Everybody's pretty much had their fill of zombie games, myself included, but I'm making an exception for Zombie Hunter: Death to the Undead, which is releasing this Thursday from Yodo1 Games. Why make an exception? Because Zombie Hunter is an action-platformer-shooter that channe … | Continue reading
Well, here it is, everyone. Magikiras [Free] is easily one of the worst gamebooks I've played in my years of reviewing, and hands-down the most painful. It's absurdly long given its meager premise, poorly-written, and just plain boring. There are tons of spelling and grammar mist … | Continue reading

We've barely caught our breath after the second episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne [$4.99], and Telltale has already announced that the last episode of the miniseries, What We Deserve, will hit the App Store April 26th. In the upcoming finale, th … | Continue reading
Supergiant Games doesn't release games often, but when they do the world stops and takes notice. Their breakout hit was 2011's Bastion [$4.99], which first launched on Xbox Live Arcade but made its way to iOS about a year later. Then there was 2014's Transistor [$9.99], which rec … | Continue reading

Last summer's Demon's Rise - Conquest of the Deep [$2.99] was a surprisingly fun turn-based strategy title from a teensy tiny developer called Wave Light Games.

Codename Entertainment's web game Crusaders of the Lost Idols launched on Kongregate.com in July of last year, and has gone on to become quite popular since.

There's definitely a discomfort among smaller developers about how to simulataneously take advantage of the benefits of free-to-play – the large audience and desire of many people to not pay up front for games – while throwing a bone to the vocal paid game audience. The upcoming … | Continue reading
Back in 2012, indie developer Christian Schnellmann released Flight Simulator 0 [$0.99], a flight simulator (duh) where the main goal was not having any goals and instead focusing on the joy of flying around a colorful polygonal environment. The game was received reasonably well … | Continue reading
If you've watched The Walking Dead TV show, then you probably know Michonne as the almost-immortal bad-ass with the samurai sword who chops off zombie heads as if her sole purpose is helping the poor creatures depart this world. The Michonne of the TV show has consistently been t … | Continue reading
The developers of Hero of Many [$3.99] are back at it again with a new game that's all about hacking. Particularly, building up your own network and then going to hack your friends and other opponents on the internets. The game is called, well, Hackers. Seems appropriate enough. … | Continue reading
It's a bit of an open secret that there's absolutely no shortage of bots, hacks, mods, tweaks, and many other things that fall inside of those categories for Clash of Clans [Free] and Clash Royale [Free] and Supercell's other games.

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.

Our forums have been going gaga over a recent release this year, Planar Conquest [$12.99], a big 4X game that was released earlier this year. While its $12.99 price point and IAP (including a $19.99 "complete pack") might scare some people off, this is intended to be a massive, d … | Continue reading
Bloomberg published an interesting article last night surrounding Apple potentially pursuing building a "secret team" to explore various potential App Store changes.

The Kingdom Hearts series is one of the top-selling RPG brands in the world. It's hard not to be cynical about its origins, as it was a clear attempt to mash together two things that are very popular, especially in Japan, to see how much money would come out.

Pocket Mortys [Free] has the distinction of being the absolute best Rick and Morty-themed Pokemon clone available. Nobody else is even close.
