App Store Game Releases #1
The most interesting iOS game releases of this week in one material. In the first issue, read about Poker Night 2, Bam fu, Call of Mini: DinoHunter, Dead Ahead, Epic and Zombie Fish Tank.
Poker Night 2Telltale Games has released a port of its original Poker Night 2 game on iOS.
Mechanics – the usual poker (you can choose between Texas Hold’em and Omaha). The trick of the game is in a bright visual design: the user does not play with anyone, but with characters from the games Sam and Max, Portal, The Evil Dead, The Venture Brothers and Borderlands.
If there are not enough characters from these games, you can also buy fighters from Team Fortress 2 in the store.
Each character is endowed with his own lines. For the latter, by the way, the game has already begun to be scolded. The statements are funny, there are a lot of them, but there still comes a time when they begin to repeat themselves. And it’s annoying.
Bam fuThe guys from the Dutch Game Oven Studios B.V. presented a very beautiful hand-drawn hot-sit project Bam fu (hot-sit in the sense that two to four people can play it simultaneously on one iPad).
In it, you need to turn the pebbles at speed so that they are your color. The problem of the project is in a disgusting training mode. For some reason, the developers thought that the rules of the game were already obvious. As a result, it takes a long time to figure out exactly how to play.
Call of Mini: DinoHunterYou can admire the developers from Trinity Interactive.
Having found their own visual style (characters with cubic heads) and their own gameplay (third-person role-playing action), they churn out similar games in completely different settings no worse than Kabam.
Call of Mini: DinoHunter is just one of these games. Actually, there is a character that can be customized in the village and a number of arenas with dinosaurs. For hardcore fans and fans of farming – it’s the most.
Dead AheadThe domestic team of Mobilate, known for Parking Mania, has released together with Chillingo the original zombie runner Dead Ahead.
Two things distinguish it from the sea of casual side-scrollers. Firstly, the player does not “jump” here, but moves along the road using the slider.
Secondly, there is a very high-quality pixel art, real.
But the game is not very friendly to the casual user, it is complicated. And this is a minus. In any case, the project is very pleasant. In addition, there is, at first glance, a good monetization, there is a lot to learn. Try.
“Epic“
On May 30, a new cartoon from Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox Animation is released in Russian cinemas. Accordingly, what is the big premiere today without a game?
Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the appearance of a rather voluminous project from Gameloft, which, by the way, a year ago very successfully performed with the Ice Age Village (“Ice Age” is also the work of Blue Sky Studios).
If we talk about the project itself, then Epic is a standard farm from the French with hard monetization and bright graphics (it catches on, yes). No surprises, but there is a battle mode a la Final Fantasy and cartoon characters.
Zombie Fish TankAnother Chillingo game about zombies.
More precisely, about the zombie fish. The basic gameplay is an arcade game a la Osmos (we eat other fish, we get bigger), in which control is carried out using the accelerometer of your device.
For in-game currency, radioactive elements, the user purchases fish and accessories in his own aquarium. Fish give bonuses in the basic mode, accessories – for beauty. In general, everything is very nice and adective.
