Touching the edge of your organism will propel you in a direction by shedding some of your mass in a jet like fashion and by coming in contact with smaller organisms you can absorb them and add their mass to your own. You are the hunter, the survivor, the dominant life form which is, for want of a better term, a single cell organism. The aim of Osmos differs from level to level but the overall goal is always the same absorb smaller organisms and grow in size and strength until you are the biggest. I found myself enjoying its cool, calm pace that rewards good decisions, gut instinct and above all patience which is in stark contrast to the lightning reflexes or quick trigger finger that most games require to excel. Osmos is by no means a new game having been released by Hemisphere Games in 2009 but it is a game that compels me to recommend you stop what you are doing, open the application store on your mobile device and purchase it immediately.īoth calming and alluring, Osmos draws you in with relaxed gameplay and a serene soundtrack that blends in perfectly with the speed and setting of the game. Total War Battles: Kingdom is in open beta on Steam right now, but releases later this year on mobile.I simply have to stop and take a moment to tell you about a gaming experience that can be described as nothing short of sublime.

'We could have made it about swiping, and other touch controls that look really cool,' Charpentier said. Icons also control artillery and other off-screen support possibilities.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's You select individual units by tapping a corresponding icon on the edge of the screen. In order to mitigate any accidental unit selections or commands, Kingdom uses what Charpentier called an 'old school' system. During a recent demo creative director Renaud Charpentier showed us how Kingdom functions on iPad. And oddly enough, it's returning to the past to do so. With Kingdom, Creative Assembly hopes to do the same. These games work because of their game design, but also because they capitalize on the advantages a touch screen offers.

Starfront: Collision, Plague Inc., and the retro-minimalistic Rymdkapsel have all found success among the hordes of app store selections vying for attention. Creative Assembly itself released Total War Battles: Shogun in 2012, and a handful of developers have worked around the obstacles a touch-screen presents.
