In early June, we scoped out a wacky trailer for an upcoming third-person shooter from Flange Studio called Gun Glory: Anarchy [Free], and today the game has just gone live in the App Store. So what made the trailer so wacky? Two words: Bunny hats. Gun Glory goes beyond the tired … | Continue reading
Hearthstone's [Free] latest update is a big one, and while it doesn't change much about the game, it does add some interesting new features. We are getting a new Shaman hero, Morgl the Oracle, which can be earned by referring a friend and having them reach a total of 20 levels ac … | Continue reading
To some extent, this story feels a little inevitable. The beauty of Pokemon Go [Free] is how it turns real-world landmarks and other locations into gameplay elements. Niantic's other game, Ingress [Free] did the same thing, with largely the same points, but never even came close … | Continue reading
Turns out there are other games being released onto the App Store this week that don't involve throwing capsules at critters. Lanota [$1.99], which really impressed us when we looked at it for the first time last week, has circumvented the usual Thursday midnight rush of releases … | Continue reading
Great news for Pokemon hunters this afternoon, as Pokemon Go [Free] version 1.0.1 just hit the App Store. Among the things fixed in the update is rolling back Google account permissions, general stability improvements, and you shouldn't need to log in quite as much anymore when p … | Continue reading
Pokemon GO [Free] has been pushing people to get out and walk, a lot. However, not everyone likes being forced to participate in any kind of physical exercise, so we've seen hacks such as people finding ways to get their phone moving so the game thinks you are actually walking in … | Continue reading
Guild of Dungeoneering looked intriguing the first time we saw it at PAX South, and it's finally about to come to mobile. If you haven't read our earlier story on the game, Guild of Dungeoneering is a turn-based dungeon crawler where instead of controlling your hero, you get to b … | Continue reading
We tried to add up the number of cumulative hours that Team TouchArcade has spent playing various iterations of Lumines, but couldn't find a calculator that could go that high... So instead, we're just refocusing our mathematical lasers on being super excited for the upcoming lau … | Continue reading
Despite Portugal somehow winning the Euros regardless of only winning one game in normal time and against the will of an army of moths, Pixel Cup Soccer 16 [$2.99] still remains a highly enjoyable footbal experience on mobile. In our review last month we loved the tight arcade ac … | Continue reading
[appicon]Friends of mine who have spent time in the military seem to love saying, "If it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid." Well, that's certainly the case with this particular Pokemon Go [appprice url="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8"] tip. We' … | Continue reading
We've seen a lot of licensed LEGO games in the 11 years since the series of action games from Traveler's Tales first kicked off. Batman, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Avengers, Indiana Jones, Jurassic World, and Pirates of the Caribbean have all had at least one game made … | Continue reading
Although the game is starting to face some competition at the top spot, there's no denying that Clash of Clans [Free] has been a force to be reckoned with on the mobile charts. One region where it hasn't been quite so dominant, however, is Japan, where social RPGs like Puzzle & D … | Continue reading
Nintendo should cancel the NX and go exclusively mobile as soon as possible. I admit that is a hot take after a few days of Pokemon GO [Free], but why shouldn't they be making a major mobile push right now? The Pokemon Company releases an app that has server issues, eats your bat … | Continue reading
Despite some pretty fun football games recently - such as Pixel Cup Soccer 16 [$2.99] - I'm still waiting for a good multiplayer football game now that FIFA has turned into an imitation of a football game that disappoints me daily. Today, we got an announcement that Hugo Games, p … | Continue reading
After a few different stories surrounding crooks using Pokemon go to steal phones, it seems social media has been ablaze with warnings surrounding not getting your phone stolen while wandering around collecting endless Pidgeys. Unfortunately, phones getting snatched isn't exactly … | Continue reading
[appicon]We don't hear much about Fallout Shelter [appprice url="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fallout-shelter/id991153141?mt=8"] anymore, but that doesn't mean the game isn't a popular time-waster among those who enjoy the Fallout franchise and even those who just like fun man … | Continue reading
I know everyone is in the midst of Pokemon GO [Free] fever, and maybe even some Super Stickman Golf 3 [Free] when they're not out trying to rule their local gym, but Double Fine has just dropped a cool release on us: Day of the Tentacle Remastered [$4.99] has just released on iOS … | Continue reading
Back in April, we showed you some video from a very early version of Ding Dong Delivery from developer Secret Box, which looked to take the classic paper-flinging gameplay of Paperboy and Crossy Road-ify it with endless play, blocky and colorful visuals, and plenty of unlockables … | Continue reading
While we've already established that Pokemon Go [Free] is on track to be bigger than sliced bread, not everything is as awesome as it seems in the land of Pokemon. As discovered by Adam Reeve, principal architect of the security firm RedOwl, if you're playing Pokemon Go via loggi … | Continue reading
I think it's fair now to say that Pokemon GO [Free] is a huge hit, probably beyond any expectations, and is rapidly becoming a cultural phenomenon. Despite its popularity, though, there are those voices who question whether the game can retain its player base and complain about t … | Continue reading
This weekend was pretty surreal for people who follow the mobile gaming scene, as Pokemon Go [Free] seems to be hitting harder than Flappy Bird. Crazier, yet, as of this writing, it isn't even available in most places of the world yet. If you weren't around for the Flappy Bird ph … | Continue reading
Welcome to another weekly roundup of all news Hearthstone [Free]. This week hasn't been a barn burner, so don't expect any mind-blowing stories; still, there are some interesting things to talk about, like more and more people talking about Wild compared to a few weeks ago and th … | Continue reading
Now that Pokemon Go [Free] has been out in the wild for a little bit and the servers seem to have settled down, one of the more interesting facets that newcomers are starting to realize is the distinct lack of any in-game guides or tutorials. This is especially true for the game’ … | Continue reading
While Pokemon Go [Free] is seeing such explosive growth in the USA that the servers can barely keep up, most of the world can't even play it yet without some minor hoops to jump through as it's not available on many other App Store regions yet. Of course, if you're willing to fol … | 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. It's another mini-edition this week, I'm afraid. The internet was set up at my new location, but it came too late in the day to be as thorough as I us … | Continue reading
Battles in Pokemon Go [Free] are relatively simple in nature, but are still significantly different than that of its console counterparts. In addition, Pokemon Go has a much different way of improving your pokemon team than previous titles. So, check out the following tips and gu … | Continue reading

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.

Even though it was a shorter than normal week this week, we still were lucky enough to have a ridiculous amount of game releases. Some awesome... Others... Not so awesome. You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out which is which. Anyway, here's the games we discuss: Pokemo … | 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
The launch of Pokemon GO [Free] has been a bit odd as it's not gone by the "soft launch then worldwide release" formula that most games of this ilk go by. With the game proving to be popular in its launch territories, people yet unable to play will not want to hear this: the inte … | Continue reading
There aren't that many fighting games on iOS, and even those that do exist - like Injustice: Gods Among Us - aren't everyone's cup of tea. While it's hard to judge from just one trailer, Shori Games' upcoming Knights Fight: Medieval Arena seems to be a promising fighting game tha … | Continue reading
If you were one of those who were hoping to get Gary Grisgsby's World at War, the classic grand strategy game, on mobile, get ready for some disappointment. We've talked a few times in the past that Slitherine, the publisher of quite a few strategy games, has decided to shift att … | Continue reading
I almost let this particular game slip completely under my radar, but when I saw some screenshots of it, I knew I absolutely had to play it. I just hoped that the game would live up to the aesthetic. Mahluk: Dark Demon [$0.99] is a hack and slash platformer in the vein of Goblin … | Continue reading
In my eyes, artistry goes a long way towards making me want to play a game, even if the gameplay might sometimes fail to entertain me as much. The upcoming game Lanota, though, seems to not only bring a great artistic vision to life but also combine that with a fun blend of rhyth … | Continue reading
While Pokemon GO [Free] players likely know the name Pokemon, there's another name to know: the developer, Niantic. Namely, because they made another geolocation game called Ingress [Free] that served as the foundation for Pokemon GO. And as it turns out, there's years of advice … | Continue reading
Micro Machines, the new, updated version of the legendary racing game, has been in the soft-launch oven baking for quite some time now, but it appears that it's finally time for it to be served. We wrote about the game going into soft-launch back in November, and the developers s … | Continue reading
I think it's pretty fair to say that Pokemon GO [Free] has become incredibly popular in the few days it's been available. Trying to avoid seeing something about the game is like trying to avoid air. The game's popularity is, of course, already translating into more money for Nint … | Continue reading
This week saw the release of Out There Chronicles [$2.99], a gamebook-style narrative prequel to the excellent space exploration roguelike Out There: Omega Edition [$0.99]. Well, if you missed the original Out There during any of its previous sales, it's once again on sale for a … | Continue reading
Assuming you're in the US, Japan, or New Zealand, chances are you've probably downloaded Pokemon Go and have been since made fully aware of what a ridiculous battery suck the game is. It's sort of incredible how quickly it drains your phone, almost putting Nintendo's Miitomo to s … | Continue reading
I’ll just be upfront about it and say that I adore the Uncharted series. There are plenty of design decisions that I can and do criticize, from overuse of long climbing/platforming sessions that don’t provide much challenge to certain narrative criticisms. But the games are alway … | Continue reading
Pokemon GO [Free] has been released in virtually everywhere in the world that isn't Canada or the UK, and everyone from policemen to grandparents have been getting involved in catching critters in your back yard, churches or wherever the App leads you (but hopefully not into onco … | Continue reading
Hello, gentle readers, and welcome to the RPG Reload. This week, we're continuing our little monthly project looking at the history of handheld RPGs.

In August of last year, developer HeavyBoat released an interesting take on the endless, one-hop-at-a-time Crossy Road-style gameplay with their game Winter Fugitives. In addition to progressing forward one square at a time and navigating the terrain, you also had to contend with … | Continue reading
Folks interested in checking out the latest AR fad are in a bit of a tough spot right now. Pokemon Go [Free] servers have been on the fritz all day long.

[appicon]The Sorcery! series is easily one of the best gamebook series on the App Store, with the first one being a "vibrant piece of interactive fiction" (per our review) and the other two demonstrating continuous improvements. No wonder, then, that many are anxiously waiting fo … | Continue reading
