Under The Radar is a new column that we will be doing from time to time (it isn’t necessarily a weekly thing), the purpose of which is to showcase some good games that we may not have been able to publish as full articles on our website. Ultimately, smaller developers get vital exposure for their games and you get to have more games to play on your plate. Let us know if you know of any obscure new titles in the comments section!

Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP Review – An otherworldly experience but a frustrating game

Let me get this off my chest first – I am no fan of 8-bit, pixel art games. As such, I ignored Superbrothers: Swords & Sworcery EP when it got released on the iPad over a year and a half ago. I still ignored it when it came out on the Humble Bundle for Android 4 recently. However, once it got a proper release on Google Play, I decided to finally take up the game, see what all the hype is about and then do a review. So, here I am now. How did I find the game?

Another game vanishes from Google Play, this time its Sega’s Fallen Realms

Back in October of this year we reported on Trendy Entertainment’s Dungeon Defenders games vanishing from the Google Play store. Later that day Trendy Entertainment confirmed that they had pulled both games from Google Play but never specified why, just that it would be back at some point. It’s now the end of December and checking the forum thread regarding this on the Dungeon Defenders‘ website show no new information on when it will come back. The copies on Amazon’s AppStore have also been pulled. Another game however has been yanked and this time it’s Sega’s Fallen Realm.

PSA: Avoid downloading anything from a developer named ‘apkdeveloper’

From time to time some ass hat has to go ripping off other peoples work in order to further their idiotic attempt at infecting as many Android devices with malware as they can. It is one of the drawbacks we have to deal with once in awhile with having an open market place and usually things are pretty decent. A newly found developer going by the name of ‘apkdeveloper’ however who is trying to do exactly that.
