Game Description
Commence the D-Day Invasion!
The day is June 6, 1944. This day is likely going to be the most important one in your life so far. All your training and experience has been honed to perfection for this precise moment. You’re just one of many American soldiers stationed on a ship that is about to commence the Allied invasion into France during the most heated period of WWII. The battles ahead will not be easy; the German army is one of the most fearsome in the world.
Beating the Nazis and getting through this ordeal in one piece will require you to know many things. You need to know when to shoot, when to run, and when to hide. Make so much as one slip-up, and not only will you be dead, but you may very well cost the Allies their victory. Keep your head on, figuratively and literally, and be careful. You’re a Frontline Commando and this is D-Day.
Welcome to the Frontline, Soldier
Frontline Commando: D-Day is a game that harkens back to the classic arcade shooters of old. From the moment you take your first step off the boat and into the battlefield, you’ll enter a world on your mobile device where shots are fired from every angle and death could be around every corner. The only way out is forward, and the only way forward is to be a crack-shot with your gun.
- Watch the action unfold with state-of-the-art 3D graphics and against the backdrop of a heroic orchestral score.
- Take aim and fire with simple, responsive and intuitive touchscreen controls.
- Zoom in your view to hit distant targets with greater ease.

- Fire a variety of WWII-era weapons, including machine guns, long-range rifles, rockets launchers and more!
- Score headshots to drop enemy soldiers quickly.
- Dodge landmines and other hazards as you dash from one hiding spot to the next.
- Features environmental destruction. Eliminate sandbags and barricades to expose bunkered-down soldiers and make them easier to shoot.
Complete the Campaign
Frontline Commando: D-Day isn’t like the average casual game that can be finished in an afternoon. It presents a challenging and lengthy story campaign that will see you through to the end of the D-Day invasion.
- Proceed through five campaigns, each of which represents a different sector in the Normandy landing: Juno, Sword, Gold, Omaha and Utah.
- Complete over 160 missions.
- Achieve bonus objectives littered throughout every mission. Get a minimum number of headshots, finish the mission in record time, and more.

If you want to experience an epic adventure that can be enjoyed in bite-sized chunks of time, then sign up as a Frontline Commando with D-Day today. It’s a decision you won’t regret.
Frontline Commando: D-Day Review
- Review by David Galvin
Dave Galvin is a freelance writer and avid gamer. Somehow, he managed to find a way to combine the two passions.
A WWII Touchscreen Shooter
World War II used to be the go-to setting for the shooter genre, but it seems to have tapped out for the past few years. Fortunately, those who miss the setting or missed the boat entirely can now try it out with Frontline Commando: D-Day. There aren't a whole lot of games that deliver fast and furious shooter action for the mobile platform, but this game proves that it can be done.
Explosive Presentation
Your eyes are not deceiving you. You're not looking at a commercial military shooter for the PC or console; you're looking at a genuine free-to-play mobile game with touchscreen controls. While they might look outdated when compared to more modern games, they nevertheless blow the visuals of most mobile games straight out of the water. The characters are animated very well and they have enough detail to hold up upon close inspection, stony facial expressions aside.
A lot of care was also taken in making the environments feel like brutal war zones. You'll run through trenches, duck behind sandbags, narrowly dodge mortar blasts, and watch as fires burn in the distance while emitting dark plumes of smoke into the air. Bombers fly in the sky, tanks roll out with crushing force, and both erupt into flames when they are destroyed. Bouts of shooting are punctuated by brief but intense feelings of panicked movement as your soldier rushes from one area of cover to the next. While the levels might start to blend together after extended play, they do a great job at simulating the feeling of being at war.
The sound design is similarly well-done. Every gunshot and explosion sounds authentic. Enemy soldiers shout orders to each other in harsh German tones. On top of it all, the game is backed by an intense soundtrack that was composed to capture a harsh but heroic feeling. In short, every element of Frontline Commando: D-Day's presentation does the job of putting you in a Nazi-shooting mood exquisitely. Props should definitely be owed to it on this front if you'll pardon the pun.
Nice Shooting
If you were to look at any trailers or gameplay videos of Frontline Commando: D-Day, you'd probably be forgiven for thinking that it's a console-quality cover shooter in a similar vein to the Gears of War series. Sadly, that isn't the case at all. It's really more akin to an on-rails arcade shooter. Keep that in mind if you want to avoid disappointment.
Once you get past that hurdle, you'll quickly realize that it actually works surprisingly well at that. Spectacle plays a large part of the fun of a rail shooter, and as described already, its visuals do a great job at giving you that.
Controls are all operated via the touchscreen. There are buttons for zooming in and pulling the trigger. You can also slide your finger around to rotate the camera, look around the area, and aim your sights on your trigger-happy foes. Finally, you can change your soldier's position with just a simple tap of your finger. Doing so is a tactical action that might give you a better spot to shoot the enemy from, but it also makes you vulnerable to gunfire while you're out of cover. The enemy AI isn't particularly bright and it can't perform a whole lot of actions either, but the shooting is still a load of fun thanks to the game's responsive controls.
The shooting in particular is helped by the healthy variety of weapons you'll undoubtedly use over the course of the campaign. You'll fire the standard-issue M1 Garand rifle, throw grenades at enemies that are really hunkered down, use an RPG to blow up tanks and heavy fortifications, and even shoot planes out of the sky with a powerful mounted anti-air turret. Sadly, acquiring new weapons permanently can be a tad difficult if you don't want to spend money. Gold rewards are dismal and weapons are expensive. Fortunately, it's not entirely necessary to spend money on the game, but it's annoying that so much of the arsenal is gated behind a paywall.
Running for Cover
The movement in most rail shooters is a highly non-interactive affair. The camera pans around, zooms in on a new location, and stops at the next area that's swarming with bad guys. Frontline Commando: D-Day does away with this notion in a very interesting way: by adding some elements from the endless runner genre to the movement sections.
Obstructions threaten the life of your soldier as he sprints from one covered zone to the next. These can include fallen trees that must be vaulted over, or even landmines that you'll have to weave around without slowing down. While these instances are brief, they suit the subject matter very well and help to break things up. It's also nice to see that the developers are seriously thinking about how to innovate the mobile gaming scene, which is often criticized for its vast array of copycats.
Not an Entirely Smooth Battle Plan
Frontline Commando: D-Day includes over 100 missions across five campaigns that represent various operations in the historical Normandy landings. These include Operations Utah, Omaha, Sword, Gold and Juno. Each mission is bite-sized, can be completed in a manner of minutes, and usually includes a couple of optional secondary objectives for those seeking additional challenges.
It might sound like there's a lot of variety to be found, but there's not as much as you would think. Play a few dozen missions, and you will start to notice that a lot of the maps are looking more and more familiar. Once again, your eyes are not deceiving you; the maps are being recycled. The enemy placements may change, your soldier may run to different locations, but the map is the same one you fought on five missions ago.
Not only does it make things repetitive, but it really trashes the historical aspect to the game. It doesn't really feel like you're taking part in any major battles; it feels more like you're just running around a bunch of disconnected shooting galleries with WWII trappings.
It doesn't help that the game not only forces you to shoot up the same maps, but it encourages you to repeat the same missions. In order to unlock campaigns, you need stars. To get stars, you need to complete secondary objectives in the missions. These usually consist of things like scoring headshots or finishing the level in record time. While they can be fun challenges, their presence means that you're only going to notice the recycled maps even more.
Conclusion: Medal Worthy
Don't let the overuse of recycled environments deter you from what is one of the more well-made free to play mobile games on the market right now. Frontline Commando is still a fine title. It's got great shooting action, responsive controls, fantastic graphics, and even a little bit of innovation.
While it clearly wants you to spend money to unlock the more exotic weapons, you can easily lose a ton of hours to this game without spending a cent. If you want to take a good shooting game everywhere with you, then you can't go wrong with Frontline Commando: D-Day.

Game Description
The Most Extreme Surfing Ever
You’re about to take part in the wildest and most dangerous illegal sport ever conceived. Since oceanic surfing, bungee jumping and skateboarding do nothing for you, you’ve come up with something even better: subway surfing!
Run on the train tracks, surf on top of the trains themselves, and keep out of the track inspector’s reach as you defy death over and over again!
If running is too slow for you, then whip out your futuristic hoverboard and show this antiquated technology who’s the boss. Grab coins, get power-ups and prove that you are the most extreme adrenaline junky in the world with Subway Surfers!
A New Way to Ride a Train
With Subway Surfers, you get a fast-paced endless runner with a lot of attitude.

The track inspector is on your tail, so you have to keep moving through this hazard-ridden world.
- Run at high speeds across varied and colorful environments. Pass through canyons, dive into tunnels, cross over bridges, and more.
- Features a highly stylized and cartoony art direction.
- Operate your movement via simple and intuitive touchscreen controls. Swipe to the left and right to bank in those directions, swipe upward to jump, and swipe downward to slide.
- Ride up ramps, avoid oncoming trains, and leap right on top of them with well-timed jumps.
- Play with over a dozen slick and distinct-looking characters.
Power Up Your Run
You may have speed and agility, but sometimes you might need a little more to make it as a successful subway surfer. For that end, just sample some of the power-ups you can find on the tracks and elsewhere. There’s a good variety of stuff out there, and everything can increase the distance you cover when used strategically.

Completing them within the span your run will net you even more goodies and pave the way for even more challenging missions.
- Collect an increasingly greater number of coins in a single run.

The hoverboard in particular does a lot to put it well ahead of the competition in more ways than one.

Subway Surfers Review
- Review by David Galvin
Dave Galvin is a freelance writer and avid gamer. Somehow, he managed to find a way to combine the two passions.
Tried and True
The endless runner has been common in the mobile gaming scene for a while now. Temple Run proved that the formula could be a load of fun, and everybody else has been trying to cash in on its success ever since. Subway Surfers is yet another one of these hopeful contenders. The bad news about is that it doesn't do much to revolutionize the runner.
The good news is that it does not really have to. It takes what works, polishes them to a mirror shine, and throws in some surprisingly good production values to the mix. All of this on top of the fact that it's very generous in dispensing with the in-game currency needed to buy all the fun power-ups, and you have a very worthy contender in the endless running ring.
The Spectacle of Hoverboarding
Subway Surfers has a rather odd theme. You take control of a hoverboarding skater punk and run down the railroad tracks, evading the fat deputy nipping at your heels every step of the way. It may sound like one of those lame attempts to pander to kids in the '90s, but it works surprisingly well and isn't anywhere close to obnoxious as it could have been.
It helps that the visuals are incredibly bright, cartoony and creative; the characters and scenery honestly wouldn't look too out of place in a Pixar film. At the same time, they bring to mind many classic platformers like Sonic Adventure and Psychonauts, which further gives them a more timeless quality.
The music itself harkens back to those kinds of games as well. A catchy and upbeat tune accompanies your subway-surfing endeavors. While you won't be listening to it on your iPod anytime soon, chances are good that you'll be bobbing your head to it long after you've put the game away.
While we're on the audio front, one thing to be especially thankful for is that the developers were wise enough to keep the player characters mostly voiceless. If you're worried about potentially annoying voices breaking your concentration with embarrassing '90s catchphrases, don't be.
Endlessly Running and Hoverboarding
Once you get past the wonderful visuals, things should start to look familiar. Subway Surfers plays like most other endless runners out there; you run endlessly through a hazardous track, avoid obstacles, collect coins, pick up speed, and unleash power-ups to get yourself out of a jam. Every action you can do, like strafing side to side and jumping, is performed by swiping your finger on the screen in the corresponding direction. Controls are very responsive; the skaters practically move along with your finger, helping this game feel especially slick.
While the gameplay is mostly cliché, it does at least add its own little spin on things. The most notable of these is the way that it handles hazards. While most runners make use of things like pits, traps and overhangs, the one thing you really need to watch out for in Subway Surfers are oncoming trains. Trains can be avoided by simply getting out of their way, but it's far more interesting to hop on top of them. Trains add a fun dynamic to the action as they allow for more vertical gameplay. You can jump or strafe from one train and onto another, grab coins and other goodies that are perched on them, and so on.
Power-ups are as fun to activate in this game as they are in others. You've got the usual suspects, like the magnet that draws more coins to you, the jetpack that blasts you forward above all the hazards, and the head start that propels you a good distance right at the beginning.
However, Subway Surfers' most interesting item would be its iconic hoverboard. Breaking this baby out gives you all sorts of perks. You move faster, you jump higher, and best of all, you get a greater degree of control over your movements. You can stay aloft in the air for longer than you could on foot, but you can also just as easily end the jump prematurely and bring your character back down to the ground with a downward swipe. This allows for all sorts of crazy stunts, particularly if you want to get every last coin out there. You'll have to leap into the air to get some loose airborne change, then rocket back down within a second to get the stuff on the earth. It's very hectic and a load of fun to pull off.
A Few Mixed Blessings
If there's one thing that Subway Surfers is lacking that other similar games have, it's tilt controls. Many endless running players have seen their greatest runs end messily due to an unresponsive accelerometer or an accidental shake of the device. If you're one of them, then you might have a chance to rejoice. However, it comes with a price. Subway Surfers unfolds entirely across a straight line. There are no turns to make or corners to avoid.

That itself has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it means that you don't need to worry about blind corners anymore; you'll be able to see everything that can kill you head on. Things are a lot more fair and there's much less guesswork and trial-and-error to consider.
However, it also means that there are no surprises either. Turning a corner in Temple Run can be a tense affair; you just never know what kind of deadly trap could be waiting for you. This kind of suspense will likely be missed by a lot of players.
It's especially exacerbated by the feeling that the path isn't really getting more dangerous the further on you go. Things don't go faster, new traps don't get added, and trains don't become more common. Running for 20 miles straight isn't going to feel like an accomplishment in Subway Surfers; it's just going to take a while.
Overall, Subway Surfers' greatest strength could also be its greatest weakness. On one hand, it's more forgiving and fair to the player. On the other, it's also less challenging than most of its ilk. Whichever side of the fence you lean on is really going to depend on what kind of player you are.

Conclusion:
Despite that issue and its lack of originality, Subways Surfers is still a fun and well-made game. More than that, it's not a demanding one either. It may be free to play. It may give you the option to spend real money to buy upgrades. However, it's only an option, not a requirement. This game never attempts the hard sale on you. Furthermore, it's very generous with the coin payouts; just by simply playing Subway Surfers, collecting coins, and completing challenges, you'll earn more than enough virtual money to spend as you see fit.

With that in mind, you have nothing to lose by just giving Subway Surfers a try. It's sharply-made, it controls like a dream, and it looks absolutely fantastic! There's really little else you could ask for in a mobile game.
