Throughout the game, there are gates that require you to win at PvP a select number of times to keep going.
#SOUTHPARK PHONE DESTROYER DECK CONFIG UPGRADE#
If you can’t upgrade your cards, you’ll find yourself falling behind in the PvP and PvE space. Leveling up a card gives it a big health and damage boost. To upgrade cards, each theme has specific upgrade materials (three of escalating rarity) that must be found, and copies of said card sacrificed to upgrade. Repeating missions raises the difficulty which simply ups the enemy levels and changes the quality loot.
If you don’t get the high quality loot, you can spend premium currency for additional chances. The game tells you of the three highest possible loot drops which supposedly should be randomly placed, although I find that highly suspect. Before we talk about that, it’s important to bring up how progression works in the game.Ĭompleting campaign missions will give you three picks from a set of lockers that determines your reward. South Park Phone Destroyer starts off innocently enough, but it won’t take long before the game forces you into a wall. Unfortunately, this is all ruined thanks to one of the most exploitative monetization schemes I’ve seen yet. As an example, Cartman plays a tank in different themes, adventure Cartman is a cowboy who has an AOE attack, while Mystical Cartman doesn’t attack, but draws all enemies to attacking him. Not only do the styles fit the world, but there is enough differentiation between them to offer different strategies. The potential combinations and deck styles are easily the best part of South Park Phone Destroyer. You can only have two themes (plus neutral) cards in a deck of 10. Similar to the RPG games, the aesthetic holds up well with all manner of hand-made costumes used for devastating attacks. After that, there are four classes: Range, Assassin, Tank and Fighter, and different rarities of cards.Įach theme has the members of South Park dressed up in a variety of costumes. Cards are broken down into currently five themes such as adventure, fantasy and so on. ChimParkomon:īuilding and upgrading your army is going to be your prime focus in Phone Destroyer. Phone Destroyer’s collection and team building system show off the best parts of the design. This plays a major (and polarizing) part of the experience which we’ll get back to. Complete each level in a chapter to move onto the next.īesides the singleplayer campaign, the game features live PvP with 1 v 1 battles of your army vs. At the end of each level you’ll fight a named character from the series. For those who’ve played freemium games like Clash Royale, Phone Destroyer doesn’t stray too far it.Įach level requires you to summon various characters as your army while you move through the streets of South Park. Everybody gets in on the craziness of dressing up and fighting (more on that in a minute).
You play as the silent protagonist of the New Kid who gets roped into the game by Cartman.įrom an IP standpoint, Phone Destroyer fits perfectly within the crazy universe of South Park. What starts out as a simple game turns into a genre spanning battleground for South Park with Cowboys, Indians, Aliens, Pirates, Cyborgs, and more all fighting for dominance. All the kids of South Park are trying to find a new game to play until Cartman suggests Cowboys and Indians. South Park Phone Destroyer picks up at what I assume is after the Fractured But Whole. Despite a perfect use of the IP, South Park Phone Destroyer fails to avoid the monetization traps that have plagued mobile games before it, and for me sinks what would be an otherwise great concept. After the surprising success of The Stick of Truth, we got the Fractured But Whole and Phone Destroyer this year. Who would have guessed that the South Park IP would become a new hit RPG franchise.
