Stoic Studio and publisher Versus Evil has announced that tactical RPG The Banner Saga will be available on tablets this summer.
The Banner Saga's gameplay is a mix of choice-based conversations, turn-based battles, and survival-based travelling sections.
Stoic consists of ex-Bioware developers and have stuck to the style of RPG they're familiar with for The Banner Saga. In other words, if y...
Updated on June 25th, at 11:21: The new version of Big Action Mega Fight! is now available. It's £1.49 / $1.99 on iOS and £1.09 / $1.99 on Android.
If you already downloaded the iOS version when it was free, you'll get this new paid-for remake for nothing. Android users will need to buy the new version.
Bronze Award-winning brawler Big Action Mega Fight! will be re-launched on iOS and Andr...
Plants vs Zombies 2 has been updated with a bunch of new content, and it's fair to say the Bronze Award-winning lane defence game is now kicking it old school.
The Dark Ages update drops some ye-olde-timey action into the game. There are new undead menaces from back in the day, and a gargantuar that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Game of Thrones.
The new levels in the update...
Gemini Rue developer and point-and-click revivalist Wadjet Eye Games will bring the first three games in its lauded Blackwell saga to iOS next week, on July 10th.
These adventures star spirit medium Rosa Blackwell and her spectral sidekick from the '30s, Joey Mallone.
Together they'll traipse across New York, solving murders and helping confused spirits come to terms with death.
Morbid st...
If you can't stand pay-to-win and other foul practices of free-to-play games then FFFFF2P might give you a little giggle.
Lumena developer Elevate Entertainment describes its upcoming game FFFFF2P as "partly satire, partly nostalgia, and partly an honest attempt to make a fun game in a F2P world."
You play as a little pixel guy as he attempts to rescue Princess Pixel from an evil ogre called...
Capcom and Nexon are currently developing Street Fighter IV Arena for mobile. It's being beta tested in Korea right now.
It's been four years since the Silver Award-winning Street Fighter IV came out on iOS. It's been three years since Street Fighter IV: Volt Battle Protocol, too.
So another Street Fighter IV spin-off seems a little overdue right now. But hey, we're not complaining - we'll g...
Badland creator Frogmind has said that it's interested in using the free-to-play model for its future games.
It was Frogmind's COO Teemu Maki-Patola who revealed this information while talking with PocketGamer.biz at PG Connects last week.
Maki-Patola says that the reason for Frogmind's interest in free-to-play is not due to Badland doing poorly as a premium games.
In fact, he says that B...
Super Pixelander is a big, bright, pixel-edged shooter from the creator of the Danmaku Unlimited series, and it's set to hit the App Store and the Google Play Store on Thursday.
The game mixes together aspects of Super Crate Box and the very best arcade blasters to create a tilty, gem-grabbing twitch-fest that's a lot of fun.
You control a spaceship tasked with mining glowing asteroids. You ...
As someone who did the vast majority of his cartoon watching during the golden period of the late '80s and early '90s, The Powerpuff Girls doesn't really hold much cultural cachet.
But then, to my knowledge, neither the Ninja Turtles nor the Thundercats have ever starred in a decent iPhone game tie-in.
Chalk one up to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, then.

The Bronze Award-winning Canabalt has been around for five years now. Despite that, it's only just got widescreen support.
That's not the coolest thing to arrive in the game's latest update, mind. That 'prestigious' title belongs to the new music.
It has lyrics spat by American rapper Mega Ran, you see. One of the tracks is called Mega Ranabalt, suitably.
There are also new playable chara...
Uppercut Games proved that it knows how to create beautiful decay in the rusty robot apocalypse of Epoch and Epoch 2.
The studio is taking that talent and applying it to the decaying ruins of Submerged's city. Created in Unreal Engine 4, this new game by Uppercut looks fantastic in screenshots.
Submerged is an adventure and exploration game. You explore the half-submerged tropical ruins in a...
2K has announced that Civilization Revolution 2 is the next installment of the long-running strategy game series to be coming to mobile. It'll arrive on iOS on July 2nd; Android soon after.
The first Civilization Revolution did not impress us when ported from PC to iOS back in 2009. This was largely due to it lacking the accessibility required for the touch screen.
2K is hoping to avoid tha...
Bronze Award-winning brawler Big Action Mega Fight! will be re-launched on iOS and Android as a premium app later this week, following negative player feedback about the game's free-to-play structure.
Players "wanted to get to the core fighting gameplay without resorting to minor time delays and inconveniences," says Double Stallion Games's Nicolas Barrière-Kucharski.
The new game will have ...
MojoTouch has found a copy of comedy adventure Simon the Sorcerer 2 in the back of some closet, dusted it off, and released it on Android as a fancy 20th Anniversary Edition.
You'll once again slip on the ill-fitting robe of hapless wizard chappy Simon, and try to find a way back to the real world using nothing but your wits and any item that hasn't been bolted down.
Along the way you'll hav...
The next game by Bike Baron creator Vladimir "Qwiboo" Roth is a simple planet-hopping platformer called Beyond Gravity.
The game presents you with a series of spinning planets, and you simply tap to bounce your astronaut chappy between lumps of space rock. Everything is randomly generated, so no two sessions are the same.
The game's also got goals, power-ups, score multipliers, and upgrades ...
In case you hadn't noticed, this week was all about our very own conference, PG Connects, which took place in the heart of Helsinki.
While we're sure you were eagerly keeping up to date with all of the news gushing out of Finland, you might have missed a few stories amid the downpour.
Don't worry about that though, because we've hand-picked the biggest stories of the week, giving you the cha...
As you might have noticed, Pocket Gamer was in Helsinki this week hosting the Pocket Gamer Connects mobile gaming conference.
It's pretty rare for the PG Podcast hosts to be in the same postcode, let alone the same building, so we decided it would be the perfect time to record an extended podcast special.
In attendance are familiar voices, long forgotten hosts, Pocket Gamer editors, and some...
It was one of the tech world's worst kept secrets, but Amazon dutifully put on the razzle dazzle to announce its Fire Phone on Wednesday night.
The online shopping giant has been diversifying at a staggering rate in recent years, with the company's entry to the smartphone market trailing its assault on the tablet world by only two-and-a-half years.
Following the lead of the Amazon Kindle Fir...
After playing some 50-odd games in a gruelling 4-hour marathon for our Very Big Indie Pitch at Pocket Gamer Connects, I think I'd quite happily never play or look at a video game again.
But, after the pitch, I had to hit up Jussi Pullinen of Tree Men Games to have another quick play with his ultra-addictive car chase game (and VBIP second place finisher) Pako.
It's a very simple game: yo...
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new Android games.
Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville
By Radiangames - buy on Android (£2.49 / $3.99)
I'm no big Powerpuff Girls fan, so the prospect of a PPG game for Android doesn't get me too excited. But a button-bashing Metroidvania from the terrific Radiangames?
Now that's something I can get ...
