    Epic Battle Fantasy 4 Review

    By

    When we first heard the name "Epic Battle Fantasy," we can't exactly say it grabbed us, as it doesn't sound like the name of a game with very high aspirations for quality or innovation. On the other hand, if there have been three others to date, then there must be something going for them, even if only a stubborn developer, right?

    There must be something  spooky in the water at Developer HQ (editor's note: this may or may not be an actual place). Just last week, former console veterans High Voltage Software made their App Store debut with the adorable, Halloween-esqe Le Vamp. And as if recovering from cute vampires wasn't hard enough, veteran studio Firaxis (Civilization, XCOM: Enemy Unknown) announced today that they're joining the fray with a new iOS strategy game positively packed with cartoony creatures of the night. When will the fun-filled horror end!?

    What can you do if the country you love is being ripped apart by a bloody war that spans decades? And what if there was no hope of it ending because the monarchs in charge are argumentative and stubborn, impotent drunks, or simply content to watch the world burn? Well, there comes a time when a regular man or woman needs to take up arms. Witching Hour is making it your duty to become a dog of war with Ravenmark: Mercenaries, the iOS follow-up to Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion.

    Slitherine’s Legion Review

    By

    I live in a city with some of the most complete Roman ruins outside Italy. People come from all around the world to see them, and inconsiderately get in my way when I'm shopping or trying to get to work. The fascination with ancient Rome remains undimmed, and manifests itself in many peculiar ways, not least with games such as Legion.

    Worms clones are a dime a dozen these days. Earlier copy-cats like Hedgewarsand GunBound remain a cinch to locate and download today -- for free nonetheless-- while more recent inspirations of Team17's benchmark strategy game continue to pop up across a variety of modern formats. From Facebook to mobile devices, games such as American McGee's Crazy Fairies and Wild Ones strive to replicate Worms's massive success, all while attempting to bring something new to the table.

    Kingdom of Thrones Review

    By

    Setting aside its mildly amusing title (you might as well call it "Kingdom of Crowns" or "Kingdom of Kings"), the first thing you'll notice about Kingdom of Thrones is how it looks like it first saw life when strategy video games were first popping up back in the 1980s. In some ways, that's part of its appeal. Too many contemporary social strategy games try to hide the limitations of their gameplay behind flashy visuals and animations, but Kingdom of Thrones has the guts to toss that fluff aside in favor of creating an engaging and immersive multiplayer experience. And to its credit, it usually works.

    PWN: Combat Hacking Review

    By

    Unless you're off the grid, digital security is now a part of your life, and SimCity has made it abundantly clear that being a gamer and being off the grid are now mutually exclusive. It's no surprise that the next generation of games will place players in the hacker role more often, but Quadrilateral Cowboy this game isn't. PWN: Combat Hacking is more akin to a hacking mini-game spun off from a AAA title than something that approximates Anonymous wish fulfillment. Does this frantic digital tug of war reprogram your brain for fun, or just make you want to log off?
