Chimeraland is one of the strangest games you can play on mobile right now

As part of my job here at 148Apps, I often explore games I have no intention of reviewing or otherwise writing about. Part of being able to offer substantial criticism or perspective on mobile games is to understand a lot of what is out there, even if I don't end up turning those experiences into content or critique.

I went into Chimeraland fully expecting to just dip my toe in to understand what it is before moving on, but it didn't take long to realize this game is... remarkable, to say the least. Although it mostly purports to be an open-world survival rpg (which it mostly is, by the way), it also seem dedicated to being as strange and unwieldy as possible. It's a huge download with an almost minute long initial load (on an iPad Pro, even), and across my first hour with the game I had a hard time making sense of much of what was going on. Check out the video above to see what I'm talking about.

The folks who brought you Marvel: Future Fight and Star Wars: Force Arena are hitting appstore shelves once again with their latest strategy MMO release, Iron Throne.

In Iron Throne, classic role playing hooks like questing, real-time battles, and character upgrading merges with tactical warfare via large-scale strategic wars against other players. All in the aid of vanquishing evil and working your way up to the kingship, the more your army levels up, the more your citadel will evolve into an empire to be proud of.

Joining you in your pursuit of the crown are a host of travellers just wondering around Iron Throne’s ambitious open world. All of which can be acquired and levelled up, before being rolled out to act as captain or officer in any of your respective castles. It’s by strengthening and growing these heroes that you’ll be able to increase your reign over the kingdom in the hope of succeeding.

Those wishing to experience Iron Throne’s high quality 3D visuals in a multiplayer, rather than solo, fashion can dip into any of the game’s PVP modes. Leading the pack is the ever-popular Battle Royale mode which sees you duke it out with 20 other players. A classic-style Team Deathmatch is also on-hand, where communication is pivotal to winning.

Do you have what it takes to stake a claim to the Iron Throne against the millions already playing? Find out by downloading it for free today from the App Store or Google Play.

Sword Art Online: Integral Factor guide - Beginner's tips that are integral to success

Posted by Campbell Bird on March 30th, 2018

Sword Art Online: Integral Factor is a new free-to-play multiplayer role-playing game that can be overwhelming. It combines a lot of systems from different kinds of games and lumps them in with the fourth-wall breaking world of Sword Art Online. Lukcy for you, we’ve banged our heads against Integral Factor’s systems and discovered a pretty good road map for getting you started. See below:

Re-rolling 101

The first thing you need to know about Sword Art Online: Integral Factor is that it’s a gatcha-style game. Also known as a game with “loot boxes,” Integral Factor relies on players spending a premium currency to get a chance at unlocking powerful, rare items. Luckily, Integral Factor provides players with a generous amount of premium currency to spend right away, so if you don’t like what you unlock from the start, you can re-roll, meaning you delete the game, re-download it, and try again. It may be a little time consuming, but it can let you get the items you want without having to spend money.

Age of Wushu Dynasty is a mobile reimagining of Age of Wushu [Sponsored]

Posted by 148Apps Staff on December 11th, 2015

Age of Wushu Dynasty is more than a mere mobile port of the PC MMO, Age of Wushu - it's a brand new game in itself.

That being said, it does carry on the legacy remarkably well. You'll still be dedicating yourself to a Kung Fu school, battling other martial arts masters for supremacy, and exploring a beautiful world based on the fictional Chinese world of Jianghu.

We reached out to Choc Qian, Senior Marketing Manager at Snail Games, to learn more about how Age of Wushu Dynasty differs from the PC MMO, the technical limitations of mobile as an MMO platform, and how Age of Wushu Dynasty will crossover with the PC MMO - if at all.

The mobile MMO Age of Wushu Dynasty will launch in January 2016

Posted by 148Apps Staff on December 7th, 2015

Snail Games's mobile martial arts MMO, Age of Wushu Dynasty, is all set for launch on iOS and Android in January 2016.

It's based on the 2013 PC MMORPG, Age of Wushu, and transports you to a stylised version of the Ming Dynasty era of Chinese history.
