AR games are getting lots of attention for good reason. They’re seem to get better and better each time a new one comes out. The devs are figuring out how to push the technology and we all get to play stupidly amazing games.<\/p>\n

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite<\/a> is the king of the hill of AR games, as far as we’re concerned. Forget Pokémon GO, the AR effects here will blow your mind, make you laugh and you’ll run to show it off to everyone you know.<\/p>\n

This game is an outrageously fun and high-quality game that you have to play to appreciate. Whether or not you’re already a Harry Potter fan, and all the better if you are, this game will be on your game rotation for a long time to come.<\/p>\n

Concept and Gameplay:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

As with most great games, the premise is simple, you are a Task Force Volunteer and you’re charged with locating Magical Traces and then returning misplaced things, called Foundables, and also defeating challenges called Confoundables.<\/p>\n

An unknown calamity caused all the Foundables to appear in the Muggle world. Over the course of the game, if you’re successful, you’ll cooperate with witches and wizards to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter where you are when you start, the AR effects take over and the overall quality, from Niantic, Inc.<\/a>, is quite astounding. Of course it helps that this dev is also the creator of Pokémon GO.<\/p>\n

Gameplay is incredible. One of the very cool capabilities in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is that you can actually unite wizards! The realtime multiplayer battles where you cooperate with your buddies is a true differentiator. By teaming up you get to go after harder to find Foundables and compete in some very exciting challenges.<\/p>\n

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite iPhone Game<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sure you can have a great time playing solo but don’t pass up the chance for group action.<\/p>\n

Features:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The big draw for this game is, of course, the AR aspect to the game play. Take it from us, the effect is about the best available. Very well done.<\/p>\n

In addition is the spectacular special AR effects, let’s not forget about gameplay. That’s a major factor here. You’re not just trying to get from point A to point B without dying, you’re also using your noodle to figure out how to make potions, unlocking port keys and make the most of special events from the Ministry.<\/p>\n

Among your challenges is collecting books from the restricted section. It’s not easy but if you pay attention we think you’ll do just fine.<\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is available to download from the App Store for free and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

We like that the IAPs start out at $1.69 (bag of runestones & handful of gold), which is quite reasonable, but we’re not thrilled that they go up as high as $169 (Vault of Gold). Be careful how much you spend to feed your addiction.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on this developer as they get more experience with this and other titles, we can’t wait to see what they’ll do next.<\/p>\n

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite<\/a>\"\"<\/a> requires iOS 10.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPad.<\/em><\/p>\n
