IGN - It's a little odd to play a game as pretty as Oil Rush, yet spend a majority of the time staring at a minimap that takes up a small percentage of the screen. The gameplay revolves around attacking and defending nodes to expand and diversify your army, in the same vein as something like Galcon. Because of restrictions on movement and unit control, decisions about what to move and when aren't especially difficult to make, and despite the simplicity it's still satisfying when you manage to steer your forces in the right direction to capture a key node and secure a victory. The game's random elements are a source of frustration, however, and the single-player mode is a bore.
AppsGoer has discovered a great list of iOS games that launch on October 24, 2013. The list includes Combat Monsters, Dead Trigger 2, Fright Heights, Oil Rush, Asterix: Total Retaliation, Swarm of the Dead, Strike Wing: Raptor Rising and Castle Clash.
Taking place in a world where nuclear war has melted the ice caps, changing the face of the planet forever, Oil Rush offers unique gameplay, avoiding micromanagement of every single unit, while still providing full control over all important aspects of strategy and economy.
It's after E3, and it's going to be another slow summer. What has the DPod Crew been playing? How about some DOTA2, Animal Crossing, Oil Rush, and Aquaria?
