Goat Simulator Payday

Android Police coverage: Goat Simulator PayDay arrives on Android in a stolen car

The Goat Simulator series has seen quite a few different adaptations, spanning from zombie themes to space exploration. Well, it would appear that there is one more title to add to the list, Goat Simulator Payday. The prominent theme of this particular title is, of course, the inclusion of the mechanics found in the popular Payday series. What that means, is that this is a mashup of purposefully wonky Goat Simulator gameplay with Payday's bank robbery theme. Goat Simulator Payday is an upfront priced game that costs $4.99. As a premium release, there are no advertisements or in-app purchases present.

Goat Simulator: Payday is the most criminally realistic goat simulation yet. Starring 4 new main thugs - A flying flamingo, a wheelchairing dolphin, a spitting camel and a goat that’s just really handsome. Use PRANKNET © to find your new crew some smash & grab heists, then blast away your stolen cash on different things. Mostly masks. Okay only masks. Dodge the police by stealing and driving other people’s cars, because it’s too expensive to buy your own.

Prison Architect: Mobile

Android Police coverage: Paradox Interactive have released Prison Architect: Mobile for good behavior

Prison Architect: Mobile is the latest PC game to be ported to Android. If you are unfamiliar with the title, this is a mix of simulation, management, and strategy game mechanics very reminiscent of Dungeon Keeper, Dwarf Fortress, and Theme Hospital. You essentially build a prison in order to keep it running smoothly by constant micromanagement. Prison Architect: Mobile is offered as a free download that includes a trial mode and one Prison Story. The rest of the game can be unlocked with an in-app purchase of $14.99.

Escape from reality but not from your custom-made jail. Prison Architect: Mobile challenges you to build and manage a maximum security prison, from laying out cell blocks and inmate facilities, to managing staff pay and prisoner morale. From layout to execution (literally, in some cases), you are the architect, the warden, and the enforcer. Prison designs will include basic necessities like cells, canteens, guard rooms, and infrastructure, but players can also include features like solitary confinement, workout areas, and even an execution chamber.

Zombie Gunship Survival

Android Police coverage: Zombie Gunship: Survival lays down covering fire for its arrival in the Play Store

PES2017 -PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER-

Android Police coverage: KONAMI's PES2017 Pro Evolution Soccer fast breaks onto the Play Store

Konami has been on a downward projection in gaming for a few years now. While it is a shame to see a once popular developer fall to the wayside, it is nice to see that they still support and release new games in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. This year's release of PES2017 is exactly what you would expect out of the franchise on mobile. So while that does mean plenty of great soccer simulation gameplay, it also means there are a bunch of advertisements and in-app purchases to contend with. To be exact, the IAPs run as high as $99.99 per item, and there are plenty of wait timers scattered about in order to draw you ever closer to paying for the temporary removal of these unnecessary roadblocks.

Take total control of every action on the field in a way that only the PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER franchise can deliver. Natural player movements, precision passing, and in-depth tactics bring the true experience of the beautiful game to your mobile device.

Family Feud® Live!

Android Police coverage: It's time to play... Family Feud Live! (just kidding, this game sucks)

Ugh, did we really need a Family Feud game, especially one that has a freaking monthly subscription fee? Yeah, you heard me right, there is a $4.99 monthly fee for VIP status. Sure, it may not be required, but your play is hampered without it. While you may be asking yourself what it is you receive with this VIP status, it really isn't all that much. You see, Family Feud Live! limits how many rounds you can play by creating a ticket system. You are supplied very few tickets, which means if you want more, (which are required to play) you have to pay this monthly fee. Now, I do not know about you guys, but I find little draw to a trivia style game with this type of monetization model.

Play Family Feud any way you’d like. With 4 game modes to choose from, there’s something there for everyone. Answer the best Feud Surveys and play in the best gameshow game ever. Master the questions and grab all the coins for yourself. If you’d rather play Fast Money Rounds, you can win more coins per minute. Get a bonus if your score reaches 200 points, just like in the show. Prove that you’re the ultimate Feuder to win huge coin prizes and medal awards. Play against the best of the best to get the gold medal. Pick someone to play and chat in friendly games together.

Space RPG 3

It would appear that the first two games in this series were pulled from the Play Store for the art being too derivative of another game. Thankfully Space RPG 3 does not suffer from this issue, ensuring that it will be available for plenty of time to come. If you are unfamiliar with the gameplay, this is a space exploration RPG that concentrates mainly on space battle action. It is also worth noting that Space RPG 3 is a premium release that you can purchase upfront for $1.49. There are of course no advertisements or in-app purchases included with this purchase.

The next game in the Space RPG series. As this is a new release, you would be doing me a huge favour by reporting all bugs to Google or emailing me directly. Thanks.

  • A sprawling universe with over 100 star systems to explore
  • Dozens of ship types, weapons and more upgrades than ever.
  • Visible weapons and constraint turret arcs, for a more in-depth outfitting experience and more tactical gameplay.

Jaipur: A Card Game of Duels

Jaipur: A Card Game of Duels is exactly what its name suggests. This is a digital version of the popular tabletop game. Typically this is a quickly paced card game for two players. Each turn you take or trade a card, in order to sell as many goods as you can for the highest profit. A comprehensive tutorial is offered at the beginning of the game, for those that are worried about the rules being too abstract. You can grab Jaipur: A Card Game of Duels for $2.99 and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with the download.

Jaipur is a fast-paced card game for two players with a blend of tactics, risk and luck. You are one of the most powerful traders in Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan.

The Quest - Thor's Hammer

Much like the first person dungeon crawlers of old, The Quest - Thor's Hammer is a turn-based RPG that plays out in a first person view. This is an expansion for the original game, but luckily it can be played as a stand-alone title if you do not already own it. It is also worth noting that this expansion is intended for low-level players. That means this expansion makes a great starting point for a new player. It is also a great excuse to start a new character, for existing players. You can get The Quest - Thor's Hammer for $2.99 upfront. There are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with this purchase.

An expansion by Zarista Games. The Quest - Thor's Hammer is an expansion to The Quest, a beautifully hand-drawn open world role playing game with old school grid-based movement and turn based combat. This expansion has been designed for low level characters. Best experienced with a newly created one. After enabling the expansion, you can explore new areas and adventures. However, if you don't have The Quest, you can also play the expansion as a standalone game.

RAYFORCE

Those of you unfamiliar with RAYFORCE, this is a classic top-down shoot 'em up. TAITO originally released the game in the arcade way back in 1994. While its age does show, the gameplay is still the same, meaning it still rocks. Trust me, if you enjoy any type of shmup, this port is most definitely a solid pickup on Android. It is also worth pointing out that the game is on sale for $4.99 until its sequel RayCrisis is released this summer. After the sale, RAYFORCE will go back up to its intended price of $6.99. Keep in mind that this is a premium purchase, so that does mean there are no advertisements or in-app purchases present.

TAITO is famous for arcade shooting games, and the RAY trilogy is one of the most beloved series. Ever since the 1993 release of the trilogy's first installment, RAYFORCE, fans have been thrilled by the game's cinematic visuals and gorgeous layered raster scrolling graphics. RAYFORCE became a 2D shooting instant classic, and now it's available for Android.

Youtubers Life - Gaming

There are not many of us who will ever see enough money to make a living being a Youtube gaming video blogger. That is why Youtubers Life - Gaming is the perfect game for those of us who have the interest but not the drive. You see, you get to simulate what a life of a streamer is like. That means building subscribers, creating and editing videos, even decorating your new abode that you just purchased with your ever expanding wealth. Putting all of that aside, the best part about this game is the fact that it is an upfront paid title. You can pick Youtubers Life - Gaming up today for $8.99 with little worry of any included advertisements or in-app purchases.

Youtubers Life is the ultimate life simulation/tycoon videogame in which you can effortfully become the world’s greatest gaming video blogger in history by editing videos, expanding the amount of fans and turning yourself into a wealthy fellow.

Record gameplay sessions, buy new and classic consoles, keep an eye on daily tasks, and socialize yourself to increase your popularity while you have to deal with fans, friends, family and time management.

The Layered Forest

The Layered Forest is an interesting take on your standard turn-based RPG. It utilizes randomly generated levels and plays much like a roguelike. There are two modes of play, and endless mode as well as a story mode that see you traveling to the center of a mystical forest. The best part about The Layered Forest is the fact that it is free. There are advertisements present between rounds, but they are not all that intrusive. There are also no in-app purchases present, which is nice to see but does mean the ads will be irremovable.

The Layered Forest is a 2D turn based RPG where you take control of a sorcerer who journeys to the center of a large forest that has mysteriously taken over a large part of the country. The game takes place in a fantasy world filled with all kinds of unique monsters. The forest consists of random generated levels which will grow both in size and difficulty where you will encounter various fantasy monsters.

Fancy Pants Adventures

Five years since the iOS port, Fancy Pants Adventures finally sees its release on Android. Originally this was a web-based game with three episodic like releases. This Android version, of course, contains all three episodes, wherein you play through the third world first. The gameplay consists of your standard side scrolling platformer fair, but it is enjoyable and does control well with a touch screen. What is a pleasant surprise, is that HID controller support is also included. You can grab Fancy Pants Adventures for free, but there are advertisements and in-app purchases present with this release.

Fancy Pants Adventures is now available, free on your favorite android device. Race through dense forests, underwater caverns, and pirate ships in search of your kidnapped sister in this epic adventure. Stomp, kick, and slash your enemies with 40 melee weapons and an arsenal of moves. Battle Pirates, Ninjas, a Giant Penguin and more.

Karma. Incarnation 1.

Point and click adventure games often work great on a touch screen device. This is most likely why they are some of the best premium games found in the Android ecosystem. Today I am taking a look at Karma. Incarnation 1. This is a port of the well-received PC version. It contains all of the original hand-drawn artwork as well as the magical soundtrack. The controls, of course, have been altered to work with a touch screen. Luckily they work just as well if not better than the original's controls. Karma. Incarnation 1. is available as a free download, but it does contain in-app purchases that range up to $2.49 per item.

This original adventure game explores a love story between two beautiful souls through ingenious humour and a bizarre, hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation style. Our hero’s beloved has been abducted by evil spirits, and the only way to reunite them is to reincarnate himself as a dragon to defeat Evil. But something has gone wrong, and his soul is reborn as a worm named Pip. Now Pip must overcome the challenges of a surreal world, solve mind bending puzzles, and save his love. Choosing between good and evil, Pip learns the laws of Karma, and his choices define the outcome of the game.

Karl!

Karl! is a simple game, but extremely difficult too. The premise is that you are a samurai who needs to remove all enemies on screen. These enemies are represented by throwing stars and other samurai weapons. The gameplay works by you pulling your ninja, much like the controls in Angry Birds, to then release him towards the stages enemies in a slingshot-like fashion. While this sounds simple enough, in practice it is quite difficult. You can pick up Karl! as a free download, though it does contain advertisements and in-app purchases that range up to $2.99 per item.

Bus Simulator 17

Sure, many people may laugh at how innocuous Bus Simulator 17 may seem as a game. This thought tends to extend to all the similar simulator type games. I mean who goes home from work, to then pretend to do another job, right? Wrong, the dull mundanity of these titles are exactly what the draw is. You can relax and quit thinking while enjoying a long ride doing a menial task. Just keep in mind that Bus Simulator 17 is a free download that does contain advertisements and in-app purchases that range up to $24.99 per item.

Sure, it is still a free-to-play release with in-app purchases that go as high as $64.99 per item, but it most definitely is not as egregious when it comes to its pricing model when compared to other MMOs on the platform.

Iron Blade - Medieval Legends

One thing is for sure, you can't fault Gameloft for their graphics. They consistently pump out the best looking games on the platform. Today we have Blade: RPG Legends, a new RPG that plays quite a lot like a simplified form of the Batman Arkham series. The funny thing is, the Batman series in and of itself uses a simplified form of combat. Yo dog, I heard you enjoy simplified combat mechanics.

Fatal Raid

Fatal Raid is your bog-standard zombie filled first-person shooter. You can play through a campaign in the single player mode as well as against other live players in the multiplayer mode. Like most FPS games on Android, this is a free-to-play title. What that means is you can expect the title to be littered with in-app purchases. How much they cost, on the other hand, I do not know. The Play Store does not list their pricing, and in order to open the IAP menu in the game, you have to complete four levels of play. And that is after you finish the ridiculous tutorial where the game keeps interrupting you to explain yet again what the left digital analog stick does.

The zombie apocalypse has arrived. Carnage ravages the streets of Nova City. All that stands between its salvation and ultimate destruction is a squad of elite super soldiers. Do you have what it takes to fight back the undead horde and reclaim the city? Fatal Raid is an action packed first-person shooter like you've never seen. No mere mobile game, Fatal Raid gives you the full FPS experience right at your fingertips. From the complex, story-driven single player mode to the realtime PvP battles, Fatal Raid has unparalleled depth and replayability.

Black Plague Companion

Okay, you caught me. Black Plague Companion is not actually a game, but a companion app for a board game. To be more specific, this is a companion app for the Zombicide: Black Plague board game. What this app offers is a digital replacement to the physical game's Survivor Dashboards, which are used to keep track of each character’s equipment inventory, experience, and skills. You can grab Black Plague Companion today for free, with little worry of any advertisements or in-app purchases.

Zombicide: Black Plague is a standalone cooperative boardgame for 1 to 6 players that brings the relentless zombie-killing action of Zombicide into a brand new fantasy setting.
