Way back in February, fellow writer Graydon wrote about Golf Blitz. I’m not one to play many games on my phone, but seeing the traffic come in steady over the following months not to mention the general praise from Graydon, I decided to give it a try. Thankful that I did.
Golf Blitz is goofy fun. While it suffers from the typical transaction trappings of mobile with gems and cash to buy, none of that detracts from the enjoyment. Card packs providing said currency and new golfers/hats/powerups are easy to earn. Because of this, poking around for five or ten minutes at a time is enough to satisfy players.
The customizable options are plenty and as lighthearted as the gameplay. Golfer skins and hats range from recognizable video game characters to scarecrows or Frankenstein’s monster. It doesn’t stop there though since unlockable ball types provide assistance or troublemaking in the game. A grenade can cause your ball to explode and launch an opponents ball into the ether for instance. If you need a better angle, a sticky ball will have your ball stop where it lands whether it by the hole or on the wall or ceiling.
Both the level design and ball options makes each moment of playing Golf Blitz thrilling, aggravating, and hilarious. The number of times I found myself at the hole first mere inches away only to come in last due to some shenanigans is all too common. The way it happens though usually leaves me with a smile on my face though because I know that at the same time, I’ll make things as difficult as possible for others too if the scenario was reversed.
The levels are also varied enough to keep things fresh. Some levels have moving parts requiring timing for the best result, some are very small islands where misjudging the angle results in falling into space, or levels with portals that have you keep an eye on where it will come out. I know more will be rolling out the further I get, and I look forward to see what’s to come.
Golf Blitz will not be leaving my phone anytime soon. I get a kick out of playing it every single and there is always a thousand or two at any time available at any given moment. Being able to play a quick round or two is all it takes to satisfy that itch. If you haven’t tried it yet, might give it a shot.
