With the demise of your wife, you're left alone to raise your infant daughter, with your decisions on how to care for her resulting in 50 different possible endings.

Volcanic tempers

But what the heck is a 'princess maker?' Well, believe it or not, this is a pretty popular genre in Japan, starting with the game of the same name. Essentially, think of it like a mix between Tamagotchi and RPG, except you're not controlling the character directly.

Instead, between your interactions with your daughter and other characters, as well as what they learn and experience, they'll end up growing into a different kind of person. Of course, anyone who's a parent or been a kid knows that it's far from that simple in real life, but hey, it's a game.

More than that, Volcano Princess' mobile release will also include brand-new story content, illustrations and dungeons to explore. Yes, there's actual combat in this! And the morals of child endangerment as your daughter joins the battle, it's indicative of the surprisingly robust suite of content that Volcano Princess has to offer when it launches on July 30th.

In the meantime, if you'd still rather take the lead in adventuring yourself, then that's alright. Just take a look at our list of the best RPGs on Android to find some of our favourite picks you can play right now!

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.

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/)
