Yeah that doesn't look bad at all. There seems to be a timing element, and swing direction seems to have different effects. Hopefully it fleshes out more as you progress.

Old School RuneScape is out in early access on the Play store.

Edit: and you can't play it without a paid subscription. Welp.

My sole interaction with Runescape was playing for 5 minutes like 10-15 years ago, and some guy giving me a bunch of hats just outside where you first spawn. I quit a minute later. Hope those hats weren't worth anything.

A while back, people were recommending Chimera Recollect and I've enjoyed it a lot. For the ones who've played it, does anyone know how you get the first (most top-left) rare animal part? I assume they'd be Small Animal R, but I haven't been able to find it.

Anyone playing Legend of Solgard? Came out two or so days ago, it's by the candy crush people, it's an interesting sorta lane puzzle rpg thing. I started playing it around 30 min and it seems relatively interesting (and the art looks great on s9+). Not sure if there is a 1-time payment option to remove freemium stuff but I haven't been playing long enough to hit any walls.

Is it a gameplay like Might and Magic : Clash of Heroes ?

I've never played that but a quick google image shows that it's at least very similar.

This has been recommended a lot in general, but Solitairica. I was skeptical at first, but it's actually great. Solitaire works really well as a core mechanic, but the different combinations of spells/items class by class make them feel genuinely different and add a lot on to that base. There's way more depth than I initially thought, and it's fun to figure out and execute new strategies for each class as you unlock them. I also can definitely tell I'm getting better at it, which is satisfying.

Polytopia is a civ-lite that also plays as a kind of puzzler in the score mode, 80 Days (paid) is imo the best CYOA on the platform (maybe one of the Sorcery titles?), Pocket City is a solid city builder although you have to get the difficulty right or it gets boring.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything in this post, but especially Solitairica.

I have been playing for a few days. It's pretty much Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes like SpaceGoatFarts said. It has some lootbox type stuff to level up and obtain new unit (via tokens). I haven't hit a wall either but I'm only level 6 or something. It's pretty fun and the art is pretty fun to look at.

Check out Dungeon Maker. It's split up into lots of little manageable chunks so if you have to close it quickly you're losing out on like a minute of gameplay, tops.

Assuming you're okay being seen playing that in public, it's a great little game for 3 bux.

Don't lose your head over it.
Nintendo announced Dragalia Lost will release on September 27 simultaneously in the US and Japan. This is Nintendo's mobile action-RPG co-developed with Cygames (Granblue Fantasy, Shadowverse, etc) so it should have pretty high production values. There is a stream tomorrow with more information.

Looking forward to the Cygames one although I don't like the 3D chibi art style at all.

Also, for the starving gacha afficionados: There's currently a closed beta running for Tales of Erin (https://talesoferin.efun.com/ APK on the left side, Android only). I'm checking it out right now, found nothing special yet but pretty enough to keep me going for now.

Talisman is one of my favorite board games because of how little impact you actually have on anything. What little you do is strictly to dick someone else over. It's Crab Mentality the game.

Just out of curiosity, how long did this take you?

Or, for clarity, how long have you had Solitairica, and how often do you play?

I had it installed for over a year, but took a huge break from it after completing everything on normal. I took me about two months playing mostly when flying and on the train, which happens often for me, so I'd say epic took something like 25-35 hours altogether. Normal probably took slightly longer than that.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but I've been playing a bit of Card Thief, still early in the game for me but it's a pretty fun solitaire puzzle game I think.

I'm also trying it right now. So far my impression is that progression is kind of slow in it, and all play session were very similar, but maybe it gets more fun once you unlock more stuff.

Higher castles also get a lot of new mechanics and get pretty hard, plus there are the daily puzzles. It is totally a game designed for playing here and there rather than sitting down to try and progress. It is another game that never leaves my phone.

This is by the same person who made Miracle Merchant. He has some other games too, and it's interesting to try a couple of them side-by-side since they all have some similar ideas in terms of game mechanics, but the way they are implemented makes them work very differently in each game.

Solitairica seems fun so far, I'm digging it. Is there any trap to unlocking the full game or the 4 new decks? Are they something you can work towards on your own, or are they gated behind :fivecbux:?

5 bux. Basically you're buying the ability to unlock them with wildstone.

I'm looking for something slow or preferably turn-based, maybe a tactics game of some sort, playable on a normal sized phone.

Hoplite, PaD and Guild of Dungeoneering were all good but I'm burned out on them.

Gatcha games are fine but only if the core gameplay is actually good, it's reasonable to get anywhere without paying and the bullshit energy mechanic is generous enough to not matter, like it is in PaD p much.

Solitairica is nice but I might want to supplement it with a more RPG-esque game. Hell I'm even considering the Knights of Pen & Paper games, which I already have, but never put much time into.

If it weren't for the online aspect, I'd probably be gravitating more for FE: Heroes for work.

If you want something with more substance, but still relatively casual, try Ticket to Earth.
