iPhone Games

The highly anticipated mobile game based on the popular Adult Swim cartoon Rick and Morty is now available on the Apple App Store. Pocket Mortys has landed one day early and it is already receiving great reviews from critics and players. The game is a parody of Pokémon, where players must collect different Mortys instead of cute creatures. There are over 70 different Mortys to recruit, different Ricks to battle and tons of characters from the show, such as Mr. Poopy Butthole and Birdperson.

Hi-Rez Studios, the creators of SMITE, has released their first mobile title for iOS. Jetpack Fighter is a side-scrolling, action game with swipe-to-attack controls. In the game players must "dash" through various enemies and hazards to rid a futuristic world of evil robots and killer bosses.

The game promises to deliver "deep and rewarding gameplay" with plenty of characters and weapons to unlock. As a launch bonus, SMITE users can unlock the goddess Nemesis by syncing their Jetpack account with their Hi-Rez account. Players can also replay missions to collect additional loot and compete in PvP time trials.

The independent developer Frogmind has released a sequel to its 2013 Apple iPad Game of the Year. BADLAND 2 is now available for both the iPhone and iPad on the Apple App Store. The new game promises to deliver more than just a rehash of the original with new levels that "extend and scroll in all directions," and new elements, "such as liquids, flamethrowers, frost, magma, water and searing light," according to the press release.

"BADLAND 2 is our attempt to reinvent the first BADLAND,” said Juhana Myllys, co-founder and lead artist/designer of Frogmind. “We wanted BADLAND 2 to be worthy of the word ‘sequel.’ It’s not the old BADLAND just with new content. It is a whole new world to explore."

Five Nights At Freddy's developer Scott Cawthon announced over the weekend that he is working on a novel based on his hit video game.

"This is not something recent; I've been working alongside a professional writer for the last ten months crafting this story, and I'm very excited about the finished product," Cawthon explained on the FNAF Steam page. "It expands the mythos and reveals a human element never before seen in the games."

Ironhide Studio has set the bar so high with its Kingdom Rush franchise that it is really hard for me to give any new tower defense games a chance. Luckily I pushed forward with World War 2: Battle of Berlin and discovered that other developers besides Ironhide can make decent TD titles. If you're a fan of strategy war games then you'll want to give Battle of Berlin a spin.
