Fortune Tellers Academy

RPG, 2D, jRPG, Manga and Anime, Singleplayer, Turn-based.
A free-to-play mobile jRPG developed by Square Enix's in-house studio led by Jun Fujisawa (the creator of Dragon Quest IX, among other titles). The action of Fortune Tellers Academy takes place in the present day on Earth, although both magic and various kinds of supernatural creatures are real. The player assumes the role of a student that attends the eponymous school for people who are able to foresee the future. The gameplay mechanics do not deviate from most mobile jRPGs – we mostly explore, undertake quests, and fight turn-based battles. Apart from school life simulation, which is the main story arc, and the genre-characteristic character progression system, the game's key element is the ability to predict future events. It influences both the gameplay and the outcomes of subsequent battles.

Deer Hunter 2016
June 5, 2015
Action, FPP, FPS, Hunting, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
Deer Hunter 2016 is yet another game in the Deer Hunter series developed by Glu Mobile. Like the previous installments, Deer Hunter 2016 is a first-person hunting game in which the player hunts various animals: bears, crocodiles, lynx, and others. We have to track the prey down before we can shoot it. You have to take under consideration the fact that some animals are meek and easily-frightened, and others will attack you. Because of that, gameplay is not always the same in Deer Hunter 2016. In their search for more trophies, the players travel to different parts of the world, like Alaska or Zimbabwe. During the hunt, you can use a wide range of munitions. The available hunting rifles can be additionally modified with gun sights, magazines, and other useful upgrades. For a mobile game, Deer Hunter 2016 visuals are quite impressive. Various environments are diversified and quite detailed, and the animal models, and their animation, present a high build quality. Deer Hunter 2016 is a free-to-play game with advertisements and optional microtransactions.

Puzzle, Arcade Elements, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
Bandai Namco’s production made to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Pac-Man series. Unlike most previous entries in the franchise featuring the ball-eating hero, PAC-Man Bounce is a puzzle game – we don’t directly control the protagonist, instead manipulating the surroundings to help him collect all items needed to pass a level. While Pac-Man moves on a predetermined track, bouncing from walls, there are objects that can be used to change his direction. There's over a hundred stages with increasing difficulty, and we can somewhat compete with others through online rankings, integrated with Facebook. This is complemented by good-looking, colorful and legible visuals. The game is distributed as free-to-play title with microtransactions.

Children of Zodiarcs
July 18, 2017
RPG, Fantasy, jRPG, Singleplayer, Tactics, Turn-based, Isometric View.
Children of Zodiarcs is a tactical RPG developed by Cardboard Utopia. The game takes place in a fantasy world ruled by the Torian Empire. The empire owes its power to the titular Zodiarcs, ancient machines that were left behind by a long extinct civilization. We play as a band of thieves caught in the act of robbing one of the nobles. This draws the attention of the guards and other criminal groups, like the Cannibal Clan. Gameplay is based on turn-based combat. The key to success lies in taking advantage of the game's environment and the individual skills of our party members. Almost all of our combat actions are controlled by a deck of cards we collect during our adventures. The effects of our actions can be empowered by throwing dice. We can improve those dice through an advanced crafting system. Children of Zodiarcs allows us to develop our characters in many various ways.
