The best escape-the-room games don’t just test your creative problem-solving skills – they look great, too. Released in October this year by Antler (the developer of the succesful VR puzzle SVRVIVE: The Deus Helix), Krystopia offers everything you could want in the genre, including loads of strange, complex puzzles to solve and an intriguing backstory.

When Nova Dune’s spaceship picks up a mysterious distress signal, her curiosity gets the better of her. She tracks it to a barren planet, where the only sign of civilisation is a massive stone gateway embedded in the cliffs. Beyond this gate, Nova discovers a series of doorways, one after the other, all locked.

Following a hugely successful pre-registration campaign, Pearl Abyss' much-hyped MMORPG, Black Desert Mobile, has finally arrived for iOS and Android. With some of the most impressive visuals on mobile, a vast open world to explore, an in-depth character creator, and some real storytelling chops, it's easy to see why over 4.5 million players have pre-registered to get involved in this fantasy epic asap.

You'll begin your adventure by picking one of five classes: Warrior, Witch, Ranger, Giant, or Valkyrie. As you might expect, they all play very differently, boasting their own skills, stats, and general play style. To really make your avatar unique to you, Black Desert Mobile offers one of the most extensive character creators we've seen in a game to date, allowing you to tweak every element of your hero's appearance down to the tiniest of details. Once you've created your perfect character, you'll begin your adventure in the game's stunning open world.

Pearl Abyss' stunning open-world MMORPG, Black Desert Mobile, is set to launch for iOS and Android on December 11th at 12 AM PST (8 AM UTC). However, those looking to get in early and test out the in-depth character customisation will be able to pre-download the game from today.

One advantage of doing so is that it'll allow you to get in early and select your preferred Family Name. If you're unfamiliar with Black Desert, this is the title that displays above your character for your fellow players to see.

Old is the new ‘new’, if the popularity of retro games is anything to go by, and nostalgia junkies now have one more reason to get excited. OutOfTheBit studio has just launched a top-down racing game that pays homage to those arcade favourites of the 1980s and ‘90s. Super Arcade Racing stays true to the beloved games which inspired it, combining simple controls, hand-drawn pixel art and pancake-flat 2D tracks to race around. There’s even a cracking synth soundtrack.

The game’s single player is essentially its story mode. You control Mick, our reluctant hero dragged into the world of illegal street racing to find out what happened to his brother. As you topple racing rivals across the 60 levels, you’ll edge ever closer to revealing the underground organisation up to no good — and saving your sibling.

For most of us playing a mobile game is just a harmless way to kill some time, fight boredom or get a nice quick adrenaline fix. We don’t expect this to have any influence whatsoever on any other creature in the world.

Well this is not the case if you choose Sea Turtle Rescue. Recently released by indie outfit Simberon, Sea Turtle Rescue is intended to help real life sea turtles, with its Ottawa-based developer donating 10% of all profits from the game to the Canadian Sea Turtle Network – a charitable organization from Nova Scotia which helps conserve endangered sea turtles in Canadian waters and world-wide.

Sea Turtle Rescue is a tile-based puzzle game where you match numerical sequences to create paths for baby turtles to reach the sea. From there on, your efforts will be focused on avoiding different threats on the beach as you move your hatchling along the 12 different levels.

Figment: Journey Into the Mind is the latest game from Bedtime Digital Games, a company with a love for the surreal and dream-like settings. Figment is no different and has puzzles designed around the concept of the left and right sides of the brain.

It's set in a human mind, where there's been a sense of calm for the longest time. This changes one day when something causes the mind to have nightmares that manifest themselves as creatures in the world. This is where the protagonist Dusty and his bird friend Piper come in.

Run the Beat is a new rhythm-based platformer with a lovely hand-drawn aesthetic that's been developed by Mousetrap Games for iOS and Android. It's a previous winner of our Big Indie Pitch competition, taking home first place at White Nights Berlin 2019.

In Run the Beat you play as Noty. A little purple creature who's equal parts cute and creepy. You join Noty on an adventure to retrieve his favourite pair of headphones from a wizard who's stolen them for some reason.

Hello Kitty — the cute cat that launched a multi-billion-pound franchise — has been brought to life… sort of. Sanrio has teamed up with the Bublar Group to create a new mobile game that uses AR tech to turn the real world into Hello Kitty’s playground. Hello Kitty AR: Kawaii World will be the character's first official appearance in augmented reality, and is slated for release in summer 2020.

The finer details are top secret, but we can tell you that Hello Kitty AR: Kawaii World will be a multiplayer affair, allowing you to go on AR adventures with friends around the world. There will be treasures to uncover, characters to unlock and endless villages to explore. And it’s all based on state-of-the-art tech that uses Google Maps to build a magical interactive universe out of your surroundings.

Pearl Abyss has just announced that its highly-anticipated MMO, Black Desert Mobile, will launch globally for iOS and Android on December 11th.

It's already shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2019 having already amassed over 3 million pre-registrations, and it could quite possibly be one of the best MMOs ever launched for mobile.

BattleBrew Productions has just introduced another entry into its award winning, barrelpunk inspired, BattleSky Brigade series. Whilst its previous title BattleSky Brigade TapTap provided fans with idle town building gameplay, this time the Singapore based developer has opted to bring some shoot 'em up action to its bunny populated world with BattleSky Brigade: Harpooner.

Now available on Apple Arcade, BattleSky Brigade: Harpooner is a realtime vertical scrolling shooter in which you must shoot down enemies and 'fish' your way through the game's obstacle filled levels.

It's a fantasic time to be a Brown Dust player right now. After a busy October which included the addition of two new Mercenaries and a crossover event with the popular manga That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Neowiz (the developer behind the game)has just introduced another massive update - the biggest so far.

The biggest of these changes without doubt is the introduction of the ‘Jump-start Quest’, which replaces ‘Run Seir Run’. The premise is simple: over the course of one week, new missions will unlock daily for you to complete. Clear the missions to reap Brown Dust’s most generous rewards to date.

Sierra 7 is a game with a pretty storied history. Not only was it was the winner of the Big Indie Pitch at a Pocket Gamer Connects Seattle 2019, but it also started life as an extremely popular Flash game that's been played over 40 million times. You can jump in now on iOS and Android.

Sierra 7 itself is a tactical on-rails shooter with a distinctive minimalist look that would make it easy to spot in a games line up. It promises to deliver both arcade and realistic action and I was keen to see how it combines those two things. The on-rails aspect of the game was chosen because it meant that it would allow mobile players to focus on aiming and shooting rather than having too many on-screen controls to contend with.

The first Hello Hero game hit global platforms in 2013 and proved a huge success, with developer Fincon adding two more entries to this popular series of casual RPG games since. Released in June this year, Hello Hero All Stars brings many of the same beloved heroes back into the interplanetary fold. It’s an idle game that allows you take a back seat whilst your hand-picked squad battles across lands of monsters and bosses. Hero collecting is the aim of the game, with countless characters to unlock and upgrade as you progress.

Players have been sending their heroes trekking across the arid land of Armon, but an update this October will introduce another planet for you to rocket off to. Cucubita features 50,000 kilometres of new world to cover, each stretch brimming with weird and wonderful baddies to beat. There are familiar bosses from Armon, but some new bosses too, and their attack tactics change at set kilometre benchmarks so your heroes will have to be quick to adjust.

Compulsive Entertainment’s high-octane arcade racer, Adrenaline, has now made its way to the App Store following a successful launch on Google Play. It’s a ton of challenging, fast-paced fun, boasting easy-to-learn controls and a varied selection of tracks to master.

There are two different modes to take on: Quick Race and Career. Of the two, you’ll likely spend most of your time working through the 9 Career races. Tracks here range from tight bridges to hazardous mountainsides, and the difficulty curve throughout is smooth and fair. By the time you reach the later levels, you’ll be well on your way to mastering tight corners and other such tricky manoeuvres.

Brown Dust, Neowiz’s epic fantasy RPG, is no stranger to special events, though its latest crossover might be its most exciting yet. On top of a challenging new dungeon, fan-favourite characters from the hit anime series That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime are now available to unlock. The crossover event is scheduled to run through to October 16th, so you’ve got plenty of time to get involved and earn as many rewards as possible.

The new Mercenaries are all quite varied in their skills and playstyles, with Warrior Milim Nava boasting strong forward-slashing attacks and Defender Rimuru packing high agility and defence stats. Milim’s Companion is called Veldora, while Rimuru’s is called Shizu. Every player that logs in during the crossover event can also look forward to receiving Rimuru as a special reward. Simply check your in-game mailbox to find him waiting for you when you log in.
