Auro (Video Game Review)

Dinofarm has released their new title Auro on the App Store for iOS devices. The turn-based dungeon crawler with tactical elements allows gamers to dish out magic spells as a young prince.

Auro steals the Royal Wizard Quillsh’s staff making his way into the sewer to wreak chaos and test out his magic. During his time bumping everything into the water, Auro finds that he has touched the ancient statue of the evil villainous Prince Argo unleashing its madness onto the Kingdom. What will this spoiled brat do next? Read on to find out!

Auro starts out with asking players to watch some videos on Youtube to learn more about the game and to see how to play. After you get a grasp on what to do, gamers are then asked to take the placement test to see where they are at in their studies. Your first task is to kill as many monsters as you can in as few turns as possible. Once you pass your test then you will receive a rank based on your skills. Seems easy enough huh? Not quite.

Taking out monsters while not falling into the water isn't as simple as it would seem especially for players new to this particular type of game. However, after a few minutes of practice, gamers will find that Auro is a very fun game despite the challenges of its steep learning curve. The soundtrack for Auro is delightful with colorfully vivid graphics and characters. Some of the monsters that you will take on include the Trickster, Foxy, Jelly and so forth.

After the battle ends, players will receive their rank, and will be given details about their gameplay progress and kills which are based on a 1-4 point scale. Auro will have gamers play across a wide variety of different levels offering up an unique adventure each time.

In the end, Auro is a monster bumping adventure that definitely delivers! Gamers will find that the game offers up a unique gameplay experience unlike any other title on mobile devices and is well worth the download. To learn more, visit the official Auro website.
