South Park: Phone Destroyer is a free to play real-time strategy collectible card game developed by RedLynx, and published by Ubisoft. It was released on iOS and Android on November 9, 2017.[1]

Based upon the animated series South Park, South Park: Phone Destroyer follows the children of the small town as they play a game based around different role playing games using different themes (Adventure, Sci-fi, Mystical, Fantasy). The player takes the role of The New Kid as previously introduced in The Stick of Truth.

Gameplay

The game is played with a deck of cards which consist of characters from the South Park television series. Each card costs energy which restores over time. Mechanically, it is similar to Clash Royale.[2] There are different versions of each character which the player can unlock through opening card packs, such as Stan who is dressed as a program from Tron, or Cartman who is either dressed as a sheriff or Awesom-O. Each card has its own special ability and each card has its own unique purpose. Card packs are purchasable by way of in-app purchases. Other gameplay aspects include real-time player versus player battles, a customisable deck editor, which the player can experiment with different card combinations in order to help them progress in the game.

Plot

The kids of South Park argue about a new game for them to play. Cartman, who is dressed as a sheriff, decides the kids should play Cowboys and Indians. The kids initially seem reluctant until Cartman suggests the New Kid can help the Cowboys win the game. Using FaceTime to contact the New Kid, he invites them to come and play by means of using their smartphone which he dubs as a powerful weapon, that can assure their victory. The ending of the game depends on whether the player bought stuff with real money which results in 3 different results to the New Kid's "contributions to the game" (In-App Purchases).

Endings

No Money Spent: The kids are disappointed since they knew that people worked hard on the game. Stan then says that he knew they'd get nothing by making the game a "Freemium" one.

Some Money Spent: Cartman concludes that the money spent is what the New Kid thought it was worth. The kids mull over what they could buy with the money the player spent. Stan then says that they should've charged the players to play the game first like in the old days.

A lot of money spent: The kids are so happy that the player spent a lot on in-app purchases and Kyle says the player should see someone about mobile game addiction.

Release

South Park: Phone Destroyer was announced at the Ubisoft Conference during E3 2017. It was then released worldwide on November 9, 2017. The game was given a soft launch in beta in the following countries, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Brazil, Norway and Sweden.[3] The game received a mixed critical response, earning a score of 67/100 on reviews aggregation website Metacritic.[4]
