Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 6 months ago

If you enjoy games filled with guns, turf wars, and plenty of opportunities to fill unscrupulous baddies full of hot lead, you may like Happylatte's Days of Crime. Days of Crime is a skill-based Player vs Player (PvP) combat-filled action title inspired by the 1979 movie The Warriors. In it, you’re pitted against hundreds of other gun-toting wannabe gangsters from around the globe and a range of NPC bosses.

Seoul-based developers Actozsoft have finally released their long-awaited iOS and Android football management simulation One For Eleven. In One For Eleven, then, you’re charged with leading a team of the world’s best footy stars (all of whom are based on their real-world counterparts and boast accurate stats for things like tackling and heading) to fame and fortune.

If you want prolonged success, though, you’ll also need to unearth new talent by sending your most trusted scouts around the world. Plus, you'll need to improve the overall chemistry o…

Help young avians fall in love in quirky tower defence title Flirty Birdys [Sponsored]

Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 7 months ago

You’d be forgiven for thinking that a game called Flirty Birdys was a shameless rip-off designed to cash-in on the popularity of Angry Birds or Flappy Bird or one of the other avian-stuffed titles on the App Store. You couldn’t be more wrong, though. Flirty Birdys is, in fact, a quirky and colourful tower defence title in which you take on the role of a digital matchmaker. Basically, your aim is to manipulate male birds into falling in love with their female counterparts. In each level of the game, you have to - much like in any other tower defence title - strategically place towers (female birds, in this case) along a winding park pathway in order to successfully distract the…

MMORPG Chaos Fighters has battled its way up the App Store charts

Sponsored By David Ranki, 10 years, 7 months ago

As you may remember from the story we posted last month, you could pre-register for an upcoming free-to-play MMORPG called Chaos Fighters. Well, the game has now been released globally, and is available to download on both iPhone and iPad. Since its release it has shot up the App Store charts, too, creeping into the top ten free apps chart on Apple's digital marketplace in the US. It also placed fifth overall in the Free Apps Chart on the US App Store, a marginally higher fourth in the Free Games Chart, and even third in the US charts for action titles. Arguably most impressive of all though is that it managed to climb to the very top of the US charts for adventure games. It's done pr…

Pre-registration has just been opened for developer Coco Games’s upcoming free-to-play MMORPG Chaos Fighters – and there are some benefits to be grabbed if you sign up. If you register you'll get a notification as soon as Chaos Fighters goes up on the App Store and Google Play.

You'll also be entered into a prize draw to win one of three iPad minis to b…

Wakeapp ! is an iOS alarm clock app with customisable themes, unique video alarms, and more [Sponsored]

Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 9 months ago

Apple may have originally designed its iPhone to be a mobile communication device, but - thanks to the App Store - it’s now a multifunctional gadget that you can use as a TV remote, a fitness tracker, and even an alarm clock. The iPhone comes with a pre-installed app called Clock, which features a pretty basic alarm clock that will wake you up in the morning. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for an alarm clock app with a few more features, however, you’ll need to visit Apple’s digital app emporium and download something like Lemondo Entertainment’s Wakeapp !, which is available for £1.49 / $1.99. Wakeapp ! has been designed from the groun…

In a Space is now available on the Canadian App Store

Sponsored By David Ranki, 10 years, 9 months ago

Top-down twin-stick shooter In A Space - developed by South Korean developer / publisher Actoz Soft - has just been released onto the Canadian App Store. A location-based title that detects the city and country of the user (so that this region can be used as the starting point in-game), In A Space appears to be your basic shooter on the surface, one which employs standard dual-stick controls, and plays out over sphere shaped stages. However, you can also join up and form “Clans” with other players in order to defeat the various enemies and attempt to take over the solar system. Alternatively, you can ignore this added layer of social depth, and just blast your way through the…

Grab your gun and shoot your way through waves of menacing baddies in action-packed endless runner Blaze&Graze [Sponsored]

Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 9 months ago

Back in September 2013, developer Wyse Games released an action-packed endless-running title called Blaze&Graze. Blaze&Graze is a game all about retribution. Nefarious baddies have carried off your wooly relatives, you see, and it's your job to send them packing using the destructive powers you’ve obtained from the Great Sheeplord. Unlike in a lot of endless-running titles, you're not encouraged in Blaze&Graze to slide or jump in order to avoid the many enemies that you encounter as you play. In fact, you’re encouraged to fill any obstacles that are unfortunate enough to cross your path full of hot lead. Blaze&Graze was inspired by classic NES shoot-'em-ups and…

Wyse Games updates side-scrolling shooter Blaze&Graze!

Sponsored By David Ranki, 10 years, 9 months ago

Developer Wyse Games has updated its endless-runner / shooter hybrid Blaze&Graze! with new weapons, "boos-waves," and a few more things besides. A light-hearted adventure where you play as heroic sheep Lamb Rammy, Blaze&Graze! tasks you with saving your family after they have been unfairly enslaved. Pure Shakespeare. How do you do this? Why, by running to the right and offing stacks of enemies using a wide range of weaponary and special abilities, of course. I can't believe you had to even ask. Version 1.4 of the game includes new boss-waves, two new weapons, new backgrounds, and one new outfit. A few of the bugs of previous builds have been cast out, too. You can download Blaze&…

Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 11 months ago

If you're a massive fan of strategy titles and you download tower defence games from the App Store on a regular basis, there's a very good chance that you're already more than familiar with the Toy Defense series. More than 15 million gamers from around the world have played at least one of the franchise's instalments, after all. Anyway. Melesta Games have recently released a third entry in the popular series, and it represents a slight deviation from its two predecessors. Unlike Toy Defense and Toy Defense 2, which feature battles from World War I and World War II, respectively, Toy Defense 3: Fantasy is set in a magical 10th-century fantasy kingdom that's filled to the brim with pesky…

Office Hero is a tower defence title with movable towers and loads of action [Sponsored]

Sponsored By Anthony Usher, 10 years, 11 months ago

If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all. Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title. In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail. In order to protect Mike's workplace, you'll have to rally together his most loyal employees (the game's towers). They all have unique skills that will help you to repel the office invaders. Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds…
