Out tonight: Byte Master and Godspeed Commander

Even the combat in the Sorcery games is better than tonight's crop.

Even the combat in the Sorcery games is better than tonight’s crop.

This week’s crop of new releases is bleaker than the Baklands on the other side of Kharé. Not the nice Baklands of 1000 years ago, but the crappy cursed Baklands of today. If this doesn’t make any sense to you, then you need to stop reading this and pick up last week’s standout, Sorcery! 3. This week is a different story. In fact, I could only find two releases that seemed worth talking about.

The first entrant is called Byte Master and looks to be a puzzle game with an electrical bent. I actually don’t know what to make of any of it from the trailer. It looks like it might have some match-3 to it, but then there are scenes reminiscent of searching through old datasheets at my old job. There are scenes of comparators, inductors, capacitors, etc., but how they fit into the game is a mystery. The description makes it all sound like a CPU-themed Threes but with what I can only guess is annoying IAP. It’s free to download for iOS Universal.

One more game after the break.

The second and last game of interest tonight is called Godspeed Commander. Here you control a spaceship via a match-3 mechanism. Yeah, more match-3. What are you doing with this spaceship? Battling other players, apparently. There are ten different ships you can choose from with over 50 different components to add to them and, I kid you not, “intense gem matching combat you can’t put down!” It also promises over one trillion options for customizing a character, so have at it. Like our other game this week, this is a free to download game for iOS Universal which I’m assuming has a load of IAP.
