Forbidden Desert Out Now On iOS

Indie developer Button Mash Games has officially released Forbidden Desert on iOS. The game, which is originally a board game, has players working together to survive:

Your mission to recover a legendary flying machine has just been thrown into chaos. An unexpected sand storm has forced your helicopter to make a crash landing. Now, stranded in the vast desert and exposed to an unrelenting storm, your only hope for survival is to quickly excavate the ancient city, find the parts to the flying machine, and rebuild it to escape.

You can download the game on iOS right here, and can also check out Forbidden Island, the first game in the series. Let us know the comments what you think!

Forbidden Desert Has Been Submitted To The iOS Store - Release Soon

Friends of the site Button Mash Games have been busy working away on a iPad version of Matt Leacock’s Forbidden Desert, the sequel to the video game version of Forbidden Island (which, by the way, Patreon's got last November).  

Forbidden Desert has officially been sent to Apple for approval. Sean reached out to me to share the good news, and shared some screenshots of the game:

I can’t wait for the board gamers out there to get their hands on this. We spent a lot of time fine-tuning over the last month and I think the game is playing really well. When it lands in the App Store, players can expect beautiful artwork, fun animations, an intuitive UI, and the same incredible challenge of the original game. Watch out, Forbidden Desert is a tough one!

With Forbidden Desert now in the hands of Apple, it's a matter of time before we see it on the App Store. Once it is finally released, we'll be sure to let you know.  In the meantime, don't forget to check out Forbidden Island on iOS.

Pocket Tactics Previews Forbidden Desert On iOS

The developers behind the iOS version of the board game Forbidden Island, Toronto based Button Mash Games, are working away at the next installment Forbidden Desert.  The gang over at Pocket Tactics previewed the game and is worth a read if you enjoy playing board games on your phone/tablet.

Forbidden Desert puts you in charge of a team of adventurers scouring the desert for pieces of a legendary flying machine. Pieces are not hidden on the board, but are uncovered as you find clues in the desert. Where two clues intersect, the flying machine detritus will be found. Of course, it’s not that easy. There’s a brutal sandstorm that threatens to bury everything even deeper under the desert sand. Like all good cooperative games, there are several ways to lose and only one way to win. Here, you can lose if any adventurer dies of thirst, if the sand gets too deep, or if the clues get swept away by the sandstorm itself. To win, you must find all the pieces of the flying machine and use it to fly to more temperate climes.

The game is expected to hit the App Store 'soon', and while online multiplayer won't be available at launch it will come as a free update.  You can buy Forbidden Island on iOS right now by clicking here, and can check out the full preview of Forbidden Desert here.
