New iPhone Games Coming Tonight: ‘Leave Me Alone’, ‘Chesh’, ‘Space Miner Wars’, ‘Dub Dash’ and More

TouchArcade Rating:

Wendnesdays without Jared are… A lot more work. Dude is on his honeymoon right now, and in the last few days I can’t even count the number of times I’ve found myself thinking, “I wish Jared were here, he’d love this." Meanwhile, here I am, plugging away. We’ve got a hefty list of games tonight, including Crescent Moon’s Leave Me Alone, Chesh looks neat, and it’s cool to see the iBomber series still alive and kicking with iBomber Winter Warfare. Oh, and Space Miner Wars switches from being soft launched to actually launched today. I’m guessing Dub Dash will be the release that gains the most traction with our community, given how popular Geometry Dash has been, but, who knows!

Here’s the full list of new games that have been posted to our forums. If your game isn’t here, you probably didn’t post a thread for it!

Stay tuned for the full roundup later this evening, around 11:00 PM Eastern.

      I'm broke until I get paid on Tuesday but man I cannot wait to play this !!!

      No argument here. Game is amazing. Fighting gets a bit repetitious, but the art work and voice content are five star. Controls work very smooth too.

      1. Themostunclean

        The repetitive combat is exactly why I couldn't finish it when it was free on PS4. It's a beautiful game but I just couldn't get excited to play it after a while.

        1. LarryWP

          Yeah, I can see that I won't finish it either if the amount of fighting stays the same. It's just too much.

          1. Milotorou

            All these kind of games tend to feel like this though, thats why i usually play about one hour at a time

            1. LarryWP

              That's a good idea. I will try that instead of several hour marathons. Thanks!

              1. scrotally

                You unlock new abilities throughout the game which keeps it fresh. One of my favorite platformers of all time.

        2. Mike

          something like castlevania, and castlevania 3, i don't mind playing to the end...ghoul's and ghost on genesis too...the diverse weapons and distinct enemies maintain a strong challenge and really draw you in and make combat varied enough

      2. Desertking24

        The fighting gets alittle repetitive but then I think of how many hack n'slash are repetitive after awhile but still awesome and great story

    3. LordShad0wz

      Absolutely, wholeheartedly, agree !

      1. Repulsa

        So wait can someone elaborate a little how much combat are we talking .. Where do all the cool crafting and rpg elements come into play? If it's nothing but non stop fighting then maybe I had the wrong impression

        1. AppUnwrapper

          There is crafting, but either I missed the blacksmith or he doesn't come till later. I'm at 13% and haven't seen him yet. :(

          1. Shiro

            Her. It's a her and for a furry she's rather blatantly flirtatious.

            1. AppUnwrapper

              Did I miss her or she comes later?

    4. speedyph

      GAME IS FLAT OUT FLAWLESS OMG 😆😆😆😆😆💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

    5. Milotorou

      Enjoyed on xbox, enjoyed on pc, now loving it on mobile, truly deserving of the game of the week title, 5/5

    6. oz26mgs

      I'm citing TotalBiscuit on this. So as long as what he said is credible, I think it should be noted that the game was basically created by a single person. From what I heard, one person did the programming and the art for this game. That's pretty unreal. I'd buy it just to support the dev. However the game is amazing so I'll buy it for that reason instead.

      1. Sebastian Gomez

        I was amazed when I read about the original game being developed by one person (aside from music and voice cast). People are amazing, really.

        It doesn't really matter to me if combat gets repetitive (Barely 7% completion and it's already like that), because there are still other elements to enjoy from this title: plot, BGM, sound and visual effects, overall art, voiced dialogs, basic customization, items collection, free exploration, no IAPs, iCloud support, just name it!... and all of that for $5.99!

        I can see this game being reviewed and awarded a 4.5/5 at less.

        I'm enjoying it and will probably play it from start to finish this weekend.

        1. Milotorou

          It does get a bit repetitive but a lot of action games do tbh... Its nice that this game lasts less than 20 hours to get everything, it avoids getting too tedious

    7. areion

      Great game so far. Controls are not an issue. Props to Dev

    8. heringer

      Just so people are not disappointed, the structure is NOT comparable to SotN. It's much much more streamlined. The combat is the star here, it's not really a great example of the Metroidvania genre.

    9. tigerstripes85

      This game will only work on devices that have 1GB or more of RAM. It plays on the iPhone 5, but gets a little laggy when action is heavy. The sound gets a bit fuzzy at times (but that could be due to using an older device?) Touch controls work surprisingly well!

      🎉CONGRATULATIONS DEAN DODRILL🎉
      Metroidvania iz such a Awesome word

    11. MarsMachine

      Awesome game! So happy this got game of the week. I didn't know the game on other platforms and this went under in the out-now-post. This is like when Bastion came to mobile! It is unbelievable you can play this on a phone! I find the fighting very interesting and not boring at all. You can choose your style of fighting with many options. It is worth the few bucks just for the beautiful artwork alone! Must have on iOS

      How does it run? I heard a lot of good things about Transistor until I found out it runs like arse on the latest hardware.

      1. MasterEx

        Transistor runs buttersmooth just like this game on my 6 so i dont know what you are getting at

        1. Komodovaran

          Sometimes it would massively slow down. But the worst thing was the incessant black screens.

      2. Clymore102

        Transistor runs smoothly on my iPad Air 2.

    13. Benjamin Rodriguez

      Hah, I remember this game.

      It can be repetitive which is why I didn't finish it on PC, but the dialog is superb.

      I'll probably check it out if the controls end up pretty decent.

      Even on the PC with a controller it was kinda hard to perfect combos sometimes, I would feel that it'd be even harder on iOS.

    14. smiffee666

      Friday and this game will be mine, only 5 more days haha

    15. liggerstuxin

      I'm pretty picky and this is a great game. Don't ask about it, just get it.

    16. nicoper

      There is something missing here though, that something is Maglor and the cats.
