Despite a recent surge in popularity, it was actually Square Enix that coined the 'GO' suffix on the App Store. Both Hitman GO [$0.99] and Lara Croft GO [$0.99] are indisputable mobile classics, as with a turn-based approach that is extremely reminiscent of that of board games (y … | Continue reading
If you're an 80s child like me, then you probably like Transformers - as long as the movies didn't make you hate the franchise. I've been waiting for a good Transformers game to hit iOS, and even though we've recently got Transformers: Earth Wars [Free], which has pretty good rev … | Continue reading
In typical fashion, Scott Cawthon, of Five Nights at Freddy's fame, has been drip feeding us info about the upcoming FNAF spin-off, Sister Location. Thanks to the game's Steam page, we now have more information about the setting, a few images to go along with that info, as well a … | Continue reading
Even though it's always fun looking forwards to an influx of new games in the middle of the week, it's also nice when things trickle out a bit earlier just to break things up. Just as we reported last week, Boncho Games' twitchy swipe-based platformer Blitz Breaker [$2.99] rolled … | Continue reading
Fermenter Games has been hard at work on Neighborhorde for PC, with Baseless, their most recent mobile project, being in limbo right now. But mobile fans of the unique David.

Through removing some key features, shuttin … | Continue reading
Hello everyone, and welcome to a special Hearthstone [Free] Adventure news roundup. To no one's surprise Blizzard announced the next Hearthstone Adventure late at night on July 28th, and as we guessed, it was Karazhan related. Specifically, the new Adventure is called One Night i … | Continue reading
Hello everyone, and welcome to the week! It's time once again for our look back at the noteworthy updates of the last seven days. At long last, we've got a relatively healthy-sized Update Mondays again. I'm all finished moving, the updates are flowing, and all seems to be well fo … | Continue reading
Those who played Super Bit Machine's amazing 2D shooter Armajet during its Alpha a few months back (over 2500 players did so according to the devs) know that it's a fantastic mobile shooter that, in my opinion at least, has the potential to be a huge hit. Of course, potential and … | Continue reading
Hello Pokemon trainers, I hope this story finds you out and about hunting for Pokemon. Niantic has decided to help your hunt be a bit smoother by releasing a new update for Pokemon GO [Free] that fixes some of the game's issues.

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
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
A couple of games with community elements released this past week, and if you want to join up with other readers, well, here is your chance. First up is Phoenix 2 [Free], the new shoot 'em up that we recently reviewed. The official TouchArcade community group is toucharcade, all … | Continue reading
Don't skip out on Bulb Boy [$2.99]. This iOS port of the 2015 grotesque-comedy-horror point-and-click adventure game is incredibly charming, when it's not trying to weird you out. It's not very difficult to beat, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome. The premise has you playi … | Continue reading
Pixelbite announced Space Marshals 2 a while back, but the game was announced to release in June. Spoiler alert: it's not really June any more. In fact, it's not really July any more. But the good news is that Space Marshals 2 is definitely still in the works, and it's set to rel … | Continue reading
Everyone gets their zen from their own special place. For me, that's usually listening to the latest Kenna album, grinding away in an MMO and leveling up a new character. It's relaxing in a way that it's probably crazy to basically anyone else, but if you shared some of your meth … | Continue reading
If you've been looking for a way to play official Dungeons & Dragons adventures on your mobile devices, Roll20 [Free (HD)] has just given you one.

I’m a pretty big mark for The Blacklist. It’s not amazing but it’s my kind of show. James Spader’s performance elevates the standard cool and suave genius character who always makes things go their way to something pretty unique and memorable with Raymond Reddington. The Blacklis … | Continue reading
TouchArcade forum favorite developer Quantum Sheep has been hard at work on a few projects over the last year and a half. We've already heard about Angel Wing, which is still in development, but along the way, inspiration struck for another smaller-scale game. Titled Gerty - Robo … | Continue reading
Almost every time I write a story about the very entertaining CCG Sentinels of Multiverse [$9.99 (HD)], someone in the comments will rightly inquire about the promised iPhone version of the game. Well, good news. Handelabra Games announced in a blog post that the 2.0 update, whic … | Continue reading
Yeah, you read that right. ReRunners: Race for the World [Free] is a massive multiplayer online platformer. Kind of.

With Disney Infinity's [Free] cancellation announced earlier this year, and the game's various online components, it was probably only a matter of time before news of the game's various shutdown dates would be revealed. And thanks to reader Brandon who sent us over an email sent … | Continue reading
Some mascots are better than others. Bubsy didn't really work out so well. What did we see in him so many years back? Did we see anything at all, and were we just hungry for mascots? I don't know, but I feel like someone needs to apologize. Ratchet? He's done some fine work and h … | Continue reading
We've already posted about the reveal of the new Hearthstone [Free] which happened last night at 11:00 PM Eastern. Why such a weird time? The reveal was streamed live from China Joy, a huge game convention in China. If (like me) you were sleeping when Ben Brode took the stage to … | Continue reading
I’m a sucker for sci-fi horror settings, so when I saw this brutal app icon alongside colorful screenshots that really pop, I knew I had to go for this app. Wait, what’s that? And it’s a premium game with no in-app purchases? Oh Dead Shell, you say all the right things! I was exc … | Continue reading
Well internet, you were right once again. In a stream that has just concluded, Blizzard announced the next Hearthstone [Free] Adventure, and it is, indeed, related to Karazhan and Medivh, as we had guessed when the event invitations went out. One Night in Karazhan, as is the offi … | Continue reading

One of the unique elements of mobile is that because people have their devices with them constantly, game design has taken on a new element of trying to fit into people's lives. Phoenix 2 [Free] feels like the idea was to provide an intense shoot 'em up experience that could be m … | Continue reading
If you're looking for a CCG that promises a higher degree of complexity than a game like Hearthstone but one that's still quick to play, you might want to check out the just-released Deckstorm: Duel of Guardians [Free] by DeNA. In Deckstorm's matches, players throw cards down sim … | Continue reading
The Chaos Rings series holds an important part in mobile gaming history, as it was among the first truly full-featured sets of original games made specifically for mobile devices.

While they've had their share of misses, it's hard to name any Japanese game publisher who has had more recent cross-media successes than Level-5, the minds behind Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, Yo-Kai Watch, and many other franchises. The company has largely made hay on Ninte … | Continue reading
So, I'm not sure if you all have noticed or not, but we've been writing a lot about Pokemon recently. In the articles and comments of some of these stories, an old bugbear has come up several times.

Good news to all who got excited reading about Leap of Fate leaping over to mobile a few months ago; the game has been submitted to the App Store and the developers are planning for a mid-August release. I'm really looking forward to this one because it looks awesome. Leap of Fat … | Continue reading
To say we really liked Land Sliders [Free] here at the TouchArcade tower would be an understatement; after all, it was our game of the year and for very good reasons. Land Sliders is a great mobile game and one that wouldn't work as well on any other platform. Apparently, we are … | Continue reading
Consider it a testament to the power of mobile that developers still want to make and release games for it, despite the challenges of selling on it. After all, when games are customary a third of their price on other platforms, it's no wonder that games are rarely announced first … | Continue reading
It's that time of week again to shower ourselves with a downpour of new iOS games. Business has really picked up since this morning's post of new games, as the remastered HD version of beloved mobile RPG The Quest launched for the iPad and Spry Fox's roguelike puzzler Road Not Ta … | Continue reading
Every CCG out there, be it for mobile or PC, is hunting the tail, if not the head, of that big dragon called Hearthstone [Free], and let me tell you, from what I've seen this last year or so, that dragon isn't easy to slay or even harm. Hearthstone has managed to give us a | Continue reading
Rodeo Stampede [Free] was a game I adored when I looked at it in our review last month, and for good reason.

In both an extremely surprising yet predictable attempt to wrestle the cultural zeitgeist back away from Pokemon GO [Free], a new Angry Birds title has soft launched today in Singapore - but not as you'd expect. Angry Birds: Ace Fighter is a departure from the typical aggravated … | Continue reading

If you dislike RNG-heavy Hearthstone [Free] Tavern Brawl, I suggest you do not touch that Tavern Brawl button this week because Randomonium is all about picking a class, getting a random deck, and then playing a game where card cost is random every single turn. As you can imagine … | Continue reading
Weedo Interactive has announced their new game Shoot the Dragon, and it looks like an intriguing horizontal-scrolling shoot 'em up.
