Robert Workman (Modojo): While most developers try and shoehorn as many features as possible into their first-person shooters, Crescent Moon Games' Neon Shadow takes a very different approach. This arcade-style FPS feels more like a throwback to the classic days of Doom or Wolfenstein, where story takes a backseat to ridiculously wild action. Your task, put simply, is to shut down a suppressed robot army being run by a corrupted operating system.
It turns out that Crescent Moon isn't just giving away Mines of Mars and Neon Shadow on Android today. Far from it.
Both games are now free to play from now on, losing the premium model they previously had. Yes, they're supported by ads.
TouchArcade: Just over a year ago, Crescent Moon and Tasty Poison Games released Neon Shadow [$0.99], a mobile first-person shooter that was meant as a throwback to the old-school frag fests of the '90s, and they totally nailed it. Neon Shadow had awesome visuals and a really cool sci-fi single-player campaign, but it also featured an online multiplayer mode that was breezy, fast-paced and fun. I love the more complex FPS games with weapon upgrading tiers, different playable classes, and tons of bells and whistles, but on mobile some of the funnest fragging I've had is with classics like Doom and Wolfenstein. Neon Shadow feels like a modern game that somehow captured the soul of those old classics.
Would love if this came to PS4 with updated visuals,better controls and higher player count.
Grab It Magazine has details of even more games going on sale on the App Store for the weekend.
I can't believe that Oquonie is free. It only just came out and it is totally awesome. A must buy really!
