Overview & Key Takeaways

It can be tough to make an impact on mobile nowadays. And that's just if you have the backing of AAA developers and publishers. For indies, the field can feel even narrower. But for the upcoming debut, Battle Waves, the voyage has been a little smoother, as they celebrate over 20,000 pre-registrations! Set to release on May 29th, Battle Waves sees you taking control of a horde of adorably grotesque monsters charging down separate lanes against the enemy. Using your deckbuilding skills, you'll need to construct a winning formula to take out the enemy commander in this real-time battler. ... [MORE]

  • Upcoming deck-building RTS Battle Waves has passed 20,000 pre-registrations
  • Gabriel's Games' debut title is set to launch at the end of the month
  • It will boast a large roster of factions and focus heavily on mixing and matching factions

It can be tough to make an impact on mobile nowadays. And that's just if you have the backing of AAA developers and publishers. For indies, the field can feel even narrower. But for the upcoming debut, Battle Waves, the voyage has been a little smoother, as they celebrate over 20,000 pre-registrations!

Set to release on May 29th, Battle Waves sees you taking control of a horde of adorably grotesque monsters charging down separate lanes against the enemy. Using your deckbuilding skills, you'll need to construct a winning formula to take out the enemy commander in this real-time battler.

To celebrate, Gabriel's Games has launched their latest trailer, giving prospective players a glance at what Battle Waves has to offer. It showcases both the same adorable graphics and surprisingly deep gameplay options being made available for you to construct your winning hand from.

Cards on the table

In particular, Battle Waves will feature a roster of a whopping 32 factions at launch, all with their own distinctive cards and gameplay effects. Now, this becomes a lot more reasonable when you consider each deck is made by combining six of these, so a smaller selection of cards from each faction makes sense.

But it is indicative of the fact that Battle Waves' cute art style is not intended to cover up for shallow gameplay.  And with both a full campaign (including New Game+) as well as ranked PvP multiplayer, if Battle Waves can deliver on that strategic depth, then Gabriel's Games may be onto a winner here.

Still, there's plenty of competition they'll need to measure up to. And if you want to put your deck-building skills to the test ahead of launch, you'll want to check out our list of the best card battlers on iOS for some of our top picks.

Game of Thrones: Dragonfire ties into season three finale with limited-time event

After the disastrous reception of the Game of Thrones finale way back in 2019, it seemed as if the franchise was done on television.

And if you've been following House of the Dragon, you can now enjoy a limited-time event, available until August 24th, set to tie into the season three finale of the show.

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard📱 Mobile

Lil' Guardsman is a Papers Please-style deduction adventure with you as an unlikely town guard

While Papers, Please invoked a really grim and dystopian style of gaming, for better or for worse, many other developers have taken a slightly lighter view on the subject. Case in point: the upcoming deductive sim Lil' Guardsman, which is set to release on iOS and Android this winter, puts you in the shoes of the bane of all adventurers. In Lil' Guardsman, you play as the twelve-year-old Lil, tasked with covering your father's shift as, unsurprisingly, a guardsman at the gate of a city called the Sprawl. You'll need to interrogate various visitors, ranging from wizards to cyclopes, and decide whether to let them in, jail them or deal with them in some other way. ...

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn📱 Mobile

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls set to close service in autumn

Well, it's about that time again. Yes, sadly we have to report that another fan-favourite mobile game is set to shut its doors. This time, the victim is none other than Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. And unfortunately, you don't have long to jump in and have a go, because end-of-service is set for September 3rd. A side-scrolling platformer in the vein of the classic Castlevania games, especially Symphony of the Night, Grimoire of Souls already has an interesting history. Slated to shutter back in 2020, Grimoire of Souls would instead make its way exclusively to Apple Arcade without any monetisation elements. ...
