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
Punk Labs, the fine folks behind Skeletomb [Free], are back at it with a new game called Kerflux set to release on Friday, August 12th. The concept is a bit tough to grab on to just by looking at t, but the idea is that you have to manipulate different waveforms in order to make | Continue reading
Sometimes, based on the recommendation of the lovely Touch Arcade community, you get to go into a project completely blind. I had never heard of the source material for Eden: The Game [Free], which is apparently based on a UK reality television show where a group of people live i … | Continue reading
Back in early June, we told you about Kobojo Games' plan to combine Candy Crush-like match-3 with Hearthstone-like deck building and sprinkle in a dash of real-time strategy in their upcoming game Primal Legends, and while that sounds like an awful lot of genre-mashing, I was rea … | Continue reading
Ah, college football season. It's the best. Sure, the sport is run by a corrupt cartel exploiting young men's bodies for minimal compensation while everyone else gets rich, not to mention that the culture around programs is often morally reprehensible, where the players are often … | Continue reading
It's hard to believe that we're coming up on two years since XperimentalZ Games launched Pixel Boat Rush [Free] on the App Store, but here we are, and despite that lengthy chunk of time the developers have just released a meaty new update for the game. This update introduces 16 n … | Continue reading
Magic Cube Games, who you probably know as the developers of the Infect Them All and Call of Snakes series, among many other games, have announced their latest project, a game called Infinity Duels. The concept of Infinity Duels is pretty simple. It takes the left/right tapping g … | Continue reading
The most formative experience of my childhood was undoubtedly the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Whether it was the absolutely incredible soundtrack, or the hidden tapes that forced you to explore every single nook and cranny of the incredibly varied environment, there was so muc … | Continue reading
Nerial's Reigns is looking like quite a unique title, that could be best described as Tinder for the enterprising king trying to command his kingdom. The entire game gives you a series of binary decisions to make based on people making requests of you, which you answer by swiping … | Continue reading
Jussi Simpanen's fun platformer Super Dangerous Dungeons [Free] is set to get a new dungeon on August 11th, the Sand Dungeon. This is meant to be about the same difficulty as the fire and golden dungeons in the original, so yeah, good luck with that. Expect lots more deaths and t … | Continue reading
The word 'Metroidvania' has become synonymous with disappointment and cynicism for me over the past few years. Every game with such a label either plays nothing like the side-scrolling action titles with an emphasis on exploration that I fell in love with as a child, or cannot li … | Continue reading
Hello, gentle readers, and welcome to the RPG Reload. This week, we're concluding our little monthly project looking at the history of handheld RPGs. That means that we will not be taking a look at a specific RPG from the App Store's past this time around. Last month, we took a l … | Continue reading
I know that some of you might not be that smitten with Clash Royale [Free] anymore for multiple reasons - too unfair, too challenging, etc. Despite how you feel about the gameplay, though, one thing pretty much everyone can agree on is that Supercell can really make fun commercia … | Continue reading
After a fruitful soft-launch period (judging from the improvements), Industrial Toys' Midnight Star: Renegade, the follow-up to the very entertaining Midnight Star [Free], is ready to launch on August 11th. As we've talked about in the past, Midnight Star was a very fun shooter b … | Continue reading
Since the big furore over the termination of Pokevision and the in game tracking system, Niantic have become a lot more transparent in their communication with fans in regards to questions and queries related to Pokemon GO [Free]. Within a day of the controversial 1.1 update, the … | Continue reading
So, here's a juicy secret for all of you: To the best of my knowledge, I'm the TouchArcade staff member who has played Clash of Clans [Free] the least. It probably seems odd that a writer for a major mobile site hasn't played much of one of the most popular games on the platform, … | Continue reading
To the Moon is one of those games I've wanted to play on my PC but just never managed to get around to it. Fortunately, the game will be coming to iOS and Android next year, so I'll finally (hopefully) get to play it this time. To the Moon is a story-driven experience about two | Continue reading
This story is about a game with Go in the title, but, surprisingly, it's not about Pokemon GO [Free]; it's actually about the upcoming Deus Ex Go by Square Enix Montreal, which began the Go trend. Deus Ex Go will be the third in the Go series after Hitman Go [$4.99] and Lara Crof … | Continue reading
I think it's pretty fair to say that we've had a torrent, a deluge, a cataclysm of Warhammer games on the App Store in recent years, and while some were quite good, overall they haven't really done the franchise too many favors. And the news coming out today probably won't please … | Continue reading
Hibernum's Saber's Edge has taken a long, long route to iOS – it was once an Amazon Fire Phone exclusive, and while it was quite the fun game, not a lot of people really played it because not a lot of people bought the Fire Phone. I can't blame them, the phone was not really | Continue reading
The curious trend of video games getting vinyl soundtrack releases continues, with the rad Downwell [$2.99] – my personal favorite game of 2015 – getting a soundtrack release on vinyl by Black Screen Records. Eirik Suhrke, who composed the soundtrack for Downwell as well as Ridic … | Continue reading
Moon Kid has announced a new game, Satellina Zero, that will release next week, and is a spin-off of the fun Satellina [Free] from 2015. Where that game was a time-trial-focused game where you had to move around an arena, collecting all the dots of the proper color before moving … | Continue reading
Welcome to another week of new iOS game releases, and if you're on the same side of the planet that I am, then you're happy to have Hump Day behind you and only a couple more days left before the weekend. And what better way to break up that work week than by downloading a | Continue reading
Lemon Jam has a gorgeous looking puzzler called Lost Maze in the works, and they need your help to test it out. You spin around cylindrical pieces of the various levels in order to help guide the protagonist Misty through the paths without running into traps. The controls are des … | Continue reading
The mood around some Pokemon GO [Free] fans as of late has been a bit sour, but Niantic's made some announcements that should soothe some of the tension. First up, they say the game's launching in a few more Latin American countries, including Brazil. While Brazilians are often v … | Continue reading
Fancy Rabbit is developing a very promising survival horror game called From Beneath, and judging from the videos I've seen so far and the voice-over talent the developer has been recruiting, Fancy Rabbit looks determined to make From Beneath a hit. According to the game's webpag … | Continue reading
[appicon]I have a hunch that Blizzard's offices are all about Adventures this week, because instead of getting a typical Hearthstone [appprice url="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hearthstone-heroes-warcraft/id625257520?mt=8"] Tavern Brawl, we got Storming Stormwind, a Brawl that … | Continue reading
Infinite Dreams' latest shoot 'em up Sky Force Reloaded [Free] only just arrived in early June, but already it's been fleshed out with a few big updates, and today we're getting yet another one. While the previous update was dubbed the "Green Update" this new one continues that c … | Continue reading
While I assume most of you are out celebrating National Watermelon Day, those of us at TouchArcade Towers are scratching our heads wondering what's been going on with the App Store as of late. As we mentioned last week, the delightfully predictable behavior of App Store game rele … | Continue reading
Unlock Cinderella characters and Splash Mountain in the latest update to Magic Kingdoms. | Continue reading
I'll come to the point immediately today: Legends of Heropolis [Free]is a terrible game. If you had access to a state-of-the-art 1966 Batcomputer and asked it to show you the worst possible outcome of a merger between a Kairosoft sim and a Japanese free-to-play social RPG, Legend … | Continue reading
To say Mobius Final Fantasy [Free] has been highly anticipated by fans of Square Enix, or simply RPGs in general, is perhaps an understatement. Ever since the title was announced back in 2014 (when it was known as Mevius Final Fantasy) it has been on our radar, and when we caught … | 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
After announcing that the next Hearthstone [Free] Adventure will be the disco-themed One Night in Karazhan, Blizzard has been showing off cards and giving us more details about how the various parts of the Adventure will play out. On Friday, August 5th at 7PM PDT, you'll be able … | Continue reading
Hero Generations: ReGen is a game I've written about a few times in the past because it's the kind of game we don't often get on mobile. If you've been looking for a good-looking roguelike with a fun twist, you'll only have to wait until August 18th to get your hands on Hero Gene … | Continue reading
Earlier today we posted about PlayCast [$9.99], a third party utility that had been just released on the App Store. It advertises the ability to play PS4 games on iOS devices via the same Remote Play functionality that allows you to play PS4 games on the Vita. After waiting what … | Continue reading
In late June developer Digidiced announced that they'd be bringing a digital version of Uwe Rosenberg's 2012 board game Agricola: All Creatures Big & Small to iOS, Android, and Windows 10 sometime this summer. Well, today they've revealed the actual release date for the game, and … | Continue reading
The digital port of the board game Tsuro [$2.99] was one of the prettiest board games on the App Store, offering a lovely, serene experience. I quite enjoyed it when I reviewed it, and the good thing is that the developers have continued to update it and make it even better. This … | Continue reading
Lost in all the hysteria over the potential for virtual reality is the Samsung Gear VR. The Gear VR might be the most mature virtual reality solution yet, not only because the hardware is made in partnership with Oculus, but because the third revision of the Gear VR is set to hit … | Continue reading
If you were anxiously waiting for BATMAN: The Telltale Series to come out today, August 2nd, as originally announced, I'm afraid you'll have to wait quite a bit longer. Originally, the first episode of the new series was supposed to come out on mobile today, on the same day as on … | Continue reading
If you're an owner of a PlayStation 3 or 4 as well the owner of a Sony handheld device, you're no doubt familiar with the Remote Play feature that allows you to stream your console games on a Vita or PSP. A couple of years back the service was even expanded to the PlayStation TV, | Continue reading
Ironically, the very success of the rhythm genre back at Guitar Hero’s launch on home consoles in 2005 was ultimately its undoing. A complete over saturation of the genre in under five years - spanning many different formats, even more spin-offs and unbeknownst amount of instrume … | Continue reading
Crescent Moon Games have such a varied and dynamic catalog of games that it's become hard to know what to expect from them anymore. While they are responsible for some behemoth big-budget titles - such as the upcoming Morphite - that normally attract a massive amount of hype and … | Continue reading
Once rare treats in an overall line-up that included a few other developers, EXE-Create's games for Kemco have recently had to shoulder most of the load for the near-monthly release schedule of the publisher. Of this year's seven iOS releases so far from Kemco, five have come fro … | Continue reading
Vector Unit has delivered Riptide GP: Renegade on Apple TV to you as they promised they would. It's August 2nd, they said the game would release on that date for $9.99, and if you have an Apple TV or Nvidia Shield TV, you can play the game on those boxes. If you don't have one | Continue reading
Considering virtually all my free time is spent commuting on the tube, the iOS games I tend to gravitate towards on these train rides are colorful and unique puzzle games such as twofold inc. [$3.99] and Threes! [$2.99]. Being able to immerse myself in a puzzle or two between sto … | Continue reading
Yesterday, we published an article attempting to analyse the most recent update to Pokemon GO [Free] and the demise of third party tracking websites such as Pokevision. While there was a lot of constructive debate from both sides, the overwhelming consensus - and underlying thesi … | Continue reading
