Godus is a free-to-play mobile game about being a god and using your powers to shape the land and help the people. Although it is creative, it falls short on many other aspects. What Is Godus This mobile game caught my interest because of a game that I played on SNES called Actraiser. Godus, although I thought that it might be similar, was not at all. It was unique in its style, aesthetic, and controls. Throughout the game, you give commands to your followers and in return, they worship you, giving you things that can be used to level your powers up. …
Many hardcore gamers frown at the thought of playing mobile games but with the improvements in mobile devices, games like Archero may change a few minds. True, mobile games have gotten a bad rap because of simple games that are not a full sit-down experience, but sometimes simply don’t mean bad. Why It Is So Fun Archero is a free to play the game by developer, Habby. There really isn’t a story that I know of. You are basically an archer that goes to clear dungeons. Because it is free to play, the entry-level for it is very low. It isn’t very graphically…
Plarium’s RAID: Shadow Legends is a mostly single-player RPG that has a competitive aspect. If it sounds familiar, the game dropped on Android and iOS in 2019. In mobile gaming circles, this game is notorious for how aggressive the advertising is. Ads for RAID: Shadow Legends pop up in other games, on social media, and even YouTube. As a matter of fact, if a YouTuber runs ads in their content, it’s likely you could get some promote code from them as they will probably advertise the game. If not this one then Plarium’s other game Vikings gets advertising love. Anyway, I’d seen it promoted often, and eventually, I gave up and installed it for…
In this Mobile Gaming Review, we’re looking at another mobile MMA game. This time, it comes to us from the minds of E2P in the form of MMA Rivals. The Gameplay of MMA Rivals There really isn’t much to the gameplay—or much to do here. The little there is to do is extremely well done. E2P opted to go a 2D, card game-style approach to fights where you allocate points gained from fights towards different moves and strengths of five disciplines: karate, BJJ, boxing, judo, and wrestling. Your fighter becomes stronger and more skilled the more fights you win. Fights are…
On mobile, DreamotionInc has three titles—at least on the Play Store. The one that stands out to me is Ronin: The Last Samurai, an action slasher that requires timing and accuracy. If that sounds familiar, you could say that the developer took what worked for Sekiro, made it 2.5D, and for the mobile platform. Ronin: The Last Samurai There isn’t much to the game but the gameplay and upgrading gear with what you gain from battles. The story is explained in the chapter summary but once you select a chapter, you’re mainly slashing and blocking your way through swathes of enemies. Gear gained has different qualities and there’s also an awakening and fusing system. Basically, the fusing system…
So, I went pretty hard on Square Enix’s mobile approach only for the company to release Dragon Quest TACT in the West. DQ TACT takes the Dragon Quest Monsters franchise into new territory with a tactical RPG approach. Is it a formula that works for the Western market? A market that the DQ franchise has done decent-at-best in compared to Final Fantasy? Let’s take a look. Dragon Quest TACT Abridged If you’ve ever played tactical RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Disgaea, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor, or so on, then you know the gameplay here. You move your party of monsters on a grid-battlefield in combat against other monsters from the DQ franchise. Each…
Counter-Strike 2 also called CS2, is a popular multiplayer first-person shooter game that came out in 2012.

It now uses the Source 2 engine, and players are excited to try out its new features, such as the updated way you move. Movement is an important part of the game, and how well a player can do it can make the difference between winning and…
The collapse of FTX (short for “Futures Exchange”) has sent shockwaves through the esports industry, which relied heavily on the exchange for sponsorships and investments. Due to a lack of funding, many teams have had to cut back on spending, and it’s not clear how long this trend will last. The collapse of FTX has also led to a class action lawsuit against influencers who were paid to promote the exchange. The lawsuit says that the influencers didn’t tell their audience the whole story about what was going on. https://youtu.be/7JEZXypiKJk This lawsuit emphasizes the significance of transparency and authenticity in…

Valorant Deathmatch is a fast-paced game mode that pits players against each other in a free-for-all fight to the death.
