Mobile Gaming

We've long suspected that mobile games are thinly veiled gambling apps and this week Nexonpresented another piece of evidence to that effect. Teaming up with Finnish mobiles studio Grand Cru, Nexon has just released a blackjack inspired mobile RPG called Battlejack. You read that right, a RPG based on the casino game Blackjack. Based on the trailer, Battlejack seems to borrow heavily from Japanese connect 3 RPGs like Puzzle & Dragon. Players progress through stages by playing cards that power up collectible heroes. The game promises a story driven main quest with over 100 levels. The core gameplay loop should sound familiar. Players unlock new, random heroes and upgrade/fuse them for stronger and stronger characters. The cartoon art style is inviting, and its obviously not anime themed which is a welcomed change of pace in this genre. With that said, without the anime waifu collecting element, I don't know if there will be an audience for this game. The bizarre them...

We've seen a bunch of casual role-playing games, most of which tell nothing other than that the protagonist starts an adventure and meets a bunch of enemies. Players' mission is simple too, that is to destroy all the enemies in the way and become a hero from nobody. How to make the game stand out among others of its kind, draw players' attention and be liked by them, is a trial for every developer. A spell casting fantasy battler called Swipe Casters is coming to meet mobile gamers on August 30th. Swipe Casters is made by developer Ogre Pixel, who has created the fantastic castle defense/shooter Warcher Defenders and the top-down dungeon adventure Black Tower Enigma . All the three games adopt the same retro pixel art while are completely different in gameplay. When a player meets an enemy, the player needs to use the finger to draw a specific gesture by connecting dots on the screen, and powerful spells will be cast against nasty creatures. The time for players to dr...
