Despite seeming for all the world like a cheap Angry Birds clone by facing off bloodthirsty pigs and avians, Raging Pigs is in a genre of weird game crud all its own.
Despite being published under a brand closely associated with casual and board games, Raging Pigs is more of an old-school arcade game trapped in the shell of imitative casual game art. The mechanics are valid and the myriad levels are playable, but I didn't find it very fun to play, even with the incentive of cumulative egg collection based on performance for each level.
Sam's Protip: Dragging boxes in this game, despite being a fundamental mechanic, is usually more trouble than it's worth. Unless you're dragging one over the top of your head to end things quickly, which I can understand.
Pros
- Fans of old-school arcade games may find this intriguing
- Items provide a dose of much-needed variety, although you have to figure them out yourself
Cons
- Instant death and slow gameplay are a fun-killing combo
- Ever-present instructions at the screen base are a waste of space
