![]() Players can trade intel for credits, but it goes to better use when uploaded to Alliance Command. Enemies drop intel which is also doled out for completing the game. I should also mention here that linking your Origin account allows you to affect your galactic readiness rating in ME3. I never had 41,379 credits, but I never needed that much either No doubt it will make some money, but I never felt pressured to use the feature the game’s balanced challenge just doesn’t incentivize it. All this makes it look like the in-app purchase option got a perfunctory treatment because somebody, at some level, required it. None of the load screen tips I’ve seen ever suggest buying credits but do provide gameplay tips to earn them faster. From of $2 for 2,500 credits (enough for several low-level upgrades or one mid-level) to $50 for 200,000 credits, the options range from easily achievable in a few minutes of play to so absurdly overpriced that the any buyers deserve what they get. This may seem crazy on top of a $7 game, but the implementation almost seems designed to discourage additional purchases. In true app store fashion, the game allows for credit purchases with real money. ![]() Score translates to credits that, in turn, translate to upgrades. I often found myself trying to close distance on a Nemesis sniper to take her out with a short range weapon when I could have much more easily sniped her… at the cost of style points. In this way Iron Monkey has cleverly wedged in a bit of artificial difficulty. Failing to change weapons from one kill to the next (outside combos) actually subtracts style points. While the first two are self-explanatory, style points go up with successful combos and for using a different weapon for each successive kill. Players get a possible three star rating in three areas: time, health, and style. Eventually, I got the hang of it, but not without some cursing. This came in contrast to my favored sniper rifle, which can’t combo but requires a tap to fire. However, tapping causes Randall to leave targeting mode, breaking the combo. In the early going, I ran into some trouble with the shotgun: the delay between shots made me instinctively tap to fire rather than waiting for auto-fire. When an enemy goes down, quickly targeting successive enemies in range drastically amplifies damage and remits style points that add to the final score for each section. While the weapon fires, the player swipes around to aim more precisely, usually at the head (the exception, bosses, have obvious weak points). ![]() The player can tap an enemy within weapon range to start auto-firing the equipped weapon. The combo system provides more damage and greater rewards for chaining attacks together. The game certainly looks like Mass Effect
