Assassin's Creed identity to Android for those who don't know what's a sins creed identity is an action RPG where you create your own assassin and then go gallivanting around it should be released

of these apps or games out you can find those links in the video description below don't of God's is a free-to-play stri that could be described as very similar to clash of clans you'll be tasked with building a village upgrading its defenses and then defending it against other players the feature that sets it apart is the ability to summon any one of a hundred and fifty Norris Greek and Egyptian gods to aid you while you destroy stuff there are also six battle modes a campaign mode and a lot more it's not bad but it is an early release so watch out for the bugs the peach is a messaging service that connects you with your friends it includes a lot of the same features as other chat services such as gifs supports emoji and various sharing features what makes this one unique is the variety of words that you can type that the application calls magic words these words give you additional stuff that you can share to express yourself it's actually pretty fun but of course you'll have to convince your friends to join you on the service it seems as though Futurama has joined the slew of television shows and celebrity personalities with their own mobile game futurama Game of Thrones is a match for puzzle game that's themed around the once popular television series it has plenty of the show's trademark work and fans of the show should feel right at home it is a puzzle game similar to other match games so there isn't a lot of originality but it is kind of goofy and fun if you're interested hub keyboard is the latest application out of Microsoft's garage project and this one is pretty nifty it's a keyboard that allows you to quickly link things from other applications without actually leaving the application that you're in for instance you can access documents a translation tool contact information and even multiple clips from your clipboard it's a preview so there are still plenty of bugs but this keyboard has a lot of potential and is worth keeping an eye on the walking dead michonne is the latest point-and-click adventure game from Telltale Games this one focuses around the Michonne character and explores what she was doing during her disappearance in the comics for a little bit it looks in plays like prior telltale games so fans of the previous Walking Dead games will know what they're getting themselves into it's four dollars and ninety-nine cents to start and each episode will run you a few more bucks it is suffering from some early bugs though so do keep that in mind this week's Android apps weekly show is brought to you by beta fish--
