Shovel Knight Dig is shaping up to be a promising spinoff
Shovel Knight Dig is an upcoming platformer heading our way thanks to a promising partnership between Yacht Club games – creator of the original Shovel Knight – and Nitrome. It’s an all-new adventure featuring well-known knights from the hard-as-nails original, including the titular shovel-wielding hero and the dastardly Drill Knight. It sees you digging your way underground, earning loot and rare materials as you go. It seems to rely quite heavily on randomly-generated levels, which certainly sets it apart from its big brother. The latest trailer showcases some impressive animations, new enemies, and the altered combat system – all of which I definitely like the loo…
AndroidFifth episode of Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise ' The Final Blow' is finally out
The fifth and final episode of Yak & Co’s Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise is finally out on both the App Store and Google Play. To say it’s been a long time coming would perhaps be an understatement, though many seem to be singing the praises of ‘The Final Blow, which suggests to me that it’s probably been worth the wait. The fifth episode was teased earlier this month over on Yak & Co’s official Twitter account. The release date arrived via cryptic puzzle, with many fans rushing to solve the conundrum. If you’re new to the series, Agent A is a classy point-and-click adventure game where you assume the role of a mysterious agent. You’ve bee…
Dead Zed creeps its way onto the App Store and Google Play
Dead Zed, developer Not Doppler’s zombie shooter, has now crept its way onto both the App Store and Google Play. It’s an intense FPS which sees you gunning down hordes of shambling zombies, upgrading your arsenal, and generally just being a bit of a badass. Dead Zed actually started life as a web game, going on to amass a whopping 50 million plays. The updated mobile port adds some fresh content, building upon the already sizeable experience of the original release. You can expect 40+ zombie-filled environments to work your way through, with a satisfying difficulty curve that’ll see you gradually mastering the shooting mechanics and strategic crowd control. At launch, t…
Dead Cells makes its grand debut on the App Store today
The iOS version of Dead Cells, Motion Twin’s smash-hit roguelike, is now available for download over on the App Store. It arrives following a near year-long wait which started when a Google Play store page leaked the existence of the ports. It’s headed our way from developer Playdigious, and it seems like the team there has done a commendable job of translating a complex, lightning-fast game over to mobile. Dead Cells first launched last year on PC and consoles, going on to earn various GOTY nominations. Its mix of accessible roguelike mechanics and high-octane action made it once of the standout indies from last year, both in terms of sales and critical adoration. It was always…

Minecraft Earth now available for pre-registration on Android
As first reported by Mobile Game Network, Mojang’s upcoming take on Ingress and Pokemon Go, Minecraft Earth, is now available for pre-registration over on Google Play. The news arrived as a tweet over on Mojang’s official Twitter account. The game has a large focus on creating little models that can then be brought to life as full 3D holograms. Other players can see and interact with your builds, which is neat. Hopefully there are ways to avoid griefing, though. Android players, we’ve heard your call.

A new BTS game from the makers of BTS World is in the works
Following the massive success of BTS World, Netmarble and Big Hit Entertainment have announced today that they’ll be teaming up to bring to life another BTS game. For now, all we really have to go on is a concept trailer, though what a concept trailer it is. I have to admit that I’m not terribly knowledgeable on BTS or the ‘Bangtan Universe’. However, I do know not to get on the wrong side of its frighteningly devoted fanbase. I’m sure they’re passionate for a reason; the band is cool and all. BTS World, if you missed it, is of course a visual novel that follows the BTS boys through their journey to stardom, often going off on intriguing, alternate rea…
PAYDAY: Crime War blasts its way onto the App Store and Google Play in select regions
Intense ‘cops v robbers’ shooter, PAYDAY: Crime War, has finally made its way to the App Store and Google Play. It’s currently available in soft launch for players in most EU countries, including the UK, and – as first reported by Android Police – a US beta period has been announced. News of the US beta arrived over on the game’s Facebook page. It’ll be playable for a limited time prior to the full launch. Crime War has been in the works since all the way back in 2016, maybe even earlier. The first gameplay actually cropped up in early 2017, and, besides a few hands-on previews late last year, development progress has been fairly quiet since th…

Exciting news today for those into the competitive side of mobile gaming, as the grand finale of the Asphalt esports series will take place tomorrow at Gamescom. Over the last 4 months, players from all over the world have faced off against one another in Asphalt 9: Legends for a chance at earning a spot in the grand finale.

Captain We Have A Problem takes the Reigns formula to space
Developer Designlayout’s newly released card-based strategy game, Captain We Have A Problem, will be instantly recognisable to anyone who’s dabbled in the hugely popular Reigns series. It takes the Tinder-like binary decision making of Nerial’s games to space with some weird and wild results, and it’s now available to Android players in early access. You and your crew of intrepid space explorers are now a far-off colony’s last hope for survival. It’s up to you to traverse the darkest corners of the universe and deliver them some essential cargo. It’s going to be a long, challenging journey, fraught with dangerous encounters and plenty of life-or-de…
Five Nights at Freddy’s 6: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator is available now for iOS and Android
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator, the latest entry in the always popular Five Nights at Freddy’s series, has made a surprise appearance on the App Store and Google Play. Unlike the earlier games, this one’s a restaurant sim with a horror twist. You’ll be tasked with designed and running your very own version of the iconic Freddy Fazbear’s pizza chain. Everything from the décor to the attractions will be picked and organised by you. Once you’ve got it all looking sleek, your next challenge is to keep the restaurant operating smoothly throughout the day. If all goes to plan, you’ll finish the day off with a bit of paperwork, then lock up…
Tombshaft is a charming, challenging rogue-lite platformer
Tombshaft, developer doinksoft’s second game this year following Gato Roboto, is a charming, challenging rogue-lite platformer. It tasks you with delving into a trap-filled, monster-infested tomb to hunt for priceless treasures, and it’s available for pre-order today on the App Store. Some have already drawn comparisons between it and roguelike classics like Spelunky and Downwell. Though, on closer inspection, it’s clear that Tombshaft’s gameplay differs quite a bit from both. You’ll rapidly slide down the crumbling cave walls while taking care to dodge the various monsters that call the tomb home. In the mix are man-sized bats, horned devil things, and the od…
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite will be delisted from the App Store on September 1st
The popular iOS port of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite will be delisted from the App Store on September 1st. Freedom Unite originally launched as a PSP game all the way back in 2008, before being ported to iOS in 2014. While it’s bad news regardless of how you spin it, players who’ve already purchased the game will still be able to download and play it on their device with only a few caveats. You’ll still have the option to play through the single-player and online modes, but the in-game chat features will be removed. To make matters a little worse, it’s been confirmed that Freedom Unite is only supported up to iOS 10.2, meaning its days are numbered. Our sist…
Dear Esther, The Chinese Room’s divisive narrative-driven adventure game, is coming to iOS
Dear Esther, The Chinese Room’s highly divisive narrative-driven adventure game, is heading to iOS later in the year. It’s arguably the game responsible for the popularisation of the ‘walking sim’ genre. After originally launching for PC all the way back in 2012, Dear Esther has gone on to sell over one million units. At launch, it was praised for its very deliberate pacing and refreshing lack of action. For sure, it didn’t win over everyone, but it’s hard to argue against the game’s importance as a foundation for the likes of Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch. Your time in Dear Esther is spent exploring an isolated, abandoned Hebridean i…
