Check the end of this round-up for a bit of teaser information.Īscension: Chronicle of the Godslayer (Universal, $5, 2-4 Player with AI, Async Online and Pass and Play modes)
Special update: According to the PR folks for Ravensburger, Puerto Rico will hopefully arrive on the app store tomorrow on August 4th. I can’t condone that sort of thing (and have no hope of figuring the official legality of any of them), but perhaps the interest will show major publishers there is a market for many of their games ported onto the iOS platform. Some provide a very polished experience (I’m looking at you, Ascension), some are simply off-the-wall unique (Yoomi and Duo), while others simply hold a large promise of things to come (insert “Everygame” here…) Perhaps the strangest theme of this column are the number of games that are near blatant rip-offs of popular boardgames. The trend of including multiplayer play continues, both with new games as well as updates to older titles (BattleLine was just upgraded for online play, while Ticket to Ride had a pass and play mode recently added.) What follows is a slice of games released in the past couple of months with at least some boardgame or strategic elements. While that’s a great thing for gamers, it does mean it can become difficult to sort through which games are worth a deeper look. The boardgame and boardgame-related releases on iPhone and iPad continue to increase.
