This week's mobile gaming roundup is packed with great titles. We have classics given a new lease on life, like I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. There's a Pokémon parody in Pocket Mortys, action with a talking sword in Transistor, and role-playing with Warhammer Quest.
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
Originally released in 1995 on PC, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is a classic point-and-click adventure. Based on the short story of the same name by Harlan Ellison, one of America's most acclaimed science fiction writers, the game throws you into a terrifying post-apocalyptic scenario 109 years after a supercomputer named AM wiped out humanity. A group of survivors is subjected to an introspective journey crafted by AM; your objective is to control each of the five characters and try to achieve a better future. This remake includes touch controls, several graphic filters, and multiple language options, including Spanish. Developed by DotEmu, I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is available on iOS and Android.
Impossible Road
Impossible Road is an arcade game that takes place on a kind of roller coaster where you control a white ball along the track, passing through goal lines to score points. The objective is to get as far as possible to earn the highest score. It may sound simple, but the track design, with its curves and jumps, keeps you on your toes; a split-second pause can send you plunging into the void. It's a tough but addictive game, and its minimalist aesthetic adds a pleasant touch. Developed by Wonderful Lasers Inc., Impossible Road is available on iOS and Android.
Pocket Mortys (Free)
Rick and Morty is the animated series of the moment. In every episode the duo travels across space-time, constantly getting into trouble and making us laugh. Pocket Mortys is a parody of Pokémon, where Rick and Morty travel to a dimension where all the Ricks of the multiverse enjoy the current pastime: collecting their own versions of Morty and using them to fight. The game uses a style and concept similar to the Pokémon games, with capturing wild Mortys, each with its own attributes and special abilities, and then challenging a variety of aliens, Ricks from different dimensions, and even Jerry, Morty's poor father. Developed by Adult Swim Game, Pocket Mortys is available on iOS and Android.
Transistor
A dead man, a futuristic sword too heavy for the voiceless protagonist, and a mission: to escape and survive. Transistor is the second game from Supergiant Games, creators of Bastion. It follows the story of Red, the silent protagonist, who communicates with Transistor, the sword that holds the 'spirit' of that dead man. The sword acts as narrator, pointing the way and responding to your actions. The novelty comes from the combat, which blends real-time action with turns, offering a fine balance between strategy and action when using special abilities. Developed by Supergiant Games, Transistor is available exclusively on iOS.
Warhammer Quest
Take your band of brave adventurers through the dangerous dungeons of the Warhammer world in search of riches and glory. Based on the classic board game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Quest is a blend of adventure, strategy, and role-playing. Traveling through a perilous world, you must discover and explore settlements while facing all sorts of enemies, including night goblins, hordes of orcs, and giant trolls. You'll have hundreds of weapons, armor, and items to obtain from fallen foes or buy from the market. If you liked Warhammer 40,000: Carnage and Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf, don't hesitate to give this one a try. Developed by Rodeo Games, Warhammer Quest is available on iOS and Android.
