2K and Firaxis have launched a spooky turn-based strategy game, Haunted Hollow, where players build a mansion and summon monsters in order to control an unsuspecting town. Players are able to upgrade their team of monsters with skills, powers, and special enhancements, all while enjoying single player or multiplayer through Game Center.
“As Firaxis explores the potential of the mobile platform, our teams remain committed to creating content that is fun, innovative, and true to our core,” said Steve Martin, president and studio head at Firaxis Games. “Haunted Hollow represents the heart of the Firaxis studio in providing an in-depth strategy experience that speaks to our core fan base, while simultaneously appealing to a broader audience with its casual graphics and eclectic gameplay features.”
There is a new turn-based strategy game landing on iOS devices next week. 2K and Firaxis Games announces Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol, a strategic free-to-play World War I title that revolves around air-combat scenarios throughout more than 120 missions. Players select from 30 available vintage WWI aircraft and will build a team of Ace pilots that offer their own unique skills. Pocket Gamer notes that players gain access to equipment upgrades and can unlock pro maneuvers like rolls, loops, and slips for their pilots.
Besides single player mode, there is two-player hot-pad or asynchronous multiplayer modes through Game Center. Sid Meier’s Ace Patrol is designed and programmed by the designer himself, Sid Meier, and players can look for it next week on May 9th.
Ten years ago a little game by the name of Grand Theft Auto III took the world by storm and revolutionized the way that games were played. Along with causing a boatload of controversy, the title went on to birth a whole new genre of open world games. It only seems appropriate that a decade later Rockstar has decided that it was time to go back and give the game a proper anniversary re-release.
Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition is set to land on the App Store next week, December 15th to be exact, for a mere $4.99. This is a huge deal for fans of the series, as well as for a whole new generation of iOS gamers that will be introduced to the franchise. It somewhat goes without saying, but it will be interesting to see if this is the kind of title that can stand the test of time. We look forward to taking it out for a “test drive” very soon.
We cover it all. The latest games, apps and more are all reviewed across the 148Apps network of sites. Just take a look at what you might have missed this week.
