This Week In Mobile – Prince Of Persia, Leisure Suit Larry, And Dubstep

Posted on September 15, 2013 at 11:22 am

This Week in Mobile knows no boundaries because it highlights the mishaps of Leisure Suit Larry and space combat set to dubstep. Mostly safe for work.

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
Developer: N-Fusion; Replay; Al Lowe
Platform: iOS
Price: $4.99

The sexual exploits of Larry Laffer are only as crude in 2013 as they were in 1987. But hey, you can now play them at the go. For many who missed out at the first actual Leisure Suit Larry game back inside the day, N-Fusion and Replay Games have made it available inside the App Store. The template is sort of just like the unique game, including the obscure and infrequently maddening strategy of finding solutions to puzzles. It was also available within the Google Play store initially, but has since been pulled for unclear reasons.

Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame
Developer: Ubisoft Pune
Platform: Android; iOS
Price: $2.99

Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame was released all of the long ago in 1993. This mobile remake from Ubisoft Pune revisits that game, giving new fans a raffle to leap in with dramatically improved mechanics and added combos. There’s no time travel here, but there are 14 levels and the alternative between virtual gamepad and gesture-based controls.

Sky Gamblers: Cold War
Developer: Revo; Atypical
Platform: iOS
Price: $4.99

Cold War is the newest entry inside the Sky Gamblers aerial combat series. Its single-player campaign offers a various set of missions, starting from spying, to escorting allies, to classic dogfighting. Multiplayer, though, is where this game really shines. Capture the flag, king of the hill, and deathmatch modes are just a number of the PvP options available. To top all of it off, Cold War’s sharp sound design and camera-angle options make this a completely solid mobile shooter. 

Futuridium EP
Developer: Mixedbag
Platform: iOS
Price: $1.99

The Italian developers at Mixedbag have created just that with Futuridium EP – a mixed bag. Frustrating control issues and a scarcity of depth make this game lower than stellar, but smart level design and a dubstep theme make it really worth a try. Inspired by 1986’s Uridium, this game allows players to fly three-dimensional polygon space ships in rhythm to electronica and house music tracks inside the background. There’s even an technique to change songs at the fly (see what I did there).
