Yesterday we posted our close look at the excellent RPG Chaos Rings [App Store], an iPhone exclusive and the latest from Square Enix. In celebration of the release of this new title, the studio today began a two week sale on all of their games. Shelly Data Doodles is pleased to announce the App Store Availability for both versions of our first iOS game - Puffer's Train Challenge! and Puffer's Train Challenge Lite! A retro train puzzle game, built on the cocos2d game framework, that starts off simple but grows more challenging and more addicting as this game and the train roll along... Available in English, French, German, and Spanish - Puffer provides a Zen mode for kids and those who want unlimited moves per level, and a Star Mode that tests your skills on each level and builds your scores and achievements in Game Center. Here's a 1 minute video that Read More

Square Enix’s highly anticipated iPhone/iPod touch exclusive RPG, Chaos Rings, is now available in the App Store, but you will have to fork over a princely sum in order to play it. The game features four teams of two, each containing their own storyline.  As part of a two-person team, you will compete for victory and eternal life by battling foes turn-based style.  Your characters will gain levels and experience points by defeating enemies to upgrade your team’s skills, allowing you to unleash more devestating attacks.  Defeating enemies also allows you to obtain DNA information called “gene,” which you can equip your character with to learn that specific enemy’s magic and special attack moves. The two-person turn-based gameplay allows you to choose between solo and paired moves.  Solo moves aren’t nearly as powerful as paired moves, but they allow you to defend yourself as opposed to the paired moves, which are Read More

If you recall, last month Square-Enix posted a job listing to work on a new IP exclusively for the iPhone called Chaos Rings.  It was planned to be released sometime this year, but it looks like the (short) wait is finally over as Chaos Rings has finally made it into the App Store. Unlike previous iPhone titles released by Square-Enix, this is the first title with full 3D visuals which will certainly push your iPhone’s hardware to its limits. What makes this title stand out is not only is it an iPhone exclusive RPG game from a well known publisher, but the team behind Chaos Rings worked on both the Wild Arms & Final Fantasy series. Chaos Rings also uses a “classic game system any RPG fan will enjoy”.  If all that doesn’t sell you, then here’s a synopsis of the game’s story: The story revolves around a tournament where combatants Read More

I wouldn’t, but Square Enix evidently thinks that some people will, based on the $8.99 Final Fantasy XIII Larger-than-life Gallery that’s for sale on the App Store (news via Slide to Play). It’s true that Final Fantasy XII, the latest title in the long Japanese RPG series, is a seriously good looking game. It’s the first Final Fantasy on the “next-gen consoles” like the PS3 and Xbox 360, but $8.99 for high res images that you show tiny details like eye colour, and folds in the character costumes, just seems like far too high a price. Frankly, I’d rather wait for the brand new RPG that Square Enix is purportedly developing for the iPhone this year (this tidbit comes from TUAW). This one should be interesting, since it will be built from the ground up as an iPhone experience, and not simply a port of a 22-year old game. Read More

March 18th, 2010 James Isabel SQUARE ENIX… this app is no comprende. We’ve told you is somewhat true and today, that somewhat becomes a reality… $8.99 to be exact. If your reaction was WTF, you and me both! “This digital photo album is bursting at its virtual seams with ultra-high resolution FINAL FANTASY XIII imagery. Watch intricate design details come to life as you expand and explore gorgeous CG and character art, discovering hidden minutiae like eye colors, clothing materials, and the brilliant luster of accessories” Here’s the dealio. Disregard the current low pricing for iPhone games, WHY would someone buy this app instead of the wonderful and FINAL FANTASY II? The pricing completely baffles me but not more so as the existence of this app. There aren’t that many photos to begin with and the price is just way. too. high. I’m hoping this is some kind of April Fool’s Read More
