A science-fiction top-down online shooter intended for mobile platforms, created by a Polish development studio, Sathra Games. The action of Decompression takes us to the near future. We assume the role of a colonial infantry commando entangled in a corporate war for resources.

The core of the gameplay is a dynamic, old school multiplayer competition in one of the three classic game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. We have eight unique and curiously designed weapons at our disposal. The game, inspired by the classics of the hard science-fiction genre (Alien, Outland, Total Recall and the like), is characterized by high quality graphics created using the cel shading technology.

Another installment of the popular arcade platformer game series developed by Vicarious Visions. Once more, the player has to face the ruthless Kaos who intends to take over Skylands with the use of a powerful weapon — Doomstation of Ultimate Doomstruction. His plans can only be thwarted by the team of Skylanders appointed by Master Eon. Similarly to its predecessors, Skylanders SuperChargers uses real action figurines that are transferred to the virtual world with Portal of Power. The novelty list includes, first and foremost, twenty customizable vehicles that can move on the land and in the air, as well as twenty new heroes, the eponymous SuperChargers. To enjoy their abilities, we have to buy them separately since the starter pack features the game itself, two action figurines, one vehicles, and the aforementioned Portal of Power. Moreover, the title supports over three hundred action figurines released alongside the previous productions.

An unusual racing game created by Rebellion. The game introduces a futuristic world, where illegal races of cutting-edge motorbikes are a common view on the city streets. The player takes part in illegal racing, set in a modern metropolis illuminated by colorful neon lights. The action is presented from the first person perspective, while during a race we do not directly control the motorbike – instead, the individual moves are performed through touching corresponding places on the screen. Aside from collecting new motorbikes, Raceline CC offers the ability to tune the performance and outside looks of those we already own. The game focuses on single-player gameplay – the online rankings have to suffice for multiplayer enthusiasts. Additionally, visuals maintain their consistent high quality, thanks to employing Apple’s Metal technology.
