the experience a bit worse. But i suppose that the low level graphics actually help the game play because the game just has so much going on that I imagine improved graphics would just lag the game to high hell making it unplayable, nonetheless graphics are a matter of personal opinion and not everyone might have the same one.
The audio effects of the game is where i was disappointed a bit. The music has a somewhat medieval theme to it which does suit the game quite well but has horrible implementation. While playing you can notice skipping of the audio from time to time, as if there is just one audio file that is being looped over and over again. The good thing though is that you can play your own music during the game, simply by tapping the home button twice.
The game is pretty fun and addictive while you get gold and do your upgrades but once you get to the point where you have upgraded everything the game literally becomes boring so much so that its no fun playing it anymore. I haven’t once launched the game since I had done all the upgrades, but for its price point of $0.99 its not too bad
