Seriously, I can’t decide which one I prefer (although there’s just something so inherently awesome about staring down a Tyrannosaurus Rex through the scope of your bow and arrow in a first-person perspective). Similar to Skyrim, Ravensword: Shadowlands lets you seamlessly switch between first-person and third-person views on the fly, and each different playing style feels flawless in execution. RAVENSWORD SHADOWLANDS IPAD MINI FULLRavensword: Shadowlands is probably the closest thing we have right now to a full console experience like Dark Souls or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on mobile devices and even those games didn’t let you battle up close and personal with roaming and flesh-hungry dinosaurs! The game’s lengthy campaign spans a number of breathtaking environments, from lush cliffs and waterfalls, to shimmering ice caves and the wild beasts and creatures you encounter are also wonderfully varied. RAVENSWORD SHADOWLANDS IPAD MINI ANDROIDRavensword: Shadowlands Developer: Crescent Moon Games | Platform: iOS and Android | Price: $6.99 Maybe now I can finally score that 3-strike turkey I’ve been dying to get.ĭownload Kingpin Lanes on the iOS App Store 3. But Kingpin Lanes is so much more than a simple bowling game, with a full-fledged environment you can explore collectable and interactive objects to find and an awesome arcade with four playable mini-games! The game also features five exciting Challenge Lanes, which put wild and crazy obstacles between you and the pins, and have you bowling in a number of amusing locations like the Junkyard, Casino, and Rooftop Penthouse. RAVENSWORD SHADOWLANDS IPAD MINI UPGRADEIn the game, you can play as one of five fully voiced and animated characters, with their own respective stories and objectives as you compete in tournaments, upgrade your stats, and buy new bowling balls in the Pro Shop. The basic bowling gameplay of Kingpin Lanes feels very fluid and smooth, and powered by the Unreal 3D engine, you don’t need me to tell you that the graphics look great. So when I heard that a new hardcore bowling game had rolled out onto the app store this week, you can imagine how quickly I pulled out the old bowling shoes from my virtual closet. I’m a huge fan of bowling: after all, my Den of Geek author profile pic is one of me about to nail another strike down at the local lanes. Kingpin Lanes Developer: Speedbump | Platform: iOS | Price: $1.99 As the hours drone on and Steve gets more and more irritated, the game invites you to “unleash your inner rage with guerrilla weapons and the ‘90s music!” Because destroying a whole line of fax machines just isn’t as much fun unless you’re doing it to the soundtrack of ‘N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye.” However, despite the awesome premise, the game is still a simple timewaster at its heart, and the lack of any progression goals or different workplace environments ultimately prevented Smash the Office from ranking higher on this week’s mobile games list.Ĥ. In the game, you play as Steve Snaps, an exasperated programmer who’s pulling another all-nighter at a company called Slavetech. Well now it looks like Smash the Office from Tuokio will be the perfect outlet we need to release all of that pent-up, work-related frustration in a virtual workforce setting. But either way, you can’t deny the allure of being able to go on such a dreamed-about rampage with little real world consequences. Okay, so maybe that’s actually a good thing. One of the biggest disadvantages about working from home is that after a long day of writing reviews of mediocre games, I can never grab a golf club or sledgehammer and take out my frustrations on all the office equipment around me, or my coworker’s cubicle. Smash the Office Developer: Tuokio | Platform: iOS | Price: $0.99 So don’t let the overall lack of new releases get you down, because here are Den of Geek’s Top 5 picks in mobile gaming for the week of March 15 – March 21:ĥ. Most of the top new and noteworthy mobile games we found this week are pretty expansive: from a colossal action RPG in the style of Skyrim and Dark Souls to a much-needed point-and-click adventure with a wildly endearing art style and the closest thing to a bowling/adventure hybrid you can get. As such, the pickings for this week’s list were pretty slim, but that’s not to say we didn’t manage to find a few diamonds in the shovelware rough. I have to admit, it was a pretty slow couple of days for new releases in the world of mobile gaming this week.
