We spoke to A Thinking Ape to learn more about how Kingdoms of Heckfire is so deep yet accessible
Kingdoms of Heckfire is a build and battler in a similar vein to Clash of Clans. The difference here though, is that it prides itself on being more friendly to casual players. That doesn’t mean it’s easy though, it’s just a little smoother to get to grips with. You won’t open it and be flooded with a bunch of stuff to do, not knowing how any of it works. But as you play, it opens up and there’s an awful lot of depth there. So there’s plenty of reasons why hardcore Clash of Clans fans will love the game too. We spoke to A Thinking Ape to learn more about what sets Kingdoms of Heckfire apart from its competitors, and here’s what they had to say.…

If Deliria passed you by, here’s what you’re missing
Malaysian developer Eldritch Games released its own little sci-fi adventure earlier this year. But, like a cloaked spaceship covertly spying on Earth, it probably flew under your radar. Here's what to expect from 2D side-scroller Deliria. Set in 2107 following Earth's devastation by an asteroid, you step into the shoes of an interdimensional overseer. It's your task to establish the base camp for a mining operation on Dimension LG7 in order to harvest Delirium, an element with unknown power.

Why Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp might be the perfect game to get you through this holiday season
It's getting towards the end of the year, and that can only mean one thing - we're about to be engulfed by a series of holidays. Oh, and it might snow in the northern hemisphere as well. Probably not though, what with global warming and all. Anyway, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has just landed on the App Store. Sure, it might be a bit early, and someone has forgotten to turn the servers on, but that got me thinking. Is Animal Crossing the perfect mobile game to tide you through the dark winter nights and awful meetings with aunts and uncles you barely even remember? There's really only one thing for it. I'm going to have to create a piece of content to address that very question. You can c…

Everything we know so far about Harry Potter: Wizards Unite for iPhone and Android
Yesterday we had a look at the game that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite should be copying. Today I thought we'd do something a little more traditional and look at all of the information we have about the game thus far.

And as and when we get more stuff, I'll make sure to update this little guide so that you're all the first to know what's going down. Oh, and make sure you check out what our sister site Pocket Gamer has to say about the new game as well. It's always got the hottest takes and the neatest sentence formati…
What Harry Potter: Wizards Unite can learn from The Order of the Phoenix game

Now, while other websites might be writing articles speculating about what the game might look like, and taking guesses at when the game is actually going to come out, I thought I'd do something a little different. After all this is App Spy, and we love to do things a little different around here. So I'm going to take a look at the Harry Potter game that Wizards Unite should copy. It is, in my humble op…
