Are you tired of the same old gameplay model appearing time and time again in iOS Action RPGs? Pixel and Texel feel the same way, and their aim is to usher in something quite different with their upcoming genre entry, "Fara!"
We'll say it again: we prefer not to make predictions at the preview stage. But doggone it if some developers don't make it so easy! Fans of Castle Defense and Real-Time Strategy games will be marching to the beat of Image & Form's "Anthill" when it releases in early October, because this ain't your average genre offering!
Hot on the heels of FatCow Games' "Idyllic," XperimentalZ Games is sprinting toward the finish line of yet another project that injects some depth into the side-scrolling genre. Oh, did we mention this one has lightsabers? Naturally we sought a hands-on preview when we found out that little detail!
Given the opportunity by the kind folks at One Minute Games, we're tearing right into "Commander Pixman!" Can life for retro platforming fans get any better than it does on iOS?
If you've been waiting for a really neat rail shooter to hit iOS, you'll want to keep an eye out for this upcoming collaboration from Bane Games, Squid Tank and Game Audio Australia!
"Super Bit Dash" isn't just shaping up to be a great running game -- it's shaping up to be a fun and carefully designed platformer, which bodes extremely well for it in a genre that's been beaten to death so much over the App Store's life time. Whether you're a running genre enthusiast, a platformer fan, or a retro lover, Fakepup has created something you'll really want to sink your teeth into!
In our latest hands-on preview we get a sneak peek at Retromite's upcoming iOS debut, "Robotriot." If you're a side-scrolling platformer fan, this one is aiming straight at your heart, as it hearkens back to an era that many would agree was the genre's golden age.
As much a work of slick art nouveau as it is a videogame, "Gun Fu" is a good example of how much a developer can accomplish with a minimalistic approach.
You may recall we wondered aloud in our Desert Zombie: Last Stand First Look article whether this upcoming Unreal Engine-powered game might end up being a linear, "on-rails" experience à la Doom Resurrection or RAGE. The latest teaser trailer and accompanying press release from Crystalised puts paid to the notion, revealing Last Stand to be a completely free-roaming, third-person shooter!
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.
