Bug fixes and improvements. Thanks for playing!
This game has a ton of potential and brings a high level of excitement. However that potential and excitement is quickly tempered by gameplay hiccups that on the surface may seem petty. But those hiccups very quickly become major issues. What I am referring to is the bat or paddle as some may know. Like many games out there in the gaming world, a player is rewarded for their effort as the progress thru the various levels. This is no different. The game teaches the basics of proper gameplay and gradually becomes more difficult as you progress thru various levels. When you win a match you are rewarded with experience points which opens different games and practices. The more you play the better you become. But you will learn very quickly that the bat you play with is NOT going to help you much beyond the practice lvls. You will need to take time to practice the various returns, serves etc. This is where the type of bat comes in. Some are good for sheer speed, others for control and spin. But this isn’t easy to find. I earned several “upgraded” bats with high spin and control. The problem was that I had absolutely no idea how to use them. Finding where I could switch the bats took some time. That is the major issue. I would like an easier menu to navigate so I don’t have to spend so much time looking for the bat I wish to use. Don’t be fooled by the skins either... they do NOTHING for your overall control and spin. They are nothing more than flash.
Firstly, I don’t think that Ping Pong Fury really improved upon what it’s predecessor, Table Tennis from Yakutia, built up. Excluding the UI and graphics, I honestly preferred the former. The “Ping Pong Pass” is nowhere near the value of $5. A couple pods and some tacky skins? I don’t think it’s worth it. Next, some of the cosmetics and graphics within the game are downright uncompetitive. For example, the Chicken blade skin has two ping-pong ball sized eyes that make it excruciating the play against. It’s almost unfair that an opponent can use such a broken skin. In addition, the table in Tokyo needs a redesign. I’m not sure if it is based off of a real life design, but the white table-white ball combo makes no sense. At least add some red to the table? Or make the ball red in Tokyo? The bots in the game are so boring, and they usually have an overpowered bag so that their spin makes up for the boring gameplay. Overall, it’s a fun game. Download it if you enjoy ping pong and good graphics.
The game play is fun the “online” component only works on local WiFi so it’s not online which is the main reason I downloaded the game the real reason the game is so frustrating sometimes when you try to hit the ball it sometimes just fazed through the paddle and this is extremely present in the more skilled opponents in a quick play match vs more of the more highly skilled opponents the game used to be 5$ which is an absurd price for such an unpolished game but making the game free was a good change the story/career mode is boring after the first few tournaments I’ve read a couple of the reviews for the game and they made it so it was less skilled base which is fair enough but the game is so brutal with its first couple of tournaments you have to go through a practice stage before every tournament which is fair enough but after the first stage or club section the game really steps up and starts to punish you with the horrible controls the serving is a horrible process where you barely ever can hit an advanced serve and if you miss no second tries to attempt to correct the horrible mechanics the game is just flat out unpolished
The game plays fun, but I’ve noticed that no mater how hard I try, I can never hit it out of the table. I’ve been trying to commit an error on purpose to test this out, and the ball always stays in play. Which means that the player doesn’t really have full control over the direction of the ball. It’s only about timely hitting. That’s somewhat unsatisfying. Especially since the super realistic graphics imply that the game will be realistic to play. I play actual ping pong, and players, especially beginners, have a hard time keeping the ball in play. They either hit the net, or miss the table. Neither of these ever happens in this game. I assume that’s done on purpose to make the gameplay suitable for more people, but it would be nice to be able to switch to a more realistic mode, in which you have more actual control, even though it will be more difficult to learn that control. But, despite this, it’s still a fun, and a great looking, game.
I enjoyed the game but with the following tweaks I would be actively recommending it. When playing this game I want: - to be able to choose my bat for every exercise, not just some. This frustrated me. - more variety in opponents playing styles. Skill and stamina aren’t enough, I’d like to see more variability in offense, defense, spin, etc, so I really have to adapt to new opponents. - the ability to spend my reputation (or match winnings) on bat upgrades. - visuals and stories for my opponents. I like building a narrative in my head when playing. - a secret bonus level after the world champs. Would add some needed mystique to the game. - controls that increase my likelihood of hitting the ball when it’s loving fast. Like other reviews I also felt like the ball passed by when I was certain my finger was in the right place, but I think it’s because when the ball is going fast you need lots of precision. This is frustrating, not challenging. Instead, if my shot isn’t quite perfect at high speed I should still be able to hit the ball, but my accuracy or speed of return should suffer. Give the game these tweaks and you’ll be on to an all-time winner. It’s so close! Thanks for your good work and attention to detail.
This is the most fun ping pong game I have ever played in my life. I LOVE how this game doesn’t have any ads unless you want to watch an ad for the booster item which makes you hit faster. I also love how there is a mode for career which is really fun and I LOVE wif waf. When I first started the game, wif waf helped me out a lot and I also love how there is a training mode where wif waf trains you to make you better. Last and and my personal favorite is the quick game. Quick game has you play a lot of different bots from a variety of different difficulties and I love making myself better in that area. Again this is the best ping pong game ever and I HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who is reading this right now.
They can make the computer you play 100 percent impossible to score on so when you play someone best of 3 the same guy you can score and win on the next game they make the computer perfect and impossible. The shots that are good enough become not good enough. It’s hard to explain but it takes the fun out when you know that the computer is set to impossible. This could easily be fixed just make it consistent the bit that plays in game 1 of 3 be the same every game you play in the series. Now game 1 is the only game you have a chance at game 2&3 it’s impossible the bot literally teleports no matter where or how fast you can put the ball. I know it’s the way you want the game to play out but after the 100th time it made me delete the app without ever spending a dime a little better and not rigged ida spent some probably.
I want to love this game, I really do. Graphics are terrific, could have a story of some kind for career but that is the small stuff. What kills this game for me is that once you are past initial tournament it turns into a spin dominated game and trying to do anything but put spin or counter spin on a shot is a complete waste of time and leads to a loss and failure. I played tournaments in my youth and not every player out there can spin like a world champion but you wouldn’t know that in this game. It just gets way to boring to rally until you accidentally swipe to low and lose the screen on iPad or another glitch is paddle sticks in place or the opponent hits in the net on and easy return after a long boring rally like even the computer ai got bored. There are lots of different play styles out there but obviously the developers are fans of spin, spin, spin.

I suck at table tennis. Like, it's embarrassing. I'm alright at serving, and I can usually return, but if anyone smashes at all or puts any...
