Overview
As a kid in the ‘90s I used to watch a lot of Power Rangers episodes. Over the years the television series was turned into an entertainment and merchandising franchise with its latest manifestation being the Power Rangers movie which was launched in 2017.
But Power Rangers fans weren’t treated only with the movie this year. Game developer nWay in collaboration with Lionsgate and Saban (owner of the frenchsie) also unleashed the Power Rangers: Legacy Wars game for Android. The title presents an alternate scenario than the one you’ll be seeing on the big screen, in which Rita Repulsa devices a master plan to pit Rangers against one another.
Getting started
The application is free to download from the Google Play Store. The game is quick to install and loads quite easily, so gamers will be transported to the Power Rangers universe in no time.
Impressions
As a player, you will need to resist the forces of darkness summoned by the evil witch Rita Repulsa by collecting Power Ranger characters that span over the franchise’s 24-year history. Assemble teams of both villains and rangers in order to take down the armies of the wicked witch which include Ranger clones that have been programmed to fight for her.
The gameplay is quite simple with no additional story overlay. The characters don’t interact which each other except in the arena where they are supposed to fight to the death in bands of three versus three. Players can move their characters backwards or forwards by simply swiping the screen. In order to attack or block you’ll need to tap on one of the three options. Every action costs power points, so after a hit you’ll need to wait a few seconds for the power to be replenished.
You’ll notice attack cards come in three colors: yellow, blue and red. That’s because the game has a system – red trumps blue (blocking), blue defends against yellow attacks and yellow attacks have priority over red. But while most of the time the game follows this pattern, a few times I noticed a disengagement from these rules. For example, I was able to block red attacks with blue more than a few times. Additional cards will let you invite another member of your team into the battle for a short period of time.
Additionally I observed some lag between tapping on a card and the Power Ranger actually executing the command, which was probably due to my data-connection or some server issues. During such matches, moving my character proved to be extremely difficult, while my opponent seemed to move extremely fast. Since the game allows you to fight against real players in real-time PvP, it is recommended to be on a strong Wi-Fi connection when you play the game.
Warriors can be upgraded using Zeo Shards which you earn through battles and missions. You if you want to get better players or upgrade your fighters, there are in-app purchases that can get you there fast. You can acquire Power Crystals (good for speeding things up and upgrading characters), Power Coins (also for upgrading characters), Morph Boxes (mystery prizes) and even new characters. But spending money is not the only option – you can simply play and play until you unlock these upgrades/characters.
A few words about the visual gaming experience – the graphics are quite well executed and the fighters enjoy fluid movements. The backgrounds aren’t super exciting but they look nice. As for the music, it’s nothing out of the ordinary – exactly what you’d expect from an action-packed game like this.
Conclusion: The game is fun and engaging to play at first, but be prepared to spend quite some time in the training pit if you want to upgrade your characters and be able to take on more skilled opponents. After a while it got a tad tedious for me, as you end up executing the same actions over and over again. Basically you just have to tap on cards and remember the rules.
In 2017 budget phones are starting to look more like premium devices. Case in point, the Honor 8 is basically build like Samsung’s most
As for the
Like the majority of Huawei’s phones, the Honor 8 features a homegrown Kirin 950 processor under the hood which is an octa-core affair (4 x 2.3GHz Cortex-A72 cores plus 4 x 1.8GHz Cortex-A53 cores). The phone is aided by 4GB of RAM and either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage (a microSD card slot is available for memory expansion up to 256GB).
If you are buying a phone mainly for photography reasons, you need to ask yourself – do you want a dual camera phone? Is the answer is yes, then you will probably want to go for the Honor 8.
While the Honor 8 shipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, it is upgradable to Android 7.0 Nougat. The Moto G5 being a newer phone comes with Nougat pre-installed.
According to previous hearsay, the phone should come boasting a 5.5-inch display with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels) and 4GB of RAM plus 64GB of internal storage. At this point, it seems like the HTC U will take advantage of the services of a 12MP main camera plus a 16MP selfie snapper.
Google, for its part is expected to acknowledge the issue and start working on a fix ASAP. It’s not the first time Google rolls out an update which ends up breaking something or bringing some nasty bug forth.
While this option isn’t for everyone, there are some truckers out there who bring pets along with them when they are out at work. Animals are great company and having a furry friend with you can make the time pass quicker and help you to stop feeling quite so homesick! There are truckers that take dogs, cats, birds, and even micropigs with them when they work so you never know, it could work for you as well!
However, instead of the 13MP main snapper of the LG K20 V, you’ll find an 8MP main camera on the LG Harmony, plus a 5MP front-facing camera. The phone relies on a 2,800 mAh battery for juice and runs Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. Despite being a pretty low-end affair, the LG Harmony does feature a fingerprint reader on the back.
In the official press release they’ve sent us,
The LG Harmony can be yours for $99.99 with an activiation of a 3GB/8GB/12GB or Unlimited plan.
After a recommendation from a coworker I downloaded 

The jury was well and truly out on the prospect of seeing such a device hit the shelves this year due to the S8’s reinvented sleek design BUT we are happy to announce the Active is well and truly on its way.
