Anodyne Review: A Retro Action-RPG that made a great jump from PC to Android

On May 13, 2014 8:04 pm, by Ryan Ballard

Anodyne is a single-player, top-down, Action-RPG for the Android platform. I’m quite fond of this style of game as it recalls memories of playing the older Legend of Zelda titles from my childhood, where you go off adventuring through strange lands and find helpful items and interesting characters to chat with along the way. While Anodyne has these features and they really make this game an enjoyable experience to play all the way through, it also has a look and feel that is very distinct from other Action-RPGs, and is quite unique to itself.

Swordigo Review: The Return of the Platformer is Finally Here

With devices nowadays becoming more and more powerful, good platformer games are harder to come by. Platformer games in the mobile segment often offer too little to get gamers hooked. It is understandable as fully-rendered 3D adventure games often offer more customization and content altogether thus increasing expectations, even for 2D platformers. Swordigo is a mobile platformer that does not fall into the same pit that most games of this genre do. The guys over at Touch Foo outdid themselves on this one as Swordigo follows the side-scrolling genre while implementing the same elements of surprise and puzzle solving reminiscent of classic platformers like the Mega Man and Tomba! series.

This was also a difficult thing because we actually had to make a decision on who to take on as new writers.

Sega’s current hit in Japan called Dragon Coins has now been released globally on Android for gamers located everywhere else. This new game is a monster collecting game but it doesn’t fall into the TCG genre but instead uses a coin dropping mechanic for the combat. By coin dropping we mean those games that have a moving tray and the coins drop once they are pushed over the edge of the platform.
