App of the Week

This week we are looking at three new dungeon crawlers released to the Apple App Store. Dungeon crawlers are typically fantasy RPG titles where the goal is to complete labyrinth-like environments while collecting loot and battling different types of enemies. Roguelike dungeon crawlers are a popular subgenre on the App Store. In roguelike adventures the dungeons, loot and enemies are randomly generated. This gives roguelike titles more replay value since players can experience a new adventure every time they play. Here are three popular dungeon crawlers availble now for the iPhone and iPad.

Not all movie franchises can have big crossover events on the big screen like Marvel's Infinity War, but that's not stopping Disney from bringing its characters together on smaller devices.

The action-packed RPG stars heroes from popular Disney and Pixar titles such as The Incredibles, Wreck-It Ralph, Toy Story, Zootopia and more.

Hint: There's a lot.

Candleman stars a sentient candle who can only burn for ten seconds per level in the newest puzzle game from Fantastic Games. Developed by Spotlightor Interactive, in the game you play as a candle who is on a journey of self discovery. The goal is to find and light all the candles on a level before your run out of wax. This is easier said than done as you only have ten seconds of light to navigate dark corridors with many pitfalls.
