Monster Catching RPG Duel Revolution Coming Soon to Mobile

While the popular Pokémon RPGs remain exclusive to Nintendo platforms it seems that indie studios will continue to feed the demand on iOS and Android.

We had Monster Legacy and Micromon earlier this year. And now Prodigious Works has another one on the way. Yep, in 2015, it'll bring its 3D monster catching RPG Duel Revolution to iOS and Android.

It seems to be a Pokémon RPG in everything but name. It even has the tagline, "Can you catch them all?" You wander around a modern fantasy world collecting and battling over 100 different monsters. You'll be able to fully customise your character, including their gender, skin colour, clothes, hair, and accessories.

It'll also have online play with 1v1 tournaments and, perhaps, other battle formats - that much is yet to be set in concrete.

The plan is to let you download it for free in early 2015. And then, every three months, a new chapter with new monsters, places, tournaments, characters, and events will be released.
So, if you're an iOS or Android player looking for a Pokémon-style RPG, Duel Revolution might be the game you're after.

You can find out more about it on its official website.

Exiles Gaming Review

"Is she drunk?" I wondered, as the Enforcer fired yet another missile a good six feet to the left of the snarling alien that was rapidly descending on our position.

The beautifully rendered sun glinted overhead, illuminating each and every one of the sand worm's fangs as I wrestled with the controls to line up the next shot - the last in fact before we ran out of ammo. It fired into the dunes. I may have face palmed. I definitely swore.

Turning tail, we made a hasty retreat to our only option remaining: the teleporter lying 200m to the right.

Unfortunately, instead of finding ourselves in a new part of the planet the game loaded in a vast expanse of, well, nothing, punctuated by the occasional lens flare from a non-existent sun. The Enforcer promptly belly-flopped and died.

This is Exiles - a game buggier than a bed bug bugging out on a dune buggy.

One small step for man, a giant leap for a megalomaniac

The core concept, however, is an intriguing one. It's the year 2375 and humanity has left Earth behind to populate a vast network of planets across the galaxy.

Alas, over on Aurora 9, it's less songs-round-the-campfire and more sobs-round-the-funeral-pyre as the colony is driven to isolation and desolation by a corrupt governor.

Sat in a shadowy office, he's bent on enslaving the population with a lethal virus. As one of the Planet's Elite Enforcers, he's infected you with the disease too - the jerk.

Played out in stunning 3D graphics, you must now race against the clock to explore this distant world and unravel the secrets behind the governor's nefarious plot.

As we've come to expect from Crescent Moon, Exiles is a delightfully huge RPG, offering a planet-sized smorgasbord of caves, cities, spaceships, and deserts for you to explore.

This is the studio behind Ravensword: Shadowlands, and its experience in creating rich worlds and stories on mobile shines in every pithy one-liner and well-crafted NPC.

The console-quality 3D graphics are illustrated perfectly in the brand new day / night circle. At midday, the sun hangs overhead creating the sort of lens flare that would make JJ Abrams cry joyful tears. At night, the sky is lit up with thousands of stars so perfect, you could gaze at them forever.

Which is just as well, because you'll be spending a lot of time running around underneath those heavens. The primary campaign is fairly short – just a few hours – but you'll rack up the most time just getting from point A to point B.

It's not uncommon to get distracted by an intruiging side mission, run out of fuel, and spend the next half an hour hot-footing it across the 3km of desert separating you and your primary quest.

Call in the bug spray

Still, the time spent travelling wouldn't be so bad if the control system wasn't so glitchy. The left hand side of the screen handles character movement, while the right tilts the camera, aims weapons, and houses three buttons that become your main attacks in combat.

Trouble is, an annoying glitch means that whenever you put your finger on the left hand side of the, your character automatically leaps forward a good metre or so. If you're trying to reposition your character sideways behind cover, that can be fatal.

The aiming system is similarly difficult, with the imprecise controls meaning it's almost impossible to lock on to a target. It means "spray and pray" becomes the strategy of choice; buttering toast is a more tactical affair.

At its core, Exiles is a stunning world to get lost in. The vistas are some of the best we've seen on

Android and the plot, though short, is compelling.

With a generous sprinkle of patch updates, this could be one of the best mobile RPGs out there - just a little bit of extra spit and polish could buff it up from bronze to silver.

Nothing Can Stop Barty - Innovative Parkour Game Barty Run

Barty is a clever pink pig landing on a dangerous island for the same reason as Lodumani, that is, to look for treasure. Barty Run is an interesting parkour with beautiful scenes and characters which will undoubtedly give you a special experience while you're running to avoid the sharp spear, look out the attack from dangerous animals and escape the clutches of Lodumani.

No matter from the graphic or the gameplay, Barty can be an interesting and innovative parkour. When seeing the beautiful jungle and all kinds of colour & lustre fruits, you'll like it. The controls work great and are very intuitive, the characters are fun with hilarious facial expression. Pay attention to those bananas hidden behind jungle. Keep eating them can help you save strength, otherwise you'll be caught by Lodumani soon.

Download Barty Run

Barty cannot be controlled who will go on his default way, while the controlled object is things around it. For instance, usually we slide left or right can control the character to move and jump, but Barty Run is different. If you want to eat banana, you need to slide across it, and the same is to gold. When you meet a poisonous mushroom, pushing it down will help Barty passing smoothly.

Barty Run Features:
● FREE TO PLAY
● Innovative game play, use different gestures to defeat enemies!
● Amazing 2D and 3D graphics
● Beautiful side parallax scrolling endless level
● Upgradeable power ups and abilities
● Physics based banana throwing
● Simple and fun to play but challenging to master
● Leaderboards and achievements. Play and compete with your friends

Barty can revive by exchanging life with banana and continue running, but if dead over three times, you'll get to buy live from shop, so be careful! Why not exercise your counterfactual thinking ability right now?

Barty Run is available on Get5 Store and App Store:

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on Sale Right After Major Update

Last week saw the surprise update of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, which was a welcome surprise because it's a darn fine Grand Theft Auto game. If you haven't checked out this game in the series, now is as good a time as ever, as the game's dropped in price to $2.99. This was initially a DS spinoff of the GTA series, but a fantastic game nonetheless, with all the crime action of the series represented well in a scaled-down form, and with a rather compelling drug dealing economy to play with. Granted, there are Grand Theft Auto 3 and its sequels on the App Store now, but this one actually holds its own.

Both the regular version and the HD version of the game are on sale, which may be confusing to some folks. The game launched on iPhone before the iPad existed, then got a separate iPad version. Last week, both versions were updated to be universal, but the HD version is set to be removed from sale eventually so that there's only the one universal version on the store – the HD version only still exists so that people who bought that version get the benefits of the universal app. This is a better, albeit more complicated way of handling it, versus Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light which just updated one version and left the other out in the cold.

Nigel Farage Is Upset by Student Team's UKIP Parody Game UKIK

UKIP leader Nigel Farage is upset about a free Android game called UKIK made by 18-year-old students that parodies him and his party.

UKIK has you playing as Nicholas Fromage as he kicks stereotypes of immigrants off the white cliffs of Dover and into the sea.

You tap the screen to power up your kick, and tap again in order to release, then watch as the immigrant you kicked sails through the air.

There are three measurements for your kick in the game. Distance and Score are obvious ones, while the third is "UK Economy Down," which is measured in a rising percentage.

More telling of the game's political slant is what the Score measurement was before an update saw it changed - it measured Racism.

Farage saw the game before the update swapped out the Racism measure and spoke to the Kentish Gazette about it.

"Those elements are risible and in many ways pathetic. I think I'm quite well known for having a sense of humour," Farage said.
"I'm a public figure and of course people are going to have views. But elements of this game appear to cross the line."

UKIK was made by students as part of a technology class at Canterbury Academy.
On the game's Google Play page, the students describe themselves a "a team of developers who create games based upon controversial news stories for the purposes of entertainment and to encourage political discussion amongst young people.

They also add that the "purpose of [UKIK] is to highlight the importance of a diverse culture for our great nation as well as make a mockery of extremist views."
Farage said that he welcomed their opinions and wouldn't look to stifle their criticism.
"Fair play to them for having a bit of fun," Farage added.  "If they want to go away and look at UKIP policies, they will actually learn a lot."
