Runic Rampage - Hack and Slash RPG

Runic Rampage - Hack and Slash RPG is just that, a hack and slash RPG that happens to work on Android TV. Unlike the majority of games on the Play Store found in this genre, this is a premium release sold for an upfront cost.

Ashworld

Ashworld is the latest game from OrangePixel, a studio well known for some fantastic pixel art games. Ashworld does not deviate from their style too much, but what is interesting is how its top-down survival gameplay has been combined with side-scrolling platforming. The touch controls are a little rough around the edges, though the controller support for ATV devices works perfectly fine and is my preferred way to play.

Monetization: $3.99 / no ads / no IAPs

Dandara

Dandara hit the Play Store at the beginning of this year, and oh boy is it an interesting game. The gameplay resembles that of a 2D Metroidvania platformer.

METAL GEAR SOLID 2 HD for SHIELD TV

I know what you are thinking. How in the world did Metal Gear Solid 2 come to Android? Well, don't get too excited, this release is only for the Nvidia Shield TV. But hey, all of you Shield TV owners out there, guess what, you can now play Metal Gear Solid 2 in HD! And even better you can play it at 60 fps in 720p. While 1080p support would have been nice to see, I can totally understand why the Shield would not be able to power this game at that resolution while staying stable at 60fps.

Kona

Kona is a first-person survival game that was recently ported over to the Shield TV. This means it's a very demanding title that isn't going to run on any other device. But if you do happen to own a Shield TV, then you are in luck, as this is a beautiful game with some interesting elements. Current PC reviews appear to be mixed, as there are some balancing issues with the difficulty after the first hour of gameplay. So that is something to keep in mind.

Morphite

Crescent Moon Games had been hyping up the release of Morphite on Android for a good while, and now that it has been available for a few months and people have had the time to play through it, the hype was most definitely worth it. For the unfamiliar, this game is an open-world adventure that lets you travel the galaxy, comparable to titles like No Man’s Sky. The fact that such a monumental game is even able to run on Android is a testament to the developers skills.

Shadowgun Legends

The official Shadowgun Legends release was long overdue, but it is finally here as of last week, which means we can all get in on its fantastic FPS gameplay. It plays a lot like a watered-down Destiny thanks to the inclusion of a social hub for grouping as well as a ton of co-op missions and PvP content. It is free-to-play, which means there are in-app purchases, though the majority of in-game items are cosmetic only.

Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs from $1.99 - $99.99

Experience an epic story campaign, competitive and cooperative multiplayer, and an innovative social hub, all in one game. In the futuristic world of Shadowgun Legends, humanity is under attack from a deadly alien invader. The last line of defence are the Shadowguns, legendary warriors and heroes.
