Hark News, Whenever, Willy, and other apps to check out this weekend
January 06, 2018 by RSS Feed
This week’s edition of our Apps of the Week roundup features a new app for reading articles to you, a new calendar app, and a social app that can send messages into the future. And as always, we’ve selected two great new games for you to check out.
Hark News
Want to read that big news article everyone is talking about, but don’t have the time or patience to eyeball your way through 2,000+ words? Meet Hark News. Just open the app and enter in the URL of the article you want to read, and it takes care of the rest. The app converts the text into an audio file that you can play offline—it’s like having a digital assistant read the article to you! Hark supports a number of website formats and uses Apple’s built-in voice services to create the audio. I know there are other apps that do this (as well as an iOS accessibility feature), but the sharp design and simplicity of this app make it worth checking out. Hark News is available for $0.99.
Whenever
Whenever is a casual calendar/todo-list/reminders app, modeled after the simplicity and flexibility of a physical notebook. Use it to keep track of whatever you deem most important in your life. I know, I know, there are tons of these apps already out there, but anytime a new one pops up with a good-looking interface and a fresh take on data input, I feel like it’s worth mentioning. You never know, this could be the calendar app you’ve been looking for. It’s free to check out, but if you like it you’ll probably want to pay the $5 to upgrade to the Plus version, which allows you to sync up with Google Calendar, iCloud, etc. Whenever is available for free (with a single IAP).
Willy
Willy is a social app that makes it possible for you to send photos, text, and videos… into the future! You’ve seen it in a million Sci-Fi movies: a time-traveler sends himself a message from the future to help avoid a treacherous event. Now, you can do the opposite with Willy: create a message with a photo or video, add some text, choose your contact(s), and set the date and time in the future that the message will become available. You can choose how long your message will be available and who can see it, and you can delete your messages manually. It’s a bit odd-sounding, I know, but the unique concept seemed worth checking out. Will is available for free.
Beyond Helios
Beyond Helios is a modern take on the retro space shooters found in arcades long ago. Your goal is to clear as many of the randomly generated battlefields as possible before all the ships in your squadron are taken out. A new battlefield is generated after each one you clear, so the game goes on as long as you can survive, but be careful the battles get more chaotic and dangerous as you progress. Completing zones earns you gems which you can use to buy effects and upgrades for your ship, allowing you to go even farther and keep increasing your high score! Beyond Helios is available for $0.99.
Man Vs. Missiles
Here’s a fun one for you to check out this weekend. Man Vs. Missiles. Players are tasked with flying their planes and avoiding the incoming missiles for as long as possible. You use your fingers to control the plane with an on-screen joystick, collect coins and use them to upgrade your flyer, collect shield and speed boost power-ups and deploy flares to destroy oncoming missiles. There are 30 levels to play with unique objectives to complete and you can invite your friends to compete with you for the top leaderboard spot. Man Vs. Missiles is available for free (with some IAPs).

Become a Master Thief and Strategically Pillage Everything in Antihero
January 05, 2018 by RSS Feed
Antihero ($4.99) by Versus Evil is the mobile port of the original Steam game. It's a turn-based digital board game that requires strategic thinking and features some light RPG elements in the mix. If you liked other games like Onirim, Card Thief, and SteamWorld Heist, then you'll like what Antihero brings to the App Store.
When it comes to games like JRPGs, I always liked to pick the character classes that let me do cool things, such as the Thief in Final Fantasy. I've always had a liking for the thief class, because they're usually agile and nimble, allowing you to do things like steal. When I saw Antihero, I was intrigued because it's a game that's all about being a "master thief" and running your own thieve's guild. I mean honestly, how can I say no to that? And while I didn't hear about Antihero until just days ago (it originally came out in July 2017), I have to say that this is a title that doesn't disappoint.

Antihero has a unique visual style that I'm loving from the get-go. The game is rendered in 2D but because of the angled, top-down perspective of the board, it feels like pseudo-3D. However, all of the character sprites are flat, so it's a nice contrast with the board itself. Each unit type has a unique appearance that makes it easy to differentiate from each other, and the Victorian-era towns have a cozy look and feel to them. The towns are dark and gloomy, but the red and blue shades of your guild versus the enemy are a nice complement to the somberness. Animations are buttery smooth and fluid on my iPhone 8 Plus, so I had no issues with lag or choppiness. The ambient soundtrack is also fitting for the Victorian setting, and it's delightful to listen to, along with the sound effects.
There are three ways to play Antihero: single-player Campaign, Go Online, and Skirmish. Going online requires creating an account, which is simple enough, and it allows you to do PvP with other players in asynchronous battles. Skirmishes can be done against the AI or with other players locally, but you can customize the rules for distinctive and interesting battles. However, chances are high that you'll be spending most of the time in the rich single-player Campaign.
In the Campaign, there's a large number of levels to play through, with the difficulty ramping up on each stage. You'll have to go through the levels in chronological order, and there's no option to skip a stage, so if you're stuck, well, you'll need to try harder. The first three levels serve as the tutorial and help you understand the rules and flow of the game.
To complete a level, you'll need to gather enough victory points before your opponent does. These are earned by completing various objectives, such as: infiltrating a church for Blackmail, assassinating certain public officials to fulfill Contracts, and more. The game tells you in the beginning what things you can do to earn victory points, so you just have to make sure you get enough before your rival.
Game flow and controls are simple enough. Each turn, your Master Thief can Scout, Burgle, or Attack, but each action costs an Action Point. Scouting lets you uncover hidden parts of the level, Burgle lets you steal some gold coin, and Attack can eliminate enemy units standing in your way. The Action Points refill on each turn. As you get coins, you can purchase units and expand your guild. Each unit does something different and you'll have to think about what's best for the situation at hand.
For example, Street Urchins can infiltrate businesses so you acquire resources faster (freebies each turn). Thugs can guard for two turns, Gangs can attack or evict enemy units from buildings, and Saboteurs can set up traps. You'll uncover more unit types as you get further along in the game, and each one has a useful skill that you'll want to take advantage of. As you get coins, make sure to use them to get more units if you're able to.
During each turn, you're also able to check your Guild and purchase upgrades. The upgrades cost lanterns, so you should generate free lanterns on each turn by controlling a Trade Shop. The upgrades unlock more unit types and can give your Master Thief more power, such as more Action Points and more damage when attacking. You can also choose Charity, which gives you free gold or lanterns each turn, but then you can't get an upgrade.
Once you've made use of all available actions for your units and have spent your upgrades or collected charity, you can submit your turn and then it goes to the opponent, rinse and repeat.
Antihero is a fantastic addition to anyone's strategy game collection.
Antihero is a fantastic addition to anyone's strategy game collection. The cartoonish art style is rather special and unique, and the sound design is excellent, including the voice acting. The controls are simple (just taps) and they seem perfectly optimized for touch screens. The variety in unit types means a lot of strategy and planning is involved, and the levels can be rather challenging. It's also great that there is multiplayer, both online and locally, with the option for custom rule sets to make matches even more interesting. Each round starts off a bit slow, but once things get rolling, it's incredibly addictive.
While Antihero is a great game, it may not be for everyone. If you're not the type to methodically calculate your move in strategy games, then this may end up being frustrating, as the difficulty ramps up after the tutorial. Plus, matches can take a while, so you do need time to spare for this.
The verdict
I'm usually not big on strategy games because I end up being terrible at them, but Antihero is definitely one I'll be keeping around. It has distinctive game mechanics that feel interesting and fresh, and the controls are optimized for touch. Plus, I get to live my dream of being a thief and having a guild all my own, so it's a keeper.
I recommend Antihero if you're a fan of board game style games or just want an in-depth strategy game for your collection. You can find Antihero on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for $4.99.
