[rwp_box_recap id="0"]

YesGnome's mobile game based on Kingsman: The Secret Service which uses a combination of tap controls and a virtual joystick to take down opponents using stealth and quicktime combat.

The game requires quick reflexes for its surprisingly intense action combat. While the game's story is very reminiscent of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, it isn't a direct adaptation. There are some obvious changes to make the game work as an interactive experience, as well as a mobile one. Much of the dialogue has been simplified and plot points glossed over, but the great thing about this game isn't the story. The gameplay is pretty damn sophisticated for a mobile title, especially one without a AAA budget behind it.

Kingsman: The Secret Service Game's absolute worst feature is the virtual joystick. As always, there's a certain difficulty in using the joystick because of its placement on the screen. It also disappears when you aren't using it, which can make it hard to control. Luckily you don't need it for much more than 2D movement, so there isn't much trouble. It can make some of the quicktime bullet dodging mechanics a bit difficult, however.

Overall, Kingsman: The Secret Service Game is a pretty solid mobile game, it's stable, relatively intuitive, and well put-together. It makes a solid argument for a mobile title's ability to be more than just a limited use PvP portal or micro-transaction machine.
