Honestly it kinda reminds me of blizzard games back in the day.
Folks remember the StarCraft adverts and cutscenes? Not remotely like the game.
I wonder why we gave them a pass. Probably because the game was still fun, I guess

It's like back in the 80s, when games had amazing hand-drawn covers and then the graphics was just text or simple shapes, but now with gameplay.
Those AD&D Dragonlance games from the 90s had such killer box art lol, especially for the time!
Cover of the first one:
Game graphics:
That was different though. Nobody was expecting such graphics back then.
And in that specific instance the box art is just trying to match the kind of art you'd find on D&D book covers of the time
The art you'd find in d&d books at the time:
And then there was MegaMan's cover.
And then we have great games, like Stardew Valley on android. But they are very few and far between this endless deluge of slop.
And almost none of them were made for Android; they're ports of actual games.
It's a shame because there's quite a few games with big potential that could be just small fun game you pullout in the waiting room but then is riddled with ads and micro transactions and the cheapest engaging stuff they could make.
I'mma be real the ad doesnt look too fun either.
What's the difference between the adv and the game
Adv stands for advertisement (no idea why they didn't just say "the ad".)
The difference is the higher graphics quality and the more interesting game mechanics in the ads which often are seriously lacking in the actual game.
