Our sister site Pocket Gamer has gone hands-on with the awesome looking Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

Our sister site Pocket Gamer was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the upcoming magical adventure game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. It's a new location-based game from the developers of Pokemon GO that's set in the same universe as the books and films we all love so much. Our intrepid man at the event, editor Ric Cowley, said - "Through my phone screen I'm walking around Ollivanders wand shop in Diagon Alley. I've just defeated a bunch of evil wizards and goblins in a fortress, and I've saved Harry Potter from getting the life sucked out of him by a Death Eater. This is the wonderful world of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the latest real-world game from Pokemon GO creators Nianti…

One to watch - Sprout: Idle Garden is coming to iPhone and iPad this week

It's not often we get excited about idle games here at AppSpy - to be honest, they're not the sort of games that are designed for anyone to get excited about, that'd sort of defeat the object of being idle. But Sprout: Idle Garden has definitely caught our attention. One of the reasons for that is how lovely it looks. It's all pastel hues and nice, kind things. It's like a warm mug of cocoa and a hug from a loved one you thought you might never see again. And there are loads of flowers too - who doesn't love flowers!?! The game sees you building your own garden paradise. You plant the flowers, you manipulate the land - this is your space, and you can tend to it as often or as rarely as you…

Why Nintendo's LABO VR kit might be the future of mobile VR

There are a lot of people claiming that the VR dream is dead. Here at AppSpy we're not sure that's true - the VR dream is just changing into something far more accessible to normal people. Y'know, the sort of people who don't have thousands of pounds to drop on a heavy and cumbersome pair of goggles. That's why Nintendo announcing it's going to be building a VR LABO kit is really important. It's a glimpse at the potential future of mobile VR, as well as a nod to the past. You might have thought that the Occulus Rift was going to change the world, but it turns out the Google Cardboard had already done it. That gives us a big clue as to what the future of mobile VR is going to be like. LABO…

Our pick of the top iPhone and iPad game of the week - Scorcher

Every week here at AppSpy we like to pick one game that came out over the last seven days that we think you should definitely be playing. And this week is no different, because we're creatures of habit. We've picked Scorcher this week, and now we're going to tell you why. The game is the latest release from Radiangames, and it's been a while coming. If you're a fan of the dev you'll know some of what to expect here - fast gameplay, a unique style, and a pretty high level of challenge. But there are some twists to the Radian-formula here that you're also going to love. Essentially the game is a one-finger racer. You're controlling a ship that's pelting down a canyon. Hit the side of that ca…

One to watch - Frag: Pro Shooter is coming to iPhone and iPad this week

Whether you like it or not, the midcore revolution is gaining pace, finding new genres and styles of play to make more accessible for players who might not have the grounding in the mechanics of gaming that more seasoned button bashers might. And Frag definitely fits into that category. The game is shaping up to be a midcore take on Overwatch. You've got a team of characters, three objectives to shoot up, and a team of foes that are trying to stop you. There are plenty of twists thrown in though, and they make sure that things stay interesting. For one thing you don't have any team mates. The other characters are controlled by the AI until you die, at which point you can choose which of th…

Immortal Rogue is AppSpy's best iPhone and iPad game of February 2019

February is over and done with. Be honest, who saw that one coming? But just because the month has ended, doesn't mean we can't take a look back at one of the games that made the past 28 days a little more bearable. And this month there could really only be one game worth a peek - Immortal Rogue. It's a game that sees you playing as a Vampire, swooshing around a series of top-down levels killing everything that moves, grabbing loot, and then retreating to your vampiric sanctuary for about a hundred years. A hundred years of game time, obviously, not real time. The game's a roguelike, so dying in a run will setback most of your progress. There are things that roll over though, thanks to the…

We always like to make sure you're playing the best games - really, that's the point of our jobs. We're here to tell you about all the awesome mobile games that come out every week - and this week we're proper jazzed about Rolling Sky 2: Rolling Dream. Want to find out why? You'll have to keep reading then. The game is an auto-runner, but it's got so many twists up its various sleeves that it'd be diminishing it to think of it in the same terms as some other games that might fit into the same genre. For one thing, this is one of the slickest runners we've seen in a long time. The graphics are gorgeous, and the overall style is one that's both unique and dripping with quality. There's plent…

Medieval Dynasty offers multiple-choice fun for the mobile

Developer Robobot Studio has mainly focused on creating personal assistant apps, or ‘bots’, but Medieval Dynasty is something a little different — an RPG that’s all about choice. And it’s just been released on iOS, Android and Windows. Set between 476 and 1492 AD, the game puts you in charge of a fictional kingdom with the aesthetic of Medieval Europe. From the throne, it’s your job to make the vital decisions which will keep everything running as it should. However, every problem confronting you has more than one solution, and there isn’t always a clear-cut correct option. It’s up to you to weigh up the pros and cons; will this improve your…

One to watch - 3eality is coming to iPhone and iPad this week

It's not often that an endless runner comes out that we're actually interested in. It's not because we don't like the genre - it's because it's so rare that a runner comes out that does things differently. Luckily though this week is going to buck that trend, because 3eality is set to land on the App Store. What's so special about this one? Well for one thing, you're not controlling one character, you're controlling three - and they're all running on slightly different tracks. You need to keep an eye on all three and react accordingly when an obstacle pops up in one of them. We reckon it's gonna be much easier said than done though. There are some other clever ideas here too, like a charge…

Computer programming becomes fun with Switch puzzler Trybit Logic

Every now and again, a game comes along that makes learning fun, and that’s certainly true of Trybit Logic on Nintendo Switch. This logic-based puzzler has been a firm favourite among computer engineering students since it debuted on iOS and Android devices, and has also established itself as a tool to teach computing to youngsters. Developed by Himacs, the game tasks players with helping a friendly ‘Bitrobo’ defeat an army of bugs by combining logic operations panels to expose their weaknesses. Changing a bug’s switch from 0000 or 1111 is the way to kill them. Trybit Logic features two modes of play. In Puzzle Mode, players must use the on-screen logical operati…
