Valiant Hearts: The Great War Review (Gamezebo)

Added: 05.07.2014 9:13 | 28 views | 0 comments


Gamezebo Andy Chalk writes: "Valiant Hearts: The Great War doesnt know what it wants to be. Its a game that features carrier pigeons wearing French army helmets that also explains, in just enough detail to be unpleasant, how chlorine gas works. Yet its still a more memorable game about war than just about any big-budget blockbuster in recent memory, a testament to the quality of its presentation and the effectiveness of its honest, unblinking look at the most horrific war of the modern era."

Battleheart Legacy Review (iPhone, iPad)

Gamezebo Rating: 90

To say there aren't many good RPGs on mobile devices would be a bit of an exaggeration. What would be slightly more accurate is to say there aren't a ton of excellent RPGs made specifically for a phone or tablet. Mika Mobile helps make that less true with Battleheart Legacy, an attractive, challenging and deep fantasy role-playing experience that fits touchscreen devices like a glove -- or possibly a gauntlet, depending on how you customize your hero.

There was, indeed, a previous Battleheart game from the same developer, but Battleheart Legacy is more spiritual successor than sequel. It begins the way many RPGs do, with a lone character in a small town destined for bigger and better things. The initial tasks that allow you to get your feet wet eventually give way to a quest to find the three shards of a Solar Crystal in order to claim a hefty reward from your king.

5 Toy Rush Tips From the Developer (iPad)

We can write hints and tips until we're blue in the face here at Gamezebo (in fact, we frequently do), but nobody can really offer the kind of insight that a game's creators can. So when Uber Entertainment's John Comes contacted me to see if Gamezebo would like to share some of for Toy Rush once you've processed every bit of brilliance the folks at Uber have shared below.

Romans In My Carpet! Review (iPhone, iPad, Android)

Gamezebo Rating: 80

"As far as you know" is one of my favorite phrases. For instance, as far as you know, there aren't literal armies of mites doing battle in the fibers of your carpets. Except according to Romans In My Carpet!, you'd be oh so wrong. Witching Hour Studios wants you to dive in and take control of these unusually strategic warring bugs, and as soon as you lift that veil of ignorance, you might just enjoy it.

Witching Hour knows a thing or two about turn-based war games since they're the same team that did the well-received . Compared to those games, Romans is simpler, smaller (obviously) in scale and not as intimidating to people who might not be hardcore strategy buffs. Yet it somehow manages not to skimp on either the meat and potatoes of the gameplay or its delightfully well-realized underfoot world.

TwoDots Review (iPhone, iPad)

Added: 02.06.2014 14:34 | 72 views | 0 comments


Gamezebo Rating: 60

Last year's minimalist megahit, Dots, challenged players to one of the simplest game mechanics ever created: connect dots. This simplicity, along with its clean design and perfectly timed short-burst play, made it a permanent fixture on millions of smartphones. Its sequel, TwoDots, utilizes the same basic gameplay but offers more variety through level-based progression and in-game obstacles. Unfortunately, it's adopted a more aggressive system of monetization that becomes its own recurring obstacle.

TwoDots is most reminiscent of the "Moves" game type in Dots, whose goal was to collect as many dots as possible in a finite number of moves. You still collect dots by drawing lines between same-colored circles horizontally or vertically (never diagonally), removing and receiving all points that the line touches. In TwoDots, however, the goal is not simply to attain the highest score possible: you have objectives that must be completed in order to pass each of its 85 individual levels.

Dungelot 2 Review (iPhone, iPad)

Added: 30.05.2014 20:30 | 61 views | 0 comments


Gamezebo Rating: 70

I've never played the original Dungelot, but I understand it was quite good; a fact emphasized by . That means I can't directly compare it with the recently-released free-to-play sequel Dungelot 2, but it also insulates me from any comparative bias I might have. After all, I can't say I liked the first one better if I haven't played it, right?

Dungelot 2 is a very simple twist on the Rogue-like format. Most of the familiar elements are here - randomly appearing monsters and treasure, one-click combat and perma-death - but instead of having to navigate a labyrinth of rooms and twisted corridors, the dungeon is represented by a simple grid. From the entry point of each level, you can "uncover" any adjacent room - that is, any square on the grid - by tapping on it, revealing creatures, loot, traps and other such dungeon decor.

Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past Review (iPhone, iPad)

Added: 27.05.2014 19:00 | 44 views | 0 comments


Gamezebo Rating: 70

There was a time when a younger, more naive version of me believed that unwavering faithfulness to the source material was the key to any cross-media adaptation. Then I saw the Watchmen movie. Zack Snyder bashing aside, it was a relief to find out that Glitchsoft's Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past mobile game was based not on the current film but the classic comic book story with which it shares a name. It succeeds completely as a tribute but less so as a gameplay experience, muddling its old school platformer vibe with imprecise controls and repetitive enemies.

Ruzzle Adventure Review (iPhone, iPad)

Added: 27.05.2014 15:00 | 37 views | 0 comments


Gamezebo Rating: 80

Learning is fun. Honest. 2012's is one example of a very successful attempt at blending vocabulary and video games, and MAG Interactive's latest, Ruzzle Adventure, demonstrates there are still good times a-plenty to have with letters.

Like its predecessor, Ruzzle Adventure primarily revolves around building words from a grid on-screen. You chain letters by swiping up, down, and diagonally - think Bookworm by PopCap (or the original Ruzzle, of course).

Every letter contains a point value, with consonants generally being worth more than vowels. Each letter you utilize is added to your overall score. Letters sometimes increase in value the longer they're left on the board, so it's not uncommon for a two-letter word to bring in greater rewards than a five-letter word.
