Out Tonight: More Tilt to Live, Peninsular Battles, Heavy Metal On Android and Battle Academy 2 (maybe?)

That should keep the crows away

That should keep the crows away

The big release this week is from Slitherine and the sequel to the fantastic Battle Academy, Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front. The only problem is that we’re not entirely sure if it’s coming tonight or tomorrow. I’ve been searching all over and can’t find a definitive answer. Time to make that New Zealand App Store account, I guess.

If Battle Academy 2 doesn’t hit tonight, we have plenty of other options to keep you occupied. Check out the full list after the break.

First on the list is a sequel to the best Action Game of 2013 from the developers of Outwitters, Tilt to Live: Gauntlet’s Revenge. It’s basically a puzzle game in which you use the accelerometer in your phone to maneuver your pawn through an obstacle course. It sounds a lot like the old wooden labyrinths we used to play with back before there was electricity but with a little more complexity. It’s coming for iOS Universal and costs $3.

Next is one we talked about last week, Peninsular War Battles from Hunted Cow. It’s the prodigious war game developer’s first foray into the Napoleonic era, so it’s probably worth checking it out just for that. It will be for iOS Universal and costs $10.

Why do you think we have the outrageous accents?

Pro Strategy Football 2014 is the best version of Pro Strategy Football yet. All the teams and players (although not by name, of course) as well as game modes to make it deep for the football junkie and accessible for newbs. There is also a Career mode this year, but it won’t be in the initial release. Look for that in an update down the road.

I really kind of loved Heavy Metal Thunder from Cubus Games when I reviewed it a couple weeks ago. It’s a bit rough, and I think the audience it would appeal to isn’t as big as something like Sorcery!, but it tells a great, visceral story that’s just far enough out there to be a ton of fun. It’s now available for Android for $3. If you’re looking for a fun ride, give it a shot.
