The virtual d-pad is not static in one spot but it floats around on screen, something that most of the time works well as we can move the thumb so as to not obstruct our view.Īt the end of the day PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist is clearly a competent platformer. The controls simply aren't precise enough, and all too often we land on those pointy spikes or fall into a bottomless pit as a result of the stick going bonkers and sending us sliding forty extra metres to the right. It may be delightfully simplistic and accessible, but if you've ever tried to pull off elegant precision jumps in similar iOS titles you know what we're talking about. Something that does dampen the experience is the controls.
However, once the characters shut up and the testosterone stops flowing, there's a pretty entertaining game hidden underneath. It simply doesn't strike a chord with us and it just ends up being a little bit annoying.
It either revolves around silly banter that never goes anywhere, absurd encounters with things like a sniper giraffe named Falcon Lover, and various "funny" voices for weird side characters. Sure, it's mildly entertaining that Felix and other big YouTube personalities like CinnamonToastKen, Marzia and Markiplier contribute with their own voices, but the humour they convey comes across as incredibly contrived. And so our hero heads out on an adventure from the Northpole to Africa via the Moon, in order to save his fans. The reason for this is that all his fans have been kidnapped by evil barrels (that's right) who are out to get the legendary "Brofist" power PewDiePie is in possession of. After a while he checks to see how many views it has gotten and to his horror he realises it's gotten zero views. PewDiePie sits at home making one of his "hysterical" vlogs and uploads it to YouTube. So when we heard the YouTube sensation was getting his own iOS title called PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, we had mixed feelings. To some it's mostly loud noises and screaming.
Sure we've seen some of his work, and we fully understand why he's so popular, but his humour doesn't resonate with everyone. The massively successful YouTube star Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, may not be someone that appeals to everyone's tastes.
