As you can probably tell by the name, Elven Chronicles is all medieval with swords and dragons and spells and all that. It’s an RPG, and if you’re a big enough nerd to automatically know that an RPG is a role-playing game then this is may be something you could sink your teeth into. People who have already compared it to Zelda and Final Fantasy are right on in some respects… it’s a little like old school Zelda (but better!) in the graphics department and similar to Final Fantasy in that it features turn-based battles, but whether or not you go ga-ga for this game will depend on what kind of RPG’er you are and that’s something I’ll get into later.
Every RPG is set against a storyline backdrop, and in this one you play the role of Rogan, a young stud who wakes up after being ambushed by bad guys. Apparently it’s your lucky day because you’re being cared for by a hot elf girl named Jada and, if it were me, I’d probably sit around drinking ale all day and let the world go to hell. Luckily for mankind, though, Rogan is waaaaay more noble than I am so he and the lady elf immediately go off and start completing quests handed to them by the locals. Obtain these items, defeat that monster, become a Level (x) badass, that kind of thing.

There’s been a growing trend among iPhone game releases lately and if you had to sum it up in one phrase it would be ‘has potential but needs work’. Adding +1 to this trend is the action RPG Dungeonslayer (DS hereafter) from Needsnacks Studios. This game will remind one of Diablo from the screenshots/video and certainly it appears to draw inspiration from that classic but alas, after playing through the game it’s clear the consummate Diablo clone for iPhone has not yet been delivered. Enough then about Diablo, let’s get down to specifics about Dungeonslayer, a game which I do like (despite my opening comments) and have lots to say about so buckle up for a lengthy review.

When a game like Underworlds from Pixel Mine Inc gets released, life is good. I’ve been waiting for an action RPG in the same vein as Diablo on this platform for months and now it’s finally here. Be assured though, this is no clone but an original creation from the ground up, designed exclusively for the iPhone. The game posits you as a scrub guard for a travelling caravan headed up by old man McTavish. On a routine stop in the town of Albrect, mysterious attacks on the townspeople inspire you to lend your righteous blade to the cause.
