I was originally just casually browsing on Tap, but I ended up discovering this hidden gem of a game, it's really amazing! To be honest, I played the stickman series on the web version when I was a kid, and it was so addictive. I didn't expect they would release a mobile game collection now, it really brings back all the childhood memories 😭
The key point is that this game isn't just recycling old content; it includes the classic version, the gun battle version, and the card version! It's like spending a penny (actually free!) to enjoy three kinds of fun. I can only say that the 'unbeatable charm' rule never gets old 👍
My favorite is the gunfight version; the controls feel unexpectedly smooth, and the way the stick figures jump around and shoot is oddly amusing, yet the combat is pretty hardcore. The classic version is fun too, with the swordsmen rushing forward and slashing away, only to get kited by the enemy archers, which made me slam my thighs in frustration 😂. Later I got smarter, putting spearmen in front to block and archers at the back to deal damage from afar. This kind of unit-countering gameplay really requires some thinking—it's not just about mindlessly charging in.
I haven't played the card game version deeply yet, but from the introduction, it seems like you can also build a roster, which is great news for collectors! The key point is that the game is only 5 GB? Oh no, the platform requirement is 5.0, but even old Android phones can run it smoothly, and that deserves praise. The developer is Shenzhen Yuyou, and although it's a small company, what they make is far from sloppy. The interface is clean with no ad bombs, unlike some games where you have to watch 30 seconds of ads just to play for a minute—those in the know will understand.
Now this game hardly has anyone discussing it on the forums, really a great game going unnoticed! I think it's just that the name was chosen too casually. Why call it 'Raid'? Wouldn't 'Stickman Family Bucket' sound better? 😂 Anyway, I'm planning to get my roommate to play together, and then we'll poke each other's behinds with swords, it will be hilarious.
One last thing, this game is free! Even players who spend nothing can have a great time, and it gives out lots of coupons for draws. It's so generous that I'm afraid it might lose money. Take advantage of the fact that it hasn't become popular yet and download it quickly; then you'll be an experienced player who can guide newcomers, hehe 🤣 Just go all in and you're good to go!
