CHAOS RINGS II
When people ask about 'Triple-A' titles for the iOS platform, SQUARE ENIX and Media.Vision's 'Chaos Rings' series invariably works its way in to the conversation. In some ways it's an unfair example and not to diminish the importance of the first title, but it doesn't hold up compared to similar tit…

Dungeon Hunter 2 Review
Dungeon Hunter 2 by Gameloft doesn't so much represent a change in direction for action-RPGs on iDevices as much as it is a refinement on the title that came before it. Once again you'll take up the responsibility of an immortal in defense of Gothicus, traveling the wide and varied paths of the world until you can fulfill your destiny as its hero. Two control schemes are available for players to choose from and you can either tap directly or use a virtual stick to move around and sele…

Killing Zone Review
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Zombies now roam the Earth; survivors need to be found and rescued; and you're their last hope with a handful of weapons and a handy-dandy UFO to escape their clutches. Killing Zone by CB Project is a survival action title that pits you against several different scenario types, often requiring mass extermination of the zombie hordes out to kill you. As you earn cash you'll be able to unlock new weapons and upgrades along with a mech that you ca…

Braveheart Review
As knights go, Richard - the hero of Gaijin Entertainment's latest title, Braveheart - is sort of a quirky character. After practically assaulting the daughter of his liege he is sent out to obtain the Holy Grail from the clutches of a Dragon, however instead of smashing his way through foes he'll spin, spin, spin his way to victory instead. Players have a choice of either controlling Richard purely through gesture controls or a combination of virtual stick/button and gesture controls…

Scarlett and the Spark of Life: Scarlett Adventures Episode 1 Review
Traditional adventure titles are somewhat of a rarity these days and while the genre has survived thanks to casual hidden-object and even puzzle variations, there's just something far more satisfying about completing a game using your wits and logic while being absorbed in a great story. Scarlett and the Spark of Life by Launching Pad Games is the first episode in what will hopefully become a regular series as it's hard not to be entranced by this game's amusing and tongue in cheek sty…

Epic War 3 - War of Heroes Review
Epic War 3 - War of Heroes by Artlogicgames represented a wild divergence from their previous Flash games in the series, leaving behind a clunky castle defense system that has seen too many clones already. Instead of micro-managing your income, clicking wildly at icons and throwing the occasional spell, Epic War 3 tries to add a bit of strategy while leaving the tedious chore of spawning creatures to the computer. The game's focus is turned away from mere defensive pushes and players…

Necronomicon Review
Like many others around the world, I have a passion for the work of H.P. Lovecraft and while his work has long since entered in to cliche for the horror genre, a giddy little shiver of glee always tingles down my spine when the Mythos is used in various media. Necronomicon by Lucidsphere Media attempts to bottle some of this blood-freezing terror in the form of a card game, however players are more likely to lose their sanity attempting to understand what to do instead of at the hands…

Baseball Superstars® 2011 Pro Review
Sometimes it can be lonely at the top, but the Baseball Superstars® series from GAMEVIL has earned its position of dominance thanks to its in-depth and detailed baseball gameplay that remains lighthearted despite the intense management required to succeed. Their third outing (BS2011) is no less of a beast in terms of content, but additional refinements to the gameplay show that GAMEVIL aren't interested in resting on their laurels. The controls for BS2011 haven't seen much of a ch…

Deep Deep Dungeon Review
Rogue-like's are a strange breed of RPGs that have managed to survive the test of time, thanks in part due to modern adaptions that gave rise to the loot-focused action-RPG genre. While Deep Deep Dungeon by iQubi may not have the same depth as a true rogue-like, nor even that of an action-RPG, it still manages to get its hooks in with the promise of new treasures and larger numbers. Each floor presents players with a randomized maze of paths interspersed with enemies and treasure. Bat…

Galaxy on Fire 2™ Review
UPDATE (17th Feb, 2012): With update after update pushing Galaxy on Fire 2 further and further forward, there's no question that this title represents the best the platform has to offer in the Privateer-style of games currently available. From its numerous tweaks including visual overhauls and content updates (with Valkyrie), you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of the genre for handheld devices. As such a score deserving of these updates has now been awarded to Galaxy on Fir…

NightWalker Review
NightWalker by Merry Weird is, by no small measure, not your average runner. Given the somewhat continual slew of re-imagined games for the genre, playing something this unique definitely gets points for being a breath of fresh air. However, don't expect the usual simple challenge of merely avoiding obstacles as you'll need to control not one, but two characters at the same time. This in itself presents some rather odd challenges from a gameplay perspective as it's quite easy to make…

Legends of Elendria: The Frozen Maiden Review
'Legends of Elendria: The Frozen Maiden' by Kyy Games is a title I can't believe we haven't reviewed already and I'm glad it was one of our recent requests. In this adventure title you'll put your tower defense skills to the test as you fight dozens of battles to defend your kingdom from a looming threat from beyond your borders. As you progress through the game's storyline you'll quickly pick up new towers, each with their own unique upgrades to use in each of the games mini-battles…

chronoSgear Review
chronoSgear by Axion Logic is perhaps the first of its breed on the App Store and I'm intrigued that something like this hasn't found its way on iDevices sooner. In this strategic RPG you'll need to make use of your three-match skills in a turn-based style of gameplay to outwit and outplay your opponents while working as a mafioso. Outside of combat the game is your fairly typical JRPG title, allowing you to wander around environments with a touch-anywhere d-pad system, entering rando…

Swords and Sandals Review
Sword and Sandals by 3RDsense continues the tradition of bringing free flash titles over to the App Store, but instead of merely cashing in with a direct port this version has been given some serious upgrades and tweaks over the free one. In this title you'll battle against vast amounts of gladiators, one at a time, until you rest easy as the ultimate champion. For those familiar with the series, the App Store version is an adaption of the second title that has been tweaked with a few…

Warrior Nation-Blade Review
As horizontal beat'em-up-come-action-RPG titles go, Warrior Nation-Blade by Park Sun-woo isn't going to win any awards just yet, but before you discount this game off-hand I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with how it managed to hold my attention. In most beat'em-ups I tend to have one particular pet-peeve that's very difficult to avoid: repetition. 'But that's what the genre is all about!' I hear you exclaim, but that's not entirely true. While button-mashing may be somewhat o…

SEED 2 - Vortex of War Review
'SEED 2 - Vortex of War' takes place five years after the events of the first game and you'll take control of Litta once again as he takes on the mantle of 'the hero' to save his country from destruction. We're long past the point where such simple stories are simply tiresome, but like so many other action titles what it lacks in narrative it tries to make up for in gameplay. Getting to grips with the game's action gameplay can take some time and in fact it's hard not to feel a little…
