It’s Wednesday, which means that despite being knee-deep in upcoming game coverage at GDC, there are plenty of games coming out right now that are worth getting excited about. By “right now," of course, I mean about 11pm EST in the Americas and potentially much earlier elsewhere.
Dungeon Hearts, $2.99 – Forum Thread – An iPad Puzzle/RPG hybrid that looks to mix classic JRPG combat stylings with match-3 mechanics in battles with big scary monsters. Very cool.
Final Fantasy V – $16.99 – Forum Thread – Another Final Fantasy title hits the app store. This time around, it comes with improvements from the 2006 GBA release and new character art by the original artist, Kazuko Shibuya.
Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet – $1.99 – Forum Thread – Magicka’s been rocking co-op RPG chaos on desktop since 2011. Wizards of the Square Tablet has been designed fresh for iPad, but promises a similarly ludicrous list of spell combos and team-kills.
Nimble Quest – Free – Forum Thread – Imagine this: Snake, RPG mechanics and NimbleBit’s pixel art and friendly take on free-to-play. Seems like an easy call.
Runaway: A Twist of Fate – Part 1 – 4.99 – Forum Thread – The first installment of the third game in the Runaway series of adventure games by Péndulo Studios. Check out the technical requirements before grabbing this one—it needs a ton of space and a fairly recent device.
Secret Castle – Free – Forum Thread – A hidden object game with very cool tilt-3D object hunting. Check out the trailer.
Tiny Troopers 2: Special Ops – $0.99 – Forum Thread – The sequel to the popular top-down shooter about mini military dudes. This one should be out at midnight tonight.
