Garters and Ghouls is a game with an identity crisis. Does it want to be an RPG or an action shooter? Who knows! Who cares… I get to kill bad guys!

RavenSword: The Fallen King. Coming Soon to iPhone (and iPod touch).

Like RPGs? In association with Human Powered Games and Cresent Moon Games, iPhone publisher Chillingo are announcing they will soon be bringing RavenSword: The Fallen King to iPhone (and iPod touch).

Similar to previous titles including: Assassin’s Creed, Hero of Sparta and Dungeon Hunter (to name just a few), RavenSword: The Fallen King is another fully-immersive 3D role playing-like adventure, set in the sunny times of damsels-in-distress and knights-in-shining-armor.

In Chillingo’s words:

“Controls are similar to most of the other 3D games, Hero of Sparta and Assassin’s Creed. The big difference with RavenSword – The Fallen King is that is has tilt look up and down, and it has First Person Mode. There’s also a recalibrate button right at the top right just in case you change positions while playing (standing or sitting) ..”

The game also has some pretty trippy concept art. Check that out below!

According to Josh Presseisen of Crescent Moon Games, we can expect “a cross between an adventure game and an RPG”, comparing the game to the likes of Oblivion and Zelda.

Gameplay Footage

More hi-res concept artwork and screenshots can be found over at the official game site. It is worth noting that the site states the game will work best on the new iPhone 3GS, but presumably the title will still be available for all iPhone models.

Look out for RavenSword: The Fallen King dropping for iPhone (and iPod touch). Fall 2009.

Hybrid: Eternal Whisper is a hardcore action RPG with a killer combat system. It’s very dialogue-heavy, especially in the beginning, but the fighting makes it all worth it.

HYBRID: Eternal Whisper Trailer Released

Gamevil has just released a new teaser for their upcoming game HYBRID: Eternal Whisper, which is set to release in the US App Store this Fall. The product of the same team behind the amazing RPG Zenonia, HYBRID has a lot of promise. Gamevil’s calling HYBRID a “a new breed of stylish action adventure,” and it looks like it’ll focused more on combat and special moves than on a storyline. There will be 150 levels, a complex storyline, and plenty of challenge. If Zenonia’s success and level of polish is anything to go by, HYBIRD should delight the hardcore gaming crowd.

Gamevil doesn’t have a huge App Store presence on this side of the ocean yet (their only games with English localizations are Zenonia and Baseball Superstars) but from what I understand, they’ve got a solid presence in Korea. Like their other two US releases, HYBRID will be a port from a popular Korean title.

A terrorist attack is about to occur, you play the role of a biotic super soldier who is the only one able to stop it. Can you manage to stop the attack in time?

Zenonia showcases what iPhone RPGs should look like. Sure, it has its flaws; the generic plot doesn’t do it any favors. But beautiful graphics and amazing depth make this a must-have for most RPG fans.

CozyQuest is an answer to the desire for traditional RPG action in an MMORPG that is being built from the ground up and provides some of the best developer feedback around. While it needs time before it can completely dominate its space, there’s an awful lot that’s done right.

Aurora Feint II: Arena Daemons is a complex, compelling match-3 with actual depth, featuring many multiplayer features and quite a bit of strategy. While it’s plagued with crashes and will drain your battery, the actual game is excellent.

Anyone who likes a good dungeon hack will probably enjoy Rogue Touch. Be sure to set your expectations for graphical splendor appropriately low, though, as this old school RPG uses simple 2D sprites in its randomly generated dungeons. While the graphics are decidedly low-tech they are quite appropriate considering this is a port of one of the oldest RPGs in existence.

Interesting game with MMORPG aspirations that builds on the Bejeweled idea by adding (annoying) RPG elements.
