DIY Tactics

The Gaming industry is not just looking into bring back the video games into the smartphones, they have also adopted different methods that will make gamers come back to the app.

Some of the tactics are letting users create their own character, and equipping it with their weapon of choice, in the case of action games.

This method allows players to be part of the experience of the game, and not just using what they are forced to use. Players get to use their weapon of choice depending on the levels. Some gears are not made available to the player unless after reaching a stage in the game, something the gamer would like to accomplish, hence coming back.

Most of these games also allow players have a digital currency to purchase items in the game, this might be a reward, opening the game after 24hrs interval or finishing a particular stage.

Side Challenges

Mobile games have also adopted the tricks of giving its players side challenges from the real story, this sometimes is to keep them a new experience from the story mode challenge they have been playing.

Games like Asphalt 8 from Gameloft have trapped players like myself from going back to enjoy the story mode challenges, sometimes just to have fun with new stages and new cars, to acquire more digital currency for my story mode.
