Chaos Fighters Review
Considering that we live in a time of virtually non-stop sensory overload, Chaos Fighters is a mobile RPG that's well suited for right now. Coco Entertainment has managed to craft a game where your anime-styled fighters always has something to do - and so will you, thanks to its dizzying array of ways to power up your characters. It's stylish, to be sure, but there's a lack of steak beneath the sizzle that keeps it from achieving its full potential.Fans of JRPG humor and character designs will best appreciate the game's opening, which explains why there's chaos to be fought, and the scantily clad female assistant who guides you through your first steps into combat and character progression. As it turns out, the latter is considerably more involved than the former.More precisely, combat in Chaos Fighters is a spectator sport. The preparation is everything, from choosing your fighters mix of skills from a selection that grows as he or she levels up, to making sure your gear is upgraded and as maxed out on stats as possible. Once the battles start, there's nothing you can do to influence the outcome, as the AI plays both sides according to the percentage chances that special abilities will activate and the attributes and stats that govern their basic attacks.
Fairway Solitaire Blast Review
There was a time - let's call it "the nineties" - when Solitaire was seemed like the most popular PC game of all. Not because people loved it, mind you, but because it was free and came bundled with Windows. Still though, people grew to love it. As a classic card game that we're all familiar with, the "just one more game" pull of solitaire has always been hard to avoid.Despite its popularity, solitaire went years before it got a truly decent upgrade. Plenty of gamemakers had tried, mind you, but it took Big Fish Games to really hit on a winning formula. Combining elements of golf and cards, the original Fairway Solitaire debuted back in 2007 and has since been followed by a litany of releases. You probably know it best by its second iteration, which became something of a cult classic after its port to mobile devices back in 2012. If you've played either of these, there's a good chance that you already know that Big Fish + solitaire is a winning combination.Fairway Solitaire Blast is the latest release in the franchise, and the first that's built from the ground up with mobile gamers in mind. In fact, at the time of this writing, it's a mobile exclusive.
Heroine’s Quest Review
There's a simple test to decide if Heroine's Quest is right for you. If you played, enjoyed, and pined for more Quest for Glory games, you've passed the test. You should be playing Heroine's Quest right now. As a spiritual successor and homage to Sierra's RPG-slash-adventure series, Crystal Shard's modern installment feels right at home amidst its inspirations, and could easily slip into a library of their ranks unnoticed. It brings with it a full-sized world and story, updated gameplay (a point-and-click engine, not the original text parser), and plenty of charm and tongue-in-cheek humor that would have matched wits with Sierra back in the day.Gamers unfamiliar with Quest for Glory may need a bit more direction in their decision tree. Although Quest for Glory and Heroine's Quest look like standard point-and-click adventure games at first glance, this is far from the truth. They are role-playing games, with random encounters, battles, side quests, armor, and skills to contend with. Your Heroine will fight trolls, level up, grow hungry, agree to help villagers, sometimes fail to help villagers, and explore a large, open world. Point-and-click adventuring still comes into play, though, and there is plenty of item collecting, puzzle solving, and dialogue-branching throughout the game's more active—and open-ended—quests.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review
If hope springs eternal, then very few places see it sprout as often as in the garden of mobile games based on super hero movies. Gameloft is trying again with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, learning something from its past missteps but still not hitting the mark with something that's as awesome as it seems it could be.As the movie by the same name hasn't been released in the U.S. yet (lucky overseas audiences!), there's no way for me to tell you if the game contains spoilers. What I can relay is that New York is under attack by multiple criminal conglomerates with acronyms for names, and Cap has to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. agents into the fray to set things right. Presumably, the Winter Soldier is also involved at some point.It's easy enough to put Steve Rogers' legendary skills into action, tapping on enemies to attack them hand-to-hand or swiping to target them with a thrown shield. Just like in the comics, Captain America can make some nifty tosses that ricochet off surfaces and hit multiple targets. There's an option to use a virtual thumbstick and attack button instead, but only masochists would want to do that.
Evil Genius Online Review
To be blunt, Tears for Fears got it wrong. I wouldn't want to rule the world in its current state. It's just too much hassle. Now if I could do it in the style of a James Bond villain, well, that's a different story. Evil Genius Online helps you do just that, assembling an army of henchmen and an array of cool gizmos fit for global domination. It's all done with a wink, helping elevate what is otherwise a pretty average social game experience.If that opening paragraph gave you thoughts of Gru from the first Despicable Me or the Monarch from Venture Bros., you're on the right track. That's if you didn't play the original Evil Genius, the PC game released back in 2004. In any case, Evil Genius Online gives you an abandoned government silo, an ambitious assistant named Penny Foxworth and a couple of Minions to get your career as a criminal mastermind underway.
Star Wars: Assault Team Review
I imagine a fair number of people were of the "oh great, another Star Wars card game" opinion when Star Wars: Assault Team was announced, and I can't say I blame them. But while it does make use of a few unfortunate monetization techniques, it's actually not a bad time. In fact, it's kind of clever.As with most Star Wars games these days, Assault Team just can't seem to avoid using notable characters from the movies. On the one hand, as a fan of the franchise, I think it's about time to start exploring the expanded universe a bit more (or even create new characters entirely). But on the other, I can see why LucasArts would want to stick with the names most of the general public will be familiar with.It all starts with Han Solo finding himself trapped on a Star Destroyer and fighting his way to freedom. As he blasts through teams of Storm Troopers during the tutorial missions, he'll start to round up a decent team of fellow prisoners - as well as reunite with Chewbacca of course - and then it's on to the game proper.
Hello Hero Review
As modern games get tougher, greyer, and grittier, we can count on Korean-made role-playing games to get cuter. Hello Hero, a free-to-play social RPG by Fincon, might be the most adorable game to exist up to this point thanks to its myriad recruitable monsters. The ability to sway baddies onto your side makes Hello Hero a fun game to settle into for a while, though character growth can be excruciatingly slow if you're not willing to pay for it.Hello Hero takes place in a monster-plagued world that's troubled by demon worship. Heroes are needed to put things right. Preferably, a lot of heroes led by you.Your party travels across several maps, each one marked with battlefields. When a battlefield is entered, your heroes stand on the lower left side of the screen, while the bad guys stand on the upper right side (as is proper custom). The heroes and monsters then exchange blows.
Escape Goat 2 Review
Released in late 2011 for the Xbox 360 and then in the summer of 2012 for the PC, Escape Goat was a quirky puzzle-platformer about both a goat imprisoned in a deadly, trapped-filled dungeon for the crime of practicing witchcraft, and an immortal, magical mouse who helps him escape. Quirky, and also very good if you like that sort of thing, although not particularly easy on the eyes: I noted in my review that the retro-style graphics were "adequate for the task but not much else."Escape Goat 2 is "problem solved," as they say. It's essentially the original Escape Goat all over again, but with more puzzles - more than 100 in total - and a very pleasing visual update. The Goat is back, imprisoned again along with his magic Mouse buddy and a flock of not-terribly-motivated sheep, this time deep within the Stronghold of Toragos. None have ever escaped - but you're the Escape Goat!
