Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville for MOBILE DEVICES?! but...📱

This time, I will tell you about something random about me with Plants vs. Zombies stuffs, but not from any of my assets anyway... Even though I don't have any console or at least powerful gaming PC/laptop to play any Plants vs. Zombies shooter games (Garden Warfare, Garden Warfare 2, and Battle for Neighborville), but I came across something about one of them that was being ported into mobile devices. Not those two Garden Warfare series, but Battle for Neighborville. Yes, I do watch any of those gameplay videos of this particular Plants vs. Zombies shooter game on YouTube by various gamers out there (IULITM, ZERO X FUSIONZ, Redhead Gaming, Twothless, ZackScottGames, etc.), although I don't seem to watch them quite often, unlike Garden Warfare series, which I always them for almost everyday. Until at someday, I found a wild video that wasn't a gameplay of it, but rather something that leads to the link that contained the aforementioned Plants vs. Zombies shooter game that was being ported wildly into mobile devices, instead of the ones that they officially released already on few ports like Xbox One/Series X, PS4/PS5 (I think), PC, or Nintendo Switch (as of this month). So, here are my short stories about me encountered it, right away.

1. When I discovered the site of it...📱

Right after I opened the link that leads to it, I was surprised about the site itself. It was sort of legit website, although the English grammar on it was a little dodgy. The site that contained them also boasted bunch of features that claimed if it also run as good as those official ports of the aforementioned Plants vs. Zombies shooter game itself (Xbox One/Series X, PS4/PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch [as of this month]). There were no words that I could say to it, until I downloaded the app file (.apk) to it into my phone... Until the thing that caused me didn't bother to continue playing it straight from the beginning.

2. When I downloaded the app itself...📱

The size of the app itself is approximately about 126 MB. Although it took few minutes to download it, it did download it just well, yet it also showed the Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville logo on it too. Again, everything about it was fine during the installation of it to my phone, but again... Something that caused me didn't bother to continue playing it straight from the beginning.

3. When I tried to play it... I said that, because...📱

Okay, here's the main point about why I said so in this section... While I tried to play it, it did open the app just fine, showing the 2019 copyright of the game itself. Then, in the loading screen, it showed up some Weeds attacking some basic zombies (instead of others like an AI Kernel Corn attacking an AI Foot Soldier 1v1, or even a throwback from main Plants vs. Zombies games being interpreted into this game). Obviously there's the "Tap to start" instead of "Press the button" command on that loading screen, because this is the wild mobile phone port version of this particular Plants vs. Zombies shooter game. Until... Bah! I had to do some complicated human verification process thing in order to play it by doing 2 objectives that obviously wouldn't work in my country anyway. So, here are 2 objectives that the app said in order to play it:

1. Downloading a Lords Mobile game, then I had to open it for least 30 seconds. It was kind of passable, but I just simply didn't bother to do it.
2. Now, here is my most impossible objective that I had to do, which was some sort of tinkering with Coin Master by doing sending some weird SMS into random foreign phone numbers that I couldn't recognize them at all. WHICH of course, it wouldn't send ANY of them due to it obviously wouldn't work for ANY phone numbers outside my country... What a waste of my phone's quota! F***

So, there you have it about why I obviously didn't play the mobile device port of Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. Due to those two objectives of verification thing that looks and sounds way too complicated, that's a big reason about why. Imagine if the verification itself wasn't too complicated like that, I would be easier to play it right off the bat... Which means, I simply keep watching any of those gameplay videos about those Plants vs. Zombies shooter games on YouTube instead, including Garden Warfare series too...

Oh, this also reminds me to those good old days where there were lot of fake Plants vs. Zombies 2 apps being listed on Google Play. It was occurred back in somewhere in very late of 2013 until 2014. Although most of them had different guts in each of the fake apps there, such as typical objectives that were actually some sort of malware (for instance, suddenly installed a wild SystemUI), or even a poor man's original Plants vs. Zombies game, from what I discovered them back in those days with my bad Android devices that I used to have... Anyway, that's it for what I can say about this wild port about one of those Plants vs. Zombies shooter games that I couldn't even get it to play at all due to those two freaking complicated verification things there, and thanks for reading this post.
