| 5 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 205) Posted: 11 Feb 2022 05:22 AM PST Welcome back to this weekly Friday tradition, where I share my very best mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week :) Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3 This episode includes an amazing new roguelike deck-builder, a fun casual solitaire-like indie game with a fantasy RPG twist, one of the best strategy board games on mobile, a neat 2D fighting action game, and a classic escape-room puzzler. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 205 weeks ago here. Let's get to the games:Breach Wanderers: Roguelike [Game Size: 181 MB] (Free)Genre: Deck-building / Roguelike - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Breach Wanderers is a fun roguelike deck-builder with an interesting turn-based combat system, over 600 unique cards, a deep level of strategic freedom, and lots of random events. Part of what sets the game apart is that we unlock both temporary and permanent cards. During a playthrough, every battle won lets us pick one of three cards to add to our deck until we die, and between runs, we buy packs that unlock permanent cards used to customize our starting deck, making the game feel like a unique mix of a traditional deck-builder and a CCG. At the start of a run, we're presented with a Slay the Spire-inspired map that lets us decide which path to take towards the boss at the end. During combat, we draw a hand of cards and use mana to deploy cards. The combat experience feels great, with lots of small intricacies, like a mana pool that is capped but can "overflow", and our health that gets permanently reduced if we take enough damage. Another part I really enjoyed was the many different effects we can apply on enemies, like frozen, fire, poison etc., each of which triggers a unique action. Some cards even deal more damage if an enemy is impacted by one of these effects, creating some neat synergy opportunities. Meanwhile, the game attempts to avoid the repetitiveness haunting many other roguelikes through permanent-progress upgrades to our hero and town. Breach Wanderers monetizes through ads occasionally shown after fights and infrequent incentivized ads – both of which can be entirely removed through a single $2.99 iAP. Other iAPs allow you to unlock cards faster, but there's no need to buy these. Despite some small UI quirks, the game is very promising, and with an impressive lineup of new features planned for 2022, I think its gameplay could even jump from a score of 8 to 9 if things play out nicely. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here Cards of Terra [Total Game Size: 214 MB] (free)Genre: Card / Casual - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by AlexSem: Cards of Terra is a fantasy-themed solitaire-like card game in which we attempt to get rid of cards on the playing field by repeatedly dragging one card to another, causing them to engage in battle. A level features a grid of stacked cards, with the topmost cards turned face up. Each card represents a battle unit, with a color defining its faction and a numeric value indicating its strength and health. To clear the board, we must drag units of different factions on top of each other to have them fight and deal mutual damage based on their strength stat. When a card's health reaches zero, it is removed from the grid, and the next card in the stack gets revealed. Starting out easy and simple, the game quickly grows quite challenging. For example, most units have special effects that trigger based on certain conditions and then target themselves, allies, or enemies to deal damage, move cards around, or modify their strength and alignment. Most levels don't require clearing the entire playing field but simply revealing certain cards - so the key to victory lies in getting rid of specific cards while leaving the rest intact. Later, we also start receiving special power-ups that greatly aid us in dealing with various challenges, but since these have limited usage, they should be utilized with care. Cards of Terra monetizes through occasional ads shown between levels, but they appear very seldom, can be skipped, or even removed altogether with a single $2.99 iAP. After the short campaign is finished, there is still lots to do in the game's random levels, brain-scratching puzzles, and interesting draft mode where we use cards picked from a randomized pool. Fans of clever solitaire card games will definitely enjoy Cards of Terra. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here Through the Ages [Game Size: 160 MB] ($9.99)Genre: Board / Strategy - Offline + Online Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: Through The Ages is a complex but highly enjoyable board game where we build up our civilization from ancient times to the modern era. Our aim is to be the player with the most culture points by the end, and the game can be played with 2-4 players online, via offline pass-and-play, or against an AI with three levels of difficulty. Each round starts with an optional 'Politics' phase, where we can declare war, make treaties, or set up future events. Next is the 'Action' phase, where we improve our science, buildings, and military. We do all this by choosing from cards at the top of the screen and managing tokens that represent our workers and resources. Part of what makes the game exciting is that our type of government limits how many actions we can take each turn and that we have to carefully balance our resources so we don't limit our next turns. There's a tutorial with the game designer himself implemented as an in-game character, which is lengthy but good fun. Due to the complexity of the game, the tutorial is a must, so I'm glad effort went into making it a good experience. It takes a lot of patience to learn the rules, and mastering strategies that let us actually win a game takes even longer. After a few rounds, however, things start to make more sense. The fact that the game successfully recreates the experience of a Civilization-style videogame in a 40-minute card-based board game format is incredible. The app runs smoothly and even has a few quality-of-life features that make it easier to play digitally. Through The Ages is a $9.99 premium game with a $4.99 expansion DLC and it's almost guaranteed to impress anyone who loves strategy board games. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here ICEY [Game Size: 367 MB] ($2.99)Genre: Action / Fighting - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by AlexSem: ICEY is a fast-paced fighting action-platformer set in a futuristic sci-fi universe where we battle hordes of enemies while preparing to take down a mighty crime lord. In order to achieve our goal, we travel across atmospheric 2D side-scrolling maps to fight enemies by jumping, dodging, and using various attacks and combos to land spectacularly powerful moves. The money we get from defeating opponents lets us purchase upgrades that increase our stats, unlock new moves, or improve existing ones. Regardless of these upgrades, however, defeating the powerful intermediate bosses and the final boss at the end of the game requires training precise maneuvers and learning to dodge at just the right moments. The gameplay is not as simple as it might look, though, as fighting evil enemies is only a facade for what is happening behind the screen. Throughout the game, we're guided by a seemingly friendly 'Narrator' who constantly comments about the current situation of the in-game world and our actions in it. It's also this narrator that provides the arrows we must follow to progress the story. However, if we ignore his guidance and chose a path on our own, he becomes agitated, angry, and disappointed, which begs the question if we should really listen to anything he has to say. Exploring these hidden secrets and uncovering the actual truth is an essential part of the game. ICEY is a $2.99 premium game with no ads or additional iAPs. Despite its somewhat dull animations and poorly written plot, it provides a solid gameplay experience for anyone fond of fast-paced fighting action with rich visual effects. Check it out on Google Play: Here Check it out on MiniReview:: Here The Room [Game Size: 289 MB] ($0.99)Genre: Puzzle - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: The Room is a classic escape-room game with stunning graphics, an eerie atmosphere, and tricky logic-based puzzles. We play as an unknown character trapped in a house loft where we open intricate puzzle boxes that become progressively more complicated to solve with each chapter. Some of these boxes have contraptions inside of them that range from relatively straightforward cog-based mechanisms that we must figure out how to activate, to something much more complicated, such as a piano or even a mini film projector. The game perfectly suits touch controls and is highly tactile, making something as mundane as pushing and sliding various buttons and switches satisfying. The graphics only enhance this experience and have held up very well considering the game's age. There is an almost photorealistic feel to the boxes and a fantastic attention to detail, right down to the textures of wood and lighting. One of the game's most unique elements is a special lens we find early on that allows us to see writing and markings not visible with the naked eye, and even see through objects and surfaces to manipulate items in what seems to be a different dimension. Since this feature isn't overused, it retains its novelty throughout the game and adds a bit of extra to the puzzle solving. While the entire game is shrouded in mystery, we do occasionally discover enigmatic notes left by someone known as "AS" that hint at a plot going on in the background. Combined with the music, this evokes an intense atmosphere without distracting from the gameplay. The Room really sets the bar high for this genre - and arguably for mobile gaming as a whole. And as a $0.99 premium game, it provides a completely immersive experience with no ads or IAPs.

| My Top 3 Android Racing Games w/ Controller Support Posted: 11 Feb 2022 12:54 PM PST Hey, I've been an iPhone user ever since the iPhone 3G, but recently got an Odin Pro, so have been exploring the world of Android games... especially those that have native controller support. As I'm a huge racing fan, I've compiled my favorite 3 Android racing games w/ controller support. I'm curious if you agree with me or if you know of others I might enjoy! Let me know what you think of my choices! https://youtu.be/hqBi6tBnSu8 Also, if you have any recommendations of other landscape Android games with controller support, I'm all ears, because I'm curious about all the stuff I can run on this SnapDragon 845 handheld. :) [link] [comments] | ||
| A new James Bond narrative RPG is in development for the mobile platform (Job listing) Posted: 11 Feb 2022 09:01 AM PST The game is being developed by TiMi J2 studio (a Tencent Games studio) using Unreal Engine 4, it will be playable on mobile (and possibly on other platforms). The game will be an open-world composed of town ruins with a plot based off war events. The game will follow first and third person gameplay and will be very combat-oriented (strike feedback camera changes...). The development of the game has just started, it will surely not be released this year. It is important to note that Tencent has all the online rights to the entire James Bond IP, so it makes sense that they are planning to create a game out of it. Here is one of the job listing for this project (project name: "Well-Known IP action mobile game") : Job Title: "3A Game IP Mobile Game Plot Worldview Planning" (February 9, 2022)
Tencent is overwhelmed with games. Tencent Games is currently working on 7 major titles (famous & international IP) for mobile that will be released soon (such as Valorant and Apex Legends Mobile) and 6 others that are not yet officially announced. So that's 13 major games for mobile in development at Tencent Games, this is the result of massive partnerships (Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Riot Games, Remedy Entertainment...).

| Looking for some really good horror games Posted: 11 Feb 2022 12:08 PM PST Anything will do. I can't think of a good horror game. All horror games I see on play store recommendations are trash. I've played the Granny games, Distraint 1&2 and nothing else. [link] [comments] | ||
| What genres and game styles are BETTER on mobile than pc? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 10:59 AM PST So it's well known that many genres are better on pc. Many say this is because PCs are better built and can handle harder/more tasks, and hardcore gamers would use PCs. Also, the majority of mobile players want free games Though - surely there must be games well suited for mobile platforms? For example, games that have short playing sessions, are light and simple, cookie clickers etc. What genres/styles are well suited for the mobile platform? [link] [comments] | ||

| [REQUEST] Any PVE / PVP games similar to Spore (old PC game)? Posted: 10 Feb 2022 02:45 PM PST I used to love playing the game Spore on PC - It involves micro evolving an organism over time and getting to the point of using that character on different planets, universes etc. I found some games that can be purchased from the play store, but they all seem to be single player. Preferably has both gameplay against other players and ability to build alone. I don't mind pay to win to an extent. Anything similar you guys have played? Thanks for any suggestions!

| Posted: 11 Feb 2022 09:37 AM PST Hi I'm looking for a turn based game like "Fallout Shelter and Zero City:Survival" but in anime style, it doesn't need the survival aspect. I think I just want a base build kind of game with turn base combat in anime style. Sorry for the bad English. [link] [comments] | ||
| Find me a game (hard probably) Posted: 11 Feb 2022 08:32 AM PST Ok so I'm not even sure if this game existed on the Android platforms. Back in 2013 I owned a Nokia Lumia 710 so I had the Windows Play Store. When I couldnt download Clash of Clans the alike like all my other friends could, I found my own games lol The game had the word "dragon" in the title I'm pretty sure. It was an old school RPG Final Fantasy style if I recall. There was also online multiplayer and a guild system. Only part of it I remember is that a random player is the server would get tagged as a bounty. Then there was a 5min timer or so for the bountyed player and the rest of server can go try to capture them. Then you got rewards for surviving/capturing. The meta strat was to teleport in this big volcano area and tun to the end, then watch the map where other players are running at, and when they are close to you, you teleport somewhere else. Now this might be some popular game but I have not been able to find it ever again. Tried to find it from my old Nokia phone but I didn't have the app anymore and accessing the app store doesnt work Props to anyone who can find it, I got a ton of joy out of that game [link] [comments] | ||
| Can anyone explain to me how controllers work on phones? And do most games support it? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 08:24 AM PST Would love to get some suggestions for good affordable controllers as well. [link] [comments] | ||
| Something that i can play while i'm working? Posted: 11 Feb 2022 08:20 AM PST I work at home for a Call Center. I would like to play something to kill time, but it would be good if it has any sort of progression. Nothing that requires too much concentration to play because i'd like to not lose focus from the work, but something entertaining enough to not bore myself to death. Usually, i like any kind of game, but i especially love RPGs, Adventure games, and strategy games. Any recommendation of games with other genres will be appreciated. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
