AutoChess is on Android, which is pretty fun.
I like the idea of it. Will certainly check it out when it comes to iOS
My friend:
Now, there are IAPs which I know is off-putting, but Iām not sure what they do. From what Iāve been able to tell so far thereās nothing about the core gameplay loop that you could possibly spend money on. Itās all cosmetic stuff at the moment - Profile Avatars, Chess Masters, Game Boardsā¦ because things play out automatically without participation, each player can be looking at the same match with different window dressings around them.
Whether it remains that way weāll see but so far the spirit of the mod is alive and worth checking out if you havenāt already. Just beware a match can take like 30-40 mins, so you have to make sure you have the time.
Is this the real version, or a knockoff? I assumed the latter.
Itās the real version - it has to be completely devoid of DOTA 2 IP or they could be sued, but the group that made the mod is called āDrodoā and theyāre credited on this app. Dragonest is the publisher theyāve signed with.

Somehow I missed the news about the least likely game I could have imagined:
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics
Apparently it is a strategy RPG in the same vein as Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea complete with jobs and gear and al the good things we expect from the genre. And it is set in Jim Hensonās Dark Crystal world. What?
Anyways, color me excited. I know it is coming to Switch and PC, but not sure what else.

PS4 and XB1 as well as it seems.
Despite being a sRPG Otaku I give this game a hard pass. Art-Style and Source material is so NOT my cup of tea that even a good gameplay loop/system is not gonna salvage this for meā¦that and the impeding colapse of Mount Backlog 
I like the art style. It reminds me of Septerra Core and maybe some other similarly-aged games. Iāll be picking it up for my girlfriendās Switch provided it doesnāt review poorly.

And here I thought I was the only person who played Septerra Core. I loved that game.

Played but did not finish. Got it on GOG a while back, but Iāll likely never revisit it. It was pretty novel, setting-wise. Donāt recall why I never finished it (also never finished Dark Earth, which was similarly novel).
DOTA Underlords just launched on mobile, which seems to be Valveās version of a third party mod of one of their games.
Iāll probably give this one a try at least.

TouchArcade is reporting that there is a sequel to Meteorfall on its way called Meteorfall: Krumitās Tale. Apparently, it will have many of the same characters we already know but will have a a deeper hand management system.
Personally, I like the idea of card-based roguelikes but I also feel like we are over-saturated with them. Iām always happy to give a quality developer a chance, but I hope this one differentiates itself in some way from all the similar games currently on the market.

And that reminds me to poke Eric on reddit to see if thereās gonna be a pre-release beta for that one, since Journeyās did.
Early access on Steam with mobile to follow according to what theyāve tweeted.
Did anyone here know that Le Havre updated a month ago and added the expansion? I thought I remembered Codito closing up shop more or less a number of years ago, but they seem tI be actively supporting the games theyāve already made. Or am I completely wrong about them?
