Sengodai review - "Fantastic theming and aesthetics, but I wish it had a tad more depth"Japanese themes and roguelike card battlers are two of my favourite things, which is why when the opportunity to review Sengodai landed on my lap, I couldn't be more excited. It's got cursed lands, epic gods, and nasty little gokai presented in colourful card decks - it has, essentially, everything I could ever want in a handy mobile package. I was pretty sure it would deliver despite my very, very high expectations - but as you can probably tell from my less-than-5-star score, it didn't exactly fulfil my wildest dreams. ... [ MORE ]

Sliding Sonic Cable Guy Holdems Mini review - "Gotta Go Fast!"Cable Guys have holdems for basically any IP that you'd be interested in, with Sonic the Hedgehog being a new addition to their line up. This series has four characters, all from Sonic the Hedgehog, and we got our hands on the classic. Though he doesn't come wit a big gold ring to hold, you can place your earbuds or even your entire phone into the character's hands! I don't find that my larger phone fits well into the mini holdems, as they are often smaller and made for smaller devices, so pick earbuds in their little carrying case. ... [ MORE ]

Besiege review - "Building battering rams for a better tomorrow!"Whenever it comes to battle scenes in medieval films, chances are there's going to be a siege of some place, usually a castle. Now, while siege technology wasn't the most complex or fancy, it got the job done, and sometimes all you need is a big log with enough force to open a door. But here's the thing about wood: It's dynamic. There are so many ways you could arrange wood to make all kinds of destructive devices, and now's your chance. With the combined efforts of Spiderling Studios and Playdigious, you can become the wood engineer of the century in Besige. You've got a 3D construction tool to help you lay waste to various structures, so let's see how it works out. ... [ MORE ]

Maono PD200W microphone review - "A versatile all-rounder with an attractive price tag"It seems that nowadays everyone has a podcast. I mean, I can’t talk, given that we host the Pocket Gamer Podcast right here on the site. But if you want to get into recording yourself, where do you start? Trick question, because a good audio setup is essential. No one wants to listen to something that sounds like it was recorded via copper wire. With that in mind, one of the more recent opportunities to cross our desks was the Maono PD200W. Billed as a microphone for mobile podcasts, it can also do more than that. So I was curious to find how it would work for someone who does have to podcast for work, but would be using it for recreation too. ... [ MORE ]

Islanders: Mobile review - " A satisfying low-key strategy experience"Indie city manager Islanders has officially launched on mobile. Like the PC version, in Islanders: Mobile, you’ll build civilisations on a plethora of vibrant isles, all without the restraints of typical resource management. Enjoy a calming musical score that enhances the Zen-like experience as you carefully craft your island paradise. It’s a cosy strategy experience meant to be relaxing rather than mentally taxing, and boy, does it deliver on that front. ... [ MORE ]

Tessan Voyager 205 travel adapter review - "Universal all-in-one charging - if you can get the outlet to fit"I'm not the most globetrotting gal in the world, but I do like to lug around my gaming paraphernalia to the detriment of my aching shoulders (and my always-heavy, always-full bag). It doesn't help that every new thingamajig nowadays has to have its own set of cables and chargers, so when something comes along and boasts 2-in-1, 3-in-1, and 4-in-1 utility, my interest is always piqued. The Tessan Voyager 205 travel adapter seems to want to challenge all other x-in-1s by slamming its very own 8-in-1 charger on the table like a gauntlet - and it really can, given just how solid and hefty this thing is. ...

X Rocker Sparta RGB gaming chair review - "A comfy chair that also has lights... yay?"Not to blow open a massive, long-standing conspiracy or anything, but everyone at Pocket Gamer works from home. When Iwan (as he likes to do) mentions PG Towers, he's very much referring to a virtual structure where the lobby, water cooler, and break room with an unshiftable smell of coffee are all on Slack. And while I'm giving away deeply confidential company secrets, we don't all work in the same country either. I know, it's shocking, but that's the modern world. Working remotely is a big thing nowadays, and for introverts like me, it's wonderful. However, there is one conundrum that every home worker faces. The chair. ... [ MORE ]

Soul Hunter review - "Idle action with lots of places to explore"Soul Hunter is a roguelite RPG, where you can hack and slash your way through enemies, going deeper and deeper into the unknown. There are boss fights, souls to gather, upgrades, items to loot, and a lot of exploring. Soul Hunter is a clicker-style game, where you tap to explore and go deeper into the world. Each time you explore, something happens. Often, it's a small bit of text that tells you about damage you might have had, some items that might have been looted, or something that you might have discovered - but sometimes, it's an ambush! ...

Gunnar Borderlands 4 Moxxi Glasses review - "Cyberpunk fun"Gunnar is known for their fantastic, high-quality blue light glasses, which are aimed at enabling you to play for longer. Lights from mobile screens (and, well, any screen) can cause eye strain, which can in turn cause headaches. Gunnar has a large range of glasses that cover a bunch of styles from office-ready wear to ones inspired by video games. I personally feel their Gunnar Borderlands 4 Moxxi glasses are the most stylish I have seen from them. ... [ MORE ]
