Ironhide Game Studio has teased Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance, which is coming soon to Google Play, iOS, and Steam.
Wholeheartedly agree. The tangible, overall control of a game is completely lost with a touch screen. I feel as though anybody can tap away at a screen, where it takes a true gamer to undertake multiple functions in tandem.
You control going from point A to B but not HOW to get there. That is one of the problems.
Tapping is cool for like 2 minutes, then you want more.
It's still playing! Controls and input method is just one facet that make a game. If you don't consider games with a touchscreen an actual "game" might as well state that many games created in 80s were not actual games. Pac-man and Mrs.Pac-man were simplistic by nature, all you had was a Joystick nothing more.
Galaga was a Joystick with 1 button, Konami's track and field was a button masher nothing complex about that.
Complexity of controls does not determine whether something is a true "videogame".
Simple checklist - Does it have progression? Does it have a control scheme (no matter how simple)? Is there a strategy involved? Is it fun? Yes! Then have fun playing your videogame and stop being an entitled hater of videogames, if you happen not to like a certain style of games then don't play them. There are many more you could be playing instead of trying to convince people why their stupid for liking what they like.
