‘Pocket Mortys’ Updated With Online Multiplayer, New Dimensions and Much More

TouchArcade Rating:

With the announcement that Season 3 of Rick and Morty is sfinally launching at the end of July, it’s certainly an exciting time to be a fan of Adult Swim’s cult sci-fi cartoon. However, this reveal has left many wondering whether Pocket Mortys (Free), the excellent Pokemon-esque spin off that we loved in our review last year, would receive any attention now the Rick and Morty hype train is truly leaving the station. Off the back of an Android beta test in May, the developers have finally released a major 2.0 update for Pocket Mortys today, with the addition of a brand new online multiplayer mode so you can finally determine whether you have the Mortiest Morty in the multiverse.

As well as online multiplayer, which will let you battle both friends and strangers alike, the developers have included some other neat features in this newest update that should give any fans of the game yet another reason to revisit Pocket Mortys. Five more dimensions have been included, and you can now play as other characters such as Tinkles, Summer and Squanchy for an even squanchier Morty battling experience. The ability to gift friends Mortys may make Pokemon trading comparisons even more apt, however will mean collecting ’em all is even easier for any die-hard Morty completionists. Multiplayer is obviously the highlight of this 2.0 update, however I’m still incredibly impressed to see such a major spin-off game receive major updates almost eighteen months after it first released. Download the new update for Pocket Mortys today, and let us know your impressions of the online multiplayer on our forum thread.

      Because kids were falling asleep in class, etc., Tencent set a time limit of an hour a day for kids 12 and under with a cutoff play time of 9pm and two hour limit for kids 12-18 with no cutoff. Pretty crazy.

      1. Gamera Love

        because kids over 12 should have more responsible already.

    2. Airpegy

      For me mobile legend is the best

      1. Firedog5698

        I prefer honor of kings tbh. Plus batman is already my favorite hero in general, so the fact he's in this game is a plus for me

      I think this kind of games should be banned due to the real destructive addiction risk it poses to kids.

        Sugar can be addictive and unhealthy. You can't protect people from every bad decision.

      Eng version this game is Strike of Kings, available in turkish appstore

    5. Peter Kellstrand

      About freaking time. This game has taken forever to come to the States. Ha ha. It's actually going to be released as "Strike of Kings" for any countries with English as its primary language as far as I know.

      1. OutdatedGamer

        If their surveys are anything to go by, it looks like they'll be changing the name to "Arena of Champions".

      I teach English in China. Many kids are so completely immersed in their schoolwork that the ONLY free activity they have are phone games. The "addiction" part is a bit deceptive. Many kids go to school seven days a week. They have regular school, but then they go to extra schools. Private schools. Their "free time" is the time between classes, or spent commuting (gaming on the bus, subway, or in mom's car).

      If you're imagining some obese shut-in slacking off at life playing phone games all day, that's not who these kids are. Their commitment to study is almost superhuman. Heroic even.

      Another thing is many businesses in China are just dead man walking. Shops that get zero business, but some lonely, clueless soul shows up to man the register on the highly unlikely chance that someone shows up to buy something. These workers pass their day playing phone games.

      Anyway, the phone addiction thing is more complex than it appears.

        Just from what I've seen, is "phone etiquette" different over there? Like, there doesn't seem to be a stigma with being on your phone all the time. At least here, the friend with their face in their phone will get some joking comments and will even be apologetic.

        1. Chowderbatter

          Phone etiquette is highly evolved for the highly evolved and not highly evolved for the not highly evolved. Same as in the states or other places. So people who are educated, polite pretty much do the same things we do in the west. Like go outside to take a call, or don't use their phone when talking to friends. But some people are rude just like in other countries. One thing is that many people here eschew headphones and will play videos on full volume in coffee shops, restaurants, or other public places. Most people don't do that, but the ones who do really stand out. I've had people watch videos on their phones at full volume standing next to me in an elevator. Generally though, using phones in all situations is much more common here. People use phones while driving or riding motorscooters or cycling on the sidewalk. Much more permissive, and dangerous. Cops won't do shit, because they're on their damn phones too!

          There are boundaries though. It sounds like a lawless, crazy place, but most people are respectful and considerate.

    8. Modjular

      It's just interesting that the government there is taking steps to control it. The whole concept of games on your phone is so new that any steps they take will probably seem new or radical.

      If it is called strike of kings... then it's available in U.K. Already :)
