| 3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 179) Posted: 25 Jun 2021 04:07 AM PDT Happy last Friday of June! :) And welcome to my weekly game recommendations based on the most interesting mobile games I played last week. Hope you'll enjoy it. Also, I launched a Patreon this week to support my mobile gaming content creation. Check it out if you're interested: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3 This episode includes an amazing story-driven RPG deckbuilder, a casual atmospheric drifting game, and a huge sci-fi simulation strategy game about building spaceships and exploring the universe. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 179 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:The Witcher Tales: Thronebreak [Game Size: 2.7 GB] (free trial)Genre: RPG / Deckbuilder / Card / Fantasy - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a singleplayer story-driven deckbuilding RPG with card-based combat and a huge open world full of interesting stories, NPCs, and monsters to explore. The game has us walk around an open 2D world to find hidden treasures, talk with NPCs, recruit new companions, and fight monsters. Combat is similar to GWENT, which means it's a card-based system where we have to win two out of three rounds to win the fight. The combat system is incredibly well made and forces us to constantly adapt our strategy to how the opponent is playing and find synergies to utilize. Cards used during combat are called companions, and we unlock and buy these as we progress in the game. Buying new companions costs gold and wood, which we can find scattered throughout the world. These same resources are also used to upgrade our camp tents, which gradually unlocks new features, such as the ability to talk to our recruits to learn about their story and the mysteries of the game's universe. The game has an awesome story that really makes it feel as if we're living in the Witcher universe. We're even asked to make various tough decisions throughout, which leads to a total of 20 different endings. The art-style, music, and fantastic voice-overs all add to the gameplay experience and are perfectly ported from pc. The only slight downside is that the UI shown when picking up resources is rather small. Thronebreaker is a free to try for about an hour, after which the full game can be unlocked through a single $9.99 iAP. The full game offers about 30 hours of gameplay, and it's absolutely one of the best deckbuilder narrative-driven RPGs on mobile, so it's an easy recommendation. Google Play: Here MiniReview link: Here Tofu Drifter [Total Game Size: 165 MB] (free)Genre: Drifting / Racing / Casual - Offline Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Tofu Drifter is a beautiful and fun racing game about producing and delivering tofu orders while drifting as much as possible to earn xp and gold used to upgrade our business. If we hit any objects as we drift down the randomly generated tracks, the tofu gets damaged and we earn less XP and gold as a result. Between deliveries, we can buy new vehicles and upgrade our tofu production speed, our storage capacity, and our office, which unlocks new tracks and increases the max order count. It takes a while to reach the higher levels since the game is rather grindy, but it also features many different track types and difficulties that prevent it from growing repetitive. The main downside is that when all orders have been delivered, we have to wait for new ones to arrive, which takes five minutes and can be sped up by watching an advertisement. Most importantly, the dreamy low-poly art-style makes drifting feel fantastic in Tofu Drifter, and the music that becomes quieter when we slow down and louder when we speed up helps create a very immersive experience. The controls also work well. Tofu Drifter monetizes through incentivized ads to gain extra orders and acquire bonus XP and gold when finishing a level. There are no forced ads or iAPs. The gameplay is great, but waiting for orders limits the maximum play-session length, which may frustrate some players. Google Play: Here MiniReview link: Here Infinite Lagrange [Game Size: 1.9 GB] (free)Genre: Sci-Fi / Strategy / Simulation - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Little tl;dr review: Infinite Lagrange is a PC and mobile cross-platform sci-fi simulation game about building a fleet of spaceships to explore and exploit a real-time open-world space for resources and rage war against NPCs and other players. The game focuses primarily on grand-scale simulation, which means we expand our space station and direct our fleets where to move or attack, but the combat itself happens automatically once we've engaged an enemy. There are lots of different types of spaceships to build that all serve different strategic purposes during combat or exploration, and they can each even be expanded in various ways and customized with different weapons, which adds a bit of optional min-maxing. The art-style is nice, and the UI is relatively intuitive and easy to understand, which makes it fast to move between menus, bases, fleets etc. Infinite Lagrange monetizes through iAPs to instantly acquire spaceship blueprints and to speed up the time it takes to build spaceships and expand our station. Fortunately, the action points required to attack, mine, etc. cannot be acquired through iAPs, which limits the pay-to-win advantages paying players have over free players. Ultimately, while paying players have an easier time dominating the end-game, Infinite Lagrange offers an interesting space simulation experience that can easily be enjoyed by free players who enjoy the resource-management and space expansion gameplay.

| Crash Drive 3 is a cross-platform racing game arriving next month Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:52 PM PDT After the availability of Crash Drive 3 on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation Store, Nintendo Switch eShop and the Epic Games Store, M2H is ready to release the hit title to both Android and iOS devices. The release date is mentioned to be on the 8th of July this year. As the name suggests, it is a racing game that comes up to the players with a variety of modes and races.

| Top 10 Survival Games for Android in 2021 (my opinion and research) Posted: 25 Jun 2021 06:05 AM PDT tl; dr 1 - When creating this list, I factored in gameplay, crafting trees, diversity of things to do, reviews and graphics. I have bolded the title of each game in the post. I also added 5 extra games at the end that are worth mentioning. tl; dr 2 - Some of you know by now that I create all my posts into concise 200+ word per minute videos so you can watch everything here instead of reading https://youtu.be/5RP5QCbSKxA But for those of you who rather read, here is the video script: Mobile Survival games are taking over the market with big and small game companies on equal ground so in this video I am going to list the top 10 survival games for android and iOS. Some of these top games will not be a surprise to you, but then there are a few that so far have stayed a secret. The first game on the list is Ark: Survival Evolved. This will probably not be a surprise to many of you because this game is absolutely amazing. It does a great job of capturing the feel of being alone on an island full of dinosaurs, has a great crafting tree and base building mechanics, allows you to tame and ride those dinosaurs and even has amazing clan mechanics with epic pvp. The only downside of this game is their monetization strategy which would normally disqualify a game from being first on this list, but mobile survival games have worse monetization systems than most genres which has forced me to lower my standards on this video. The second game on the list is Frostborn. This will probably be a surprise to many of you because most people have not heard about Frostborn outside of this channel. It is made by the creators of Last Day on Earth and they kept the addictive crafting progression using workbenches, but it has actual multiplayer integrated throughout the game. Furthermore, many of the weapons in the game have unique and dynamic abilities making each fight a little different. Leveling up your character and classes allow you to specialize which often results in a really dynamic and strategic team PVP as you defend your base, or fight with people in PvP zones. And it seems like the Dev's are listening to their players which is always a huge bonus to any game. That being said, for those of you who do not like multiplayer in your survival games, then I recommend playing Dawn of Zombies if you like a good storyline, Last Day on Earth if you want to try a classic or Cyberika which is Kefir's newest game. All of these games use the same addictive crafting progression and top down view that we love so much. The third game is LifeAfter. This game is made by Netease and it is fantastically done. I got really into this game long enough to get a top video for the game and the entire time I played it, I was in amazement at how well they balanced team and solo play. If you join an active Camp, there will always be tons of fun things to do and the camaraderie you build with your teammates is unprecedented. I still have people messaging me almost two years later saying how much fun they had when we used to play lifeAfter together.And I couldn't agree more. I loved defending our base each week, fighting the camp boss each week, and competing for the championship at Charlestown each month. Honestly, it is one of the best games I've ever played, but the grind was so overwhelming. Even with amazing friends that would try to help me do my daily Quests, the game just simply took too much of my time. So if you have not played LifeAfter or if you don't care about being a top player, this should be one of the games you play next. The fourth game is Day R Survival. I was originally turned off by this game because of the graphics and gameplay. It is a slow game where both fighting and survival includes mostly managing numbers, but as I have learned more about this game, those numbers are what makes this game great. The stats on this game are complex making the strategies on manipulating those stats innumerous. Furthermore the game has a huge world with a vast amount of options for equipment. So if you'll of strategy and have a strong imagination to make up for the lack of visual feedback, this is the perfect game for you. The ninth game is Radiation City. This game is a great survival game with an amazing story. The story starts out with a journalist team tasked with studying the trinoble power plant accident going missing. The leader of that team was your significant other so you set out to save her but a plane crash leaves you just trying to survive. The game has easily over 25 hours of gameplay and it is extremely well done for the mobile phone. And the last game on this list is The Escapists 2: Pocket Breakout. This game is a little more of a casual game that I normally choose for my list, but it is cleverly built and offers a few things that the other survival games on this list do not. The main one is that survival in this game is not imminent but rather self-inflicted. You can of course stay in prison for as long as you want and eat the meals given to you, but if you want to get out of prison and get to the beach, then you will need to devise an escape plan and once you start that plan, do everything you need to do to survive. So those are the top 10 survival games of 2021. In addition to these 10, I have 5 more that I need to mention, but first 3 weeks ago I interviewed the former international president of Activision and everyone that is watching that video is amazed because it was an amazing interview, but very few people are clicking on it to watch it and I am not sure why. I don't know if you guys think it is clickbait or something, but it is not clickbait so here is the link and I could not recommend it more. Ok so back to the 5 extra games I need to mention. You will be hard pressed to find a top 10 survival game list that does not include This War of Mine. The game is about a civilian father trying to protect his daughter in the middle of a war. It is critically acclaimed for its music, creativity and it's heart wrenching story which is why it did not make it to my top 10 list. I play games to have fun. I have a serious job where I get to help a lot of people that are hurting and my heart breaks for them as I help them in real life so I am not interested in also doing that in a game, but if you are, this is the game for you. Another game that its players love, but I just can't get behind it is Don't Starve. I do not like the style of art and I simply can't get myself to play this game, but the players of this game love it. It is one of if not the highest rated survival game on Android and iOS. Then there is Minecraft which is of course a great game, but also everyone already knows about it so I didn't want to put it on the list. That being said, if you didn't know Minecraft was available on the phone, well now you know. Another game I had to mention is Alien: Blackout. This game is made by the creators of the movies and it almost made it to the top 10 list because it is so different and unique compared to other survival games, but ultimately it got eeked out because there were so many great games. Well, that's it guys. Hope that helps. If you liked this video or how I think about video games, make sure to check out my playlist with the top 10 mobile games. I cover a lot of other genres you might be interested in. Alright guys, I will see you next time. tl; dr 1 - When creating this list, I factored in gameplay, crafting trees, diversity of things to do, reviews and graphics. I have bolded the title of each game in the post. I also added 5 extra games at the end that are worth mentioning. tl; dr 2 - Some of you know by now that I create all my posts into concise 200+ word per minute videos so you can watch everything here instead of reading https://youtu.be/5RP5QCbSKxA [link] [comments] | ||

| Titan Quest DLCs are on Sale, 30% off, I think Posted: 25 Jun 2021 12:06 PM PDT For everyone who got the base game back then. Also, the game was updated. Now we can buy potions in bulk. There's a way better controller scheme (attack with triggers and cast skills with face buttons) An a bunch of other fixes. Also, it doesn't state in the release notes, but it seems that the drop rate was improved, and you can find "expansion only" items on the base game. [link] [comments] | ||

| [Android][2017]A location-based game where you capture territory Posted: 25 Jun 2021 09:44 AM PDT Hi, I played this game back in 2016-2017. Here's what I remember of it: Location based, game interface was a real 2D map Gameplay revolved around walking, leaving a trail behind you, which you connected to itself to make an area which you would then control. You could take territory from other players by walking through their areas and making your own. There was also a mechanic where your territories would generate a resource which you would use to bolster its defense or launch missiles at other players' territories. It had a "clan" mechanic where everyone in the clan would share territories. Thanks in advance for any help! [link] [comments] | ||

| I'm looking for an old android game. Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:43 PM PDT The game format is a black cat running endlessly over rooftops to collect coin and avoid obstacles. This is the closest image I can find but the game was more of a pixel style. Does anyone know about it? [link] [comments] | ||

| For any Board game fans out there, Spirit Island is now available for phones. Posted: 24 Jun 2021 12:37 PM PDT Spirit Island is my favorite board game. I play it solo all the time. Nice change away from all the screens. However it is now also available on phones. It was already available on steam and tablets, but since yesterday it is also available on phones. It has a free trial where you can play the first few turns. You can unlock the base game for 18€ or subscribe for 2€ a month to unlock everything including the Branch and Claw expansion and future expansions (Jagged Earth). Might be a bit of steep pricing, but it plays really well imo. My phone (OnePlus 7T) gets really hot really fast though. Online multiplayer is still in the works. In Spirit Island you play as Spirits who protect the island from invaders who try to colonize the island. You can attack the invaders by playing cards which activate certain powers of the spirits. The game mechanisms consist of deck building, area control, hand management and set collection and more. It is a highly rated strategy board game. Check out the Boardgame Geek page.

| Split controllers like Switch Joycons on Android? Posted: 24 Jun 2021 08:25 AM PDT I've got reasonably bad wrist issues, and the Joycons on the Switch have been a revelation for me. I can hold each hand independently in any orientation and play games, and it's been amazing. Is there any way to use split joycons or a similar split controller as one controller on Android? (I know I can use just one joycon as an Android controller, but I'm specifically looking at using two independent hand controllers as one controller.) [link] [comments] | ||
| [REQUEST] Looking for games with campaign/story mode that are not P2W Posted: 24 Jun 2021 06:26 AM PDT Here are some examples of games I played and liked: Slaughter 1,2 and 3, Mindcell, Space Marshals 1,2 and 3, Grimvalor, Implosion, Death Squared, Codex of Victory, Door Kickers, Action Squad, Xenowerk Tactics, Zombie Night Terror, XCOM, Life is Strange, Hitman GO, Deus Ex GO, Lara Croft GO, Arma Tactics, Mini Metro, Duet, Human Resource Machine. Basically I'm looking for games that I can play from start to finish (not endless games). All of the above games are one of these two: paid with no additional in-app purchases OR free first chapter and you purchase the full game/chapters via in-app purchase. Only those 3 GO games have purchasable "hints", but I can ignore that because you only need them if you don't know how to solve a puzzle. I really, REALLY hate consumables that can be purchased with real money. These are some games that I also liked but they would be much better without in-app purchases: Bloons TD6, Iron Marines, Kingdom Rush games, Vector 2, Modern Combat 4, ROBOTS, NFS Most Wanted. I probably listed almost all good games here, but if you know some that I missed, please let me know. [link] [comments] | ||
