Trouserheart Review
By Nadia Oxford
What is man's best friend? Is it the canine? Nay! Man's best friend be his trusty trousers! But as 10tons' Trouserheart demonstrates, just as a dog may bite the hand that feeds him, a hero's pants can similarly decide to go rogue. When that happens, said hero must go on a sword-swinging adventure to retrieve his pantaloons, though the journey may be drafty.Trouserheart casts you as a powerful king who has everything he wants—or so he thinks. When his pants are nicked by a goblin, the king quickly realizes that the Lord had always intended for man and pants to be as one. So begins your bare-assed journey to find your trousers.Trouserheart is a hack-and-slash game that carries a whiff of The Legend of Zelda. You progress from room to room, and each one is filled with enemies like Goblins, Jelly Cubes, and ever-deadly Derp Knights. You have a virtual d-pad for moving, and an attack button for swinging your sword. That's as complicated as things get.Gang Lords Review
By Rob Rich
So much of Gang Lords seems derivative. Players collect a menagerie of character cards, upgrade and evolve their forces, and create a team of the most powerful gangsters they can find so that they can decimate the opposition. It's a lot of the kinds of things we've seen before, really. The thing is, while it's a familiar setup, the actual gameplay feels refreshingly complex.The management side of things in Gang Lords should feel pretty familiar to many freemium gamers. Cards can be leveled up in the usual manner: by sacrificing low-end feeders and spending a little in-game cash. Evolutions require fully leveled cards and special supplemental evo cards. Other players can be recruited for a fight so that their Leaders can join in the fun. And, of course, there's an energy mechanic that prevents players from picking too many fights at once."The fights are something else entirely, though. Two gangs square off on opposing sides of the screen and players have to make careful use of their characters in order to come out on top. There's an admittedly familiar rock-paper-scissors mechanic at play that allows Green cards to trump Blue, Blue to trump Red, and so on; but there's a lot more to it than that. Each gangster has a set number of turns they have to wait between attacks, and this value can vary greatly. At the same time, players can sacrifice a card's turn to "support" another, giving it an attack/defense boost and knocking one turn off their activation counter. It's this support mechanic that makes a huge difference in how one tackles each fight.Fading Fairytales Review
By Nadia Oxford
It's already common knowledge that most of Disney's feature films - Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, et al - are highly sanitized versions of fairytales penned by the likes of Hans Christian Andersen and the appropriately-named Brothers Grimm. Fading Fairytales is a turn-based strategy RPG that recalls the darker days of our favorite stories. The title's setting and character designs are a lot of fun, but the gameplay tells a slow, familiar story. Trouble has come to the land of fairytales. Darkness has settled over the storybook worlds, and old-time heroes like Robin Hood and Pinocchio have turned bad as a result. Three heroes pledge to save their home: Amon the anteater, Middle the bear, and Natadak the platypus ("not a duck" - get it?). Luckily, Gepetto has cobbled together a machine that frees the heroes from the darkness, but in order to get the heroes to take their medicine, you need to take down their henchmen first."And oh, there are henchmen. Tons and tons of henchmen. Battle after battle is thrown at you, and each one is as lively as Snow White was after she went on her poisoned apple binge. If you've played a mobile turn-based RPG, then you already have a good idea of what to expect from Fading Fairytales. You and your opponents take turns moving across a battlefield. When you get close to one another, an exchange of blows ensues. There are also characters capable of delivering long-range attacks, and others that can heal allies or mess up the enemies' stats. The battle ends when one side has been annihilated.Infinity Blade III Review
By Jim Squires
If your first reaction to another Infinity Blade is "really? again?," you're not alone. I too was a doubting Thomas. As nice as it is to see a franchise doing well, I'm also a fan of letting a developer stretch their legs, so to speak. As a fan of Chair's earlier game Shadow Complex, as well as a gamer whose heart broke at the cancellation of Infinity Blade Dungeons, my interest in seeing them go to the same well again was lukewarm at best.And then I played it.Infinity Blade III is a lot like that worn blanket you'll never get rid of. It's familiar, but never tired - and it's all too easy to get yourself wrapped up. And like that worn blanket, you'll never want to put it down.Surface: The Pantheon Review
By John Anthony
Elephant Games has rolled out another entry in the Surface series, this time bringing a more noir-flavored approach to storytelling. Surface: The Pantheon follows Gina as she travels through a world that is literally turned inside-out and filled with strange creatures, magical landscapes, and a unique mythology. The game easily lives up to the standards set by previous releases, providing a solid puzzle solving experience with great visuals and inventive hidden object scenes.A fantastic new tunnel has been built leading through the heart of the Ridge of Leviathan, and the Capital Express train is about to make its historic first run through it. Your husband and daughter are already aboard, but someone bumps into you and spills your luggage as you rush across the station. The delay causes you to miss the train, but that's not even the worst part. The Capital Express enters the tunnel but never emerges on the other side, vanishing somewhere in the mountain. For months researchers attempt to determine what happened, but eventually the tunnel is shut down, leaving the disappearance a mystery."Gina never really moves on from the loss of her family. A year later she's at the tunnel entrance when a strange man approaches her from the other side of the gate. Dr. Martin Bors, a somewhat radical sort of scientist, claims he has a way to find out what transpired on that fateful day. He needs your help to recreate the conditions at the time of the train's disappearance. Gina goes along with it, hoping to finally reunite with her long-lost husband and daughter.Boson X Review
By Mike Rose
Boson X is essentially the spiritual sequel to glorious hair-pulling action game Super Hexagon. Cylindrically-shaped levels? Check. Fast-paced, randomly-generated action that keeps you on your toes every single moment of play? Check. A base difficulty so severe that you may accidentally smash your iPhone to pieces after you die for the umpteenth time? Oh yes, it's all there.But this rotational runner is far from just another Super Hexagon, as the game offers a massively unique take on the endless runner genre. The variety on show here is simply wonderful, and the difficulty factor coupled with the online leaderboards means that we'll no doubt be coming back for more again and again.You are a professor who has become caught in a massive particle accelerator. By jumping from platform to platform you can keep him safe from the high-energy particles dancing around him, and hopefully build up enough energy that you'll manage to discover some new particles along the way.The Raven: Episode 3 – A Murder of Ravens Review
By Andy Chalk
The final episode of The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief has arrived, and all the secrets of the greatest thief Europe has ever seen are finally laid bare! The third chapter in this international adventure doesn't finish quite as strongly as the first part began, but the payoff is definitely worth the effort.The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief isn't your conventional video game. Set in 1964, it's an Agatha Christie-style romp across Europe and into Egypt, starring a paunchy Swiss police constable searching for relevance in his declining years, a gentleman master thief who's taken a mysterious turn to vicious violence, his young, idealistic protégé, and a colorful supporting cast including an obsessed French police inspector, a German doctor with a dark secret, an Italian ship's captain left broken by two wars, and many others. It's interspersed with puzzles, as adventures generally are, but there's no question that in The Raven, the story's the thing."(Oh - There are spoilers within. Consider yourself warned!)Battle Camp Review
Social games get a bad rap, but in condemning them, critics often miss the creativity and fun to be had from such games. New match-three RPG Battle Camp has to plead guilty to everything the genre is vilified for—repetitiveness, microtransactions, and invasive social media mechanics—but it also contains a goodly amount of light-hearted entertainment as well.Despite having a good portion of fun to offer, Battle Camp makes a poor first impression by immediately slapping you with multiple registration prompts. These aren't necessary, but they look as if they are, and their sheer number could be enough to prevent some gamers from playing. Also oddly off-putting is the utter lack of intro. The game just starts with a tutorial, providing no sort of "how do you do?" and nothing to contextualize what you're doing. If you manage to get past this obstacle-strewn, awkward start, however, there's some interesting stuff in store.After creating a character from a handful of male/female presets, you find yourself at camp learning the game's basic mechanics from a cute little penguin. In your possession are a handful of cute little elemental monsters, and the idea is to wander around challenging other people's cute little monsters to fight. Each battle you engage in costs one energy (yes, Battle Camp uses the insidious energy system), and in a turn-based setup, each side attacks by matching three or more elemental icons on a 6x5 board.
