Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is simply brutal and one of the best of 2019

Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is a new game from RovioTo tell the truth, we hoped it wasn't a big deal. We say it because lately he has only released tic-tac-toe KING games. But this time it brings us a totally innovative game that takes augmented reality gaming to another level.

And we don't say it because of the idea, which is great, but for the great way of taking it to the technical and thus converting any flat surface in the best gaming space you could have thought of thanks to your mobile, augmented reality and this new game from Rovio. So yes.

This is really Augmented Reality

Pokémon GO was one of the first games that put Augmented Reality in the trigger, but we can almost say that even this Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs, and soon after Minecraft Earth is a reality, when the AR has made a qualitative leap to show us the way through which many games have to go that will be inspired by this one by Rovio. We don't even want to imagine a multiplayer like that.

Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs is quite a feat when it comes to Augmented Reality. We are talking about the fact that you will be able to use any surface so that the game is "generated" in Augmented Reality, always thanks to the help of your phone's camera.

The first thing we will do will choose the playing area to point with it with the camera. And the most surprising thing, as long as we have enough light, the game will be generated quickly so that we can see the game properly on the floor of our house or on any table; In this case, you can see the screenshots we have taken so that you can simply flip it with the augmented reality of this Rovio game.

Choose the playing surface of your house or wherever, and play!

When you have established the play area, you will see how the level you are going to play is there still to be clicked, touched and enjoyed. To give you a better idea, the game will take place in that specific area. You can turn around it, go back so that you can see it from a distance or even stand up to see another perspective of the level.

And this is where it also leaves us very surprised. Because practically we have more than 40 levels of Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs on a table, in the park or just on the ground. We will move with our slingshot so that one of the «pigs» from Angry Birds is positioned like the Chinese to shoot in order to hit the light and weak platforms on which the pigs are to be thrown.

It goes to be an experience that you move to point and choose thus the best perspective to hit the exact spot. And we say it again, the feeling of moving around the level generated in Augmented Reality is going to be totally real so that you can enjoy as dwarves with colleagues, friends, family, partner ... It is incredible what Rovio has done with this game.

All object physics in Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs

And it is not lacking in innovation with Augmented Reality, nor is it lacking that object physics that made Angry Birds so famous. That is, a game will be generated as you can have in all Angry Birds. With those funny moments in which everyone falls, or in other moments in which it seems that in the end you have not done well, but the structure does fall. And all seasoned with the ability to adapt the size of the game to the space you are in, which provides an experience like no other game.

Technically it is a fable game and you are going to need a good machine. You have to give augmented reality time, so if you go with a 3-year-old gadget, don't expect magic. An Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs that takes Augmented Reality to another level and is not lacking in great eye-catching graphics, character design, great object physics and everything that has made Angry famous Birds. Let's say have created a unique experience at the highest levels.

Angry Birds AR: Isle of Pigs arrives without much hype, but we can almost tell which is placed before one of the best games of the year. Almost the most innovative, and we already have similar Augmented Reality experiences, but it is Rovio that has been able to define it so that you can enjoy like never before with your mobile; Yes, prepare the battery, because you will be all the time pulling the camera app and the resources to generate the graphics, gameplay ... A great game and finally we can say that Rovio brings something very different from what the latter has been doing years. A real gem.
