So by now most people are familiar with the fact that Shadowrun Returns, one of two Shadowrun games that had successful Kickstarter campaigns recently, will be coming to Android tablets when it is released. We recently posted a piece of concept art which gave us a quick look at the environment and how characters will look in it.
Alright, maybe our title is a bit of a friendly jab at Nevosoft who has released almost nothing but hidden objects games. Well it seems as though they are branching out a bit more, moving into the strategy gaming genre and their newest release, LandGrabbers, falls right into that category.
Back in July of this year we talked about a game that would be arriving soon from Chillingo called Critter Escape. Developed by Kiz Studios, this little gem of a game will have you playing as a Mud Mutant who is trying to escape from the laboratory you are being held prisoner in where you are being experimented on.
Gameloft released their financial earning and future plans today and while the numbers they announced are quite impressive, the real news was in the fact that they plan to release 20 games between now and the end of 2012, if all goes according to plan of course. Interestingly enough, in that announcement, Gameloft let the cat out of the bag regarding some unannounced games heading our way. Modern Combat 4 anyone?
So it is time for another look at Quality Index and their list of top games for Android, this time for July 2012. The last time we posted a Top 10 from Quality Index, the top ten list was made up of almost nothing but indie developer titles which really says a lot. So is July’s list any different? Let’s take a look shall we.
Back in the days of emulating consoles on your PC, a giant slowly rose from the very bottom to give us a nice and compatible experience in the field of PSX emulation. Almost everyone who used a Playstation had innumerable hours with emulators after that small (or big and squared) piece of hardware got burnt out after so much playing. Now, a well known emulator comes back to life in the form of an Android app, meet ePSXe…again.
Hero Mages from D20 Studios is one of the more detailed and deep turn-based strategy RPG titles to come out for mobile. It has already won a fair amount of awards for the technical aspects of the game and is even getting a physical board game released by Game Salute which is pretty much the first time a mobile game, Android or otherwise, has become an actual board game. There are plenty of mobile games that are existing board games but not the other way around.
Rovio’s next game in the Angry Birds universe is actually the one we have been talking about for months on and off. The new game, which originally was rumored to be focused on the Pig’s side of the story, was later confirmed in August and now we have a release date for Bad Piggies. We also know a little bit more about what this game will actually be.
Herocraft’s Majesty series of games, consisting of the original game and the Northern Expansion, have had quite the fan-base since they were released. Well today we have a bit of a double-edged sword regarding an update that has pushed out for the Northern Expansion. While the action strategy game received more content today, it also looks like the series may be ending.
Broken Sword – The Serpent’s Curse confirmed for Android, Kickstarter campaign almost fully funded
Last week we talked about the newest addition to the Broken Sword point-and-click adventure game series, called The Serpent’s Curse, and the fact it was up on Kickstarter looking for $400K in funding. It was announced that it would be also coming to mobile devices including Android but there seems to have been a bit of confusion about that fact.
