Subway Surfers is an endless runner mobile game released in 2012 and available on Android, iOS, Kindle, and Windows Phone platforms. There's really nothing particularly new about Subway Surfers. Like Temple Run, the point is to run endlessly to avoid capture. But it's still an immensely entertaining game.
Although nowadays, Temple Run has lost its popularity, Subway Surfers remains one of the most downloaded mobile games out there. It still thrives and its player base continues to steadily grow.
The game “Subway Surfers” is a favourite time-waster for most students. The storyline of the game focuses on a teenage who is a graffiti artist vandalizing public property, i.e., spray painting train. When a police officer sees it and starts to chase, it is up to the player to help him escape. Subway Surfers is all about running away from the cop.
The player controls the main character through swiping the screen. it’s nothing innovative. Swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide, swipe left to jump left, and swipe right to jump right. These controls are easy to learn and the character controls are simple. More often than not, the controls are responsive. For an infinite runner game, good controls are paramount. Throughout the run, you can collect coins, gain power-ups, and even ride a hoverboard.
Gamers can choose different characters to control. Player can unlock new characters by doing challenges, collecting keys, and spending money. Characters can also be unlocked by trading in coins. As the player gets more coins, he or she can buy different characters to play. Over the years Subway Surfers has released numerous characters.
There’s also a social media element to Subway Surfer. If players log in to their Facebook account, they can race against their friends that also have the game. Whether you’re competing with friends, attempting to unlock a new character, or trying to beat your old score, the game always gives you something to strive for. There are missions and leaderboards too, which function as incentives and can give you the motivation to play.
Although Subway Surfers has microtransactions and it helps you to progress further faster, most people on top leaderboards only play for free. You can play this game for years and not spend a single penny. It is not the game pay-to-win, as one’s skill is the biggest factor in success.
While Subway Surfers is a really fun game for killing boredom and competing with friends, it’s not perfect. The game is a repetitive gameplay. You’re essentially doing the same thing over and over again. Subway Surfers’ graphics are always the same. The fact that there isn’t much variation in gameplay can lead people to stop playing.
So, what’s the verdict? My opinion Subway Surfers is a great game and most importantly it is free of charge. If you’re interested, go and download it now! The only way to find out whether you like it or is to give it a shot.
