Pixel and Texel's "Fara" is just one week away! You know what that means: it's time to whip out our interview with Andrew Strickland, one half of the dynamic duo behind this Action RPG. What's his advice for running a Kickstarter campaign? What are his expert coffee recommendations? Find the answers to these, and other critical questions, inside!
"Danger Alliance: Battles" clearly illustrates the potential of the Turn-Based Strategy genre on iOS, proving that strategic depth can go hand in hand with a rock solid interface. Those concerned about the content-to-price ratio may very well be surprised by how long this one keeps their attention, thanks to skillful deployment of its limited assets.
If you had asked me a week ago whether I'd ever give a rail shooter a perfect score during my game reviewing career, I would have said not to bet on it -- a game in this genre has to do a lot to make up for the player's lack of exploratory freedom, after all, and I'd played very few that managed such a feat. Then "Battle Group" came along.
As far as free-to-play titles go, "Boss Battles" is surprisingly compelling thanks to its thoughtfully designed baddies and thorough upgrade system. Definitely worth a look if you can handle in-game ads and don't need bullet hell challenge to enjoy a scrolling shoot 'em up.
If the $0.99 price tag on "Squids" isn't a release sale, please pinch us, because we must be dreaming. Let's put this in food terms: plunking down the purchase price for The Game Bakers' turn-based RPG debut is like going into a bake shop to buy a muffin, and coming away with a luxurious wedding cake without paying a penny more.
Alawar Entertainment's ushering in the Halloween season early with this time management game, originally developed by Artifex Mundi for the PC. Its status as a port comes as a drawback in the interface department on the smaller iDevices, but "Haunted Domains" is otherwise as compelling as it is spooky.
Sunfish Studio's been playing close to the vest with its upcoming "Galaxy Pirate Adventure," a gorgeous tour-de-force slated to warp into the App Store later this month. Now we're ready to unravel some of the mystique surrounding this exciting sci-fi Action RPG!
Just when we're gearing up for the Halloween season, a number of iOS videogame characters are suiting up in military attire. Here to kick off this week's armed forces-themed coverage is "Private Joe: Urban Warfare," a port of a popular browser game coded in a language we don't see often on iOS -- HTML5!
Check. It. Out! Stepping up to the interview plate this time are Elie Charest, Mathieu Dupont, and Serge Landry, who give us a peek into their upcoming Augmented Reality game, "Chromian Wars." This could be the wave of the future, folks!
