Talonsbane vs MECHA BURST

Command dragons with the legendary blade Talonsbane. Take to the sky and burn a kingdom of machines. The Demon King has built his army out of iron and steel. His fleets hold the coast, his wall runs a hundred miles across the desert, and his foundries have burned four years straight, building the greatest invasion force in the world. Two swords in all the world can still call dragons out of the sky, and both of their wielders are now united against the Demon King. TAKE BACK THE WORLD Twelve hand-built stages carry the war from the burning harvest fields of Greenshire to a throne of black glass at the end of it. Break four hundred dreadnoughts on the Salt Coast. Cross a hundred miles of rust wall standing across the dunes. Burn the foundries under the mountain while they are still lit. Then play through the second campaign and take the same world back from the other side, with its own stages, its own bosses and its own ending. THIRTEEN BOSSES Sky fortresses. Ironclad flagships. A foundry that flies and builds more of itself while it fights you. At the end of the road stands the Demon King. FOUR DRAGONS EMBER breathes a wide spread that fills lanes. ZEPHYR flies fast and throws a lance that pierces a whole column. TERRA wears armour and fires flak that shreds formations. NOX sends seekers that hunt on their own. BUILT FOR A THUMB Touch anywhere on the left thumbstick to command your dragon. Overdrive, focus and the ultimate fire breath are controlled by the buttons on the right. Your regular attack is automatic, so both hands stay free for flying. Fly your wings and tail through anything; a hit on the heart is the one that costs you. Graze fire to build rage, chain kills for a multiplier, and put your name on the board. Plays on iPhone and iPad. DOWNLOAD ONCE, PLAY FOR FREE ANYWHERE Free and complete. Twelve stages, thirteen bosses, four dragons and three difficulties, yours the moment it finishes installing. It runs in airplane mode, on a train, underground, anywhere.

Shoot. Slash. Level up. A portrait mech shooter where you fly a humanoid combat mech. Earn funds, upgrade your mech with pod cards, and fight your own way to Ace of the Federation. The Earth campaign is free. No ads. Plays offline. ■ WIN, UPGRADE, REPEAT Every enemy you down earns funds. Each time the funds gauge fills, pick one of three upgrade cards and raise a pod type a level (Lv1 to Lv4). In battle, downed enemies drop pods. Pick one up and it fights at your side for the rest of that battle, as strong as the level you've built. The pod you just upgraded always drops from your first kill of the next battle. Your mech levels up as it sorties, too. Armor, reaction, rate of fire and power grow at random, so no two units of the same type grow alike. Spend funds on new mechs and switch rides whenever you like. ■ PODS CHANGE HOW YOU FIGHT Homing missiles, prism lasers that fan out and converge on one target, funnels that surround and snipe, Tesla arcs that call down lightning, spinning blades, a mace on a chain, a flame pod, lasers, machine guns, and an Aegis that soaks up fire: ten pod types to mix. Build for a wall of fire, for one-shot kills, or for survival. Rank up to carry more pods at once (2 to 8), and stock pods with funds to launch them when a tough enemy shows up. ■ MECH ACTION YOU FEEL IN YOUR HANDS Fly with the left stick and fire with the right pad. Close in and cut with the beam saber. Press the stick deep for a booster dash: your armor glows white-hot and shrugs off shots for an instant. Hit sparks, hit-stop on kills, screen kick, purple smoke. Every shot, cut and dodge lands. ■ LEAD YOUR WING Sortie with wingmen at your side. Rise from cadet to admiral and you lead more of them; at the top ranks you can send the wing out on its own. They level up sortie after sortie, too. ■ FROM ORBIT TO THE GROUND Orbit, fortress, open ground, city and asteroid belt, under clear skies, clouds, rain and night, where tracers and explosions light up the dark.
