Maze Machina (iOS<\/a> & Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\nAs we noted last week, Arnold Rauers and TinyTouchTales have a new game, which was released earlier this week. Maze Machina<\/em> follows similar veins to past works like Card Crawl<\/em> or Card Thief<\/em>, but there doesn\u2019t appear to be the same kind of progression mechanics. Michael\u2019s review will be with us ASAP, so keep an eye out for that.<\/p>\n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F14-tmgeRdQ]<\/p>\n
Pascal\u2019s Wager (iOS<\/a>)<\/h3>\nThis game attempts to answer the question \u201cWhat if we made Dark Souls for mobile?\u201d<\/em>. Gritty, difficult, action-RPG are just a few words you could use to describe it. Depending on how much it actually is like Dark Souls<\/em>, I\u2019m sure you could use more vulgar words as well. It\u2019s a pretty reasonable price for a game of this visual fidelity, and early indications suggest it works quite well on iOS devices right now. We\u2019ll add this to the review list and get back to you ASAP. Android users, don\u2019t despair – a port is due later this year.<\/p>\n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4eQE6_N2u70?controls=0]<\/p>\n
If you liked Call of Duty<\/em>\u2019s mobile incarnation, it might interest you to know that another popular FPS title has made the jump the mobile as well – Warface<\/em> has never really been seen a \u2018true\u2019 competitor to COD<\/em> and Battlefield<\/em>, but it\u2019s been doing the \u2018F2P Shooter\u2019 thing for while now (it was first released in 2013!) and still going strong. The mobile version is called Warface: Global Operations<\/em> and is available on both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a>, still Free-to-Play.<\/p>\n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dBeXn8tAXUA?controls=0]<\/p>\n
Last but not least, Space Grunts 2<\/em><\/a> is now out on Android<\/a>, if any of you have been waiting for the Google Play version.<\/p>\nApp Updates & News<\/h2>\n
What would you get if you decided to merge 100-Player Battle Royale and Auto Chess? Well, according to Ubisoft, you\u2019d get Might & Magic: Chess Royale<\/em><\/a>, which is a new game coming at the end of the month. I\u2019m personally quite a fan of Auto Chess games, although I\u2019m not a big Battle Royale player (Fortnite<\/em> is fun enough if you\u2019ve got someone to play it with).<\/p>\nI don\u2019t really understand how this can be a thing, but the press blurb claim matches won\u2019t take longer than 10 minutes, so that addresses my main concern. We\u2019ll find out more on January 30th.<\/p>\n

Narcos<\/em> is a Netflix you may or may not have seen by now (not really my thing, but I know it\u2019s fairly popular) following the family-friendly saga of the rise of the cocaine trade in Colombia in the late 80\u2019s. It had a surprisingly decent (if tragically flawed) turn-based strategy spin-off game<\/a> on PC and Console and now it\u2019s getting a mobile spin-off in the form of\u2026 an Idle Clicker game. Yeah. Check out this bad boy<\/a>.<\/p>\nYou might also be excited to know that Playdek\u2019s latest board game port, Labyrinth: The War on Terror, 2001 – ?<\/em> will be entering early access on Steam at the end of February. No word on a mobile version yet but we know Playdek will want to bring it mobile eventually, so it\u2019s good to see progress being made.<\/p>\nIn terms of individual app updates, there\u2019s a few:<\/p>\n
\n- Star Traders: Frontiers<\/em> continues to be Best Traders.<\/li>\n
- Santorini<\/em> got a minor update<\/li>\n
- Call of Duty: Mobile<\/em>\u2019s Third Season has started<\/li>\n
- DOTA Underlords<\/em> got a new balance\/tweak patch<\/li>\n
- Black Desert Mobile <\/em>has got a new World Boss, as well as the Node War PvP mode we’ve spoken about before<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
App Sales<\/h2>\n
It appears to be another week where there\u2019s nothing really to shout about in terms of sales, so I thought I\u2019d take a moment to clarify how I go about populating this section.<\/p>\n
Games go on sale all the time, but I tend to stick to the ones we\u2019ve covered, or at least more obviously within our ball-park. Sometimes though you see the same games go on sale repeatedly, and they\u2019re not always the best price. For example Klarus Victoria (Predynastic Egypt<\/em> etc.) have all their games on sale again, but it\u2019s the same price they always discount to.<\/p>\nIcewind Dale<\/em> is also half price again, but that’s not the best price it’s been and there\u2019s a couple others like this. We\u2019ve covered all these games before and I do try to monitor whether a price is \u201cgood\u201d price, as highly subjective as that concept it.<\/p>\nThat being said, Beholder<\/em>\u2019s latest sale is the best price it\u2019s ever been at $1.99, down from it\u2019s previous typical sales price of $2.99. Maybe there are some of you who don\u2019t own it yet who would like to, but again the older a game is the less relevant I feel it is at times in terms of discounts.<\/p>\nSeen anything else you like?
