Ah, boxing. The grunts of modern gladiators, the smack of blood hitting the canvas, the crunch of breaking cartilage—will not be found in Punch Hero for iOS. Gamevil's boxing title doesn't offer a very serious take on the sport, but it also doesn't wallow in the goofy, simple fun that was achieved by Nintendo's Punch-Out!! a full 28 years ago. The constant hocking of in-app purchases doesn't exactly lend the game a sporting atmosphere, either.
One of the biggest problems facing RPGs is the stagnation of turn-based combat. While it's not something that ruins every game, it's hard to deny that constantly clicking through a menu with limited interaction is very engaging. Juggernaut: Revenge of Sovereign breaks through this mold with an overhand swing by creating a touch-based combat system that's fun and surprisingly deep. Did I mention that it has great visuals and is free to play?
It's become a popular gaming cliché over the past several years that Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) are dead. Maybe they're just resting, waiting for more players to discover them. Atlus is hoping that is indeed the case, giving a new lease on life to Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine, a free-to-play MMORPG installment of the popular MegaTen franchise.
The first thing you're likely to notice about Conquer 3 Kingdoms is that despite being billed as an RPG, the actual game is more akin to classic arcade beat-em-ups like Double Dragon. Instead of roaming around on an open fantasy landscape, you're restricted to a limited side-scrolling area, and must do battle with hordes of enemies. In fact, it's arguable that LeTang mixes the arcade formula up a bit by throwing in conventional RPG elements like character levels, inventory and skill points. Unfortunately, the game is never able to elevate itself beyond much more than frantically mashing buttons.
Everybody like Pokemon, am I right? Well what if there was a space Pokemon? And what if instead of Nintendo, it was developed by Ratchet & Clank progenitors Insomniac Games? And on Facebook? And free?Well then I suppose you'd have Outernauts.
Will Fight For Food is a role-playing...fighting game? Two genres that you don't often see slapped together. Imagine a 2D side-scrolling RPG with areas to explore, items to collect and fetch quests galore, then throw in a truckload of button-bashing fighting sequences. Let it simmer for a few hours, and you've got this latest release from Pyrodactyl Games.
Dungeon Crawlers isn't just the name of a genre anymore. Now that genre is also the name of a game! Not all that surprisingly it's about, well, dungeon crawling. Sure, they're not winning any points for brazen titles, but it has everything you could want in aDiablo-esque dungeon exploring game. Goblins, oozes, treasures, weapons, magic and... Ghostbusters references?
