Skiing Yeti Mountain, the skiing game I previewed last month, is finished and is nearing a final release date. Developers Featherweight Games, also creators of Enterchained (Free), are releasing their goofy little skiing game next week, on May 21st. The game will be free to download and supported by ads, with a $2.99 IAP to remove them. You’ll be slaloming, racing, and just trying to discover, what is up with the yeti on this mountain!
Along with the game, Featherweight Games says they’ll be donating 50% of the game’s profits to charities to help out with recovery efforts from the earthquake in Nepal. Tim Kaldor, one of the two members of Featherweight, lived in Nepal up until May of 2014, and has decided to donate his share of the game’s profits toward recovery efforts, with links in the game to donate to charities. Section 21 of the App Store guidelines regulate charitable donations, though this game has been approved already, so it’s either okay with Apple or it slipped by the approval team. I’ve reached out to Featherweight to see if they’ll be providing any sort of verification about money going to charity, just to be sure.
Wasn't this reloaded before?
Nope! But the game has been talked about a lot at TA. We're all big fans.
I have never understood why this or legacy didn't get more content updates, they could have been so really, really great, instead of just great as they are now:)
Mika doesn't update anything except for zombieville. BH was updated one time, and they added like 2 characters. We'll be lucky if BHL ever gets an update.
Yeah. Sucks about them to be honest.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE U DO AN RPG RELOAD ON MAGE GAUNLET BY ROCKET AT GAMES PRETTY PLEASE 😀😀😀😀😎😍😍 that's one of my favs 😃
Is Rocket Punch an RPG?
Mage Gauntlet, right... can't keep my Rocketcat games straight.
How can I say no to Speedyph? I think you'll be seeing it pretty soon one way or the other, friend!
This is well timed. I've actually been playing Battleheart Legacy over the past week.
This game is just so awesome. Good choice.
My favorite team to run is the two man team: Paladin and Ranger. Tried it on a lark and wow if that team isn't fun. It's tactically challenging, but gains the advantage you can pull off the tactical gymnastics needed because it's a two man show.
I love it! I'll try it this weekend.
One of my favorite app icons.
Classic and timeless. If there was an app icon hall of fame it'd be there
I jumped on BHL when it came out, remembering hearing about this one. Then I bought that Guardians of the Galaxy game and learned that it was a lot like BH. So, after realizing I had never actually played BH, I corrected that error just before jumping into the reload. Finally bought it! Thanks for the reminder. I also need to reinstall BHL and keep working into that one. Just a bit bigger in file size though!
Still one of the best games on mobile.
Wow, we're on #38 already. It sure doesn't seem like that many went by. Time flies. Great stuff as always. This is one of my favorite things on TA.
Thanks! I can hardly believe it sometimes, too. We're on the march now to #50 and the one-year anniversary. I'll have to make it a special one! Thanks always for the support. :)
Thanks for Reload. Will give this a try. Don't usually play RPG's as too time consuming, but if it only requires a few minutes at a time then that should work well for me.
This was one of my favourite games for quite a while until I got stuck on a level and couldn't progress. I would like it other games could take some of the clever aspects of this game
Great review as usual! Hey Shaun, sometimes during your reviews you make reference to games from waaayyy back. A friend and I are curious... Just how old/young are you? My apologies is you've mentioned this several times before!
I'm a 1979 baby, but I've always enjoyed digging into stuff before my time. First game I played was Galaxian in the arcade, and I was mostly an arcade rat for my first several years. My first home game was this neat little standalone Galaga thing that looked just like a tiny arcade cabinet. Wish I still had it! My first home hardware was a C64, where I played my first electronic RPG, Ultima 3. I had played a lot of D&D with my older cousin and his friends before that (yes, I was *that* kid), so I took to it immediately. The '3' in the title naturally led me to seek out the earlier installments, and a 'retro gamer' was born, haha.
got this long time ago, and its probably the 1 game that never got deleted from my iPad, was and still is A10.
In a future Reload, I'd like to hear your take, Shaun, on the 8-bit-style RPG "Guardian Saga"!
For any RPG fan, the real win is Battleheart Legacy. One of the most fun games I've played on IOS. For any fan of the genre, a must buy for sure.
Indeed. Mika Mobile is 2 for 2 with their Battleheart series. Both the original and Battleheart Legacy are fun and deep games with great character customizations.
This is among the top 10 games on iOS. Charming and challenging.
Loved BH and BHL, but personally I like Heroes vs Monsters more than the original BH. I felt like there were more hours of gameplay and customization. Just me. Anyone else think the same?
yes, even being a shameless rip-off I ended playing HvM much more and enjoyed it a lot
Well I've always wondered why the Bard's name was spelled that way and only dawned on me now that they were paying homage to a certain other bard. Edwardo is much more useful though. I use him as my main healer and he works great. Unlike that other bard.
