Bouncy Dungeon Crawler 'Roundguard' is This Week's Addition to Apple Arcade

[MacRumors]

Apple Arcade today gained a new roleplaying game "Roundguard" for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV:

Roundguard is a bouncy dungeon crawler with pinball physics, lots of loot, and a randomized castle full of oddballs. Press your luck against hordes of dangerously cute monsters and challenging roguelike elements in this all-round bouncy adventure!

If you love roguelikes & Peggle, then Roundguard is for you.

Roundguard is available on the App Store with an Apple Arcade subscription. The subscription-based service provides iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac users with access to over 100 games with no in-app purchases or ads for $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year.

Apple Arcade is the dumping ground for games that can't make it on their own.

The irony is that some of these games I'd like to buy outright, but I'm not subscribing to yet another platform, so everyone loses.

Yes and no. Some are things that would be ruined with freemium. King's League II is a very good game, and it's a lot better on Apple Arcade than it would have been as freemium.

Argh, every time one of these threads comes along I have to download the game and enjoy it, just to spite you people.

Is that Link from Zelda?

Oceanhorn 2 was the only reason to get Apple Arcade and I put alot of hours into that... the ending was horrible though and I immediately unsubscribed after beating it. Would rather have paid $10 to just buy the game

I tried Arcade for a month, and none of the games held my interest for very long. What I hoped there would be a few of were 'Gauntlet' style games. And I don't mean ones where you have funny creatures who bounce into and delay your progress. Yes, I liked having opponents who fought back and not just got pushed out of the way. I also disliked playing with either a mouse on a computer or the really horrible ATV remote. Yes, you can use Xbox or Playstation or 3rd Party controllers. None of which I own, and I didn't want to buy them just to try the games. At least the Wii had sports with semi normal gravity and a controller you could accidentally throw through your screen. I seem to be in between two extremes: the 'all violence is bad' games and the 'ultra violence is good'. Doom, Grand Theft Auto and COD are too violent, and the Apple arcade games are too boring.
