Mobile Games of the Week (05/24/18)
Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition masterfully compresses the latest Final Fantasy epic into a mobile-friendly RPG that captures much of the central story and charm of the fifteenth installment while reducing the tedious JRPG grind. This adaptation handles the transition from console RPG to touch screen seamlessly, swapping photorealism for cute chibi-style graphics while still delivering many of the same story beats and combat complexities. The game's first chapter is free, with additional chapters available as individual purchases or as a bundle. Developed by Square Enix, Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition is available on iOS and Android.

ICEY

ICEY is an indie game that offers a polished and satisfying 2D beat 'em up experience on touch screens, as you join ICEY in battle against the villain Judas and his horde of robots. In true hack-and-slash style, you fight through common enemies and powerful bosses, unleashing combos and special abilities while unraveling an intriguing story that breaks the fourth wall with a mind-bending omniscient narrator. With action-packed combat, a polished sci-fi anime aesthetic, and metafictional fun, ICEY is an excellent action game you should try on your mobile device. Developed by FantaBlade Network, ICEY is available on iOS and Android.

Kid Tripp

Without a doubt, Kid Tripp is the closest thing to playing the classic Super Mario Bros. on mobile devices. The game uses touch controls to fulfill its platforming mandate as you traverse numerous pixelated worlds, jumping side to side while collecting coins and avoiding enemies, all before time runs out. The premise is simple: after crashing his plane into the face of a wandering giraffe, our hero now finds himself fleeing from the rest of the animal kingdom, which is bent on revenge for the violent accident that harmed the long-necked animal. Developed by Michael Burns, Kid Tripp is exclusively available on iOS.

PathPix Edge

PathPix Edge is a coloring game where you must draw a line that completes squares between two squares of the same number, with the number of squares you fill equal to that number. PathPix Edge is really tricky, especially when lines get long because you need to leave space for other lines to be drawn. But it's so fascinating and satisfying that it's worth trying and enjoying the 180 challenges the game has to keep you hooked for a long time. Developed by Kris Pixton, PathPix Edge is available on iOS and Android.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends (Free Game)

This title is a clear challenger to Blizzard's Hearthstone, offering some familiar collectible card game mechanics while introducing new and interesting elements to the mix. Here you can explore the world of Tamriel in campaign mode, where you'll find a varied combination of allies and enemies from The Elder Scrolls series in their battle for dominance. The new and fun elements of Legends include multiple options that force you to smartly divide resources, as well as a Rune system that gives losing players free cards or even spells. Developed by Dire Wolf Digital, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is available on iOS and Android.
