It was developed by Swedish studio Hello There, creators of simple advert games. You play as a policeman wielding superhuman kung-fu powers, fighting the Nazi armies led by Kung Führer. The combat mechanics utilize the skillful use of two buttons: right attack and left attack. Every successful hit increases the score multiplier, while every missed hit decreases it. Although the gameplay is rather simple, it still required good reflexes and composure, since there are many foes to beat, and they come in various kinds, each of which can be defeated by using a different strategy. Kung Fury: Street Rage features oldschool 2D visuals, resembling those of 16-bit computer and arcade games.

Another annual edition of one of the most popular sports games devoted to basketball. After a several-year break, the franchise returned to the traditional annual release cycle in 2013. Compared to its two poorly-received predecessors, NBA Live 16 brings a considerable number of changes and novelties. Mechanics-wise, the most notable ones include the new LIVE Motion system, which is responsible for AI-controlled players behavior, and physics-based movement model. With the latter, the controls were thoroughly revamped, now giving more control over the basketballers’ actions. The wide range of game modes was enriched with two entirely new ones: LIVE Run — an outdoor online competition of two 5-people teams — and Summer Circuit, in which we travel throughout the USA with our team and play against local opponents. The title is also integrated with the constantly updated system of statistics and leaderboards maintained by Synergy Sports Technology.

Metroid Prime: Blast Ball
July 21, 2016
Arcade, FPP, FPS, Multiplayer, Football, Singleplayer, Shooters, Nintendo Exclusive.
A multiplayer first-person perspective shooter. As Nintendo shuns extreme violence, the title does not feature brutal gameplay like the Doom or Call of Duty series. Instead, you play a futuristic football variation designed for two teams of three. The players control robots which shoot at a giant ball and by doing so, try to put it in the back of the opponent’s net. The thing is, you can be gunned down by the enemy, and the more damage the ball suffers, the smaller it gets, which significantly impedes controlling it towards the end of a match. Gameplay requires strict cooperation between the players, sometimes even sacrifice. The title features pleasant 3D graphics.
The Legend of Legacy
January 22, 2015
RPG, Fantasy, jRPG, Singleplayer, Turn-based, Nintendo Exclusive.
A Japanese fantasy RPG based on the popular – especially in Japan – SaGa series, previously known as Final Fantasy Legend. The game has been developed by FuRyu supported by former Square Enix employees, who have been working on the original series. In the game, the player assumes the role of one of the seven heroes, who want to uncover the mysteries of the island of Avalon. The player is aided in this task by two companions selected from a group of NPCs. The Legend of Legacy delivers a nonlinear plot, which almost entirely depends on the player’s actions and decisions. The gameplay revolves around the exploration of the island, completing quests, i.a. in the city of Initium (which serves also as the main base and place of trade), and waging turn-based battles. In combat, the player can summon ghosts to the battlefield, from which he gains additional abilities. All the characters’ skills can be improved the same way as in the SaGa series - by using the already unlocked abilities. The player is bound to appreciate the game’s visuals, which combine 3D models with hand-drawn world textures.

Aside from a classic campaign consisting of 50 stages, Risky Rescue features an endless mode in the form of a peculiar time race. It is worth going through it though, as the faster we complete each challenge, the more money we earn, which can be used to buy new, better helicopters.

A typical example of a metroidvania game. It was developed by an independent American studio Renegate Kid. The player assumes the role of a lone astronaut who is tasked with exploring the surface of four dangerous planets. Although the player can visit each planet from the beginning of the game (by using a spaceship), it is quickly revealed that, in order to reach hardly accessible places, they must first obtain various upgrades. These provide the protagonist with useful abilities like, for example, diving. Xeodrifter is strongly influenced by 8-bit games from the genre, including the first entries in the Metroid series. However, the developers included some unusual features. There is only one boss in the game – the player is fighting him many times on each planet (after some time the enemy learns new attacks and actions). Some obstacles can be bypassed by jumping between the first plane of the game and the background.

Unkilled
September 3, 2015
Action, FPP, FPS, Post-apocalypse, Singleplayer, Shooters, Zombie.
A free-to-play first person-shooter created specifically for mobile devices; the game uses microtransactions. Unkilled was developed by Madfinger - the creators of the very popular Dead Trigger 2. The player takes on the role of a mercenary, whose task is to contain a zombie epidemic in New York, before it turns into a global apocalypse. The game is a typical representative of the FPS genre - the player is required to eliminate regular zombies, as well as some more powerful bosses, using a wide set of available weapons. The protagonist can also make use of various special abilities, such as bullet-time or rapid fire in a 360 degree radius. Battles take place in various urban locations and after each operation, the player returns to the base where it is possible to upgrade the weaponry. Although Unkilled offers a single-player experience exclusively, it makes up for it with the available multiplicity of short story-based missions. The game uses the touch-based controls taken from Dead Trigger 2. The visuals are advanced, for the creators implemented soft shadows, lighting reflections, as well as complex particle effects.

HoPiKo
September 24, 2015
Arcade, 2D, Puzzle Elements, Indie Games, Platformers, Singleplayer.
A dynamic speed-run platformer game, offering the players a high-difficulty challenge. HoPiKo was developed by Laser Dog Games - the creators of the space runner Alone... and an arcade-logic game PUK. The mobile version of the game can be purchased as a Premium app. The game is set in an alternative, near-future reality, where development of virtual entertainment gets squashed by a virus known as Nanobyte. The titular character is the only hope the desperate players have - able to enter infected devices and battle the digital enemy. In HoPiKo, the player is required to jump across platforms and avoid obstacles located between them. The route to the target has to be planned carefully, as platforms are often oddly positioned, which makes us unable to perform certain actions. As a result, the player may need to re-approach particular levels many times, learning the correct movement sequences by heart. A retro art style dominates both the game's 2D graphics and its 8-bit soundtrack, but at the same time the game uses many modern-day visual effects.
