The Positive and Negative Impacts of Ludo Star

By Nayab Amin

The thriving world of ludo star game gained global fame after its launch owing to its unique feature of portability that allows users to play the game at a time of convenience virtually. When they are bored, they just take their phone out and can play their favorite childhood game with people from diverse cultures from all around the world. You can even play this game offline with a robot if there is no internet connection.

The most interesting aspect of this game to me is the eye catching colorful yet usable interface, the aesthetics and overall user experience. The game graphic design and token animations are visually appealing as compared to the board game. You can easily add people of your choice or the auto game choice. There are different modes of the game, where you can play with 4 players, in teams or one-to-one. Some people may appreciate your moves while others may not. Its fun to have chatting with diverse people remotely while playing the game.

Looking at the negative impacts of the game, it is highly addictive when you get that sense of achievement after winning the game and thus you keep the dice rolling! This feeling of accomplishment and the levels keeps us engrossed.

Moreover, when we are playing board game, we can express our emotions physically. But while playing it digitally on a phone, and especially at times when you are losing the game one might get frustrated and may resort to aggressive behavior abuse fellow players in the chat boxes. Moreover, the cover of anonymity gives people the margin to abuse, ridicule other fellow players.

As fun this game is this should be played in moderation, and one should ideally spend some physical activities or exercise that may strengthen your immune system and keeps us healthy.  Excessive usage of mobile games and screen time also results in impacting our eye sights.

There are pros and cons of everything, be that online games or even physical games. It depends on how you use a certain entertainment channel. It is wise to limit our screentime and take this game as a form of recreation. One has to strike a balance between our personal lives and spend quality time with family and friends.
