Mass Effect Galaxy

Released alongside Mass Effect 2 and designed as a prelude to that larger title’s campaign, Mass Effect Galaxy is an example of early iStore games being used as promotions. Focusing on Jacob Taylor, one of the new characters the popular sequel would introduce, it tells a self-contained mini-adventure.

Mass Effect

Originally launching onto the XBox 360 all the way back in 2007, Mass Effect has come to be known as the final word on science fiction role playing. Ported to Windows and later to Playstation Network for the PS3 before the release of the Legendary Edition in 2021, it kick-started a series that’s decidedly more than the single trilogy of games many fans focus on.

Knight Hood

Knight Hood has been out on the mobile scene for some time now, with little sign of slowing down. A turn based, combat heavy title, it manages to do something relatively new whilst simultaneously being about as conventional an RPG as there ever was under its surface.

Momento Mori

Momento Mori dropped onto mobile stores this month and has made a huge push on quality audio and visual presentation, but is this harem flavoured title from Bank of Innovation making any innovative strides in terms of gameplay?

Voice of Cards: the Beasts of Burden

Just when we start to crave a new instalment in the hugely enjoyable Voice of Cards series, Square Enix drop another surprise announcement and provide us with another helping of card-crawling JRPG goodness. MBU couldn’t be more pleased!

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden

Not so long after we’d speculated that the game systems seen in the original title ‘Voice of Cards: the Isle Dragon Roars’ would make for a great framework for future campaigns, along comes Square Enix and Yoko Taro with a follow up that does exactly that.

Champions of Avan

Mobile games tend to generate a lot of dislike, and of those Idle games seem to be the most universally despised by those who consider themselves hardcore gamers. But they have their place. We all love to dive into a deep and rich narrative and engage with every system a game has to offer, but we also have to work, and sometimes having a game run beside us while we do so is just what we need to break the monotony. Champions of Avan has taken some slack for not being the same kind of RPG as the last title produced by Early Morning Studio, but it produces a very cathartic experience dripping with a sense of character.

Super Auto Pets

Super Auto Pets is the first game out of independent studio Team Wood Games, and is available both as a free browser title as well as a mobile app for Android and (soon at the time of writing) iOS. At the easy-going cost of FREE (click here to play now), and with a lightning fast pace, it’s certainly a game worth checking out.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

After ‘Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories’ established the concept that there could be installments into the series around the main entries, and that appearances on handhelds were going to be equally plot-relevant to their main-line kin, Square Enix upped the game by taking advantage of the then-new Sony PlayStation Portable device.

Valkyria Chronicles II

After the triumphant arrival of Valkyria Chronicles onto PlayStation 3, fans of the IP were a little surprised to see the second main-line entry into the series released onto the company’s handheld, the PSP. Even more so to see the war-torn series now focus its attention on a military academy setting.
