Edited by Grimm, Crystal, Eng, Jen M
You're watching VisiHow. Today we're going to show you how to start playing the NOVA 3 game on your Samsung Galaxy S5, S5 Mini, or S5 Dual SIM. Earlier, we discussed how to download and install the game and get things set up, including modifying controls and changing the settings to suit your preferences. If you need assistance with those, please make sure you check that out.
Steps
- 1What we're going to do now is tap on Campaign.
- 2You can see here it tells us the location of the campaign, what the climate is like and what alliance it is. In this case, the location is Old Earth, the climate is Dead Planet, and the alliance is N.O.V.A Troops.One tap on Campaign will allow us to start a campaign mission.
- 3Tap on Continue.
- 4You will hear a voice over as someone speaks and chats the text. Bear in mind this game is one of the top games available for the Android platform currently. It has cutting edge graphics and game-play, it also features full multiplayer capabilities, and it is described by many as the equivalent of a PS3 game.Tapping Continue is going to bring up the loading screen.
- 5You can see here at the bottom there's text indication we should tap the screen to start so let's tap the screen.
- 6We have our NOVA fellow flying in.Once we've tapped the screen we're going to get a little bit of voice-over.
- 7Our space pilot has crashed and jumped out of his spaceship, and he's alone.
- 8It's showing us that we have to tap the glowing button to shoot.
- 9Tap to shoot every time there is an enemy and continue running because you're trying to escape the bad guys.
- 10It's telling us to tap the special button to use selected ability.
- 11Here it's telling us to slide around on the screen to rotate the camera.
- 12We can tap our blue box to reload.
- 13It's also showing us what button to tap to jump out of the window and slide down the building, super ninja style.
- 14We can run using the V-Pad on the bottom left.When your crosshairs are green, it indicates that those are good guys.
- 15They're going to ask you to provide suppressive fire, so you'll want to do that. Bear in mind, this is a high action game. This is NOT something you can play while you're driving or sitting in traffic or even in between meetings. It is an actual real game, and it will drain the battery of your phone relatively quickly. However, if you enjoy this type of game, it is exceptional. It is one of the best games available on any Android phone currently on the market, provided of course that you're into sci-fi shooter games.Run forward and join your friends.
- 16When you're ready, tap the arrows to continue.
- 17Run up to some cover and shoot. It also tells you what button to push to throw a grenade.Now you're going to want to get the bad guys!
- 18There are guys continuously jumping off the roof behind you. You can continue running forward if you'd like to, however, due to the limitations, you can only run so far. Pressing and holding the Shoot button allows you to provide a continuous burst of fire. You can turn when someone is shooting, which will be indicated by the red marks on the screen.The objective here is to continue providing suppressive fire.
- 19As I like to do in all of my tutorials, I've died, which is fine.
- 20Some of you may have trouble trying to figure out what to do to get rid of the advertisement; however, there's a very tiny red X in the top right corner of your screen. Tap that tiny red X.When you die you'll be presented with an advertisement.
- 21I'm going to go back to the main menu because death in these games is always my excuse to take you back and show you any additional tips or tricks you may need to know.Here we can retry or go back to the main menu.
- 22Once we're on the main menu, we're going to tap on the multiplayer icon so that I can show you how that works too.Now it will reload back to our main menu.
- 23Now you can do a local WiFi match with your friends, or you can do an online match.
- 24If you choose to do an online match it is going to ask you whether you want to be a new player or use your live account.
- 25If you're going to do a local WiFi match, it's going to ask if you want to create it or join it.
- 26You can also go into the armory where you can change and choose different options for your character.
- 27If you'd like, you can tap the reset button to set things back in the event you have made changes you're unhappy with. When you're satisfied with it, you can tap the back button.Tapping on your character will let you choose which color character you would like to have.
- 28As you proceed through the game you'll unlock more weapons.You can choose your primary and secondary weapons from a number of set weapons.
- 29Again, as you proceed through the game you'll unlock more weapons. You'll notice that each weapon has a list at the bottom. If we tap our primary weapon we can see that it's a relatively all around weapon. It does a lot of damage, it's fairly accurate, it fires very quickly, has good range and good mobility.You can do the same thing with your primary weapons.
- 30The next weapon you could choose in the list does extreme damage, however, it have a very low fire rate, but it also has very good range.
- 31There's another weapon that offers a lot of mobility and decent damage but has very low range.
- 32Another weapon with extremely low fire rate but a very dangerous weapon, the sniper rifle, I'm sure you're all familiar with that.
- 33Now we're going to tap back.You can also choose one of the super weapons, the railgun, which is a good all around weapon which does a lot of damage.
- 34If you join, you're simply going to look for your network. If you create one, you're going to be given a number of options. It can be a free-for-all, or you can have specific mission types, team deathmatch, freeze tag, capture the flag, capture the point, instagib, team instagib, and back to the free-for-all. You can change the timer. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, no limit. Kill limit of 15, 30, 50, 100 or 0. How many players you'd like to have, from 2 to 12.Again, we can either create or join a local WiFi game.
- 35You can have a weapons set, aim assist, auto balance and killchains.We can also go into the advanced settings.
- 36Once you've selected what you want you can tap continue.
- 37Your friends can join the game, and it is that simple.It's a last stand free-for-all and now it's loading up a local game over our WiFi.
- 38If you'd like to join me, you're more than welcome to. Just leave a comment in the section below and we'll see if your skills are as good as mine.As you can see, the game is waiting for other players to join but I have no other players at the moment since I'm all alone recording how-to videos.
- 39Thank you for choosing VisiHow. Please leave your questions and comments in the section below. Have a great day.This concludes our tutorial on how to get started and actually play NOVA 3 for the Samsung Galaxy S5.
