Black Friday goes digital at the App Store, a flurry of developer contests are announced, TOME Studios gears up for a massive "Danger Alliance" update, and more inside!
It's a parade of great updates in this weekend news roundup! TOME Studios earns an Indie Medal of Honor for their rapid reaction plan, and a number of games spanning the gamut of genres are similarly brought up for honorable citation.
"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.
For all of you waiting on pins and needles to see what the fate of isometric turn-based strategy games will be on iOS, never fear: TOME Studios is hard at work proving that the genre can be executed just as well on a touchscreen as on a console. After spending some hands-on time with "Danger Alliance: Battles," we're not even sure we'll be able to go back to physical controllers for our TBS fix.
