Welcome to another week and another batch of new iOS games! Unfortunately, the big game we revealed earlier today, a port of Bioware's RPG Jade Empire, will not be launching tonight as originally intended. Dang it! Look for it to come soon, and we'll be sure to let you know the m … | Continue reading
Three weeks ago, The Quest HD [$7.99] hit the App Store after receiving a very warm reception on Steam earlier in the year, but there was only one major problem: The game was iPad-only. That's all well and good if you have an iPad, but if you don't or even if you simply prefer ga … | Continue reading
Not even Master Li could see this one coming. Aspyr Media, the team behind the iOS ports of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic [$9.99] and Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy [$4.99], are adding another classic adventure to their iOS portfolio later today. Many of us had anticipated … | Continue reading
Along with today's bonanza of iOS game releases, it's also National Medical Dosimetrist's Day. What's a medical dosimetrist? Well, it's a sub-speciality so complicated it takes an entire paragraph to explain. So, shout out to all the dosimetrist out there, may you have great luck … | Continue reading
We're streaming live on Mobcrush right now. There's a couple different ways you can watch the stream, and they all work equally well and it's really just a matter of personal preference as to which method you prefer. The easiest way to watch is just watching the embedded player r … | Continue reading
The Inner World [$2.99] is an adventure game from Studio Fizbin and Headup Games that released back in 2013, and although it went under the radar for most people, it had a small but loyal fanbase who enjoyed the game's imaginative story, characters, and game world. Well with Game … | Continue reading
We were on the hype train for Gambrinous and Versus Evil's Guild of Dungeoneering [$3.99] ever since we saw it at PAX South way back in January of last year. However, as is common with multiplatform releases, Guild of Dungeoneering was released on desktop the following July, and … | Continue reading
We loved Downwell [$2.99] back at its release, and even bestowed it our Game of the Year Runner Up award for 2015. Therefore, while it has become the gold standard for which any fast-paced high score centric platformer game on the App Store is immediately compared to, it means an … | Continue reading
When it comes to interactive fiction, certain elements have to carry a disproportionate amount of weight on their shoulders. A good premise helps. Interesting choices are a must. While the story doesn't necessarily have to be spectacular, it should at least be well-written. There … | Continue reading
At this stage in the App Store, I feel like I've played practically ever iteration of zombie games. I mean, we've done everything from shoot zombies from an AC-130 in Zombie Gunship [Free] to, well, making zombies pizza in Zombie Pizza [$0.99]. The just-released Zombie Town Story … | Continue reading
After what has felt like an excruciatingly long few months, the soccer season has finally started to kick back into action. One of the best parts of becoming unfathomably disappointed by your team's heartbreaking 4-3 loss at home is that the new football year brings with it a who … | Continue reading
Artillery games have long been a popular genre on mobile. iShoot was one of the earliest examples of an indie developer striking it rich with an iPhone game, and of course Angry Birds is a derivative of the artillery genre. A bit later in the iPhone's life a game called Bowman ca … | Continue reading
The original Shadow Bug [$3.99] is a pretty cool action-platformer with a great control scheme. The developers are set to rework the core of the game into an endless action game called Shadow Bug Rush, set to release in October. The idea is that there will be endless levels to pl … | Continue reading
Keeping with today's genre-blending theme, there's yet another upcoming game that's grabbed my attention, this one called Word Invaders. As you can probably guess from the title, Word Invaders mashes together word games with classic Space Invaders-style gameplay. But wait, how th … | Continue reading
PikPok should be well-known among mobile gamers for not only making some good games, but also ones with solid production values. So even when they do something that seems familiar, it's worth paying attention to as it might not be what it seems. It's easy to take a quick look at … | Continue reading
Apparently, when you want to bring any kind of IP to the App Store, you go for a Match-3 game, which isn't always a bad idea, but most of the times the whole thing seems forced. In the case of the upcoming Muhammad Ali: Puzzle King game, the official game based on the life of | Continue reading
I guess today is the day to talk about genre-blending games, as another upcoming game has caught my attention that again takes some tried-and-true concepts and mixes them together into a single game. It's called Defend Your Turf from solo UK developer Stephen Folkes, and it takes … | Continue reading
I'm a big fan of genre-blending, and developer Legal Radiation Team is blending together several well-worn mechanics in a neat way in their upcoming game Line Defense. The base concept is similar to Missile Command where you'll be protecting various cities across the world from i … | Continue reading
Inkle Studios has been playing a bit coy with the Sorcery 4 release date up until now, including announcing that they would be announcing the release date soon. Now, soon can mean any number of things, but for Inkle, soon means a couple of days later, as they've announced that So … | Continue reading
Redshift's The Quest [$4.99] was originally released for Pocket PCs and Palm devices, but it found new life when the game was ported to iPhones in March of 2009. Its massive size and depth, combined with a seemingly endless parade of new content through regular expansion pack rel … | Continue reading
If you're a fan of strategy games, what is it about them that gets you hooked? Is it the ability to command huge armies and have them engage in long, epic campaigns over huge theaters? Or do you enjoy small, intimate engagements where every unit counts? For me, it's definitely th … | Continue reading
tinyBuild's upcoming Party Hard Go was announced via a search for beta testers on our forums, but now the game has been officially announced all-PR style by tinyBuild. But for those who didn't get into the beta, or are just curious about how the controls work – because that seeme … | Continue reading

We start off this week's podcast with a bunch of talk surrounding a Test Flight build we got about Rocketcat and Madgarden's Death Road to Canada. The game is so frickin' good, you guys. I can't wait for it to hit the App Store so ya'll can get a taste. Anyway, we a | Continue reading
Hey everyone, it's Friday and we're close to the end of the week of TouchArcade blasting stories out (unless anything cool happens over the weekend we need to cover), but the fact still remains: To survive, we very much need your support. The business of running a web site is tri … | Continue reading
The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn't necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the hi … | Continue reading
If you've been thinking of trying to trick Pokemon GO [Free] in order to get those Pokemon more easily, you might want to rethink your plan because Niantic has now started permanently banning accounts that have anything to do with cheating of any kind. According to an announcemen … | Continue reading
If you missed out on the beta for Amused Sloth's Disco Dave, good news: you can still give it a spin and provide feedback before the game's worldwide release, as the game has soft launched in the UK, Netherlands, Romania, and Singapore. The game is set to launch worldwide soon, b … | Continue reading
Square Enix Montreal's Deus Ex GO – which isn't an augmented-reality version of Deus Ex, it's a puzzle game from the studio that was using "GO" as a suffix well before Pokemon GO [Free] ever was – finally has a release date. It's next Thursday, August 18th, releasing on both iOS … | Continue reading
Prolific mobile games publisher Crescent Moon Games has announced that their next title Legend of the Skyfish, developed by MGaia Studios, is set to release on August 18th. Now, there's a whole plot and story to the game, but why should this game intrigue you? Well, the protagoni … | Continue reading
When I walked into the office today and punched my timecard I had no idea we'd be in for the type of new game avalanche that we're seeing today, but it's been a particularly heavy release week. Lots of stuff trickled out earlier this week and even dipping into last week, so we've … | Continue reading
Last Friday I got a build of Rocketcat and Madgarden's Death Road to Canada on my iPhone. Since then, I've been completely obsessed. After hours, and hours, and hours of playing, I'm ready to say it: As far as my own personal game of the year is concerned, Death Road to Canada is … | Continue reading
Back in late April, we learned that the final chapter of Spiderweb Software's epic Avadon trilogy would be coming to desktop and iPad sometime this fall, and the game's Steam page even hinted that the release date might be September 14th. Today we have official confirmation that … | Continue reading
The designer and art director of the famed Puzzle Quest series are back in action in their new studio InfinityPlusOne and are looking to bring a new "combine-to-craft fantasy adventure" called Tiny Quest to iOS, Android and PC early next year. Details are a bit light on Tiny Ques … | Continue reading
If you've ever wanted to be part of all those Law & Order court scenes but doing them in a slightly satirical way, then the upcoming Twelve Absent Men (a clear play on the famous Twelve Angry Men movie) could fulfill your - admittedly singular - wish. The game is inspired by the … | Continue reading
Back in December of 2014, a quirky and entertaining adventure game called Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1: A Dreadly Business [$2.99] was released by tiny UK studio Rumpus Animation.

If you're not familiar with Politaire [Free], I'm just going to pull this bus over and give you time to read our review. It's a combination of poker and solitaire that seems crazy, but quickly turns into something in between "this is super clever" and "why didn't someone think of … | Continue reading
At first glance, the recent 1.3 update for Pokemon GO [Free] wasn't a particularly revolutionary one - apart from some other miscellaneous additions, the return of the 'Nearby' tab as 'Sightings' simply appeared to be a reversion to the previous (broken) tracking system of old. H … | Continue reading
When a mobile port of Vlambeer's hit arena platformer Super Crate Box [$1.99] was first announced nearly five years ago, it felt like huge things were on the horizon for the small indie developer in the mobile realm. Despite being a twitchy game built for physical controls, Super … | Continue reading
Niantic continues its efforts to improve Pokemon GO [Free], and update 1.3.0, which has just gone live, attempts to fix one of the game's main issues, the Nearby Pokemon feature.

Obsidian's Pathfinder Adventures [Free (HD)] is a highly entertaining card game with great flavor and fun mechanics, and the upcoming 1.0.3.7 update seems on track to make the game even better.

It's tough to get a beat on exactly what Kairosoft's release strategy is, if they even have one. Sometimes it feels like months in between them releasing games, and other times it feels like there's a new one hitting every week. Not even two weeks after the release of the not-ver … | Continue reading
Pokemon GO [Free] is still a very popular game despite complaints from some of its fans, and that popularity propelled the game's revenue to record heights according to a Sensor Tower estimation. During its first month of availability (and remember, the roll-out was quite slow), … | Continue reading
