Bleeding Edge Gets Even Bigger with Mekko and a Brand-new Map

Today, we’re incredibly hyped to announce a brand-new fighter coming to Bleeding Edge: Mekko!

Square Enix Updates ‘Chaos Rings III’ for the First Time in Nearly Four Years with iOS 13 Support and Display Issue Fixes

TouchArcade Rating:Chaos Rings III ($19.99) has sadly been the last entry in Square Enix’s incredibly enjoyable Chaos Rings series, which shockingly started out as a brand new IP created exclusively for mobile with the release of the original game way back in 2010. Even back then you didn’t see big companies investing heavily into original premium content for mobile, but in the case of the Chaos Rings series it resulted in four distinct entries that included some of the best made-for-mobile RPG’ing ever produced, and by all accounts the series

‘Dandara’ Just Got Updated with the ‘Trials of Fear’ Expansion Content for Free and the Game Is Discounted to Just $1.99 for a Limited Time

TouchArcade Rating: Dandara ($1.99) from developer Long Hat House and publisher Raw Fury is a very interesting game for me. I obviously love the gravity-defying Metroidvania platformer but the way the release was handled initially was excellent. It hit every platform including mobile at the same time and costed the same across the board. Recently, a big free update was announced for Dandara in the form of the Trials of Fear expansion. Watch the trailer for it below: The expansion has just gone live for me on iOS and Xbox
