Snowbreak: Containment Zone continues its 2.5 year anniversary celebration with more rewards

Snowbreak: Containment Zone continues its 2.5 year anniversary celebration with more rewardsIn a world of wacky genre games, I think that the waifu shooter is probably one of those that makes me chuckle more than most. But for those of you willing to overlook that inherent silliness, there's a lot to enjoy in Snowbreak: Containment Zone as the hit 3D shooter celebrates its 2.5-year anniversary. Well, it continues to celebrate would be more apt to say as phase two of the Back From Bygone event goes live today. It features a brand-new free operative with Marian - Aquila, who serves as a support character, who should complement nicely with some of the other entries in our Snowbreak: Containment Zone tier list. ...

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles is a casual micro-puzzler that's just about to get a Valentine's update

Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles is a casual micro-puzzler that's just about to get a Valentine's updateWith mobile being such a diverse and vibrant platform, it can often be hard to keep track of everything. But oftentimes a major new update brings a game roaring back into the spotlight, which is precisely the case with Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles and its new Valentine's Day event. If it were released today, I'd say that Brain Test was following a rather tired formula. But having been first released in 2019, I'd argue it was ahead of the curve with its microgame-style puzzles. Nothing is quite as brain-bustingly difficult as, say, sudoku, but there's certainly still a challenge. ... [ MORE ]

Summoners War announces limited-edition tie-in merchandise for Lord of the Rings collaboration

Summoners War announces limited-edition tie-in merchandise for Lord of the Rings collaborationEven almost a century onwards, The Lord of the Rings remains a stunningly popular example of fantasy literature, if not the progenitor of the whole genre. So it shouldn't be surprising that Summoners War and their latest LotR collab are being squeezed for all their worth. The team-up, which features members of the Fellowship such as Aragorn and Frodo, as well as the villainous Gollum, has been live for a while now. But fans will soon be able to grab merch based on the crossover event on the official Summoners War merch website, as pre-orders open now with orders expected to be fulfilled in April. ... [ MORE ]

Backpack Battles swaps sword-swinging for inventory sorting, out now on iOS and Android

Backpack Battles swaps sword-swinging for inventory sorting, out now on iOS and AndroidBack in December, Backpack Battles caught my attention for turning one of the most oddly satisfying parts of any RPG - rearranging your inventory - into the entire point of the experience. Now it’s officially out on iOS and Android, and yes, it still feels like a strategy release built for anyone who’s ever spent longer lining up items than actually swinging a sword. The idea is simple enough. You don’t fight directly, only your backpack does. Every weapon, potion, or strange little trinket you pick up has a shape, a size, and a place it belongs to. Slide things together the right way, and suddenly your build clicks; stack things poorly, and even the rarest gear won’t save you. The entire loop has a really tactile feel, like you're constantly nudging pieces around a puzzle. ... [ MORE ]

Cadence is an adorable puzzle throwback to the good old days of the App Store

Cadence is an adorable puzzle throwback to the good old days of the App StoreIn these days of fantastic, Unreal Engine-fuelled, high-fidelity ARPGs and RTS, it can seem strange to think of a day when constraint ruled the day in development. But in the case of Cadence, this is a throwback to the early rise of mobile and all the interesting and distinctive mechanics that entail! With it being available to try for free (and a single purchase for the whole experience), the gameplay of Cadence is as simple as you get. Your goal is to wake Ren the Cat by charting a course through different circuits. This is where the title, of course, comes in as each block plays a different musical note to make short tunes as you complete each level. ... [ MORE ]
