A tower defense mobile gacha game, Arknights was first released in China in 2019, and recently had its global release in January. Set in a post-apocalyptic time on the planet Terra, players take up the role of a “Doctor,” recently recovered from a cryonic sleep. The Doctor then has to command a team of “Operators” from Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company that fights the deadly infection called “Oripathy.” Apart from trying to find a cure for Oripathy, Rhodes Island Operators are also seeking to defend themselves against the Reunion Movement, a military made up of the Infected who are bent on overthrowing Terra’s government.
Players can recruit Operators (characters) through a gacha system, and characters are also divided into eight classes. Aside from its extensive lore and challenging battles, players can also unlock a lot of features, such as other game modes, resources, build facilities, and more as they level up and progress through. One of the greatest things in Arknights is its Auto Mode function. Once a player completes a level with a three-star rating, the game records the player’s actions and replicates it using Auto Mode, allowing players to re-run a level without having to touch it at all. Arknights is available to play on both iOS and Android.
Texas Hold ’em Poker puts a spin to Monopoly bringing players Monopoly Poker. In this game, players can play three types of Texas Holdem, including Cash Games, Sit & Go tournaments, and a fast mode of Spin & Play rounds. Players can also earn a free stack of chips every four hours, join tournaments in the game, and also play against friends.
If you’re into puzzle games, then you might want to give Doors Awakening a try. In the game, players wake up from an accident and find themselves in a portal with a shadow of a boy. Throughout the game, players have to chase the boy who leaves letters behind him. The letters are a part of a story that players have to solve. Doors Awakening features two alternate endings, depending on the player’s choices.
Food Truck Pup is a cooking game that has adorable pixel-style graphics! In this game, players can choose from a variety of dogs such as a Shiba Inu, retriever, beagle, and more as their main character and help the pup run its crepe food truck business. As the game progresses, players can have more ingredients for their crepes, buy furniture to expand their business, acquire clothes to dress up the pup, hire part-timers, and even open a new food truck in a new area.
If you’re familiar with the tile-puzzle game 2048, then this one takes it up a notch. In Age of 2048, instead of numbers, players can merge similar building blocks to build civilizations. The game covers a variety of eras, such as the Stone Age, all the way to the Space Age. Additionally, players can also compete with others all over the world and aim for the highest score possible.
Tiny Room Stories is an escape room, puzzle-solving game that takes place in an abandoned city.
