Mobile games of the week (07/22/15)

In this edition of our recommended mobile games of the week, we have incredible titles like Lost Within (a survival horror), The Trace: Murder Mystery Game (a detective story in the form of a graphic adventure) and the mobile adaptation of This War of Mine. That, and more, below…

10000000

And we start playing with a hybrid between puzzle and RPG. 10000000 (Ten Million) puts you in command of a nameless adventurer trapped in a dungeon. To escape, you have to score 10,000,000 points in a single run through the dungeon. Although the character moves forward, fighting monsters and collecting treasures, the progress is determined by you as the rows or columns of icons slide on the board below to match three similar ones. That will allow you to easily kill enemies, open chests, or upgrade your character to face the Bosses. Developed by EightyEight Games LTD, 10000000 is available on iOS and Android.

Dog Heroes (Free)

Embark on a doggy adventure to help Dock and his team defeat the evil Hedgsagor and his clan. Dog Heroes takes place in side-scrolling scenarios, jumping between platforms and eliminating enemies, across four worlds with twenty-five levels each. With each completed challenge you receive stars that you can exchange for team members (Dock, Guido, Laika, and Askar), who have different special abilities besides a shared laser pistol. You collect stars throughout the levels and they also serve to unlock worlds. If you were waiting for a pure action adventure to save the planet, this is your game. Developed by José Cuevas, Dog Heroes is available on iOS and Android.

Lost Within

If you like survival horror then you have to play Lost Within. A game similar to Outlast or Daylight, where you must survive in a haunted asylum along with its monstrous inhabitants. To make matters worse, you have to face a serial killer who prowls the abandoned wards and will stalk you when you least expect it. The gameplay lets you collect items to craft weapons or use stealth tactics to sneak away when the horrors of the place appear. But if things get complicated, then run for your life or find a hiding spot. Of course, to escape, you first have to uncover the dark mystery of the asylum. Developed by Amazon Game Studios, Lost Within is available on iOS and Amazon Fire.

The Trace: Murder Mystery Game

Detective Sam Pearce begins investigating a suicide that later turns out to be a murder, leading him to a series of totally unexpected events. The Trace: Murder Mystery Game is a mystery adventure where you have to solve a series of homicides, whether by examining the crime scene or solving puzzles. The game is similar to The Room, with a point-and-click style to examine the scene and collect useful items that unlock new areas or clues. When investigating, you can use a forensic flashlight to discover blood traces not visible to the naked eye. Developed by Relentless Software, The Trace: Murder Mystery Game is available on iOS and Android.

This War of Mine

The acclaimed war game from 11 bit studios makes its debut on mobile devices after its run on PC. In This War of Mine you don't play as a soldier, but as a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with shortages of food, medicine, and the constant danger of snipers and hostile scavengers. During the day, snipers prevent you from leaving your shelter, so you must focus on maintaining the hideout, whether by trading or caring for survivors. At night, you have to go out to gather items that will help you stay alive. The game offers a war experience seen from an entirely new angle, where there are no good or bad decisions but the need to survive. Developed by 11 bit studios, This War of Mine is available on iOS and Android.
