MONTH
August 2024
Before we dive into a busy month of September, it’s time to take a look back at the best new games that arrived on the App Store last month. Our top choice is a unique turn-based rouge like that uses a deck of cards. Other picks include a number of great puzzlers and a knockout fighting sim.
Zoeti
Akupara Games
A Royal Flush
Turn to the cards while playing the turn-based roguelike Zoeti. With a deck of cards, you’ll create combos, activate skills, attack foes, and defend your self during each battle. For example, you can use hands like two pair, a full house, or straight flush. Each ability is associated with a poker hand. The more complex the hand, the better the ability.
The Godfeather
Quad Goals Pty Ltd
Stealth, Exploration, and Poop
Fly in and play the unique The Godfeather: Mafia Pigeon Saga. The roguelike combines stealth, open world exploration, and tons of poop. You’ll take on the role of the associate in a pigeon underworld who needs to take back the old neighborhood from both bird and human enemies. And since this is the pigeon mafia, you’ll use swoop and poop gameplay to take care of targets that need to be taken care of in each procedurally-generated level.

A Shift in Perspective
Expect the unexpected in the puzzler Superliminal. In the first-person game, you’ll begin by falling a sleep with the TV on at 3 a.m., remembering a commercial for Dr. Pierce’s Somnasculpt dream therapy program.
