Bug Heroes 2 (Free)
What’s it about? Much like its predecessor, Bug Heroes 2 mixes action-heavy gameplay with strategy elements to create a game that has players balancing multiple elements as they fight off hordes of enemy insects.
What’s cool? The bugs are on the war path in Bug Heroes 2, and your job is to control not only a pair of powerful heroes as they wade into battle, but also to build a base that can help them defend their food stash from enemy soldiers. Most of Bug Heroes 2 is played as one of a pair of hero bugs that make up your squad, who carry weapons similar to swords, guns and the like, and fight enemies head-on. As you gather things like food and other resources from the battlefield, however, you’ll also need to deck out a base, upgrade it with defenses, and hire mercenary bugs to fight by your side in order to protect it. Bug Heroes 2 includes some 25 bugs that players can take into battle, plus 75 enemies to fight.
Who’s it for? Players who like tactical, strategic and action-heavy gameplay will find a little bit of all three in Bug Heroes 2.
What’s it like? You’ll definitely want to try the original Bug Heroes for your strategy-action fix as well, and its spin-off, Bug Heroes Quest.
Tengami ($4.99)
What’s it about? Venture through a Japanese pop-up book world in Tengami, a hybrid puzzler and point-and-click adventure game in which you manipulate the pop-up book around you.
What’s cool? Tengami is a game that takes place within a pop-up book, and as players venture through the strange and beautiful world, they’ll have to solve puzzles that require moving things like tabs and folding different elements in order to advance. Creating pathways, finding an opening doors, and discovering which parts of the game are interactive is all part of the puzzle-solving challenge as you move through the game, which tells its atmospheric tale with almost no text or other dialog.
Who’s it for? Puzzle game fans who like their titles atmospheric and aesthetically gorgeous should give Tengami a try.
