Archer, I.

The raunchy, long-running animated comedy Archer is back with its eighth season, dubbed Dreaml, it finds the private detective lead in a coma… but in his head, he’s solving cases in a noir-inspired s Angeles in 1947. And you can help him with the new Archer I. game, which lets you play along with each episode of new season (airing on FXX) on your TV. 

Archer, I. provides a new mystery to solve with each fresh episode this season, you’ll do a bit of sleuthing on your phone to find clues in the game environment. Once you tune into the show, you’ll find extra clues within the episode by using your phone’s camera. For example, there’s a dog in this week’s first episode that you can scan bring into the game to help figure out the mystery. The camera recognition tech can be a bit fidgety; you’ll want to reduce light glare, potentially pause the show to capture any clues. Still, this is a neat way for fans to engage with the show on a deeper level, it’s totally free.

bby

Even in an era of go-anywhere devices that can access endless amounts of digital content, public libraries remain an incredible resource— many of them aren’t just dealing in physical media anymore, either. bby makes that plenty clear.

Both ebooks audiobooks alike can be saved offline, while ebooks can be sent to a Kindle if you have one of the eReaders. And you can return renew content directly from the app, as well. It’s a really hy tool for discovering making the most of your library’s digital offerings.

Transformers: Forged to Fight

ether you’re a fan of the original Transformers animated series or you came into the franchise with the live-action flicks, Transformers: Forged to Fight is designed to please. This Android fighter packs in loads of robots from across the franchise’s output, including the toys comics too, lets you battle it out in head-to-head combat using taps swipes.

The franchise-wise fighting premise sounds a lot like the recent wer Rangers: gacy rs, but Transformers takes stronger cues from the sharp Marvel: Contest of Champions, also made by Kabam. The fighting action is fun approachable, plus it looks pretty nice too, although I saw performance hits on an Galaxy S6 ge+ at times. This is a freemium game, however, so there are timers, energy meters, plenty of opportunities to spend real money for perks new fighters. 

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[]

Kingdom Hearts, the pairing of Disney Final Fantasy characters worlds, has spawned several console hheld role-playing games over the past 15 years, now you can play it on your Android phone with the awkwardly-named Kingdom Hearts Union χ[]. You may have already encountered a version of this game with last year’s Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ, but now it has been rebooted with a multiplayer focus added content.

For anyone unfamiliar with the console entries, Union χ[] thankfully serves as a prequel a first entry point into Kingdom Hearts, with simple tap swipe based battles as your hero of light fights against the dark Heartless creatures. You’ll encounter Disney characters like Mickey Mouse worlds inspired by Snow ite Beauty the Beast, among other classic films, in this simplified role-player. It’s a bit repetitive, but for fans of the oft-convoluted series, this is another crucial bit of lore to soak in— for newcomers, it might convince you to check out the full-bodied console games.
