Dungeon Crawlers Ain't 'Fraid o' no Loots
With that in mind (I think), Ayopa Games and Drowning Monkeys have decided to unleash Dungeon Crawlers on an unsuspecting App Store. The game itself is a combination of more typical dungeon crawlers with multi-floored dungeons, loot and experience grinding and turn-based strategy RPGs. Players will control a team of four adventurers (an alchemist, priest, barbarian, and dwarven warrior) over the course of five chapters, each with their own distinct environments. They'll also be going toe-to-toe with plenty of nasty monsters as they scrounge for stuff.
Dungeon Crawlers is slated for a January 26th release. A universal release, might I add. For a special "introductory price" of $1.99 no less.
Battle Frontier: The Adventures of Arthur Review
Battleloot Adventure Looks All Kinds of Neat
Aside from just being an awesome name to begin with, it's looking like a pretty awesome game to boot. Players get to build and manage their own band of fantasy archetypes as they wander throughout "Kameloot" (ha!) and the surrounding countryside. Each adventurer has their own abilities and gain experience individually. Similarly, lots of gear can be found/earned and thrown on them for various bonuses. But while I'm admittedly a sucker for customization options (party, character, skill or otherwise) and I'm really digging the stylish cartoon visuals, I'm really intrigued by the combat system which looks like a hybrid of traditional turn-based RPG trappings and reflex-based arcade action. Tapping characters and enemies to select and attack respectively is relatively standard, but I'm curious to see how the more "twitchy" actions like assists (tap a second character while attacking) and blocking (tap the targeted character during an enemy's attack) pan out.
There don't seem to be any specifics regarding price just yet, but Battleloot Adventure is set to release on the App Store in February. It's a few months off, but I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Comic Book Artist Steve Uy Announces "World Without End" Strategy RPG and Kickstarter Page
According to Steve Uy, the game's programming is being handled by a team of several developers, although he is handling all the production on the game himself, from the art & design to the writing. Apparently, most of the artwork for the game is done, and the developers are just starting to tie the game's artwork into the actual game. All the artwork is hand-drawn as well. The game will feature illustrated cutscenes as well, along with a director's commentary that will be available once the game is completed.
The game is currently in development, although it is not fully funded yet; Steve Uy has launched a project page on Kickstarter to help fund the game, and those who contribute will receive a variety of bonuses; those who spend over $500 will be eligible to be beta testers for the game. This sounds like a labor of love for the creator, and one that is taking up his life right now. Click here to visit the Kickstarter page, and to see more art from the upcoming project.
