G. I. Joe Battleground is the app everyone should have on their smartphone or tablet.\u00a0 The app comes to us from Mobage games.\u00a0 It is a very addictive game.\u00a0 I mean, I just got the game less than 48 hours ago and I am still hooked. Why is this game so amazing?\u00a0 Well, first of all, the game uses artwork similar to the backs of the figures that I collected back in the ’80’s.\u00a0 So, Ripcord looks like the vintage toy and not the film version.\u00a0 With that being said, I look forward to catching or recruiting more soldiers just to see what their card will look like.\u00a0 The epic and rare cards actually have movement which makes them awesome.\u00a0 But enough of my rambling, let me quote the official FB page for a moment.\u00a0 “G.I. JOE: BATTLEGROUND is an exciting “action figure” adventure RPG where players will assemble teams of iconic Joe and Cobra characters to do battle!”\u00a0 That quote pretty much says it all, but let me go a little further by sharing some info from the original site.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right, you can choose to be Cobra or a Joe.\u00a0 Hell, you can even mix your squad for battle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plenty of missions with great rewards at the end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes, after a battle, \u00a0you can capture \u00a0an opponent and make them part of your unit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You even have the option to power up your soldiers to make them more effective in battle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only drawback, if you consider it one,\u00a0in the game is that it is a chess type atmosphere, meaning the\u00a0characters move like game pieces and not actual soldiers.\u00a0\u00a0I love the game simply because it takes me back in the day when I was a kid playing G.I. Joe in my room and having a blast doing so.\u00a0 The artwork is fantastic and the storyline is well written.\u00a0 To see more shots from the game, please make sure to go to the Derf’s Domain FB page and look for the album titled G.I. Joe Battleground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All in all, I give the game a strong rating of 8.5 out of 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my favorite cards.\u00a0 In the game, he actually shots the arrow.\u00a0 :)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, and feel free to challenge me to a battle or become an ally if you play.\u00a0 My gamer name is derfsdomain.\u00a0 :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
