If ever there was an entertainment property ripe to be transformed into a Game of War-style mobile multiplayer strategy game, it's Game of Thrones. It looks like Warner Bros. and Turbine have finally gathered enough clip art to make Game of Thrones: Conquest happen. In testing in select markets and now accepting pre-registration at its official website, Game of Thrones: Conquest is another one of those games in which players build and upgrade castles, recruit troops and band together to be better than the other people who've banded together. What differentiates it from other games in the genre is that the characters who guide you through the process are from Game of Thrones instead of, say, Final Fantasy 15. It opens with a splash screen featuring some dated artwork of two of the show's most popular characters. And from there we launch into an endless cycle of harvesting resources to craft buildings and recruit troops in order to gather more resources to cra...

Gumi Inc, a Japanese developer and publisher of mobile games including Chain Chronicle and Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius, revealed today an English trailer for their upcoming mobile strategy RPG The Alchemist Code. The game will be launching in English globally on both Android and iOS devices later this year and is based on "From Whom The Alchemist Exists" one of the most popular mobile games in Japan. From what the trailer reveals, The Alchemist Code looks to be similar to Final Fantasy Tactics like game with recruitable characters (presumably through a Gatcha system). Personally, I kind of like what I see and suspect the game will do well. A mobile Final Fantasy tactics like game with some multiplayer elements could be a big hit. Especially since the game has excellent production value (anime cutscenes, voice acting, 3D battles, etc). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscr...

AMC and Finnish developer Next Games have announced they are releasing a new location-based augmented reality mobile game, The Walking Dead: Our World, based on the hit AMC TV show.

I know that a lot of our readers are looking forward to getting their hands on Terra Battle 2and Terra Wars, the upcoming games from Final Fantasy creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, so I'm sure you will enjoy the new trailers that show off the characters you'll encounter or play as in both games. The Terra Battle 2 one shows off characters like Kit, Kukurakan, Piz'Fa, and many others, and I really like the art in the trailer. The Terra Wars one is probably going to give you a headache because of how it's edited, but if you manage to make it through, you'll see the claymation models the game will be using, and they look quite cool. I'm glad to see that the games are using two distinct art styles, and I'm always a sucker for claymation no matter the content. Terra Battle 2 is the sequel to the social RPG Terra Battle, which was quite successful and fun to play. Terra Wars will offer a whole new world and story and re-designed gameplay, so expect the two u...

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...
