Disney's recent history with live-action adaptations of their animated classics has been a mixed bag at best. There seems to be no real hard-and-fast conventions as to just what gets added or changed in the transition from 2D to 3D. New songs are added, new characters, new plot threads--all, presumably, in service to whatever will help reinvent a decades-old classic for a new generation. Unfortunately, in the case of Mulan, it seems that the calculations were botched right from the start.It's a familiar story. Hua Mulan (Yifei Liu), the eldest

Hiking in the digital wilderness of A Short Hike is a reminder of the small joys of stretching your legs out on the trails. Its pixelated habitat is saturated with the familiar sights and sounds of the backcountry in real life--like the bubbling of a sluggish stream through the woods or greeting fellow hikers as they trek along the steep edges of grassy plateaus. As a young canary named Claire, one of the first characters you'll come across is a pint-sized frog at the beach in Hawk Peak Provincial Park,

TouchArcade Rating:Epic Odyssey is a refreshing strategy RPG set in a vibrant fantasy world. Across a giant 30-mission campaign, you’ll build up your roster of heroes and become immersed in a proper old-school yarn full of larger-than-life characters to meet and foul creatures to fell. Though its greatest success is the way that it skillfully pulls from classics of the genre while delivering a decidedly modern adventure. More than most hero-collector RPGs, Epic Odyssey trusts its players to explore at their own pace. For example, you’ll sometimes come across enemies

TouchArcade Rating:When it comes to space-faring roguelikes on iOS, the gold standard everyone’s heard of is FTL: Faster Than Light, and for good reason. It’s a perfect fit for mobile, and there are very few roguelikes that can compete with it in quality or quantity. While not as well known as FTL, Crying Suns ($8.99) has very similar notes of urgency and mystery. Much of the game feels rather similar to FTL, though that isn’t necessarily a bad thing—what is good in FTL is also good in Crying Suns. That’s

Last month’s Itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality was a massive hit with gamers, raising over eight million dollars for the NAACP and Community Bail Fund. The key to its success was the sheer size of its offering for a $5 minimum donation: 1,741 products from 1,391 different creators. It’s a motley collection of video games, development tools, tabletop RPGs, comics and zines. There are some well-known titles in there like Night in the Woods and Octodad, but sorting through the rest of the pile is an absolutely massive

I’m not sure how this slipped by me for so long, but earlier this month one of my favorite mobile developers Neutronized posted a teaser for an upcoming game based in the popular Super Cat Tales universe. You may recall that back in early May Super Cat Tales 2 was updated with its third and final chapter, thus bringing the game’s story to a close about a year and a half after its original release. I also mentioned at the time that Super Cat Tales 2 being finished freed up
