I’m guessing Handelabra’s had a few of these today.
Today’s big release is Sentinels of the Multiverse which, unfortunately, isn’t released for everybody. The original plan was to simultaneously launch the app for Android tablets and iPad this morning and everything pretty much went according to plan. Sentinels has been available on Google Play and Amazon Appstore all day. It’s the iPad release that’s causing problems. Turns out that the US App Store isn’t allowing people to purchase the game. It doesn’t appear to be a problem anywhere else, so if you’re outside the US, have at it. For those of us in the US, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Handelabra isn’t sure what’s going on, other than it’s all on Apple’s heads.
UPDATE: Right after I posted this (of course), I found out that the US link for Sentinels is starting to work for many people. Perhaps the issue has been completely solved? If you haven’t been able to get it on your iPad all day, give it another try.
If you’re in the US and were hoping on getting Sentinels today, don’t worry! We have a couple of other releases that…oh, who am I kidding? Other than a new gamebook, the other releases today are mostly pretty weak fodder. I picked one because it’s weird and the other because the title has a pun and I know those make Owen happy. Seriously, that was this week’s criteria. That gamebook I mentioned is from Cubus Games, the guys who did a great job with their last effort, Heavy Metal Thunder, so there’s hope for that one.
Other releases after the break.
Our first runner-up today is an action RPG called Hail to the King: Deathbat. If that’s not enough to get you excited, I don’t know what else I can do. It comes from the minds of Avenged Sevenfold which, apparently is a band or something. Something you young people would probably understand. GET OFF MY LAWN! Anyway, it looks like a pretty cool Diablo-like hack and slash game and it just happens to have the benefit of a wacky name. It’s will be available for both Android and iOS Universal and cost $5.
Next is a cutesy shepherding puzzler, Hey Ewe. It doesn’t look like anything we’d normally post about on Pocket Tactics, but it has that damned pun in the title and, as we all know, Owen is a sucker for puns. Consider this post my wedding present, Owen! It’s a typical 3-star puzzle game in which you’re trying to collect your sheeplings to safety from milk squirting cows, angry bulls, and everyone’s favorite barnyard animal, polar bears. The app is for iOS Universal and costs $5. Incredibly, it has 60 levels and apparently no IAP. Crazy.
Our last game tonight is from Cubus Games and is a gamebook titled Necklace of Skulls, which delves into Mayan myths and folklore and looks about as bonkers as their last title, Heavy Metal Thunder. I really liked that sci-fi jaunt, so I’m hopeful that this one will be a good read as well. It’s coming for iOS Universal and will cost $3.
