American Gangster: The Mobile Game
Trying to capture the essence of games like Grand Theft Auto, American Gangster: The Mobile Game (based on the film of the same name) presents an interesting open-world premise for mobile. It has everything: a wide variety of cars, street shootings, story missions and much more. Unfortunately, it stays only a concept, as the controls ruin the experience, being one of its main criticisms, especially the enemy targeting system that goes from annoying to impossible. Developed by Gameloft, American Gangster: The Mobile Game is available on all systems.
Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse
The return of Broken Sword is good news for graphic adventure fans, especially for followers of the franchise who played the first two installments, The Shadow of the Templars and The Smoking Mirror. The perspective is the same as in those two games, where our protagonist witnesses a robbery followed by a brutal murder. From there you'll have to investigate the entire screen for clues to advance the plot. The Serpent's Curse features good puzzles, accompanied by decent dialogue and a pleasant atmosphere thanks to its stunning 2D backgrounds. Developed by Revolution Software, Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse is available on iOS and Android (Episode 1 and Episode 2).
EPOCH 2
EPOCH has walked through a war-torn country to find the person he was programmed to protect: Princess Amelia. Now he must follow a final clue to reach her, with the two warring robot armies of Omegatroniks and Alphetekk lurking in his path. But what surprises await EPOCH when he finally meets the princess? Your mission is to find out. The gameplay of EPOCH 2 remains unchanged, controlling the robot with touch screen commands to take cover, select targets, dodge enemy fire and use special abilities to counterattack, while traversing new areas within a post-apocalyptic landscape. Developed by Uppercut Games, EPOCH 2 is available on iOS and Android.
Papers, Please
This title is not only one of the best games of the decade but also has the ability to entertain us and make us feel like horrible human beings at the same time. As an immigration officer, we must allow or prevent people from entering our authoritarian and fictional nation of Arstotzka, changing their lives and ours forever. The gameplay of Papers, Please is based on inspecting the documents of newcomers and using a series of tools to determine if the papers are in order, with the aim of keeping unwanted people, such as terrorists or smugglers, out of the country. If you haven't played this gem yet, today is the perfect excuse to do so. Developed by 3909, Papers, Please is available exclusively on iOS.
Shadowgun: Deadzone (Free game)
The game is not a sequel to Shadowgun, but a spin-off focused on multiplayer with the same graphics engine. Shadowgun: Deadzone consists of two modes; the first is the classic free-for-all better known as Deathmatch. The second mode is Zone Control, where players are divided into two teams, Shadowguns and Mutants. Each team must work to control zones, until the opposing team can't control anything or until it runs out of respawn points. Each of these modes has its own maps and weapons for players to take advantage of. Developed by Madfinger Games, Shadowgun: Deadzone is available on iOS and Android.
