Faction Packed combines backpack-building and fantasy battles in one strategic package

Faction Packed combines backpack-building and fantasy battles in one strategic packageOccasionally, in the world of gaming, we get a genre name that sounds like some kind of weird joke about the variety of our humble platform. Backpack-building certainly sounds like one on the surface, but as anybody familiar with Backpack Battles can attest, it's a surprisingly engrossing genre. And it's one being used to its fullest in Faction Packed. This is an upcoming indie RPG from developer Kyoso Interactive that's set to launch in New Zealand this week, with a planned release worldwide release later on this month. Faction Packed sees you taking on the typical fantasy strategy battles, but with a backpack-building twist. ... [ MORE ]

Spirit King Quest to host new crossover event with Cats are the Masters of the World

Spirit King Quest to host new crossover event with Cats are the Masters of the WorldIf you're a frequent reader, then you may recall that one of the many new releases we've covered was Spirit King Quest a few weeks ago. And while it didn't thrill me, I admit that the latest collaboration they're set to host piqued my interest, if only because the other title involved is Cats are Masters of the World. Now, aside from the fact that cats really don't need the ego boost, this is exactly as you might expect a collab that sounds like this to be. CMW, as it's called by the developers, is an online animated series focusing on comical exploits of, well, cats. ... [ MORE ]

Acecraft set to make a return to US App Stores after unexpected maintenance absenceWhile we may think of mobile as interconnected, just like the internet, sometimes things can be different just a country over. Case in point: Acecraft and its sudden absence from US App Stores. A change that, fortunately, looks like it will be rectified later this month. In case you're not familiar already, Acecraft is a 30s rubberhose cartoon-style shoot-'em-up that sees you hop behind the controls of a plane flown by a cute mascot-type character. You blast your way through enemies while enjoying some engrossing Cuphead-style graphics. ... [ MORE ]

Attending the Pokémon Europe International Championships 2026

Attending the Pokémon Europe International Championships 2026It is not my first time attending Pokémon EUIC in London, as the massive event takes place each and every year. Last year, we sat down and interviewed one of the people playing in the Pokemon Go PVP tournament, which returned this year (along with their trading card tournament and their PVP in Scarlet / Violet). There's a huge main stage, mini-events to take part in, character meets, a giant carnival grounds, pin trading, and even the Pokémon Center at this event - it's a celebration of everything Pokémon - but I'm here to talk mobile.

Where Winds Meet set to unleash its new Hexi expansion with a whole new area next month

Where Winds Meet set to unleash its new Hexi expansion with a whole new area next monthWith its fast-paced Wuxia action and fantastical depiction of medieval China, Where Winds Meet has proved to be a big hit for NetEase since it hit mobile, console and PC. Now, the adventure is set to get even bigger with the introduction of the Hexi expansion arriving on March 6th! The trailer below shows plenty of action, drama and flashy visuals. But for Western fans, the name Hexi might not strike as much of a chord as it does with Chinese players. By all accounts, it seems the Hexi expansion will focus on a specific region of the same name called the Hexi Corridor, better known as part of the historic Silk Road. ... [ MORE ]

Gambiteers is Battleships with a little more depth, strategy, and a sprinkling of luck

Gambiteers is Battleships with a little more depth, strategy, and a sprinkling of luckA few weeks ago, Steel Media hosted PGC London, which is, for the most part, a B2B affair with folks spending a couple of days networking and attending talks. However, we tend to tag along just in case any developers want to chat with a B2C journalist. And I've seen some interesting stuff over the years, including Risho Games' Gambiteers. Pitched as a board game designed for mobile, it sees you going head-to-head with another player, trying to collect the most gems by the end of the round. Win three rounds, and the match is yours. The developer described it to me as turbocharged Battleships, and having spent some time with it, I can understand why. ... [ MORE ]
