The multiplayer version of Shadowgun from Madfinger Games has arrived in Public Beta form on Google Play moments ago. Having been in closed beta for a short time,the public beta is now available for anyone who owns a Tegra 3 Android device for right now. This public beta will last a week before opening up for more people to join.
Before we dive into this new release for Android, we will just say this in advance that this will be one of those double edged stories. It’s an awesome game with plenty of potential but there is a bit of a set back with it. So what is this new game? It is a new action RPG from Netmarble, a game publisher in Korea, called Justice League: Earth’s Final Defense.
There is a new game out on the Google Play store today that is a free-runner platformer but with a Tron flare to it with it’s futuristic visuals. Developed by Hope This Works Games Inc, Polara will have you playing as Agent Lara who is trying to escape from one hell of a security system. There is a rather unique color switching game mechanic in Polara that you’ll need to master if you play on surviving long enough to get through the game.
The world of exclusive game releases specific to a carrier or chipset rolls on and today the fine folks over at Verizon have gotten in touch with us to let us know that Rigonauts is finally available on Android but is temporarily exclusive to Verizon customers who own an Android device packing a Qualcomm chipset. The exclusivity period is only two weeks though so it isn’t a huge deal aside from the minor annoyance of having to wait the two weeks before the rest of us can play the game.
When Minecraft: Pocket Edition came out on Android it was a great addition to Android gaming in general. While the game has come a long way since it’s initial release to the now current 0.4.0 version, there are still plenty features that are missing from the game. Things like caves, villages, enchanting and so on are key features still needing to make their way to the game. Still, with all of this missing, Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a great game. However, there is one feature that, for the most part, everyone who has Minecraft: Pocket Edition really wants and that is online multiplayer.
One of the games we mentioned when reporting on Gameloft’s Fall line-up for Android not too long ago is called Zombiewood. We didn’t have a whole lot of details about this game at that time but it looks like Zombiewood could be nearing release as Gameloft has started promoting the game with a new trailer.
Over the past few months we have been reporting on Spacetime Studios upcoming MMORPG for Android, iOS and Chrome called Arcane Legends. This new title is a combination of all the features and game mechanics that worked well and were popular in their previous games such as the charge attacks and group combo attacks. The game goes back to a more fantasy theme with visuals closer to what you would find in Star Legends or Pocket Legends, the more cartoon like graphics. There will also be new features that will arrive in Arcane Legends when it launches such as the battle pets system.
A new indie game studio has arrived called Wappworks Studios, a two man team made up of Chris Khoo (an EA alumni) and Chris Ting (a game enthusiast), and they have released their first game for Android called Hyper Grav. This new game is a physics-based action game where you will be taking on mercenaries who have managed to take hostage your society’s sacred symbol, The Arc.
Some time back, we published an editorial entitled “In-App Purchases: The Downfall of Android Gaming?”. In the three months between the article getting published and now, the number of games being released for free, or even paid, that contains IAPs for consumable items have increased exponentially. To be honest, finding a game devoid of some form or another of consumable IAPs these days is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Speaking of the devil, we had mentioned in our previous post today regarding Gameloft who were teasing their My Little Pony game that is heading our way soon and that we are still waiting on Wild Blood to arrive and now it has magically appeared on the Google Play store finally. This is Gameloft’s first official Unreal Engine made game and you’ll be playing as Sir Lancelot who has a world of problems to deal with in this game.
