Different Game Play Modes Available in Ludo King

There are various ways and modes through which you can play the game. No, you do not have to play the game alone, as you are open to different options. Some of the game modes that are available on the application are mentioned below.

Play with AI

The Versus Computer mode of the game allows you to display your board game skills as you compete with the computer. You can choose the vs. computer mode to enable you to play with the computer. You can play in the two-player mode or in the four-player game mode. The computer software is designed to play according to your style. My favorite part of the versus computer mode is when you do not even need an internet connection to play the game. You can play offline on your Android or iOS devices. 

Local Multiplayer Game Mode

Apart from the versus computer game mode, you still have more options. You can choose to play with family and friends around you. All you need to do is select the local multiplayer option and invite a few of your friends or family members. You can either get two or four players for this mode. When you all are complete, you can play the game by passing the mobile phone around the players. Once each player plays his/her turn, they pass it on to the next player. This game mode is quite similar to the physical board game. You also do not need an internet connection to play in this mode. You can play offline on your mobile phone and still enjoy the benefits and thrills of playing with others. When I play in this mode, it feels like I’m back to my childhood days, playing board games with my friends and loved ones. 

Multiplayer Mode (online)

Ludo King also has an online multiplayer mode that allows you to play with other players of the game from any part of the world. When you choose this mode, you will be redirected to an online server where you can connect with and play with other players who are willing to play the online video as well. This mode is thrilling because you get to play with total strangers who are probably just as good as you or even better. To play in this mode, however, you need an internet connection and people who are willing to play the online way at that particular time. This is because the game is played in real-time. 

The Play with Friends Game Mode (Also Online)

Another option to play Ludo King online is through the ‘play with friends’  mode that allows you to invite your online friends to play the game with you. You can invite your friends through different social media platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp. In this mode, you get to create a private room where you can invite a maximum of four friends at a time to join you in the game. Just like the online multiplayer mode, the play with friends mode also needs an internet connection. This mode cannot be played automatically as your friends will also have to accept the invitation if you must play in this mode. 

Game Features of Ludo King

The latest features added to the game include new themes, which include nature, Egyptian, pinball, candy, battle, Christmas, and many other game themes. The snakes and ladders game also has different ballgame variations you could choose from. You can interact with other online players of the game by initiating a quick voice chat session, send emojis to express your emotions to other players while playing, you can also have private chats with other players in game. The second game, Snakes and Ladders, also has some great features, and more features were included in the latest version.

Although the games (both ludo and snakes and ladders) are available for free download, you may have to make some in-app purchases if you intend to advance quickly to become the ludo king. This is because the system makes it difficult to advance past certain stages without making some purchases.

Verdict

Ludo King is an interesting board game that engages its players. The game also gives players the opportunity to interact with, socialize and make friends with other players around the world. The rules of the games are pretty simple. The rules and regulations of ludo and snakes and ladders physical games also apply to Ludo King. It has a straightforward user interface, and the game software is relatively easy to play and navigate. 

However, there are some notable disadvantages to the game. First of all, even though the game is free, you must make some in-app purchases that are considerably expensive. Secondly, players’ phones usually heat up very quickly when using the app, which may be an inconvenience.
