kaiju strategy game that originally launched on PC in 2018 but came to mobile via Netflix earlier this month.
I really started to take notice with the release of Into the Breach, an incredible mech vs. There wasn’t much to play when mobile games were first added to the service. Netflix, on the other hand, got off to a much quieter start. There’s a good mix between the typical mobile time wasters (right now, I’m playing a lot of Grindstone, Good Sudoku, and Skate City) and bigger experiences like the old-school RPG Fantasian or Yu Suzuki’s wonderfully bizarre rail shooter Air Twister. It launched with a huge lineup of games, things went fairly quiet for a while, and then in 2021, it got a huge boost with the introduction of classic games. Let’s start with Arcade, which might just be the best deal in gaming that people never seem to talk about. But they’ve now matured to the point that I feel like it’s the best way to game on an iPhone. Subscriptions, even on mobile, aren’t an entirely new phenomenon. I started out by downloading titles from the subscriptions I have - Apple Arcade and Netflix - and before I knew it, I had two dozen games in a folder, ranging from old favorites to ones I keep meaning to try. I came to this realization recently when I switched from Android to an iPhone and started loading my new gadget with games (that’s always the first order of business for any machine I acquire). But lately, I’ve been having fun with my phone again - and it’s due almost entirely to subscription services.
New releases had to decide between a dwindling audience for premium games or saddling their game with in-app purchases.
Games slowly got cheaper before eventually becoming free altogether. It’s hard to believe now, but there was once a period when app stores felt like a new frontier, and game developers had a blast experimenting with a little touchscreen rectangle that you always had in your pocket. Once upon a time, my smartphone doubled as my most-used gaming platform.
