A few weeks ago we brought you word that WayForward, the studio behind a brilliant A Boy And His Blob re-make as well as a new (and good) BloodRayne title, is setting its sights on the iPhone and iPad with a port of Shantae: Risky’s Revenge. Now, we have the its first trailer and we thought it’d be hip to share it with you because we’re cool.
As you’ll see in the trailer, Risky’s Revenge is an action-y platformer. Generally, the more kinetic the game the more its mobile port suffers, but WayForward has done a miraculous job on the virtual controls — the game moves like it should and plays how it was designed to be played in the first place. Sounds strong, I know, but our preview build communicates that the studio knows what it’s doing here.
We still don’t have a solid release date, but the window continues to be “soon.” We’ll make sure fill you in whenever we know what’s up.
In before trolls :D.
Gyro13 was a very unexpected treat. Glad to see it made the list.
I also think that Sprinkle should have made an honorable mention.
Sprinkle was reviewed/released in August
Riight...well still it's a good one...possibly goty quality.
Possibly.
And the senseless TouchArcade blacklisting of Shadowgun continues. Best big-production game on iOS in a long, long time - if not ever.
Seriously guys. Did somebody pay you to do this?
(And no, I'm not affiliated with Madfinger, I just love their games.)
You'll find Shadowgun under our three star category- http://toucharcade.com/cate...
Typically speaking, we only include 5 and 4.5 star games in these roundups.
Even the users on the forums didn't give Shadowgun enough stars to be included in this roundup
The game isnt that good, iOS is better for casual, simpler yet addictive games
iOS is better suited for simpler, casual yet original and addictive titles such as Monsters Ate My Condo
Uhm, is it really “hard to find a game on the App Store with more history behind it than Another World”?
Do a quick search for “Frotz” on the App store, and you’ll be greeted with decades worth of *really* “classic” adventure game history. (Direct link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/...
Monsters Ate My Condo is the best game ive played in a while, its really engaging
Damn the new system, it verified so many times it messed all up
