Xbox One Games

Action Henk ($14.99)
Action Henk is a lightning fast platform-racing game set in a beautifully crafted 3D toy box world, where a cast of classic action figure inspired characters compete to once and for all prove that Action Henk is the fastest of them all! The game challenges players to shave milliseconds off their times by running, jumping and butt-sliding with five playable characters across over 70 challenging levels in a game which revels in almost sonic speeds. Action Henk is pure, unadulterated joy at an eye-watering pace. Collect bronze, silver, gold or even rainbow medals to unlock new worlds and greater challenges. And if that’s not enough: tackle awesome boss races in order to unlock mind-boggling bonus levels.

Ironcast ($14.99)
Inspired by Victorian era science fiction writers such as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. Ironcast is set in an exciting alternative history; a time when refined men and women in top hats and bonnets commanded gigantic walking war machines, laying waste to the enemies of the British Empire. Take control of a seven-meter tall walking vehicle called an Ironcast and face off against an invading force of enemy Ironcast in order to defend 1880s Victorian England. Battles are fought by generating resource nodes which in turn drive the Ironcast’s various weapons and systems. You must choose how to spend these nodes wisely, either offensively in order to cripple and destroy your opponents, or defensively, if they suspect a barrage of incoming weapons fire is due.

McDroid ($7.99)
After crash-landing on a lush planet infested by aliens, you find yourself having to repair your spaceship and fight off the aliens in order to get back home in this hectic mix of action and tower defense genres. Take control of the cute McDroid, shoot aliens, build up your base and defenses, harvest resources and make crazy sci-fi weapons, as swarms of alien enemies come at you, wave after wave, corrupting the ground around and even using your own resources against you. Explore each level, find secrets, fight huge bosses and heal the planet. McDroid is a game for players of all ages who are looking to test their wits and flex their trigger fingers.
