Unseen Liminality Walkthrough
By Meriel Green
Unseen Liminality is an unusual bit of Roblox horror, in that it actually got me once or twice. I’ve put some hours into this Kane Pixels’ Backrooms-themed horror title recently, and while it’s in its early stages of development, it …

Dragon Quest IV Coming to iOS, Android

In June, Square-Enix released a mobile port of Dragon Quest VIII for Western audiences. The port was a success, and it looks like the dragon party isn’t screeching to a halt just yet: An English version of Dragon Quest IV: …

The original version of Dragon Quest IV was released for the Famicom in 1990. It received a translation for the NES in 1992, but it was released (as Dragon Warrior IV) in limited quantities and remains a pretty rare find. A Nintendo DS remake of the game was translated in 2008, and it’s this version that’s being ported over to iOS.

Dragon Quest IV is obviously lower-tech than Dragon Quest VIII, but it’s by no means a primitive game. It features a branching storyline that’s broken up into five distinct chapters. The scattered heroes introduced in the first four chapters eventually meet up and work to take down an evil threat. Lots of dragon-slaying ensues.

There’s no word on when the localized version of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen hits the App Store or Google Play. Gamescom is open to the public from August 14 through 17, so if you’re in the neighborhood, give it a try.

The Tribez Review
By Alicia Ashby
The Tribez may sound like a civilization building game, but it's actually just a typical iOS city builder wearing a very elaborate, cleverly designed coat of paint. You play as someone from the modern day who finds a lost underwater civilization. Treated as a messiah figure by the villagers, you're roped into helping them develop their civilization, which means the usual CityVille-style grind of erecting buildings, leveling them up, collecting resources, and expanding your territory. Where The Tribez parts way with CityVille is in its philosophy toward social interaction and microtransactions.
