Shiren: Serpentcoil Island brings roguelike JRPG action to the palm of your hand as it hits mobile

Shiren: Serpentcoil Island brings roguelike JRPG action to the palm of your hand as it hits mobileWhile Spike Chunsoft is perhaps best-known by fans as the publisher of the hit Danganronpa series of murder mystery visual novels, they've got plenty of other names under their belt. Case in point, the Shiren series, which makes its grand return to mobile with Shiren: Serpentcoil Island! Available to purchase (though not seemingly free-to-try, sadly) on iOS and Android, Shiren: Serpentcoil Island offers the familiar roguelike JRPG action the series is known for. For those new to the series, Shiren is a spinoff of the Mystery Dungeon franchise and is known for its challenge and dense amount of content. ... [ MORE ]

Townsfolk brings on the heavies with the arrival of cavalry and bonus islands

Townsfolk brings on the heavies with the arrival of cavalry and bonus islandsFor Short Circuit Studios, it appears they've found something of a new passion project to focus on. While in the past they've been known for their quirky indie games such as Teeny Tiny Trains or Teeny Tiny Towns, their new focus is on the arcade-style 4X strategy TownsFolk, and now they're bringing in the big guns with their latest major update! Or big hooves, in this case, as Townsfolk's latest major addition adds the long-awaited and oddly absent-till-now cavalry to Townsfolk. By building stables on the necessary resource, you'll be able to recruit new, distinctive cavalry units for every faction that make use of their enhanced mobility and tactical flexibility to dominate the map. ...

King's Gambit puts you in the shoes of a lone piece against the horde in this chess-themed roguelike

King's Gambit puts you in the shoes of a lone piece against the horde in this chess-themed roguelikeFor whatever reason, it feels as if the chess genre has had a bit of a resurgence on mobile recently. Well, I say the chess genre, but if there's anything that stuff such as Shotgun King has been doing, it's been playing with the traditional pastime in new and interesting ways! Cue the debut of King's Gambit at the recent Chess.com Speed Chess Championship, which is now available on iOS and Android. In King's Gambit, you take on the role of the (arguably) weakest piece, the titular King, in a nightmare scenario, trying to avoid capture as the final survivor on the board. ... [ MORE ]

Dave the Diver makes its mobile debut with its Chinese release ahead of global launch

Dave the Diver makes its mobile debut with its Chinese release ahead of global launchOne of the more curious stories to cross my desk so far this year has been Dave the Diver's debut on mobile. This hotly anticipated new arrival is set to arrive on iOS and Android, and indeed already has in one market, as Dave the Diver releases in China! Yes, Chinese players will be the first in the world to get their hands on Mintrocket's iconic faux-indie hit. With over a million players having pre-ordered it on both mobile and PC, it also snatched the number one spot on popular storefront TapTap in terms of pre-registrations, too. ... [ MORE ]

Sengodai adds Storm Dragon god and boss rush modes in latest content update

Sengodai adds Storm Dragon god and boss rush modes in latest content updateSengodai has only been out for a short while, but it’s already picking up momentum. Today’s free content update adds a new god, two additional modes, and a small expansion to its card pool, giving you a few more reasons to dive back into its roguelike loop. The headline addition is Ishigon, Storm Dragon, a new god built around abilities Sengodai hasn’t played with before. If you’ve already settled into a comfortable rhythm with the existing pantheon, Ishigon looks designed to unsettle that. New gods in this kind of deckbuilder don’t just add a punch, they force you to rethink how your cards and elements. ... [ MORE ]

The KartRider Rush+ welcomes Pororo the Little Penguin for its next collaboration

The KartRider Rush+ welcomes Pororo the Little Penguin for its next collaborationKartRider Rush+ has built a habit of swerving into unexpected collaborations, and this one feels like it’s leaning fully into mischief. Nexon has teamed up with Pororo the Little Penguin, bringing the long-running animated favourite into KartRider Rush+ with a bunch of new racers, themed items, and unapologetically cute event rewards. At the centre of the update are the new racers themselves. Pororo joins the lineup alongside Petty and Harry, all translated neatly into KartRider’s exaggerated, toy-like proportions. They don’t feel bolted on either. These are characters designed around personality first, and watching them drift, boost, and collide their way through races fits the tone surprisingly well. ...

Edifier G1000 II review - "Great sound at a great price"

Edifier G1000 II review - "Great sound at a great price"Finding a compact pair of speakers that are good value and quality is often hard! Looking at a pair of speakers that also hook up via Bluetooth, so that you can use them with your mobile device, is another story altogether. And, these speakers are stunning. The Edifier G1000 II is a very futuristic pair of speakers, which feel ideal for those who are into gaming. Ilove the sort of rounded hexagon and the inner glow of the lights on them. It's just so much fun to see on your desk or around your house. There are nine different dynamic modes for lighting, so that the middle of the speaker can be customised to match your vibes or the vibes of what you are listening to. ... [ MORE ]

Heartopia shows off more of what to expect from their upcoming My Little Pony collaboration

Heartopia shows off more of what to expect from their upcoming My Little Pony collaborationCollaborations and crossovers have always been important in gaming. But I think Heartopia is one of the few new releases I've seen come out the gate swinging with one.

Set to start February 14th and run until March 15th, as we already know, Heartopia's My Little Pony collaboration will see the arrival of the Tree of Harmony from the series on Cloud Island.

Gunnar Barton glasses review - "Large Lenses for a Bold Look"

Gunnar Barton glasses review - "Large Lenses for a Bold Look"Gunnar has a bunch of different glasses, from those inspired by gaming franchises to those made for the office. They even have an entire line inspired by California's tech hub, in their Trace Collection. The Gunnar Barton is one within this tech hub collection, which feels perfect for those who are in the office or who don't want something overly gamer-looking. The Gunnar Barton glasses are on the larger side, great for those looking for a pair of glasses that really stand out. It comes in either a sleek, black colour or in a wood-grain effect that has tones of brown in it. The brown pair is quite interesting, with the flecks of colour throughout, but isn't made of wood and instead is made of premium acetate, which is more scratch-resistant than plastic. ... [ MORE ]
