Get ‘The Nightmare Cooperative’ and ‘The Firm’ for Free While You Can

TouchArcade Rating:

Two more awesome free games have crossed our radar for you to pick up that you should go after as soon as possible. The Nightmare Cooperative ($0.99) is a puzzle-roguelike from Lucky Frame. It’s got a Threes ($5.99) influence to it, where swiping to move in a cardinal direction moves all characters at once. This is about collecting treasure, keeping your heroes alive, and getting as deep in the dungeon as possible. This game is actually a lot better on mobile than it is on PC because swiping works so well for it, so definitely pick this one up even if you have played it elsewhere.

Next up is The Firm (Free), a fast-paced puzzler where you play as a stock trader, who must choose to buy or sell stocks based on whether they’re going up or down. The game will mess with your mind as you try to quickly decipher which stocks are to be bought and to be sold based on the binary visual cues. It’s rather difficult but highly replayable.

Both of these games may not be live in your region if you’re in the US or Canada, as they appear to be timed. So they should be free at 11:00pm eastern in North America, but if they’re free where you’re at, go download them right now as they may not be free for much longer! And remember, we’re your number one source for free games this holiday season.

    Fiendishly difficult! Adorably cute! Utterly engrossing! How much gold can you get before your entire team is destroyed?…

      *whistles* At this rate, I won't be paying for another game for weeks! Keep up the kindness! :)

    4. NexusInfinity

      Hey TA, thanks for posting about the Pocket Gamer freebies!

      1. Eli Hodapp

        What are you guys even talking about anymore? Does Pocket Gamer have dibs on every free game on the App Store now? Here's the iTunes pages for both games, at the time we posted this:

        Note the time and date in the system tray. This is just getting silly. Do they have dibs on Space Qube and Foosball too?

          *slow clap for the solid evidence used to back up the claim; a rarity on Internet forums*

          Well they have that advent calendar thingy ya know.

    7. Jesse_Dylan

      They are not free right now. Did I miss it, or are they going to be free later? Not sure how I could have missed it, as this was barely posted.

      1. Jesse_Dylan

        Anyway, I want them both, so I hope I haven't missed it. This was only posted an hour ago. hm hm. Time zones are confusing.

        1. Al99999

          They showed up at 10

          1. Al99999

            Sorry, that's central time zone

          2. Jesse_Dylan

            Yay got them!! thanks! I am Central, too. :)

        After I got a 6+, Ive been eyeing MHFU. I hope it gets a discount soon before I cave.

        1. holyghostx

          Just cave - MH games are completely worth it. I paid full price for MH3U on 3DS and given the fun and hours (250+) I've dedicated, I would gladly have spent more. Great games.

          1. Patrick

            I have above 300+ hours on my 3ds for MH3U and some more time on my Wii U. My problem is that I own the PSP version and I just need a good excuse to go for the iOS version. A sale would work for me.

            1. holyghostx

              Ah - cool. Makes sense.

            2. sinagog

              It's a stone-cold classic on any platform. I never played the PSP version, but I'd imagine the multiplayer is pretty much dead by now? If taking down giant things with random Japanese dudes online is what makes MHFU click for you, it's definitely worth getting the IOS version. Oh, plus much improved graphics. Quadruple-dipping might be a bit over the top, though, even for one of the best games ever.

      Thanks! I just downloaded them both here in EST.

      Nightmare Co. Is alright, but isn't nearly as good as Hoplite or 868-HACK.

      1. dancj

        Maybe 868-Hack will be tomorrow's Pocket Gamer freebie
