Now that Summer's over, app discounts have slowed down quite a lot. Still, scouring for bargains is what we like to do at least once a week and today, we noticed a couple of pretty cool titles on sale in the App Store.
The first is the fairly new "Stealth". As the name implies, it's a game meant to sate the hunger of sneaking enthusiasts – a much needed title, we would say, as stealth games on mobile are few and far between, not to mention that a small percentage of them are actually good.
Stealth looks like a mix between Thief, Metal Gear Solid, and Commandos, and we mean the classic titles – from the '90s. Based in a medieval-looking environment, it has you controlling your hooded character from a top-down perspective, using a virtual joystick and a single action button, which changes its function based on context. There is a MGS-esque radar in the top-left, showing nearby enemies' positions and fields of view – basically, it assists you in staying out of the enemies' sights, while sneaking behind them to deliver a fatal blow. There is also a first-person view button, which brings the camera down and lets you look directly ahead, which is helpful for looking into the deep distances – something that the default bird's eye view can't deliver. The game is a mixture of sneaky take-outs and puzzle solving, and while it can't deliver the depth of a full-blown console or desktop stealth game, it may just help some stealth junkies out there get a quick fix while on the go.
