Indestructible is a freemium vehicular combat video game developed by Glu Mobile for iOS and Android mobile devices.
Gameplay
The game contains four gameplay modes: Team Death Match, Capture The Flag, Recover The Charge, and Death Match.[1] The gameplay objective of each mode is different depending on the mode that is chosen;[1] the primarily objective is to use the player's vehicle to destroy the vehicles of other players, although depending on the game mode, there may also be other objectives.[2] A match ends when a certain predetermined score is met, for example, 5 kills in "Team Death Match" mode.[1] Indestructible supports online multiplayer in "matches" of up to four players,[2] with two players in a team (excepting Death Match, where all the players play for themselves).[1] An offline single-player and "practice" mode is also available.[1] During matches, power-up boxes may spawn on the game's map; driving into these boxes result in either armor (which refers to health) repair or double damage, which doubles the damage given by the player's weapon.[1] The game features several vehicles and weapons, which can be customized to a player's needs, though they need to be bought first.[1] In-game paint jobs for the vehicles are also available.[2] The Team Death Match is the most commonly played followed by Capture the Flag, Recover the Charge, and Death Match. In the iOS version of Indestructible, you can invite friends to play with you via game center. On the Android version, you cannot invite friends.
Reception
Indestructible has received mostly positive reviews. Android Authority praised the game's 3D graphics and as well as the game's controls, calling them "great".[2] Android Police's review was more mixed, with criticism being focused on the simple gameplay, the lack of an in-game penalty for leaving a match (which allows players to "bail" from a game freely), and slow progress, which results in "grinding".[3] The game's freemium aspect, as well as the vehicles' "loose" controls, which means that "[the player] feels like you’re driving a propeller dinghy rather than a sleek, amped-up death machine" was also criticized.[3] Androidtapp rated the game 3.8/5, with pros being the game's graphics, music, controls and vehicle upgrades, and the cons mainly consisting of the lack of strategy involved in the gameplay, summing Indestructible up as a "good game".[4] Gamezebo scored Indestructible three stars out of five, commending the "cool" car designs and weapons, but found the controls to be poor, and criticized the fact that in order to obtain the best in-game items quickly, real money needs to be spent.[5]
