For whatever reason, multiplayer puzzlers are big business. Seeing my friends playing Wordle every day (I still don't get the appeal) has been enough to tell me that. It's little surprise, then, that Words With Friends is celebrating a whopping 17 years since launch! And to celebrate, they've come up with an interesting new competition. The Become a Solo Star contest is, on the surface, pretty average for such a major milestone. Running until August 1st, it allows you to get turned into an in-game character. But more than that, you can also pitch your own word to be added to the in-game dictionary! ... [MORE]

Now, I'm not sure why so many games focus on siblings needing to rescue each other. If my sister and I had managed to lose the other inside a vortex to another world, we'd probably just have their share of the ice cream and call it a day. But Lost Twins 2 is for those of you with a more positive sibling relationship to call on. You play as Abi and/or Ben, a pair of siblings who've been lost across different, fantastical worlds and need to find their way back home. You'll control both at the same time, platforming around strange environments and solving puzzles to reunite the pair. ... [MORE]

There's a reason why, when you think 'barbarian', what comes to mind might not be a woad-painted Celt or Germanic tribesman, but a snarling, testosterone-fuelled man wielding a longsword and wearing a loincloth. Yes, Robert E. Howard's Conan has been the genre-defining example of a wild outsider in the realm of sword and sorcery. Not surprising then that UnGodly, the self-described grimdark fantasy RPG with more than a little of Frank Frazetta's artwork about its designs, is a natural fit for Conan. And thanks to a new partnership between the folks at Azra Games and Heroic Signatures to bring Conan the Barbarian to the world of UnGodly. ... [MORE]

Who could’ve guessed when The Walking Dead first started publishing all the way back in … that it would turn into a multimedia empire? And with that sort of popularity comes plenty of gaming spinoffs, especially on mobile. This time around, it’s Ares Interactive taking a shot at it with The Walking Dead: Aftermath. But for everything that TWD: Aftermath does that feels new, there are a dozen things that feel exactly like what we’ve seen before. So let’s get into the meat of it and tear it open like we’re a horde of zombies, shall we? ... [MORE]

While it may not be as massively popular on mobile here in the West as it is elsewhere, the Langrisser franchise is nonetheless a name with some pedigree that we've covered more than a few times. And its latest entry, Langrisser: Sea of Swords, has just been announced, with pre-registration now open! In Sea of Swords, you take on the role of the Nameless One, an amnesiac warrior accompanied by a mysterious white-haired girl and armed with a magical sword. Sea of Swords also pitches itself in contrast to more traditional fantasy adventures, with a focus on grand intrigue and conflicts between nations. ... [MORE]

If you saw this year's TennoCon, then you know we have so much to be excited about. Brysko, especially. But we are also one year on from Warframe's Android launch, one that has been fairly successful. I caught up with Drew Pennycook and Corey Van Den Hoogenband a year after our first discussion, to see how Warframe's mobile team have fared. Please could you introduce yourselves? ... [MORE]

With the introduction of a fan-favorite character, a host of new challenges, and a barrage of rewarding activities, there's a lot to dig into. Here we have unpacked everything the Bleach: Soul Resonance summer special has to offer. ... [MORE]

For life-sim fans looking to enjoy something a bit cuter, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, which is available on mobile exclusively via Apple Arcade, does just that with its cast of Sanrio mascots. Now, with the imminent arrival of this year's Friendship Festival event, the latest decor is, well, not the latest as it's actually quite retro! This time around, the latest batch of cosmetics is available from July 21st until August 17th and will focus on a '50s diner aesthetic. That means sock-hops, leather jackets, jukeboxes and other soda-shop decor that, while perhaps suffering from rose-tinted glasses, is sure to please any rockabilly fanatic. ... [MORE]

Back when the first teaser trailer for Digimon Up released, I dared to dream, and I wasn't alone. It said a lot of the right things by mentioning raising a partner Digimon and bolstering their stats with cards. We even saw them hatch from a Digi-Egg! To me, that seemed to suggest we were getting a V-pet, something many fans are clamouring for. Of course, you've read the title; that's not what we got.  To be somewhat fair to Bandai Namco, nothing in the initial trailer told us this wasn't going to be an idle RPG. Nor do I think the genre is inherently bad. There are plenty of great examples out there. It's just that this simply isn't one of them, missing the mark in pretty much every regard, making it hard to think of anything nice to say. Oh, the sprites look nice, I guess? ... [MORE]
