148Apps round-up: Road of Kings, Party Pwn, and more
|
iOS

Time is limited. Apps are plentiful. How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store?

Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse. Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day.

Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team...

Balance HD
By Kampo Interactive

"Not just another maze game, Balance HD backs things up with a plethora of social features and appealing leaderboards." (Jennifer Allen)

Road of Kings
By Dancing Sorcerer

"Sporting great gameplay but sub-par graphics, Road of Kings is a great board game RPG that will allow one to immerse themselves in the age of barbarians." (Mike Deneen)

Party Pwn
By gloops, Inc.

"It's eye-catching for sure, and mildly entertaining, but Party Pwn's puzzles fail to live up to the hype." (Stacy Barnes)

"Survive the zombie apocalypse in this choose-your-own-adventure-style survival horror game." (Campbell Bird)

Doodle Kingdom HD

"Drag colored balls to the beaks of birds in this fast but uninspiring casual arcade game." (Jennifer Allen)

Jungle Man: Strike
By CJ E&M

jungle

"A great concept let down by its free-to-play system, Jungle Man Strike is average at best." (Lucy Ingram)

Dungeon Nightmares
By K Monkey

dungeon

"Dungeon Nightmares is truly one of the most immersive and scariest experiences on iOS for some time." (Lucy Ingram)

All this, plus Carter Dotson goes live with the devs behind TowerMadness 2, and then takes on the devs behind Dragon Trials Online.

Chris is a little frightened that he is the oldest writer on the 148Apps staff, but maybe there's someone else out there who remembers when a Mac Plus was cutting edge and the Newton was nothing short of miraculous.
