Aether Gazer is a well-polished gacha-styled action-rpg that you've probably seen before

If you couldn’t get enough of Honkai: Star Rail and found yourself thinking? Is there something similar that’s worth playing? Aether Gazer could be the game for you. Like Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves, it’s an Action RPG with gacha elements. You can expect to level and collect different characters, get daily rewards for playing, and get new combat abilities that show off the game’s dynamic visuals. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, you’ll be left wanting. Nothing here hasn’t been done in the genre and the overall sci-fi narrative that initially showed promise was generic and confusing. However, if you don’t care about any of that and are just looking for something that looks great and allows you to hack-n-slash and collect heroes, you won’t be disappointed.

A mobile anime RPG without gacha? Ex Astris is a premium game with an addictive combat system

SHOULD I PLAY EX ASTRIS? If you have a phone powerful enough to run it, you should absolutely pick it up. Ex Astris is a brand-new mobile RPG from the creators of Arknights. It’s got everything you could want from an anime RPG—lovable characters, great combat, and a beautiful world—but there’s no gacha and no microtransactions. It’s refreshing to play a mobile title that’s not designed around monetization beyond the initial price to buy it, and if you’re into these kinds of games, it’s definitely worth paying for.

Build your kingdom with titans and waifus in Grand Cross: Age of Titans

When was the last time you got sucked into your phone and entered a land of hot waifu and husbando anime characters? If this premise interests you, Grand Cross: Age of Titans, Netmarble’s latest RTS release, might be the game for you. Grand Cross: Age of Titans did a great job creating a colorful world with fully-voiced characters and an interesting, if not cliched, narrative that effectively held my attention for the first few hours of playing.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Online | Android ( Only Japan )

Known in the West as Yakuza Online, it is a title developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (an internal division of Sega), supervised by Masayoshi Yokoyama, and directed by Akio Horii for iOS, Android, and PC. The subtitle visible in the image, "黄龍放浪記" (Kōryū Hōrōki), refers to the second part of the main story, which focuses on the character Ryuji Goda. 1) 📝 STORYLINE: The plot of Ryu Ga Gotoku Online introduces a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, a former yakuza member with a strong sense of honor and a larger-than-life personality. After being betrayed and serving a long prison sentence, Ichiban returns to society to find a completely changed world and a fragmented yakuza organization.  The story unfolds through criminal intrigue, fragile alliances, and power struggles, maintaining the classic narrative style of the Yakuza series: intense drama, humorous moments, and deep characters. Meanwhile, the second part of the storyline (Kōryū Hōrōki) brings Ryuji Goda to the forefront, offering an alternative perspective and expanding the narrative universe with events and backstories related to his past and ambitions. The game thus expands the saga's lore, connecting to the main events of the series and introducing new protagonists and antagonists.

Hellguard | Android

It's a dark fantasy action dungeon crawler MMORPG developed by Black Anvil Studio, now in open beta/pre-registration in select regions. It aims to offer an intense, manual, and tactical action RPG experience on smartphones, with no autoplay, skill-based combat, and co-op and PvP modes. It eliminates autoplay: every attack, dodge, and ability must be performed by the player, emphasizing reflexes, timing, and build strategy. The world is shrouded in ever-deepening darkness: ancient seals that kept demonic forces at bay are breaking, and hellish creatures are emerging from forgotten realms. This chaos overwhelms villages, forests, and medieval ruins, and human civilization is on the verge of collapse. We begin in a dark village where a secret order of guardians—the Hell Guardians—resists the growing threat. You are one of the “wanderers,” warriors bound to this order, each with a personal story, unique abilities, and a past steeped in mystery.  As you progress, you discover ancient artifacts, uncovering the connection between this order and the source of the Corruption consuming the world. Narrative quests take you through dark and disturbing environments, revealing piece by piece the truth behind the falling barriers between the realms of the living and the demons. In this fight for survival, the fate of humanity may depend on your decisions and your willingness to face the darkness. There are multiple playable characters, each with different fighting styles, talents, and skill trees. You can upgrade them, combine equipment, and tailor your warrior to your preferred strategy. You can tackle dungeons with friends in co-op mode, participate in PvE raids against massive bosses, or challenge other players in PvP arenas to test your build and skills. Furthermore, the environments, enemies, and challenges are procedurally generated: each run offers a new experience, with different layouts, weather conditions, and random encounters. It promises to be a strong alternative in the mobile RPG scene for those looking for manual combat, deep progression, and an immersive dark narrative.  The decadent medieval atmosphere, cooperative gameplay, and variety of builds make it appealing to fans of the genre—especially if you appreciate a challenging, hands-on approach.

Crafting game lovers won’t want to miss this cozy RPG

WitchSpring R is a simple but addictive RPG that’s all about collecting items and crafting potions. It’s a remake of the first title in a popular series of mobile games, but it also has a lot in common with another game series: Atelier. I’m a huge Atelier fan, and WitchSpring R definitely captures the cozy slice-of-life qualities that makes those games great. The game revolves around Pieberry, an adorable witch who would like nothing more than to spend her days eating the best pie that the world has to offer. Unfortunately for her, WitchSpring R takes place in a world where magic users are being hunted down. This means she has to dodge attacks from enemy soldiers while she’s exploring or gathering ingredients.

WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

Crhunchyroll: Pepper Grinder | Android

It's a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital. It's a high-speed 2D action-platformer where the centerpiece of the experience is... a "Grinder" drill—and it's not just a weapon, but a true multi-purpose tool! The protagonist is Pepper, a young and determined treasure hunter who is shipwrecked on a mysterious island after losing all her loot. On the island, a band of bizarre enemies called Narlings steals what remains, including her precious mechanical drill called the "Grinder." Determined to get back what's hers, Pepper manages to recover the Grinder and begins her adventure through increasingly varied and dangerous environments. From sandy beaches to underground caves, industrial structures, and surreal landscapes, Pepper faces hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, each with unique mechanics. The narrative is simple but effective: there are no long dialogues, but rather a story told through fluid animations and dynamic cutscenes.  Pepper's journey is a constant race for revenge, in a colorful yet hostile world, where each level represents a new step towards the final showdown. The drill allows Pepper to dig into the ground and "swim" underground, launch himself into the air at high speed, attach himself to mechanisms and activate platforms, and create incredibly fluid movement combos. The control system is surprisingly responsive, especially on high-performance devices. The gameplay is based on rhythm and precision: the more you master the drill, the more spectacular the experience becomes. The enemies are varied and well-characterized. Some require timing, others strategy. The boss fights are one of the game's highlights: dynamic, intense, and often divided into multiple phases, the levels are full of secrets, alternative routes, and collectibles. In short, it encourages replayability thanks to timed challenges, hidden object collection, and routes optimized for speedrunning. Its detailed pixel art style and fluid animations make the title visually captivating. The music is energetic and perfectly complements the frenetic action.  It's not a casual game: it requires precision, reflexes, and a little practice, but it's incredibly rewarding.

Ugly | Android

It is a 2D puzzle platformer with "mirror mechanics", with the protagonist having the ability to create a dark reflection of himself, splitting the screen in two, with which he can swap places and solve puzzles and make his way through this evil place full of secrets and flooded with tragedy. His main ability is to exploit the shadow reflected by a shard of a mirror and move it to solve puzzles. It will take logic and skill to survive this dangerous journey of self-reflection. It is basically a dark and twisted fairy tale that explores the desolate recesses of the tormented mind, darkened by the past that spills into the present! The protagonist of this aberrant story is the one who as a child was bullied because he was different due to his aesthetic appearance. Despite his noble title he often wakes up in the middle of the night tormented by events of the past, in which his figure was quite "unwelcome" to most due to his slightly strange and ugly face!  To overcome this childhood trauma he often ends up getting drunk with an impressive amount of alcohol. He constantly relives, through various flashbacks, unpleasant moments from his past and to extricate himself from the dark meshes of what happened after his conception, because of a face that did not fit the one chosen by society, which wants us all beautiful and handsome, his narcissistic wound will have the flavor of social redemption, although everything that afflicts them is impossible to erase. Meanwhile in his desolate and immense palace there are several doors that allow you to unlock new portions of the map, thanks to drawings from the past that he will have to collect and... after obtaining one of the many children's illustrations, he will offer a portion of a specific moment in which he experienced discomfort; in this way it is possible to unravel the plot, assembling them all to better understand what pushed him to distance himself from society. At the end of each chapter there are boss fights that we will have to face with the ability of reflection!  Some bosses stand out for their mechanics and aesthetics, others for their genius and peculiar characteristics! Solving certain intricate puzzles through logic is really fun, especially when you sharpen your skills and start getting serious (after about an hour). It is truly surprising how the Spanish development team managed to tell a story without using dialogues or voices, especially when the protagonist tries with all his strength to juggle reality, believing he is inside a mirror and sees his own reflection with a wrinkled and sad face. The title itself advises us at the beginning of the game to take breaks between the various chapters, so as to better assimilate the plot and not be shocked by so much crudeness in telling existential facts; it is fun but also cruel in telling a paradoxical and unique story. The mirror often reveals everything, but be careful... sometimes, the truth is hard to digest.

Yes, The Legend of Nayuta still looks like a PSP game, but it's definitely worth checking out

SHOULD I PLAY THE LEGEND OF NAYUTA: BOUNDLESS TRAILS? Play it if you’re a fan of Falcom games or old-school JRPGs. The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails was originally released for the PlayStation Portable, so it’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s still very fun. There’s a great mix of action combat, platforming, and slice-of-life gameplay here, along with a charming story. It never reaches the highs of other Falcom series, like the
