The much previewed arcade shooter from Chillingo and Traplight Games: The Hero ($1.99)finally arrives on the AppStore. It promises “lightning-fast arcade romp that sizzles with comic book style, sassy characters and superhuman gameplay.”
First impressions are actually good as this game offers sophisticated controls, graphics and tons of gameplay dynamics.
As Chillingo and Binary Mill prepare their upcoming shoot’em’up game Assault Squadron, they’ve gone ahead and sent us this cool looking trailer you can watch below:
While the video above doesn’t exactly show any gameplay video (they promise one is coming), thankfully you can view our preview of the game here to refresh your memory about the game.
Shoot Em Ups or rather SHMUP aren’t new to the AppStore, but of course, Chillingomust have one or two of them in store. That number will soon increase with the release of Assault Squadron:
You are a part of the Assault Squadron, an elite tactical space combat force dispatched by the Federal Alliance to defeat the alien enemy. Assault Squadron’s explosive sci-fi missions and in-depth storyline will thrill shoot-‘em-up fans and casual players as they battle to save the Earth.
We’ve previously told you about Chillingo’s revamped version of Radio Flare, Radio Flare REDUX. The team has emailed us a brand new trailer specifically showing gameplay video:
Slow news Monday means we get to post about the coolest news including two upcoming games from two of the store’s biggest developers. After watching these, you’d want to get your hands on them:
The game involves “crashing and bashing into a sh#tload of different enemies, 15 level campaign with a wacky storyline, survival mode, strange humor and fast paced action”.
We know it’s winter wonderland over at the East Coast for our US folks (stay safe by the way), but for us West Coasters Zombie Wonderland should do for now. Zombie Wonderland is a 3D zombie-tower defense hybrid to be published by Chillingosoon:
Zombie Wonderland is a fun, fast and engaging variation of tower defense in 3D for the iPhone, with strong elements of time management and survival horror. Well, without the horror part.
And you can cut a little slack on the time management too. It’s about shooting zombies, actually. The cute kind, as there is nothing more annoying than cute zombies.
Well it seems like Chillingo is back in full swing this year building up on their publishing success from last year. With the recent releases of Cogs and Guerrilla Bob, both of which are awesome by the way, comes a trailer and promo parade for The Hero:
The game involves “crashing and bashing into a sh#tload of different enemies, 15 level campaign with a wacky storyline, survival mode, strange humor and fast paced action”. If both videos don’t sound interesting enough, let’s further discuss…
Steam engine, pipes, gears, nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts. One more time now! I don’t know about you but if a puzzle game had us writing an original song, it must be good.
Chillingo and Lazy8 Studios’ Cogs is one the most frustratingly challenging puzzle games to ever hit the store. I say frustrating loosely as the game is so challenging it becomes fun and addicting. If you thought slider puzzles are getting boring, this game just gave the genre a much needed rattling!
This game is the actual realization and advancement of the dual stick action/survival genre. With great graphics, actual levels (and bosses), achievements and upticks in difficulty, it’s great that someone has finally realized the power of dual stick controls to put it to use in one epic action/adventure game.
One of our most previewed and most anticipated games of early 2010 has finally been released. The amazing dual stick shooter, action adventure game, Guerrilla Bobhas finally hit the AppStore for $2.99.
It all started with two best friends. Bob and John Gore have been friends since they were 10, and continued to be best buddies through high school, and then through college.
Eventually, Bob decided to enroll in the army, while John Gore chose a life of crime and money. >> Fastforward >> Bob becomes angry and a guerrilla thus the name of the game.
