Supercell are bringing Friendly Challenges to the game; members of the same clan can now invite clan mates to attack their villag … | Continue reading

Virtually every Japanese strategy RPG can be said to be inspired by Nintendo's Fire Emblem in some way or another. While strategy RPGs followed their own path in the West, they did so mostly on computer formats that either weren't available in Japan or were very niche. When Fire … | Continue reading
The Sacred franchise of games has spanned a whole host of titles, including action-RPGs and beat 'em ups.

I've been playing the upcoming multiplayer platformer ReRunners on and off for quite a few months now (and even wrote a preview). It's a very fun, colorful, and action-packed runner that lets you race against your friend's ghosts. With the game getting closer to release, the deve … | Continue reading

A few years back, a super quirky game called All Glory to the Pixel King! [Free] was released in the App Store from developer Steve O'Gorman. It was a super lo-fi and blocky game where you'd build a 2D fortress to surround and protect your king by filling it with all manner of so … | Continue reading
I have to admit that ever since the latest generation Apple TV launched last fall with a true App Store and a bazillion games, I haven't really played many games on it since that initial week or so of checking things out. It's not that I don't enjoy playing games on the big TV in | Continue reading
In late 2014, indie developer Anh Huy Phan brought an incredibly ambitious space combat/trading/RPG/strategy adventure called Star Nomad Elite [$1.99] to the App Store, and despite some rough edges, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Goo Saga [$4.99] is a fun platformer for those who would be intrigued by a bit of physics fluidity in their games. It's perhaps a bit loose-playing, but fun. You control a sentient ball of goo that has to find the scientist that created them, and you do so by using your gooey abi … | Continue reading
Growing up in the 80s, I saw a ton of sci-fi films. Whether they were dramatic masterpieces or oozed cheese and camp I loved them all the same, and the numerous references in modern day media like Turbo Kid, Kung Fury, or Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon are palpable. Sometimes creators j … | Continue reading

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
Whenever Battleheart and Zombieville developer Mika Mobile makes a new game, it's an event worth stopping everything for. This tiny team has continuously cranked out high-quality hits but they're typically few and far between. Well, as was announced in late February, Mika has a n … | Continue reading
In case you haven't noticed, taking hit video games and releasing their soundtracks on cleverly-designed vinyl records is all the rage right now. And I think it's incredibly awesome, actually. I have my very own hexagon-shaped Super Hexagon record hanging on my wall right now, an … | Continue reading
Publisher Crescent Moon and developer Retro Phone Games (the new mobile label of Cascadia Games) have announced that 2-bit Cowboy Rides Again is set to release in a few weeks.

Supercell's Clash Royale [Free] made a massive splash when it launched not long ago, spawning endless navel-gazing think pieces about what it means for the future of gaming, eSports, the price of tea in China, and everything in between. The problem is, the burn-out rate with Clas … | Continue reading
Android is already the easier system for players and developers when it comes to early access and open betas of games due to Google's infinitely less stringent restrictions on app distribution on the platform. Not to mention the ability to distribute games without going through G … | Continue reading
Some of you may remember from previous reviews of mine that I love horror and dark fantasy. Everything from Lovecraftian anti-existentialism to tastefully done psychological horror to torture porn to “2Edgy4U” bull-crap. I find something to enjoy in all of it. I also love simple … | Continue reading
Ever find yourself wondering just how much people love Clash of Clans [Free]?

Veterans of the App Store will know that while there's a zillion match threes and Clash of Clans clones out there, there's also seemingly just as many totally crazy games that leave you scratching your head and saying to yourself, "Why does this exist." Much more rare, is when yo … | Continue reading
Ever since Gameloft's Dungeon Hunter series shifted gears towards a free-to-play model, one of the most frequent requests I've seen come up in the TouchArcade forums has been for a game that could fill the role of a paid substitute for Diablo. Unfortunately, most of the big publi … | Continue reading

I remember way back in high school my friends being into a web game called Kingdom of Loathing, an absurd MMORPG that featured crudely-drawn stick figures, but was a surprisingly deep experience. And somehow, Kingdom of Loathing is apparently still a thing in 2016. It is such a t … | Continue reading
If you read the comments on my Pathfinder Adventures [Free (HD)] review, you probably know that the most common complaint was that the initial content was too short.

Never Gone [$0.99] could have really been something. That's my biggest takeaway from this game, after spending more time with it than I probably needed to for this review. Fundamentally, it's a belt-scrolling beat-em-up along the lines of games like Double Dragon or Final Fight, … | Continue reading
