Best new mobile games for the autumn

If you love playing games on your mobile devices, there are some great treats on their way this autumn. There’s everything from ninja ducks (seriously, there are), dismantled robot girlfriends, and a card game that will keep you entertained for ages. Let’s look at five of the best releases and cool apps.

Love You to Bits+

The moment you begin playing this game, you will be struck by its graphical beauty. ‘Love You to Bits+’ comes from Alike Studio and can be played on your iOS and an Apple Arcade subscription.

If you like your puzzles both witty and dark, this will appeal to you. Your task is not one that you will face in real life, though. You are dealing with a dismantled robot girlfriend who needs to be reassembled. Each level that you play will have some body parts hidden, the mind really does boggle, doesn’t it?

As you can imagine, this game has a huge science fiction side. All those body parts are scattered around the universe on different planets. You must direct the space traveller here, there and everywhere in his quest to put his robot girlfriend back together again. Good luck in that task; after all, he’s had a bit of a rough time of late.

Card Crawl Adventure

Now for a card game that is a little bit different from a visit to an online or land-based casino. Card Crawl Adventure sees you on a global journey playing card games in ‘cosy taverns.’ Whom are you playing against? Well, it’s often devious monsters, but treasure is to be won.

There’s a fair amount of magic involved in this game and lots of spells to get hold of. Card Crawl Adventure is a tactical card game that will appeal to fans of all card strategy games like Omaha poker.

You can play this game from Arnold Rauers on your iOS and Android devices. Previous successes such as Card Thief and Maze Machina have shown what great games they can produce. Just as when playing any card game, you really do need to have your thinking cap on. Otherwise mistakes will be made and your chances of success will swiftly diminish.

Into The Breach

Those aliens are at it again!  Earth seems to spend a lot of time in video games protecting itself from those wishing to conquer our planet. This Subset Games release can be played on your iOS and if you have Netflix, it’s included with your subscription. Well, it beats watching Stranger Things again.

You’re in charge of a team of three battle mechs. The future of our planet is in your hands so take your time to learn all the strategies that will boost your chances of success. This can be a rather complex game, so don’t expect instant success.

That’s part of the enjoyment of playing such games, though. Learn from your mistakes, improve your strategy and woe betide anyone thinking of conquering Earth.

Ninja Ducks Vs. Pirate Pigs

You get to meet all kinds of strange creatures when playing video games. Koko Digital have outdone themselves with this iOS & Android game. Why would a duck want to be a ninja? Then again, do pigs grow up dreaming of becoming pirates?

Perhaps they do; who are we to ask? It’s not been reported on the news, but for generations, these ducks and pigs have been rivals. The pigs are renowned troublemakers, ruthless and well, don’t even think about the smell. Meanwhile, the ducks are swift and always seem to have a cunning plan up their feathers.

There are plenty of battles ahead of you when playing this game. A fair few laughs, though; what else do you expect with Ninja Ducks Vs Pirate Pigs?

Railbound

Planning a rail journey and then undertaking it can be a stressful experience. You can have a more cheerful time playing this video game from Afterburn on your iOS and Android, and you can supply your own buffet.

It’s puzzle time again as you try to lay sections of track. Please note, this doesn’t just have to be done at weekends. The aim is to get the numbered train carriages going behind a locomotive and ensure they are in the right order.

This game has a great look, but be prepared for Railbound to become increasingly complex. Hard work is needed to achieve your aims, but this is far more enjoyable than standing up on a train for hours on end.
