Title: Unexpected Gem – A Must-Try Mobile Game! Review: I'm typically a PC gamer, but stumbling upon this mobile game was a delightful surprise. After trying the free version and enjoying one level, I decided to invest in the ad-free experience, and it turned out to be the best $3.50 I've ever spent! The game's difficulty adds to the thrill, and after just a few runs, I managed to conquer it using the deer character. The build I had going was super fun but also incredibly overpowered. I had a super point blank shotgun I got after a boss. I took a upgrade that made me bigger which usually wouldn’t be favorable. However, when you transform into the deer you become invincible and deal 100 dmg(which is a lot!). It also gave me additional speed which I had synergizing with a few other abilities. This game is amazing! One aspect I appreciate is the fair pace at which unlock points are earned. It strikes a nice balance, making the progression feel rewarding without being overly challenging. The game offers a plethora of characters and guns to explore, keeping the replayability factor high. I've had an absolute blast diving into the various options and finding unique combinations. Overall, this mobile game has become a go-to source of entertainment, and I highly recommend it to fellow gamers looking for a fresh and engaging experience!

It’s genuinely difficult to find a game with this much love and effort put behind it. The mechanics are well made for the most part and you can unlock nearly everything for free. That said, there’s a few things that I feel weren’t done quite right from a player perspective. First, locking unlocks behind ads, when it’s just one or two I don’t mind and have gladly watched a couple to check something out. However, almost no one wants to sit down and watch 20 ads just for a single unlock, especially if it doesn’t count towards other unlocks that require you to watch ads. Now, in terms of gameplay the game is mostly well balanced. That said, the boss health scaling in Endless is insane. By the time I’m 10 minutes into a run it’s basically a necessity to have % damage in order to kill it before the next boss spawns. On top of this scaling, bosses begin to spawn with resistances, which paired with the scaling makes it near impossible to kill bosses before another stronger one appears. Other than those two things I have no problems with the game and have been enjoying it so far, even with the absurd health scaling in endless so I can’t really bring myself to lower to 4 stars just because of those.

The game itself is really solid. Level up mechanics are great and leads to a different experience each time you play the game. Every character is fun, and I got every achievement in the free version before I decided to buy the full version. But, the most fun character is the first one you get. This is solely due to the triple level up effect buff that she gets. It gives the player the most choice and allows for some crazy stuff fun shenanigans that you can experiment with in each new run. It alone accounts for the most replay ability value. This is why this buff should be available for every character in some way. Make it a random drop that, or add a new mini boss that could drop it for any character. Add a new difficulty that makes the addition balanced. The triple, or even just a double, effect makes each game far more chaotic (in a good way), and this would make an endless mode (which should be added irrespective of this review) even more fun. Also wish there was a level 20 darkness. since the game itself is called 20 minutes till dawn it’s kinda weird the hardest difficulty is 15 and not 20.Despite my gripes, the game already has hours upon hours of fun content to get lost in. Appreciated the Christmas monster costumes too, love Easter eggs like that. Really great game and look forward to updates to come.

The game is fantastic. Plain and simple. It’s easy enough to get the hang of, but not easy to master. It’s simple, but not bland. All of the characters can be unlocked PERMANENTLY with ads or tokens that you earn by playing. All of the weapons can be unlocked PERMANENTLY with ads or tokens. Many cosmetics are available for watching x# of ads. There are multiple maps. My main complaint is the low contrast. With all of the effects happening on the screen, it can get difficult to tell where I am and what’s going on. I do wish there was a “color swap” option (or additional palettes in the store!) to accomplish players with less-than-stellar eyesight and low vision disabilities (if there’s already an option, obviously I missed it). But other than that, the game is phenomenal. Genuinely one of the best games I’ve played this year. Unique, fun, and something I’ll be keeping on my phone for a while.
