    Rivals at War Review

    By

    The industry is full of modern military shooters of both the first and third-person variety. With so many choices available it can be hard, even for an iOS title, to stand out but turning a military shooter into a collectible card game is certainly one way to go about it. Rivals at War is essentially like playing a Big Win Sports game with guns instead of goals, which turns out to be a fantastic combination.

    Spellstorm Review

    By

    I have to give TinyCo credit for Spellstorm; it's an online card collecting game with enhancements, evolutions, and PvP fighting yet it feels more like an adventure game than a freemium CCG. Of course it's still laden with freemium elements and can be a bit obtuse at times, but it's an unexpectedly interesting game with a passable story and an extensive selection of cards. Plus it's absolutely flippin' gorgeous.

    QuizCross Review

    By

    Trivia is one of those kinds of games that just about anyone can enjoy. So long as they aren't terrible at remembering random facts, anyway. The problem with being a universally enjoyed game is that it can be difficult to capture any attention amidst the sea of titles on offer. This has a lot to do with why I'm so impressed with QuizCross; it changes up the formula quite effectively.

    Epic Mech Wars Review

    By

    Most people like gladiatorial combat. It's been a significant part of human society for centuries. Roman gladiators, arm wrestling, boxers, "professional" wrestlers, MMA fighters, about 50% of Jean Claude Van Damme movies, there's just something about it that pleases a great deal of folks. Naturally the next step is to use robots to cut back on medical expenses, however this particular robot brawler has a very significant drawback.

    Merlin’s Rage Review

    By

    I'm familiar with what it means to belong to a genre. I understand that when a given genre contains multiple titles, those titles will share certain similarities. What I still don't quite get, however, is why I've played Merlin's Rage three separate times now. Each time it was a different title with different art assets, but the core game has been exactly the same. I mean it's fun, but what the heck?

    Zuko Monsters Review

    By

    Nintendo handhelds are still the reigning champs when it comes to monster-collecting RPGs, but that hasn't stopped a number of iOS developers from trying their hand at bringing a similar experience to the App Store. No one's quite pulled it off yet but Zuko Monsters certainly shows promise. That is, until players face-plant into their first major paywall.

    Sword of Inferno Review

    By

    I've developed a kind of love/hate relationship with iOS action RPGs over the years. They're typically fun but have some incredibly dull stories. Or they look absolutely gorgeous but control poorly. It's always something. Sword of Inferno is no different in that "stuff" holds it back from perfection just like all the others, but the core game is far too fantastic for me to really care about that.

    Lies Of Astaroth Review

    By

    Love 'em or hate 'em, iOS CCGs (Collectible Card Games) are here to stay. The genre might be getting a bit oversaturated at this point but the beautiful thing about it is that all games have to compete with each other and, as a result, have begun to splinter off and create their own sub-genres. Lies of Astaroth is one such divergence, and it's made me a firm believer in the potential of card-based adventure games.
