Time to burn that battery life
Fantasian, the new dioramic RPG fromFinal Fantasycreator Hironobu Sakaguchi, launched on Apple Arcade. But as it turns out, that wasn’t the only game coming to the service.
Appleannounced todaythat over 30 games are coming to the subscription gaming service, spread across new games and old classics. Alongside the new originals, Apple launched two new categories: Timeless Classics and App Store Greats.
The Classics section has some longtime standards: a chess and backgammon app, for example, as well as thepretty solidGood Sudoku by Zach Gage. App Store Greats, meanwhile, holds a number of mobile classics ad-free and fully unlocked, includingFruit Ninja Classic,Mini Metro, andThrees!, which is responsible for a lot of lost hours for me, personally.
A big surprise is PlatinumGames’World of Demons, the action mobile gamefirst shown back in 2018that laterquietly disappearedhas snuck onto the Apple Arcade list. It’s got some really striking,Okami-esque visuals for its tale of samurai and yokai.
And of course, there’sFantasian, which hasa really interesting battle systemthat lets you deposit monsters into a pocket dimension and battle them all at once. Plus, it has a bunch of miniatures and dioramas that look really pretty.
As an Android owner, I’m admittedly a little jealous. HopefullyFantasianmakes its way to other services like some of the other Arcade hits likeGrindstonehave.Check out the Apple blogfor the full list of games coming to the service, including some genuine surprises likeTaiko no Tatsujin: Pop Tap Beatand the swiping-RPGReigns.
