Today we have a new game for fans of mech fighting titles that pretty much includes everything you would like to have in a well strategy-oriented game. And that’s done thanks to Shiny Shoe, a dev studio that has just released their first game OffWorld on Android, published by 6waves, best known for their space shooter Strikefleet Omega.
Day: 25 September 2012
Originally released onto Android and iOS in Japan as Karakuri Conquista, this social RPG based around the world of Steampunk has now arrived onto English speaking shores as Conquista Fantasia. Released by Funnel Inc and developed by Nijibox, this new RPG features a pretty big single-player storyline as well as PvP gameplay.
There is a new head-to-head brawler available on the Google Play store called Healthy Weapon, Developed by Ludosity, Healthy Weapon is the ‘first proper fighting game for touchscreen’ devices, or at least according to the developers anyways. Judging from the control scheme though, it works out rather well indeed.
Great Big War Game by Rubicon Development is another title in a line of charming turn-based strategy games that is simple to learn but packs many hours of entertainment. Sure, these tiny little soldiers are adorable to look at but killing is their business and business is often pretty darn good. You start out by passing through a series of basic tutorials but soon enough find yourself within the thick of it for real. The enemy can be hidden by a fog of war but, if you’re like me and prefer to have it terribly easy at first, there is an optional toggle that lights up the entire battlefield. After I got used to the game I meant to turn it back on, I really did, but I was having too much fun to notice. I’m not much of a warrior, obviously.
Yesterday we brought you news about the ‘official’ unveiling of the next installment into the Modern Combat series called Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour. Thanks to a leaked trailer from the Tokyo Game Show, we know it’s coming this Fall to Android as well and got to learn a little about the storyline and see a little gameplay. Now Gameloft has released a much bigger trailer, showcasing a lot more of the gameplay as well.
Tuesday Afternoon Humor: Iran Video Game Foundation goes after Angry Birds over cyber warfare claims
Regardless of what country this would have come from, the fact that you can accuse a video game, and the company, with cyber warfare is an amusing concept but that is exactly what is happening with Rovio over two levels in the recent “Fry Me to the Moon” update for Angry Birds Space by the Iran Computer & Video Game Foundation. The charge? The two levels in Angry Birds Space are anti-Iranian levels in theme.
If you have ever been a comic fan to any sort of degree then you’ve probably heard, seen or read at least one issue of a Usagi Yojimbo comic.
