Fantastica is a collectible card battle game with a twist: Instead of a straight-up numbers game, units - which is to say, your cards - must be deployed strategically in tower defense battles against enemies both on the ground and in the air. That extra layer of strategy gives it a depth that other games in the genre can't match, even as it lags behind them in more conventional CCG features.
Fantasica is an RPG/tower-defense hybrid from Mobage. Build your army by collecting and enhancing various cards, call on your friends to assist you in battle, and defeat powerful bosses and uncover unique artifacts along the way. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best.
A week ago, I reported on the speculation that Square Enix's cult classic RPG The World Ends With You would be making the jump from Nintendo DS to iOS. As it turns out, speculation was right! So for most of the days that followed, I've been lost in dystopian Shibuya, Japan, determined to see if this version - dubbed Solo Remix - would be as strong an offering as the original. As it turns out, it isn't: it's much stronger.
Dungeons, by definition, are not nice places. They're usually dank and deep. They are equipped with chains and racks and iron maidens -- implements that, generally speaking, are not designed to bring pleasure. The dungeon is a place of imprisonment. When you do something wrong, you're placed in one as punishment. You'd think that, considering the dark nature of the dungeon, people would be less inclined to visit them.
Where "gotta catch em' all" used to be a slogan referring to just one set of adorable monsters, it's long since taken on new significance. Arguably, it's just as tough a job these days to catch all the monster-rearing games available. Well, completionists beware, because there's a new kid on the block from the folks at Zynga: Montopia. Seriously, I want a game about where all these things are coming from.
Starlight Story, the upcoming browser-based MMO from Aeria Games, will set players off on a race to save a slowly-dying planet from its inevitable doom.
Dwarf Quest is a lot of fun. It's a fine example of why independent game development is a good thing for us gamers. Dwarf Quest takes a tired genre and does something new with it. I've never played a game that works quite like it before. Unique equals good in my book. Unfortunately, a unique idea is not always enough to make a game.
Dungelot promises to bring roguelikes to the masses, with lush graphics, plenty of humor and accessible gameplay designed to get even the most novice of players into the action quickly and easily.
