Clear Your Weekend: FTL and Hearthstone are now on the iPad

Strategy gamers, prepare yourselves for a double dose of fun. Two of the best-loved PC games of the last few years have just hit the iPad, and both games seems as if they were designed from the ground-up with tablets in mind (and in the case of Hearthstone, it really was!)

FTL is a spaceship management roguelike-like that send players on a trip through the galaxy, on a quest to survive as long as they can. It was incredibly well-received in its 2012 debut (and earned four stars here at Gamezebo), but the iPad version took its sweet time coming out. Why? Because this is the debut of FTL: Advanced Edition.

If you already own the PC version, Advanced Edition is available as a free expansion today as well – and it brings oodles and oodles of changes. I could list them here, but why bother when the developer has done a great job of it right here?

Hearthstone is a much newer PC darling – the game only left open beta last month – but in that time it’s already amassed a massive following. Here’s the part of the article where I’m going to break your heart, though: the iPad version is out now, but only in select regions. That’s right – it’s a soft launch. So if you’re in Canada, Australia or New Zealand, it’s time to get your Hearthstone on. If you’re not… well… maybe it’s time to move.

Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.
