Android Gamer: Featured Android Game Review: Space Eon 3D [Arcade & Action]

Space Eon 3D is the first offering from Grim Genie Game Development. I will forewarn you that it’s not the most polished game as far as graphics go, but it’s one of the best games I have played that uses the accelerometer for controls. I have played a number of games in which the accelerometer controls your vehicle or spaceship and most of the time the sensitivity is always out of whack. Space Eon 3D’s controls are just right.

Space Eon 3D is a futuristic shooter game which has the typical storyline. You’re a pilot with no memory stuck in a warzone, and a General seems to know what’s going on and guides you. Lets face it, the storyline is secondary, so you will find yourself hitting skip. The premise is to fly through missions by shooting the bosses or other enemies. Within gameplay you can quickly boost your health or get a temporary shield by flying into the floating heart or shield. You will gain money with each mission that you can use for powerups as well. Powerups include longer lasting shields and stronger firepower. You can even hire helper ships. There are 9 achievements that will allow you to unlock 4 additional planes for your hangar.

There are 20 regular missions along with 10 extreme missions. You will find 3 unique bosses in 6 different boss battles. The menus and gameplay is as simple as it gets. Just hit the arrow keys to select Missions to play, buy powerups, buy upgrades, the hangar for selecting your aircraft, achievements, settings, or high scores. You control your ship by tilting your device, and for shooting, you tap your thumb (or any finger) on the screen. You will see a gauge for your health at the top as well as the gauge for the bosses strength. During missions, you can tap the powerup icon to pause the game and apply any powerups.

Space Eon 3D is available now in the Play Store for $1.93, but there’s a Free version also available. It limits the missions to 5, the bosses to 1, and the number of unlockable ships to 2. Because the achievements unlock the ships, you will only find 5 of them as opposed to 9 in the full version. Check out my hands on video below as well as the trailer video and download links to get started. As always, let me know what you think.
