By Campbell Bird on March 12th, 2024
Our rating: starstarstarstarstar :: PACE OVER PLOT
This rpg is so exceptionally paced and designed that its poor storytelling doesn’t play a factor.

This stylish shooter is little more than a fun visual spectacle, and that’s ok.

Of Two Minds review

By Campbell Bird on February 20th, 2024
Our rating: starstarhalfstarblankstarblankstar :: TOO FAR GONE
This FMV game is most interesting as a curious cultural artifact and little else.


Resident Evil 4 review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on February 14th, 2024
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: REMADE BEYOND RECOGNITION
Seeing modern, major releases come to mobile is worth celebrating, but that doesn’t change the fact that this “re-make” is fairly disappointing.

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with an event-packed festival in Infinite Borders

Posted by Shaun Walton on February 7th, 2024

One of the most fascinating parts of gaming is the vast array of other cultures you can experience as you enjoy yourself, with the Three Kingdoms era from Chinese History being a personal highlight. Hit grand strategy game Infinite Borders is now injecting some more culture into this classic background with the Spring Festival event.

2024 is the Year of the Dragon in many cultures and Infinite Borders are celebrating this in their festival invite, open to any player who has a Historical Force Value of 200 or more. The fun kicks off the way any great event does; massive explosions, with the Firework Celebration taking place on February 9th and 10th.

Harness the innate might of a curved piece of wood in Boomerang RPG, Watch Out Dude

Posted by Shaun Walton on February 6th, 2024

Sometimes, to produce a beloved mobile game you don’t need an ultimate weapon, you don’t need an in-depth earth-shattering story, and you don't need an over-the-top boss battle. Sometimes, you just need a Dude, and Super Planet is bringing back their beloved character in Boomerang RPG: Watch Out, Dude.

Back in the forgone year of 2018, Super Planet released Missile Dude RPG, an idle game about a non-descript gentleman who picked up a rocket launcher, cracked wise, and blew a host of demons into chunks. It was a big hit, so now he is back, and he's traded his missiles for Boomerangs, as you would.

Delabs breaks into mobile gaming with the release of Rumble Racing Star on Android

Posted by Shaun Walton on February 5th, 2024

Since Nintendo pretty much sounded the death knell for Mario Kart Tour back in October, the weaponised kart racing scene on mobile has got a little sparse of big names, with only KartRider Rush’s Arcade Mode and Boom Karts immediately coming to mind. Now though, Delabs is bringing their signature Rumble Racing Star to mobile.

This is Delab's first foray into mobile gaming, and it is arriving with a bang. Rumble racing Star is a kart racer with a little twist; you are instead all riding lawnmowers which makes the spectacle that much more amusing. Take control of a crazy clown or a man I can only liken to the Ox King from Dragon Ball, and cause some backyard chaos.

Somebody call Ishmael as Moby Dick crashes into Uncharted Waters Origins

Posted by Shaun Walton on February 2nd, 2024

The siren song of the sea has lured another recruit to its waves, as Uncharted Waters Origin announces the release of a new S-Grade Admiral. Following along is a celebratory event for the Lunar New Year, and a fierce new Assault content pitting you against one of literature's most notorious water mammals.

Our new S-Grade Admiral is Zheng Chenggong, a warrior from the Ming dynasty who has struck out onto the seas to fulfil his long-held dreams. Zheng is a match made in heaven for those who want a bit more Ming melee muscle, with skills suited to close-quarter combat. Complete his Chronicle, and you will receive Superior Mate EXP Potions and five tickets for the new S Grade Mate, Aredvi.

Embrace your inner Tomb Raider as Blue Archive goes ruin-diving

Posted by Shaun Walton on February 1st, 2024

Towards the end of December, we covered an update to Nexons’ RPG Blue Archive that involved the characters exploring a fishing town in that most appropriate of gear; swimwear. Well, Nexon has found a vein it likes and will keep tapping it, as they roll out three more summer-clad students in the latest update.

Trinity Extracurriculars: In Search of Hidden Ruins see the player character and three students from the Trinity General School; Ui, Hinata, and Koharu, stranded on a deserted island as they are off on an archaeological adventure. Yes, it appears Indiana Jones had it all wrong, archaeologists don't wear fedoras and brown jackets, they wear swimsuits.

First Impressions of Death Stranding on iOS

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Death Stranding has wandered its way onto iOS, and considering it is yet another beefy and demanding title for iOS devices to handle that seem to be trickling out as of late, I took the liberty of trying the game out for myself, recording my first stretch of gameplay with it, and drawing up some impressions to share with anyone who might be interested in picking it up.

Read on below for some detailed analysis and info of the game at first blush, otherwise feel free to watch or scrub through the video posted above to see for yourself what it seems like.

Mad Max meets Postman Sam as Death Stranding Director’s Cut arrives on mobile

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 31st, 2024

It has been a glorious time for gamers lately, with massive console hits like Resident Evil 4 being successfully ported onto mobile to enjoy on the go, and now it is the turn of Hideo Kojima’s first game after his split for long-time employer Konami; Death Stranding Director’s Cut.

Death Stranding is set in the United States, where the eponymous disaster has utterly devastated the earth, leading to the rise of deadly creatures known as BTs. Players step into the shoes of Sam Porter Bridges, played by once zombie hunter extraordinaire Norman Reedus, a porter who transfers life-saving packages across this inhospitable world.

Ex Astris starts life with a silver spoon as Hypergyph announces Arknights crossover on launch

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 30th, 2024

Developer Hypergryph and publisher Gryphline are making sure the release of their upcoming RPG, Ex Astris, is going to go off with aplomb by announcing a crossover with one of mobile's biggest names. Arknights will be dropping in with some exclusive items to begin your journey in style.

Ex Astris is set on a planet named Allindo, a tidally locked orbit that results in a sun that never sets, so at least werewolves aren't a concern. Players will strike out across this bright land with a team of eclectic allies, travelling in style and comfort in that time-honoured of ways; an RV.

Take a break from all-encompassing cosmic threats as Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.0 takes you on vacation

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 29th, 2024

Travelling the cosmos and protecting the universe can be a bit daunting, so luckily HoYoverse has scheduled some time at a recently renovated vacation spot for the astral crew in Honkai Star Rail. Version 2.0, If One Dreams At Midnight, will also open its doors to three new recruits when it drops February 6th.

After exploring the stars, your crew receive an invitation in the name of The Family to partake in the Charmony Festival on Penacony, once a prison run by the IPC, now a holiday resort presided over by The Family and host to a gigantic hotel named The Reverie, a hotspot for travellers the world over.

Zynga Inc announces a multi-year partnership with Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 26th, 2024

In a piece of rather pretty cool news, Zynga Inc and Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A has unveiled a multi-year agreement which will make CSR Racing, a hyper-real driving sim from Zynga subsidiary NaturalMotion, an official partner of Lamborghini’s new LMDH prototype in the FIA WEC Hypercar Class, and IMSA Grand Touring Prototype racing.

For fans of gaming in general, it is a delightful step forward for the industry to see not only a game developer but a whole franchise itself making this big a stride outside the usual sphere of games. There are, of course, benefits to players too, as the SC63 Hypercar and Squadra Corse will be recreated in CSR2.

MOONTON Games is announced as the inaugural entrant to the Esport World Cup

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 25th, 2024

Thanks to a recent announcement by the Esports World Cup Foundation, as well as mobile developers MOONTON Games, we have learned that the first confirmed title in the inaugural Esport World Cup, taking place this summer, will be the rather well-received MOBA Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

The Esports World Cup is a rather ambitious upcoming event taking place across a giant eight weeks in the heart of Riyadh. The aim is quite simple, showcase the best and the brightest of competitive mobile gameplay by bringing all the top games together in one festival of mindblowing proportions, and let’s hope it comes to fruition

Square Enix continues to decimate its mobile portfolio with closure announcement for Nier Reincarnation

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 24th, 2024

In my humble opinion, recent rumblings from Square Enix have been a bit worrying, to say the least, with their dabbling in blockchain, an “aggressive” approach to AI, and new President Takashi Kiryus’ decree that the company will be publishing fewer games moving forward, which they have quite roundly proven by announcing the shuttering of Nier Reincarnation.

Following the conclusion of the current storyline, The People and the World, Nier Reincarnation will be shutting its doors for good, in another example of Square Enix decimating its mobile portfolio, following in the steps of Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier, Kingdom Hearts Union X, and Echoes of Mana to name a few.

Demain Saga goes for a spot of tea and crumpets as King Arthur arrives

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 23rd, 2024

Speaking as a British human, with my mandatory cup of tea in hand, we don’t really have much in the way of interesting mythology. Sure, the Loch Ness Monster, but in any other country, she would breathe fire. So, it is always exciting when a developer shines a light on the Arthurian Legends, which is what HAEGIN has done in Demian Saga.

The titular King Arthur from the legends has marched in the game, armed with his trusty Excalibur, the key that marks the next king of Elysion. Unsurprising, he is a melee hero who uses his sword and shield to protect and attack, with skills that allow him to buff his allies' Attack Speed or remove enemy beneficial effects.

Two mobile greats band together and announce team-based RPG Order & Chaos: Guardians

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 22nd, 2024

Abandon ye gods as two titans of mobile gaming come together to create a new team-based RPG, called Order & Chaos: Guardians. NetEase Games and Gameloft team up to create a fantasy powerhouse, with a beta set to kick off in a few short days.

Chaos & Order first came to life in 2011 when Gameloft released the original MMORPG for the series, which continued to garner critical acclaim until it shut down early last year. It did spawn a sequel, however, Order & Chaos 2: Redemption, in 2015 which is still going strong. Now, Guardians is taking the series in a new direction.

Do robotic battle for control of a dying world as KEK Entertainment announces Armor Attack

Posted by Shaun Walton on January 18th, 2024

From the massive mecha hits like Armored Core, all the way down to the PS2 Robot Wars game that managed to be utter trash but still great, robotic combat games are fantastically good fun. Looking to wade into this arena next is KEK Entertainment, with their debut game; Armor Attack.

KEK Entertainment is a fairly new company in and of itself, but don’t let that fool you, because they are packing some industry clout. They are staffed by veterans of the industry, coming from big names such as Ubisoft, EA, and DICE, brought together by a desire to make some AAA cross-platform classics.
