Overview & Key Takeaways

For whatever reason, the idea of mixing rhythm gameplay with narrative is pretty popular. Just look at the Love Live franchise. And now you can enjoy that same mixture of heartwarming story and fast, peppy gameplay in the upcoming BanG Dream! Our Notes, which has just opened pre-registration for its global closed beta! The Love Live comparison wasn't for nothing either, as Bang Dream! follows a similar format, although rather than all-female idol groups, it's all-female bands. This entry is the latest in the franchise and follows the exploits of the returning band MyGo!!! and Ave Mujica, as well as two new bands: Millsage and Ikka Dumb Rock! ... [MORE]

, it looks like BanG Dream! is trucking along quite quickly towards a global release.

The format may be a bit of a marmite one, but BanG Dream! has more going for it than just rhythm gameplay and occasional interludes. There's the Anon Tokyo feature that sees fan-favourite character Anon Chihaya opening a fashion boutique in Tokyo (in her dreams, but same difference) and offering an insight into her character.

Again, BanG Dream! and games like it are tailored towards a specific audience. It's not quite my thing, but I can see why others would find it a refreshing change from the usual violence-packed RPGs that you'll find on mobile. So keep your eyes peeled for BanG Dream!'s upcoming global release later this year if you're interested!

And in the meantime, if you're looking for something else to keep you occupied ahead of release, why not take a look at our list of theย best mobile games in soft launch to see some other upcoming games you can play right now?

The Convergence is a dark fantasy auto-battler that uses an isometric perspective

As we head towards midday, there's an interesting little iOS auto-battler that's just crossed my desk. That's a genre I've often expressed confusion about the appeal of in the past, but if there's one that can justify why people like it, I reckon that The Convergence, out now on iOS, may just be that! With its isometric perspective and dark fantasy world, it's easy to see that The Convergence may have taken some significant inspiration from the world of Diablo. In it, you equip your heroes and send them out, watching as they either succeed or fail based on your preparation. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/the-convergence/out-now-on-ios/)

MoonDust: Cosmic Journey is an atmospheric sci-fi side-scroller with lush graphics

It's hard to really communicate the majesty and grandeur of outer space in gaming. I mean, there's only so many times you can stare in wonder at stars and nebulae before it all gets a bit samey. Fortunately, MoonDust: Cosmic Journey offers a truly visually attention-grabbing take on worlds of sci-fi and outer space! Available now on iOS, MoonDust is described by the developer as an atmospheric sci-fi exploration game. What that means is you'll have basic side-scrolling action in the foreground as you pilot your ship and avoid obstacles while collecting different elements, as in the background a gorgeous vista of strange alien worlds goes by. ...

Sally Face is the tale of one boy, his portable console, a prosthetic face and the horrors

The indie horror game is practically a genre unto itself. And with so many of them, there are equally ludicrous and disturbing premises for how the nightmare begins. But I think Sally Face is probably a standalone for its main character literally not having a face, and surprisingly, they're not the villain either! Sally Face sees you taking on the role of the titular character, a boy with a dark and troubled past, which is probably the best you can hope for, having to wear a prosthetic face after yours was destroyed. With the help of a portable gaming console that allows him to speak with the dead, Sal will have to solve a series of disturbing mysteries plaguing his home town with the help of his friends. ...
