When Faily Brakes [Free] first launched a couple of months ago, I remember thinking to myself "Great, ANOTHER Verby Noun endless arcade game, BIG WHOOP!" Then I finally got around to playing it and was completely taken by surprise with just how darn fun it was. I guess you can't … | Continue reading
[appicon]I find it to be sort of hard to believe that very many people reading TouchArcade don't already have Luca Redwood's fabulous You Must Build a Boat [appprice url="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/you-must-build-a-boat/id811397653?mt=8"], but if you don't, and you live in t … | Continue reading
Blizzard continues to try different ideas in its Hearthstone [Free] Tavern Brawls, and this week's The Great Stone of Challenge is definitely an interesting one.

I can't tell you how many times I had people ask me to get on a Minecraft server while streaming Minecraft: Pocket Edition [$6.99] on our Mobcrush channel.

[appicon] Friends, there are an awful lot of twin-stick shooters on iOS. After a period of relative dormancy, the genre came back into fashion at almost the exact same time as mobile gaming went through the roof and the indie boom kicked off, so it was in a lot of ways inevitable … | Continue reading
It's always kinda crazy how something like A Dark Room [$0.99] managed to become such a mega hit in this day and age.

We unfortunately still live in a world where backing up saves of your favorite iOS games is not easily supported through iOS, and iCloud is not supported by many developers.

Last week we posted about a huge update that had just hit Magic Duels [Free] and I somewhat sarcastically mentioned that it seems like with this game for every bug Wizards fixes, new ones pop up. Well, that's true once again with the latest Magic Duels update, and this particular … | Continue reading

We've been hearing a lot recently about Pokemon GO, but there's another mobile Pokemon game that looks cool. However, this one might not make it to the US App Store.

In an effort to make that daily grind worth it, Supercell is changing Clash Royale's [Free] Crown Chests in a big way.

The quality of those games has run the gamut from the bland Marvel: War Of Heroes to the surprisingly enjoyable Marvel Future Fight [Free]. Somewhere in th … | Continue reading
We previewed it earlier this year, but all of us at TouchArcade are pretty excited for Super Senso. If you haven't heard of it before, the best way to describe it is a real slick mobile Advance Wars-like with big-ass robots. Recently, it was announced that the game is to be publi … | Continue reading
Man do I love dungeon crawlers, but sometimes while I'm adventuring around diving down deep in a dangerous dungeon I have to stop and think to myself "I'm not learning while doing this!" Well that's about to be a thing of the past when Dungenious launches later this week. It take … | Continue reading
You might not know this, but I'm contractually obligated (by my two cats) to write about any good-looking cat game out there, and upcoming Cosplay Cats seems to fit the bill. This game blends match-3 mechanics with gameplay similar to the lazy cat simulator, Neko Atsume [Free]. Y … | Continue reading
I've talked repeatedly about how much I enjoy the eeriness of Rusty Lake's Cube Escape series, and the just-released Cube Escape: Theater [Free] continues along the same vein, which is nothing but good news to me. Cube Escape: Theater is the eighth in the Cube Escape series and c … | Continue reading
Work on Minecraft: Pocket Edition [$6.99] continues at a pretty good pace, and today we got to see a sneak peek of a new mob coming in the next update, 0.15. While the teaser released is on the dark side, the mob seems to wear armor and carry a bow, so probably another ranged thr … | Continue reading
We live in a world of constant sales and freebies. It happens so darn much that sometimes it's tough to even get excited about a sale. This is NOT one of those times. Pixelbite's stunning dual-stick shooter Space Marshals [Free] has just dropped to free for the first time ever. I … | 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.

Retro City Rampage DX [$3.99] finally hits iOS. Took it long enough, eh? Brian Provinciano's "what if Grand Theft Auto was an 8-bit game that paid homage to every classic game and notable 1980s cultural phenomenon" title had landed everywhere but mobile. It was on desktop (PC, Ma … | Continue reading
Those of you who hang around our forums don't need any introduction to Andy C83. For years he has been one of the most skilled mobile gamers we've ever seen when it comes to speedrunning or setting high scores. If you aren't familiar with Andy, well, just fire up Game Center at p … | Continue reading
Man, how about that Limbo, eh? While certainly not the first silhouette-styled game, it feels like it was the one that sparked off the trend of games using that artistic style after its release in 2010. On mobile this art style is probably most well-known from the Badland series, … | Continue reading
Fans of the kind of node-based RTS popularized by games like Galcon [$1.99] and Tentacle Wars [Free] will want to pay attention to NeoWars.

Twilight Struggle has been one of those board games I've heard a lot about but never managed to play (I lack real life friends).

In early February we caught the first teaser for Choppa, an upcoming Choplifter-inspired side-scrolling rescue game from developer Parta Games. Choppa took the formula of rescuing people and delivering them to safety using a helicopter popularized by Choplifter and added in proce … | Continue reading
LEGO games on iOS are, by this point, nothing if not reliable. Apart from the earliest releases on the platform and the occasional experiment, the LEGO games based on licensed properties all essentially do the same things. They tell (or retell) a humorous story using a selection … | Continue reading
Over the weekend I played through Lost Tracks [Free], an iOS game released by a team of students from The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. Like a lot of student games, it's super experimental, which makes for a pretty neat overall experience. It's one of those weird things … | Continue reading
Every week when we post the new games, there's always at least one person commenting asking where the hell Granblue Fantasy is.

Can you hear that? That's the sound of Hearthstone's [Free] latest expansion, Whispers of the Old Gods, drawing nearer. How nearer, though, remains to be seen. What I do know is that we now know all four of the Old Gods, so I don't think the release is too far off. There's that r … | 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.

A couple of days ago we wrote about the imminent reveal of a game based on the Fear the Walking Dead series.

We hop right into things this week with a bunch of game discussion surrounding Pktball [Free], Chameleon Run [$1.99], Disney Crossy Road [Free], Looty Dungeon [Free] and Kingdom Hearts [Free].

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
We've been posting about it for ages now, and we've got a massive thread going in our forums about it, but for a ton of people the Game Center bug is a serious thing that has stopped them from playing countless iOS games that rely on Game Center to function. If you've got no idea | Continue reading
As we've mentioned before, Crossy Road [Free] found massive success by taking the core gameplay of Frogger, making it endless and 3D, adding a crap-ton of unlockable characters, and stuffing it all into one of the most friendly free to play packages we've ever seen. Games like Do … | Continue reading
While there's a zombie game released every five seconds, there aren't nearly enough alien games out there. I mean sure, there's a handful of titles based on the actual Alien franchise with Xenomorphs running around causing havoc, but think of how many games are around with actual … | Continue reading
