TouchArcade Rating: When Stardew Valley ($7.99) was announced for mobile, I was very excited. I already loved the game and had played it for a while across PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch with the Switch version getting the maximum playtime of the lot. When it arrived on iOS, it was a fantastic port that has only improved over time. As with most indie games, the Nintendo Switch and mobile versions are on the spectrum for portable gaming fans. I already compared Dead Cells on iOS and Nintendo Switch and decided

The real time strategy classic has been adapted for touchscreen with two control options and a plethora of enhancements in its newest incarnation on iOS as a premium release. Since this is a Feral Interactive port, expectations are very high given their superlative track record. I’ve been playing Company of Heroes on a first generation iPad Pro (9.7") over the last week and the conversion is mostly everything I

After releasing their excellent Crossy Road-like dungeon crawler Skeletomb (Free) way back in 2015, developer Punk Labs graced us with two more winners in subsequent years. There was the crazy wavelength matching game Kerflux (Free) in 2016 and the equally crazy if not crazier Raster Prime ($2.99) in 2017. Since then though it’s been crickets city from this promising studio. So I was both surprised and elated to learn today that Punk Labs has a new project coming out really soon, and it looks like those few years of silence
