Riddick: The Merc Files
Riddick: The Merc Files, développé et édité par Gaming Corps, a été lancé le 28 août 2013 sur les plateformes Android et iOS. Classé dans le genre aventure, ce titre met en scène le mystérieux Riddick, dont la voix est assurée par Vin Diesel, alors que le personnage affronte des mercenaires à travers seize niveaux.

« If only its action gameplay didn’t always result in being mowed down by one-hit kills, with the addition of some type of alert countdown a la Metal Gear, The Merc Files could have been amazing. »
« It has sadly little to do with the original Xbox game but this is still a competent little stealth adventure, even if the Riddick connection is of arguable benefit to it. »
« Stealth-action is a perfect fit for the Riddick universe. Too bad the kinks weren't worked out prior to release. »
« In the end, Riddick fares better than most movie tie-ins, mainly because of Gaming Corps' dedication to good stealth play and stage design. It could've been better, though, especially with superior action elements and more involvement from Diesel. »
« A stealth-action game that isn't lacking in bright ideas, Riddick: The Merc Files clouds its best bits with a generally clunky, unfinished feel. »
« Not horrible, but glitchy and repetitive making the interesting stealth concepts muddled at best. »
« I guess if shallow stealth games are OK with you, you'll find this one to be a worthy entry to the app store. This is definitely not the iOS version of Riddick that rivals any of the franchises previous efforts, fair warning. In my opinion: your options for a more entertaining stealth game, on the App Store, are numerous. »
« Where Escape From Butcher Bay and Assault On Dark Athena showed how games can complement and expand a film franchise in unique and interesting ways, The Merc Files feels like a rushed, irrelevant addition to David Twohy’s B-movie universe; one that would have been best left on the cutting room floor. »
