Seven Sacred Beasts crosses a monster battler with a hardcore JRPG, Kemco slashes price for its Android launch

Kemco's latest RPG Seven Sacred Beasts is out now on Android, and at half price - a tempting $3.99 - for its initial release. Seven Sacred Beasts looks like a monster-filled mash up of Pokemon and Final Fantasy, with lots of monsters to collect, level up, evolve, and battle, plus the usual JRPG melodramatics about dark knights and secret identities, all presented in a Super Nintendo era visual style. Sound good? Go grab it via the link below. [Google Play link]…

Tales from the Borderlands gets 'Welcome Back to Pandora (Again)' trailer

Tales from the Borderlands gets 'Welcome Back to Pandora (Again)' trailer

The AppSpy team was seriously wondering how the Borderlands universe would actually work as a point and click adventure, but from the brand new trailer for Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands, it looks like the answer could be "brilliantly". The trailer - titled 'Welcome Back to Pandora (Again)' - places the dark humour of the series front and centre, and while there are still no details of how the action scenes will work (we've been promised gun play), the sense of a grand adventure on a truly horrible planet is palpable. Tales from the Borderlands is coming to iOS (plus PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, and Xbox One) in the near future. We'll…

Munch Time 2 teaser reveals huge new world, confirms more tongue-based open world action

Gamistry's just popped over the teaser trailer for Munch Time 2, the sequel to its original action adventure starring a chameleon with one incredible tongue. You use this tongue to zip about the various areas, solving puzzles and thwacking baddies, and exploring this 2D open world - as you might do in any other Metroidvania. As with similar titles in the genre, there's an experience system and additional skills to learn in here that will help you explore further. Take a look at the trailer, embedded below.…

Agent, Run! trailer asks you to run, agent

Agent, Run! is an endless runner, but instead of focusing on your agent avoiding obstacles - such as shark-infested tanks, barricaded security doors, and walking robots of doom - instead you must disable these hazards with a flick of the screen. You take on the role of Agent Robert Robertson who is attempting to thwart Professor E. Vil, across a couple of different gameplay modes and four different areas (the first of which comes free), all the while completing missions set out by the game and attempting to climb to the top of the online leaderboards. Agent, Run! is out now on iOS and Android, you can get it via the links below. [App Store link][Google Play link]…

Bomb On Bus! looks to cater to those gamers who have a need for Speed

Over Easy Games' debut effort is Bomb On Bus!, it's out right now on Android, and it's coming soon to iOS. The set up is this: you're on a bus, there's a bomb on-board, and it'll detonate if you drop below a specific speed. Sound familiar? Probably should do to fans of cheesy action movies starring Keanu Reeves. Over Easy Games' pedigree is pretty strong, the developer having worked on the iOS versions of Call Of Duty: Black Ops Zombies as well as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, so this auto-driver should very well be worth a look. Get it on Android now, for free. [Google Play link]…

That's a lot of stuff to be getting on with, I reckon. Gamebanjo is a free-to-play compilation of primarily arcade-oriented 2D games, and it looks just spiffing. Originally released on iOS in March, after a million people downloaded it the collection has now made its way to Android too. Though you can do all sorts in the game, the one thing that remains constant, rather neatly, is how progression works:…

Mecha Monsters are battling robots that you control with your phone and I want one oh goodness me I want one so bad

Bristol-based Reach Robotics are making these ridiculously cool remote controlled robots you command by using your smartphone. Or at least they will be if enough people are interested in their upcoming crowdfunding campaign. You fight Mecha Monsters against one another in real life, and as they battle you gain experience that allows access to special moves and unlockable items. If you're of a tinkering mind, you can also program custom motions by using some included software. Mecha Monsters look super cool. For more details check out the official website.…

If you've exhausted all the content in Dungeon Hunter 4 then I've got some good news for you: the Descending Depths update brings with it a load more quests to complete, and enemies to defeat. Howling Canyon, The Dig Site, and Chapel of Whispers are the names of the new dungeons, featuring new bosses Crow and Bone Golem. On top of this, there's a new event type called Burdens to take on.

The Hunger Games: Panem Rising is the official mobile game of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, and this is what it looks like

Mockingjays unite: there's a new game out for your mobile and / or tablet based on the new The Hunger Games flick. The Hunger Games: Panem Rising is being described as a "role-playing card mobile game" so, without wanting to be too reductive, think Rage of Bahamut, rather than Hearthstone. There appears to be a bit more story than your usual card battler included in here though, as you'll follow Katniss Everdeen as she fights against the Capitol, exploring the various poverty-stricken districts, and recruiting from hundreds of characters from the series. You'll also be able to nab all sorts of items to aid your quest, and upgrade the stats of your carefully organised team. The game is…

Will you risk watching this new video for Earthcore: Shattered Elements?

There's a new card duellling game in the works, and it's looking very intrguing indeed. Earthcore: Shattered Elements features a gameplay system the developer is calling Risk, which at its most fundamental level means that the bigger and more powerful creatures you wield in battle, the more chance you have of both winning and losing. It's a curious concept, and it's explained in more details in the trailer below. Earthcore: Shattered Elements is from Tequila Games, and is scheduled to be released on iPhone and iPad in Q1 of 2015.…

Bitcoin Billionaire's launch trailer is full of pixel art loveliness and goofy Internet money

FizzPow Games has been in touch to say that its new game - Bitcoin Billionaire - is out on November 6th, and that there's a lovely new trailer to go with this news. You can see it below. From what we've seen so far of Bitcoin Billionaire, it looks a lot like a clicker type game, crossed with the look of a Kairosoft-esque management effort. Only instead of making a game studio, or running a racing team, or creating a shopping mall, you're farming fake Internet money for profit. It's also a bit of a swipe at grind-heavy games, as well as the tech geek lifestyle. Bitcoin Billionaire will be free-to-play when it launches on iOS this week.…

Tiny Realms update adds new Battle Command, tweaks Battlegrounds, video features cute dog

Tiny Realms is a strategy management game I'm absolutely in love with, as this review over on Pocket Gamer will attest.The game has just been updated to version 1.6.0, and includes a fair few additions and improvements, as well as the usual bug squishing. You can now issue a Battle Command called Hold the Line. This means that your soldiers will stand where they are and fight. To issue it, you simply hold your finger on the area of the map you want your troops to stop. Battlegrounds has also been updated to include new map filters, and a detailed progress report. This video - which features an adorable dog named Holly - explains the update in more detail. The update is live now, but if…

Drift Girls is basically Initial D meets LovePlus meets Out Run, and I have exploded at the thought of such a game existing

If you were to take the drifting of a game like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune or Initial D, and then mix it in with a dating sim, like Animal Boyfriend, you'd get Drift Girls, a mobile video game I think I would knife my gran for, just for a chance to play it. The trailer below is a bit sexy, the music a bit loud, and the drifting a bit ridiculous - all of which is A-OK with me. But it's the concept as a whole that I'm completely in love with: they've basically made a whole game out of the girlfriend from Out Run 2. Watch the trailer, and weep at the fact that this iOS / Android title probably isn't coming to the west. If you can read Korean, you can pre-register here. It makes me sad th…
