Welcome to Gaming on the Go, presented by the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. This week, we’re looking at some of the most tactile games for fast fingers, including BAFTA-winning puzzler The Room, the grimly adorable Reaper, and quick-fire restaurant sim Good Pizza, Great Pizza.
One of the best things about handheld games is right there in the name. All the excitement and joy of gaming can be translated perfectly into that little space between your fists, enabling you to bring your most-loved hobby anywhere in the world with ease.
In fact, the ROG Phone 7 goes one step further, and offers a gaming experience far richer than any you might find on another platform through its innovative use of haptic feedback, ultrasonic triggers, and gyroscopic aim. Let’s take a look at a few games that really get your fingers tapping, making them a perfect match for this tingling tactile technology.
Reaper
When we think of the Grim Reaper, the word “adorable” might not be the first to come to mind, but this magical romp gives us an all-new take on the cloaked herald himself. Reaper is an epic action RPG and a fast-paced journey through a land rich with magic, where our stout little hero can take on countless quests and loot himself new weapons, armor, and accessories.
When you’re not deep in battle, you’ll notice some of the brilliant details Reaper has to offer, from its gorgeous backdrops and character design to its unique leveling system of using the Destiny Tarot to pick new skills. Build your character however you’d like as you travel across strange new lands, meeting unique people and beasts along the way
With multiple enemies on-screen at any one time, every finger flick and tap is worth its weight in gold. Using the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate’s custom haptic feedback settings, you can ensure that each move is relayed to you in the form of a tactile response. Set different intensities and durations of vibration for on-screen buttons, making them a snap to use. Play enough with these custom settings and you’ll soon use the feedback to unconsciously react to what’s on screen, giving you faster reflexes than ever.
The Room
The Room is a game that transports us to a world of enigmatic puzzles and compelling mysteries, placing the key to each problem in the palm of your hand. Grasp the puzzle box of The Room and turn it over, flick its switches, and press its buttons to reveal the secrets within. There are precious few clues, but when you’re in detective mode, nothing is off-limits in this curious 3D world.
Once you’ve picked up The Room, you’ll be hard-pushed to put it back down, as its tactile appeal urges you to fiddle with it obsessively and unveil the truth. With satisfying switches and puzzles to solve, this game allows you to lose yourself in a new reality, one beautifully realized by an array of richly decorated objects and areas.
The ROG Phone 7 Ultimate lets you delve even further into the physical experience of The Room, as its gyroscopic aim and customizable controls will allow you to maneuver objects in a way formerly unrealized in mobile gaming. Configure each gesture in a way that works for you, using the advanced fingertip control to spin, click, and twist your way to a solution.
Good Pizza, Great Pizza
Everyone likes pizza, but it takes some skilled hands to make this popular dish. Do you have what it takes to run your own pizza shop? Good Pizza, Great Pizza puts that to the test, challenging you to manage your own business and compete against a rival chef to achieve greatness. This tasty game features over 50 unique customers with unique personalities (and pizza orders) and allows you to become a real professional – at least in the virtual kitchen.
Good Pizza, Great Pizza is all about leveling up your gastronomic offerings to cater for discerning customers. You’ll start off pretty simple and small-scale, but soon you’ll offer an array of delicious toppings to rival any of the finest pizza chefs.
When you’re cooking you really need to let your hands do the talking, and the gameplay in Good Pizza, Great Pizza is no different. Create your pizzas with finesse using the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate’s unmatched touchscreen responsiveness and custom controls. Whether you use on-screen gestures and swipes, backed up with customizable haptic feedback, or prefer to use the ultrasonic AirTriggers for the full console experience, you’ll be producing pizzas worthy of Italy in no time.
Whatever hands-on game you choose to play with the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, be sure to make full use of the unique tactile experiences on offer and feel truly in control.
