Mobile Games of the Week (04/05/17)

If you enjoy mobile games, this is your section: Warhammer 40,000: Regicide, a strategy game with Space Marines and Orks; Goat Simulator Waste of Space, about a crazy goat in space, and Rush Rally, a racing game. Let’s play!

Goat Simulator Waste of Space

Goat Simulator Waste of Space: You’ve already survived the zombie apocalypse in Goat-Z, made friends with NPCs in the magical world of Goat MMO Simulator, and what’s left? As the name suggests, the latest expansion of the popular Goat Simulator series takes the action into space. Goat Simulator Waste of Space includes pleasant graphics, challenging gameplay, and a story that’s hugely entertaining thanks to its sheer absurdity (your character is the first goat in space, tasked with founding a colony). Developed by Coffee Stain Studios, Goat Simulator Waste of Space is available on iOS and Android.

Rush Rally

Rush Rally (Free Game): Inspired by those old-school racers, Rush Rally features realistic physics, tire modeling, excellent graphics, and the ability to compete with friends in a retro-style racing game that everyone loves. Race against friends in many different game modes to become the number one rally driver in the world. There are more than thirty tracks with different surface types, weather conditions, and visibility. Drive day or night, in snow or rain—these factors influence how your car handles. Developed by Brownmonster Limited, Rush Rally is available on iOS and Android.

Samorost 3

Samorost 3: The mechanics of classic point-and-click adventures have adapted well to mobile touchscreens. Such is the case with Samorost 3, an exploration and puzzle adventure from the creators of Machinarium. The game follows the adventures of a curious space gnome who uses the powers of a magical flute to travel across the cosmos in search of his mysterious origins. Visit nine unique worlds full of challenges, creatures, and surprises to discover, brought to life with beautiful artwork, sound, and music. And don’t worry if you haven’t played the previous two installments, since the game covers some of that content. Developed by Amanita Design, Samorost 3 is available on iOS and Android.

Voyageur

Voyageur: This ambitious game combines text-based adventures like 80 Days and Lifeline with the seemingly infinite universe seen in the classic 8-bit Elite. The premise of Voyageur is that humanity is scattered among the stars, but your ship is equipped with a strange descent device that allows faster-than-light travel. The twist: you can only go one way—toward the center of the galaxy. The adventure will take you from place to place, negotiating, recruiting new crew members, defending against space pirates, and gradually uncovering the mystery of alien technology. Since the game is algorithmically generated, there’s a lot of repetition, but it’s part of the nature of this incredible special journey. Developed by Bruno Dias, Voyageur is available on iOS and Android.

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide: Set in the Segmentum Obscurus, the story of Warhammer 40,000: Regicide begins with the rattle of a proud Imperial world and the victorious war of its alien conquerors. The Orks live only to wage endless war and know that it’s only a matter of time before the Imperial war machine responds to their invasion. Unlike Space Wolf, which mixes tabletop tactical combat with collectible cards, Regicide is a brutal strategy game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe that lets you command Space Marines and Orks in a bloody single-player campaign. Developed by Hammerfall Publishing, Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is available on iOS and Android.
