Set to give lucky players a chance to get to grips with a large swathe of content, it's one of the clearest looks at the game we've had so far.

Chasing Kaleidorider is set in the near-future city of Terminus, where your hapless hero is tasked with guiding the titular Kaleidoriders in fighting monsters from beyond. And yes, the rider's name isn't just for show as all these girls take to the field atop their own personalised motorcycles.

Dress for the slide, not the ride

Naturally, given this is a romance-adjacent RPG, you won't just be fighting these nasty monsters either. In between missions, you can bond with your choice of rider, take them on dates to romantic hotspots and forge a lasting... friendship?

It's definitely one of the more unusual concepts for a game I've heard. But then I'm probably not the target audience. Still, if you're able to get in and give it a go, this playtest is set to offer plenty of content to sink your teeth into. Three main chapters of the game can be played through, alongside exclusive boss and character banners.

All pretty solid, and a good reason to check in if you're at all curious! Even if I'm not altogether sure about promoting the enhanced drop rates for a game that's not even fully out yet.

Still, if you want to see what kind of competition Chasing Kaleidorider will have at launch, why not check out our list of the best RPGs on Android, where we've ranked some of our favourite picks that you can play right now!

SoulTerra Odyssey sees Bandai Namco take a crack at colourful, roguelike, match-three action

Over the weekend, a trailer for a new release caught my eye. With colourful match-three gameplay and some obvious RPG elements, I was curious why I hadn't heard of it before. Imagine my surprise upon finding out that SoulTerra Odyssey had just hit soft launch for Australia, the Philippines, New Zeland and the UK, and from none other than Bandai Namco. SoulTerra Odyssey pitches itself as a distinctive blend of match-three puzzle gameplay, roguelite upgrades and RPG battles as you explore a colourful cartoon world with just a hint of grit to it. You'll recruit a crew of quirky passengers to help out in your adventures, and leverage their abilities in battle. ...

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase📱 Mobile

That’s My Balloon! turns balloon popping into an iOS score chase

It seems that today has been given over to arcade releases. Frutz had me dodging missiles earlier, and now That’s My Balloon! wants me to spend the evening popping balloons. At least this one does not expect me to inflate them first. Out now on iOS, That’s My Balloon! is a one-tap arcade release built around spotting balloons and bursting them before they float off the screen. You will also need to avoid dangerous surprises that drift across the screen. As rounds continue, balloons become harder to catch, and those hazards start making the one-tap controls considerably less relaxing. ...

Frutz sends you through five arcade worlds in pursuit of perfect runs

It's a brand new week - for some people, that means easing into it, but for others, it means chasing perfect grades while a screen fills with missiles. Frutz has arrived at a useful time. Out now on iOS and Android, Frutz is a retro-inspired side-scrolling arcade shooter that takes you through five cosmic worlds. Lord Zorkannan has handed the five Cosmic Gems to his strongest guardians, which is inconvenient, so you will need to defeat each one before meeting him in the Cosmic Rift. Until then, his guardians are busy filling every planet with enemies and hazards. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/frutz/official-launch/)
