Dan The Man

There’s a great deal of fun to be had with Dan the Man. While the premise is simple - fight opponents and clear them out to advance - the formula doesn’t get stale because of the variety of opponents as well as how difficult they get as the game goes on. That, and there’s a surprising amount of depth in the storyline that even tackles mature themes, yet it never loses its retro feel. People might complain about the ads, but to be frank that’s what you should expect from a game that is free to download - the devs have to make money somehow if you’re not gonna pay. I mean, c’mon, you pay the price of a burger value meal to enjoy the majority of the game, and the DLC is reasonably price too. I’ve logged hours on the survival mode alone, and there are some console games I paid 60 bucks for that didn’t give nearly this amount of fun - nor for the same amount of time. Ultimately, I feel people whining about the ads are just too cheap. You pay for what you get, and if you don’t pay then you need to support the devs another way. Ignore the whiners, and give this game a try if you want to play a good platformer to kill time on.

I just got this game, and it’s already an immediate keeper. I also like jet pack joyride, but about this game, the graphics are awesome! The only issue I have Is the ads.. I understand there is a premium subscription, but I’m only 12 and don’t got a bank account and its just annoying how many there are in some places.. and also I feel like it takes to long to even get up to 250 coins. I feel like the clothing for the avatar maker in this game are to pricy. I also think that there needs to be something to do without WiFi, that doesn’t cost coins. So other than those suggestions this game is very enjoyable! Keep making games like this please! And one last thing, I’m trying to get Barry, but every time I invite a friend, it doesn’t work, I’ve sent 6 messages to friends and it won’t give it to me. Another thing is that when I break a statue and I get a gun/ weapon and I’m in a low ceiling place the gun gets stuck in the ceiling and I can’t get it.

Dan The Man is an amazing game, that can be compared to beat-em-up games of the old. And is probably one of the most real games I’ve played on a mobile device. But the overwhelming amount of ads you must watch Destroys the flow of gameplay! Every technical thing in this game requires you watching an ad, want to save progress? Ad. Need a little weapon or health from an item station? Ad. NEED TO PLAY THE NEXT LEVEL? AD! It’s to the point that this is the only game where I have found myself considering to buy a lackluster add on just to get rid of ads all together. To sum it up Dan The Man is a stellar game but the amount of ads is unbearable and destroys the flow of gameplay, and could’ve been handled much better with it maybe showing up in the pause screen or before and after a stage. It’s worth the try but if you are not someone fond of the waiting in many mobile games then it’s not worth the time.

The first problem that gets really annoying is that when you kill enemies that give multiple coins they spray those coins to either side, this doesn’t sound bad until half of the coins you get from an enemy fall into the water an become irretrievable. This becomes especially bad when prize tokens from the survival arena fall in the water... the enemy that gives them is a rare spawn. The other problem is gating each adventure challenge behind a 24 hour cool down... I understand gating them for 24 hours in sections. But either way there is no way to time skip, not even watching adds. The annoyance that people have with adds is petty, developers have to make money, and the adds either give you something or become skippable most of the time. I don’t have premium and have had a great time with the game.

I love these platforming games but this one doesn’t live up to other platforms. The controls first off are great, I don’t get to buttons mixed up often. The gameplay is the worst in multiple ways. The game never has cool little things that make certain levels stand out between the rest. Celeste, for example, has different objects and mechanics that make the game cool and memorable. The fighting is always repetitive and nothing cool is done to make the bosses different from the normal enemies. The difficulty is always overwhelming and is either too easy or too hard. The story is okay nothing revolutionary. The last world has the best levels and still isn’t very clever. The game is filled with secrets that are way to difficult to find most of the time and I’ll be spending minutes just to find a secret I know exists. I know a lot of work has been put into this game, but all for the wrong reasons.
