Three games currently in soft launches you should check out if you can, global releases coming soon

Over the past few days there have been a few games that have been released as a soft launch specific to certain countries in like Canada, Australia and a few others, order to test to make sure they are all running good. Two of these games we’ve talk about in the past already, covering their inevitable release onto Android, and both are being published by EA. These games are Dungeon Keeper and Heroes of Dragon Age. The third game is actually from LucasArts called Tiny Death Star.

Dungeon Keeper, for those of you who missed our previous coverage, players will be placed in the role of being the overlord of your very own underground dungeon. This means you’re not the good guy in this game but actually the bad guy instead. You’ll need to build up your dungeon with different areas while having to make sure you have the proper defenses in place to deal with heroes in the realm wanting a piece of your loot or just your head.

So essentially Dungeon Keeper is a blend of city building, tower defense and strategy gaming. While there is single-player content available, players will also be able to go up against other players by invading their dungeons. We were correct in guessing that this would be a free-to-play game so it’ll cost you nothing to download if you have access to it.

The second game now currently in a soft launch is Heroes of Dragon Age which we have also talked about already. This game is being developed by the former BioWare Sacramento studio which is now called EA Capital. This is a rather cool looking game that takes influence from physical tablet top games like Warhammer in style.

Players will form squads of heroes, which can include creatures as well, and battle it out with the bad guys. As progress through the game you will be able to collect more heroes and creatures (a different rarities of each) to use and fine tune your squads with. While there are plenty of quests to complete and boss fights to enjoy, multiplayer does look like it will be apart of the game as well.

Lastly we have yesterday’s release of Tiny Death Star by LucasArts. If the game’s style looks familiar that is because this was a collaboration with between LucasArts/Disney and NimbleBit. In fact the game is a lot like NimbleBit’s hit game Tiny Tower in that you will be building the Death Star, albeit a tiny one, with over 80 types of Star Wars themed residential and commercial floors.

Of course you have the Bitizens as well (over 30 unique species) who will come and visit/live in the Death Star as it is being build. This does include Wookiees and Ewoks which makes this an automatic win already. You’ll also be able to build secret areas where you’re building up the Dark Side’s forces and can even capture Rebel spies as they try to check things out.

All three games are available to download for free and all three contain IAPs although from what we can tell they are not really game breaking if you don’t buy them. As for global release dates and current availability, Tiny Death Star is available for residents of Australia and possibly another country or two. Both Dungeon Keeper and Heroes of Dragon Age are available in Canada, Australia, Singapore and a few other countries. No word on when the global launch will be for Tiny Death Star and Heroes of Dragon Age although it should be pretty soon. Dungeon Keeper is slated for a global release ‘this Winter’.
