Despite its many controversies, South Park remains a funny and strong series that often manages to provide a refreshing satire of contemporary issues. Not only ago, the series had ventured out into video game territory, and one of its entries is South Park: Phone Destroyer.

From its early hours, Phone Destroyer was able to entertain me, with it being able to capture, not only the humor of the series but as well as its unique art style. It's a shame though that aside from its presentation, the game has little to no other redeeming qualities.

The gameplay, while starting easily enough, gets progressively difficult the longer that you play, almost to the point of unwinnable during its middle point. The only way to remedy this seems to hinge on luck or resorting to buying the game's microtransactions using real-world money - an aspect that considerably dampened my interest in the game.

And its a shame because the game had the potential and had a somewhat interesting to story. Too bad, the game is riddled with your typical greedy mobile game predatory tactics. This is disheartening, as it detracts from what could have been a more fulfilling game.
