The Thursday Find - Miracle Merchant

I mean, yes, if you look at it in a logical way, I did miss Thursday's Thursday Find post. But you know what that means? You're going to get two pieces of excellent AppSpy content today. Aren't you a bunch of lucky sausages? If you've never been here on a Thursday before, or on a Friday posing as a Thursday, the Thursday Find is when I tell you about one game that you definitely should be playing this week.

Mobius Final Fantasy treats players with its one-year anniversary update

As any long-time franchise fan will tell you, no Final Fantasy is truly the last. Proving this point once again is Mobius Final Fantasy, Square Enix’s mobile take on the longstanding JRPG series, which today celebrates its one year anniversary on iOS and Android. Such a commemorative occasion brings with it a glut of new events and rewards to jump in on and claim—a thank you of sorts for every dedicated Warrior of Light out there. Heading up Mobius Final Fantasy’s list of celebratory gifts is a limited time Anniversary Greater Summon, which will handily allow players to perform one Greater Summon at no extra cost. This is in addition to various new limited-time ability car…

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - August 2nd

Welp, it's Wednesday. I'm sort of running out of things to say about days of the week now. I'm sorry Wednesday, I feel like I've let you down. It's just that I'm very tired and my face feels really warm for some reason. What a life. One thing I know for sure is that Wednesday is when I round up the best games on sale on the App Store at the moment. And this week there are some real gems that have had their prices slashed. One might even call it a vintage week. Some of the games that didn't make this list would have easily made it into other week's lists. Anyway, you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to grab them from the App Store. Except the one that's got two entries.…

The Monday Musing - Three games that should get their own mobile card games

Monday has come round again. With all the good grace of that drunk friend who calls you at 3am and just sort of makes noises at you. Thanks Monday, it's always great to see you. Same time next week, yeah? At least Monday being here means it's time for some excellent AppSpy content. And Monday is when we smash out our Monday Musing. We just sort of have a sit down and a think about things. Not too deep a think though, I mean, it's still Monday. This week I'm thinking about The Elder Scrolls: Legends. It's a card game based on the super popular Western RPG, and it just came out for iPhone. And that got me wondering about what other massive games should have their own card game on mobile. The…

As MU Origin turns 1, Webzen rewards players with a load of bonuses and discounts

Hooray! MU Origin is celebrating its first birthday this July. South Korean publisher Webzen created the game as an updated, mobile friendly spin-off of MU Online, itself released way back in 2003. Since the MMORPG was launched, it’s attracted just shy of 2 million players to its magical lands. That’s like the entire population of Northern Ireland hacking and slashing their way through dungeons to a combined playtime of over 7000 years! Thankfully there’s enough loot to go round.   If you’re a fan of said loot, then now’s the time join MU Origin. Webzen is celebrating the game’s anniversary by gifting players a load of rewards.

It also means that here on AppSpy we get to round up the best games that came out this week. So that's pretty exciting. And it's been a mammoth ol' week for games coming out on the App Store.

The Thursday Find - Galaxy of Pen and Paper

Happy Thursday everyone. I hope all of your dreams have come true and you're not squatting in a pit of filth and misery. Because, quite frankly, that sounds completely awful. If you are doing that, then reach out to someone. They might be able to help you. Weird intro. Anyway, Thursday means it's time for the Thursday Find. And we've got a super duper cool find for you this week. It's so found that it's off the finding charts. I don't think that's going to catch on, but I'm going to keep pushing it anyway. As per, click on the emboldened name of the game below and you'll be able to download it from the App Store. And if you've got an opinion on the game, chuck it in the comments all the wa…

The best games on sale for iPhone and iPad right now - July 26th

Ah Wednesday. The central pillar of the working week. It's like the pole holding the rest of the miserable sheet up. If only we could find a way to knock it down. Together comrades, charge at the pillar that keeps us oppressed. No? Okay, maybe next week then. Wednesday is when we like to look at the best games on sale on the App Store anyway. So it'd be a shame if we dismantled capitalism before I got a chance to tell you what you can save some pennies on at the moment. As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the games below to go and grab them from the App Store. And if there's anything you think should be on the list but isn't, why don't you let everyone know about it in the com…

The Tuesday best of - Word games for iPhone and iPad

Tuesday is here. It's Tuesday everyone. Okay, real talk, does anyone know what Tuesday is actually for? Has anything important ever happened on a Tuesday? Look back through your history books, and I bet you'll find that literally zero things have occurred on a Tuesday. Anyway, here at AppSpy on Tuesdays, we like to buck the trend by trying to do something interesting. It usually involves rounding up three of the best games in a genre. And that's what we're doing today. And we're having a good long look at word games. As usual you can click on the emboldened names of the games below to swoop over to the App Store and download them. And if you think there should be other games in the list, w…

The Monday Musing - Three genres that need the mobile deconstruction treatment

Oh my word it's Monday already. Dark and dreary Monday, cowering in a corner and scowling at anyone that dares to ask it how it's doing. A forgotten thing, lonely at all times, scorned simply for existing when it does. Poor Monday. But Monday also means it's time for a Monday musing. And this time around I thought we'd have a look at genres that could do with a sensible mobile deconstruction. We've seen it a lot recently, with games like Clash Royale and Wagers of War – titles that are taking the core ideas of a genre and then squishing them into mobile-sized packages. With that in mind, here are three other genres that I think are ripe for the squishing process. You might agree, you…

Hi there Friday. You look lovely, strutting around in your finery like the cock of the walk. You know we love you best of all the days in the week, and you're not afraid to milk that affection for all that its worth. I can respect that. And since it's Friday, that means it's time to round up the best games that have come out on the App Store this week.

The Thursday Find - Brainful

Feature By Harry Slater, 6 years, 8 months ago

Hi there, and welcome to another edition of Harry starts the first paragraph of a feature with something weird about the day. It's Thursday today, and I think we can all agree that that is a fact, and just move on with our lives without putting any more consideration into it. And since it's Thursday, it's time for my favourite AppSpy feature, the Thursday Find. Today we're going to be looking at a game that mixes puzzling and arcade action into a frantic, heady, and often down right enraging mix. As usual you can click on the emboldened name of the game below to swoop over to the App Store and download it right this second. And feel free to share your ideas in the comments below, if that's…

The days they keep on rolling by, slick with the sun-beaten sweat of commerce and capitalism. But it's fine, because I've put some pictures up in my windows to block out the shiny yellow git that keeps making my days so unpleasant. Anyway, Wednesday is when we take a look at the best games that are currently on sale on the App Store. There's some pretty sweet digital entertainment going for cheap at the moment, and I've only gone and rounded up the best of them.
