3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 161)
Welcome welcome, my fellow Android gamers, to this weekly tradition where I summarize the most interesting mobile games I have played this week :) This episode includes an awesome samurai-inspired action fighting game, a fantastic RPG with Heroes of Might and Magic-inspired combat, and an old-school turn-based tactical indie RPG with more features and systems than most RPGs I’ve played on mobile. Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 161 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Let's get to the games:
Ronin: The Last Samurai [Game Size: 310 MB] (free)
Genre: Fighting / Action / Rogulite progression - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Ronin: The Last Samurai is a unique action fighting game with a beautiful "ink wash" art-style and Archero-inspired roguelike progression systems. With only an attack and a defend button, combat seems deceptively simple at first but quickly turns into a game of masterfully blocking incoming attacks and identifying each enemy’s attack patterns. Most importantly, combat just feels great, and any attack or animation can be interrupted to block an incoming attack, which plays a big part in making it feel responsive. In fact, blocking at just the right time allows us to parry incoming attacks, which reduces the enemy’s “Posture”. Once posture has been fully reduced, the enemy gets stunned for a few seconds. The core gameplay consists of a series of one-screen stages that each contain a few enemies, with bosses at every fifth and tenth stage. Every time we level up by defeating enemies, we get to pick one of three available abilities that last until we die, allowing us to gradually grow stronger. We fight until we die, and between deaths, we can then equip or upgrade loot found during combat, or spend gold to unlock random new permanent stat boosts to hopefully progress further the next time – much like in Archero. Ronin: The Last Samurai monetizes through incentivized ads to revive once, an energy system that limits our play-session length, and iAPs for a premium currency used to instantly acquire new loot, buy forging scrolls used to upgrade equipment, and get more energy. If you can live with the monetization and just play the game for 30-40 minutes at a time, it provides a challenging combat experience that is definitely worth checking out.

Rivengard [Total Game Size: 414 MB] (free)
Genre: RPG / Turn-based - Online & Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Rivengard is a fantasy-themed tactical RPG with an interesting turn-based combat system that has us build out a large team of heroes to fight through PvE campaign missions, AI PvP matches, guild raids, and much more, while collecting loot and gold to upgrade our heroes and forge better gear. Every hero has unique stats and abilities, and at the start of each match, we select which to use and where to position them on the hex-grid playing field to best counter the opponents. We get to move every hero on each turn, and attack opponents with normal attacks or abilities if we’re within range, much like in the Heroes of Might and Magic PC games. The terrain even increases the strategic gameplay depth by including bushes to hide in, HP-recovering tiles, and elevated platforms that provide a damage boost, and since there is no auto-combat system, each fight is both engaging and fun. Progression happens primarily through completing campaign levels and quests that provide shards, laurels, and gacha tokens used to unlock new and level up existing heroes. While it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the game, there is an energy system that caps the speed of this progression by limiting our play-session length to roughly 20-30 minutes at a time. Monetization happens through iAPs for a premium currency used to buy chests with resources and items, summon heroes, and recover energy when it has depleted. With lots of game modes and a guild system that the developer is actively expanding, Rivengard is a promising and fun RPG primarily held back by a monetization system that may frustrate some players.

Grim Wanderings 2 [Game Size: 114 MB] (free)
Genre: Strategy / Turn-Based / RPG / Indie / Complex - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Grim Wanderings 2 is a deep old-school indie RPG with turn-based tactical combat, large hex-grid maps, lots of quests and random events, and 25 unique character classes. In either the Adventure or Strategy mode, we travel a hex-grid world to fight enemies, hire new troops in towns, build new buildings, and complete quests or random events – a bit like in Heroes of Might and Magic. Once we’re ready, we can start exploring the many events and locations each hexagon world tile contains. For example, we may travel to a lake and meet a fisherman who we can forcefully ask to share his fish, or even rob. After selecting an action, we're shown eight cards of which we pick one to determine if our action fails or succeeds. While there is already lots to dive into, the developer have an incredible amount of plans for the future, including an arena PvP mode, an endless mode, many more events, and even a game editor that will allow the community to create its own quests and events. The game’s biggest flaw is its complex UI, which, in combination with the overwhelming amount of systems and features that are all available from the beginning, makes the game difficult to get into. There is also no auto-save, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you view it. Grim Wanderings 2 monetizes through occasional ads and a 60-minute daily play-time limit, all of which can be removed through a single $2.99 iAP. If you’re ready to dedicate the time it takes to fully understand the game, it may provide one of the deepest and most unique turn-based RPG experiences on mobile.

3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 158)
Happy Friday, my fellow Android gamer - and welcome back to this weekly rundown of the best games I have played this week :) This episode includes a brilliant new roguelike action RPG, an amazing sci-fi multiplayer RPG with a huge focus on community and player-to-player trading, and the best high-quality sandbox mech shooter I’ve ever played on mobile! Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 158 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Let's get to the games:
DarkZone [Game Size: 439 MB] (free)
Genre: RPG / Online / Indie / Semi-idle - Requires Online Access Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Darkzone is story-driven sci-fi themed multiplayer RPG with crafting, guilds, real-time and idle co-op combat, player-to-player trading, an insane amount of awesome loot, and a great community. Before entering combat in Darkzone, we must select another player’s hero to take with us into battle. The fight itself is semi-idle, which means the two heroes attack automatically, while we can tap on monsters’ weak points to deal more damage and pick up orbs that fill up a special ability bar. Combat is fast-paced, and there are even real-time co-op boss battles too. Additionally, we gain idle progression rewards when other players use our character to help them out in their own single-player fights. Loot equipped as gear slowly breaks down when used, so we must repair or salvage it for crafting materials used to create modification implants that can be added to new gear. Combined with the Attributes and Skill systems, this provides a deep level of character customization. Alternatively, resources can be bought and sold on a real-time player-to-player marketplace – something that is very rare to see in a mobile game. Darkzone monetizes through iAPs that focus almost exclusively on skins and cosmetics, which means the monetization is close to perfect. Combined with the game’s heavy emphasis on social interaction and play, Darkzone is one of the most interesting online RPGs I have ever played, and is a must-try for any sci-fi RPG fan.

Otherworld Legends [Game Size: 273 MB] (free)
Genre: RPG / Roguelike / Dungeon-crawler / Indie - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Otherworld Legends is a fun roguelike action RPG by Soul Knight developer ChillyRoom, featuring a high-quality pixel art-style, great controls, and an awesome melee fighting combat system with lots of different skills and unique stats for each character. Fighting our way through procedurally generated dungeon rooms full of monsters and bosses feels great, and the many unique weapons and items that can be bought at randomly occurring shops to provide new abilities or stat boosts that last until we die, provide a constant feeling of progression. The dungeons are also very diverse in their design, and there is even a secret bonus room to find on each floor if we look hard enough. Like any roguelike, all equipment is lost when we die, forcing us to start over from the first dungeon floor. Permanent progression is achieved between deaths by crafting stat-increasing beverages from items gathered through combat, unlocking new abilities, or by buying new heroes. Otherworld Legends monetizes through incentivized ads and iAPs for weapon enhancers, resurrection cards, and to unlock new characters – none of which are necessary to enjoy the game. With its multiple control options, great art-style, and fun fighting-based combat, Otherworld Legends is a must-play for any action roguelike RPG fan. Google Play: Here MiniReview link: Here

Friday means mobile game recommendations, so as tradition has it, here are my weekly suggestions of the week :) This episode includes a very unique cyperpunk-themed arcade game, a cute new adventure platformer, and a story-driven MMORPG with a JRPG combat system!

Let's get to the games:
Dadish 2 [Game Size: 110 MB] (free)
Genre: Platformer / Adventure / Indie / Humoristic - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Dadish 2 is a humoristic platform adventure game about a radish dad on a mission to save his radish kids who got scattered across the game’s 50 levels after they got lost on their way to a “bring your kids to work” day. Using the left-side of the screen to walk in either direction and the right-side to jump, we make our way through obstacles, traps, and bosses, to get to our kid at the end of the level, while trying to collect each level’s hidden star. In many ways, Dadish 2 is the essence of a good indie platformer experience, with fun characters, pleasing pixel-art, controller support, secrets to discover, and challenging level designs. Dadish 2 monetizes through ads shown between deaths, with a single $2.99 iAP to remove the ads. App Store: Here
Hyperforma [Total Game Size: 429 MB] ($4.99)
Genre: Arcade / Puzzle / Sci-Fi - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Hyperforma is a cyberpunk-themed one-of-a-kind arcade puzzle game, both in terms of gameplay, visual style, and its mysterious story that we unravel by playing through the game’s seven chapters. Our objective is to hack an ancient computer network in cyberspace by attacking its core with our character. The core is surrounded by a 3-dimensional shell of blocks that we must first break. To do so, we rotate the shell of blocks to find weak spots and then tap the screen to launch our character towards the block. Depending on how quickly we solve the level and how many blocks we destroy, we can receive up to three keys used to unlock new levels. The futuristic sci-fi backgrounds, colorful ambient, and visual effects look stellar, and the music and sound effects create a truly immersive atmosphere. Although we unlock new skills as we progress, such as the ability to clone ourselves, the core gameplay never changes, which makes it slightly repetitive. Thankfully, the intriguing story and interesting universe help make up for that. Hyperforma is a $4.99 premium game with no ads or iAPs. App Store: Here

3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 68)
Welcome, fellow mobile gamer, to this weekly series documenting my week of mobile gaming :) And trust me, this was a really good week! So today, I'll be covering a completely free and offline-playable pirate-themed adventure game, a super fun Worms-like 2D turn-based PvP shooter, and a unique arcade platformer with an awesome level editor and an active community of creative people creating some of the most challenging levels I’ve ever played in a mobile game. Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 66 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Let's get to the games:
Astrogon [Game Size: 122 MB] (free)
Genre: Arcade / Platformer / Level-editor / Indie / Neon-style - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Astrogon is a fun and unique neon-style vertical arcade platformer with a solid level-editor and an active creative community that provides endless challenging levels. The objective is to collect 3 stars and finish each level as quickly as possible by tapping the left and right sides of the screen to swiftly jump from platform to platform. Our character and the platforms can be either red or blue, and touching platforms of the opposite color means instant death. Fortunately, red and blue orbs allow us to switch color, and along with other gameplay-altering objects scattered throughout each level, they’re what makes the game truly challenging. The elaborate community features allow us to comment on each user-created level and attempt to beat its world record. Combined with the simple controls, upbeat soundtracks, and levels that are relatively easy to finish but incredibly difficult to complete fast with all 3 stars, Astrogon provides one of the best arcade platforming experiences on mobile. Creating and unlocking individual community-built levels requires tokens we acquire by spending the stars we earn from playing levels. Astrogon monetizes by selling additional stars and occasional forced and incentivized ads between levels that can be removed through a $2.99 iAP. App Store: Here
Boom Slingers [Game Size: 169 MB] (free)
Genre: Action / PvP / Worms-like / Indie - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Boom Slingers is a hilarious 2D turn-based PvP shooter with sling mechanics reminiscent of those found in popular PC-title “Worms” and wacky weapons ranging from ninja stars to fireballs and lasers. In the 1v1 real-time ranked or friendly fights, both players start with 2-3 characters scattered around the map and a pre-defined deck of 8 weapon cards, of which 4 are constantly in hand. On each turn, we select a weapon that we drag, aim, and release to destroy our opponents or blast them off the map. Every card has a mana cost, and for every turn, our mana pool increases by one, which means we can use multiple weapons per turn towards the end of each match. There are 50 unique character designs and 40 weapon cards to unlock and level up by collecting more of the same card. Cards are rewarded through playing matches and progressing in the free and paid battle passes. Boom Slingers is a highly polished indie game, its well-designed arena maps rotate throughout the day to keep things fresh, and the developer works closely with the community on Discord. It is the best and most frenetic PvP slingeartillery game I’ve played on mobile to date. Monetization happens through a few incentivized ads, a $4.99 season pass, and iAPs up to $12.99 that allow us to progress faster. Because we’re matched based on a rank system and all weapons cards can be grinded through normal gameplay, I have not yet met unfairly strong paying players, although they do have a pay-to-progress-faster advantage.

Welcome back, my fellow Android gamers! After the warm "welcome back" last week, I'm thrilled to follow-up on schedule and on-time this week, hehe. This week, I played a very unique indie puzzle game where we have to undo jigsaw-like puzzles, an early access version of the brand new Crash Bandicoot runner by King, and a fun fantasy-themed simulation idle game where we manage an RPG-like shop! Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 149 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Let's get to the games:
UnpuzzleR [Game Size: 43 MB] (free)
Genre: Puzzle / Casual / Indie / Jiggsaw - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: UnpuzzleR is a unique casual puzzle game where our objective is to undo a jigsaw-like puzzle one piece at a time. Each puzzle piece has an arrow indicating the direction it will attempt to move once clicked, and if nothing is blocking the piece, it flies away and is removed from the puzzle. The difficulty is nicely balanced, and since we can skip levels, there’s no way to truly get stuck in any of the game’s 250 levels. There are also no annoying tutorials or introductions to the 15 different puzzle piece types. Instead, we get to simply learn as we play, which is rare for a mobile game. The minimalistic art-style features a dark-mode for playing in dimly lit rooms, and with no time-limits or scores, the gameplay experience is stress-free and very casual, while still providing a challenging experience in later levels. Monetization happens through forced ads between levels and incentivized ads for additional hints or to skip levels. These ads can be removed through a one-time $1.99 iAP on iOS and $4.99 iAP on Android that also unlocks all 250 levels and allows us to make unlimited mistakes per level. UnpuzzleR is a must-play game that you’re almost guaranteed to love if you enjoy relaxing puzzle games. Google Play: Here
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! [Game Size: 950 MB] (free)
Genre: Runner / Level-based / Action - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: [Early Access - Full Release later in Nov. 2020) Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! is a level-based runner set in the Crash Bandicoot universe that, to my big surprise, is being developed and published by Candy Crush-dev King. The game is still in early access, with a full launch across Android and iOS planned for Spring 2021. True to the original Crash Bandicoot game, the art-style is colorful and vibrant, with most scenery even drawing heavy inspiration from the original game. Also like in the original, we must blow up TNT boxes, collect apples, and spin to tackle enemies. Unlike most other runners, we even have checkpoints from which we restart when we die – a welcomed addition since the game is surprisingly challenging. As we play, we collect resources used to craft potions that are required to play and progress in the campaign levels. If we run out of resources, we must play special resource levels to gather more, or participate in the asynchronous multiplayer runs. After completing enough levels and ultimately defeating the boss, we progress to the next campaign area and repeat the process. I have to also give some credit to the level-design, which, with its secret areas and roads that split into two, create a more interesting gameplay experience than that found in most runners. Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! is not currently monetized in any way, which makes it a great experience for those who can access it. It is ultimately just a runner, but it’s a very polished runner, and one that may give old-school Crash Bandicoot fans a true nostalgia trip. Google Play: Here
3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 150)
Welcome back, my fellow Android gamers! I'm so excited about this week's episode, as it includes some really awesome games that I've been wanting to share with you all for a while now! :) This includes a Runescape-inspired idle RPG developed by a solo indiedev, a sci-fi themed action dungeon-crawler sequel to "Ailment", and a super fun retro arcade game that is almost impossible to complete! Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 150 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Let's get to the games:
Melvor Idle [Game Size: 21 MB] (free)
Genre: RPG / Idle / Indie / Runescape-like - Requires Online Access Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Little (mostly idle) tl;dr review: Melvor Idle is a fun indie cross-platform browser, PC, and mobile idle RPG heavily inspired by the progression system of popular MMORPG, Runescape. Just like in Runescape, we level up a range of resource gathering, refinement, crafting, and combat skills from 1 to 99, which allows us to gradually defeat stronger and stronger enemies and bosses. All resources and skills are exact copies of those found in Runescape, which makes the gameplay experience a true nostalgia trip for any Runescape fan. While crafting and resource gathering is idle, combat requires the game to be open, so that we can collect loot and eat food to avoid dying – something that is especially important during the strong boss fight dungeons. Melvor Idle is gradually differentiating itself from Runescape by adding new content, such as minigames and milestones, and since the game is in open alpha, it receives frequent updates. Melvor Idle provides one of the best idle gameplay experiences I’ve had on mobile, and since it monetizes only through ads at the top or bottom of the screen and a one-time $4.99 purchase to remove these, the monetization is perfect too.

Endurance: space shooting RPG game [Game Size: 338 MB] (free)
Genre: Action / Top-down / Shooter / Indie - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Endurance is a challenging action dungeon-crawler RPG prequel to the popular indie game “Ailment”. Set in the same top-down pixel-art sci-fi universe, our goal is to escape a spacecraft where most crew members have been infected by a disease that causes them to become aggressive and attack us. Exploring the huge spacecraft is a true adventure experience, with hidden objects to discover, countless enemies and bosses to defeat, allies to team up with, and lots of back-tracking once terminals that unlock previously locked doors have been found and activated. There’s a multitude of weapons to find or buy, and we progress by upgrading our health, speed, shield recharge, and trap detection using a single currency we earn as we play. The comical plot and numerous NPC interactions create a humorous yet sinister atmosphere. Combined with the unpredictable nature of exploring the spaceship, this makes for a unique and challenging space shooter experience. Endurance monetizes by showing forced ads between levels, incentivized ads to revive or for small upgrades, iAPs for more in-game currency, and a $2.99 iAP to remove all ads. The monetization isn’t pushed aggressively, and the iAP to remove ads is absolutely worth it for the many hours of entertainment the game offers. Google Play: Here MiniReview link: Here
3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 66)
Happy first Friday of December! :) And welcome back to my roundup of the most interesting mobile games I played this week. This week, I played a new multiplayer arena shooter, a unique action dungeon-crawler RPG, and a polished hero collector RPG with an interesting real-time combat system. Disagree with my opinion? Let’s have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 66 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.
Genre: Shooter / PvP / Arena / Action / Dark / Indie - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Hellfire is a multiplayer arena first-person shooter that draws inspiration from old PC titles such as Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament to create a dark, gritty, and high-intensity 2-8 player shooter experience with no pay-to-win. The indie game features 4 deathmatch maps that unlock as we level up. All players start each match with the same weapon, while better weapons, HP recovery orbs, and Shield recharges are scattered around the small map. The first player to reach the kill goal wins. The simple controls feature a left-side joystick, and two buttons to switch weapons and quickly dash forward. There are both manual and auto-fire options, but I personally think the auto-fire gives the game exactly the fast-paced feel it should have. The main downsides are that there are too few weapons and too few players, the latter of which means we often end up playing bots. However, since we can create our own private rooms, the game is perfect to play with friends – and this is where Hellfire really shines. Hellfire monetizes through premium currency iAPs ranging from $1.99 to $29.99 that are used to unlock new vanity cosmetic characters that provide no gameplay advantages. At this point, the game just needs more players, content, and polish to expand its solid foundation. App Store: Here
Drake n Trap [Game Size: 299 MB] (free)
Genre: RPG / Action / Top-down / Strategy / Dungeon-crawler - Offline + Online Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Drake n Trap is a unique action dungeon crawler RPG where we lead our main character and a team of spawnable fantasy heroes through dungeons full of traps, chests, monsters, and bosses in both PvE and PvP game modes. Before heading into the 500 dungeon levels, we define a deck of five heroes that each have unique stats, abilities, and a mana cost. During combat, we use a left-side joystick to control our character while spawning multiple of each hero by spending mana that recovers over time. The heroes trace our main character and automatically attack nearby enemies and traps unless we tap a button to make them passive. The strategy and almost puzzle-like nature of the dungeons force us to constantly switch between aggressive and passive hero behavior to avoid traps and strong boss attacks, which creates a fun and engaging gameplay experience. In addition to the normal dungeons, the game features both a ranked mode and an arena where we must finish a dungeon faster than six other players who recently played the same dungeon. Drake n Trap monetizes through incentivized ads and iAPs to unlock and level up heroes faster, acquire high-tier loot, and recover energy. The energy system limits our play-session length, but we get so much energy and premium currency for free through achievements and daily rewards that the game can easily be enjoyed as a free player.
