And by “announced,” I mean “was in development for three years and only just became available for the public to play in an unfinished pre-alpha state one month ago.” Gnoblins: Shattered Dungeons is a 3d, first-person dungeon-crawler with procedurally generated caverns to explore and a home base to stock full of hired minions. The central […]

This just in: a bunch of indie RPGs are being sold at really steep discounts from today until June 1st! Honestly, I generally avoid posting about sales on this site–I consider it my goal to inform people about indie RPGs, not to promote the practice of buying them at a discount. However, there is a […]

I remember first seeing a Kickstarter for Saturday Morning RPG some months back. Much to my surprise, it looks like developers Mighty Rabbit Studios have already released the first two installments of this episodic, 80s-cartoon-themed RPG right under my nose. Saturday Morning RPG is a jRPG that banks on the nostalgia of gamers who grew […]

Breaking the string of Android exclusives, the next mobile RPG up on our list is an iPhone and iPad dungeon crawler by the name of DevilDark: The Fallen Kingdom. Excitingly, Triniti Interactive Limited just released this overhead action RPG last week, which means I’m actually announcing this in a somewhat timely fashion. (Go me!) An […]

Next up on our Big List of Mobile RPGs is Andor’s Trail, a roguelike with cute jRPG-style graphics created by Oskar Wiksten. Exclusive to the Android, Andor’s Trail is both free and open source–anyone can play the game, and anyone can contribute to the game’s further development. I have absolutely no idea what the game’s […]

The Trese Brothers aren’t just working on Cyber Knights RPG, yesterday’s featured game–they’re also actively developing Star Traders RPG, a game about highly celebrated and successful stock brokers. …just kidding! Star Traders RPG isn’t about stock brokers–it’s a turn-based, outer space role-playing game where you “trade, battle, pirate & bounty for galactic riches.” Inspired by […]

Next up on our ongoing mobile RPG series is Cyber Knights RPG by The Trese Brothers, a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk tactical RPG. Although this game is not technically finished, it’s very much playable and in open beta. The premise of Cyber Knights RPG should be familiar to anyone with even a passing familiarity with the conceits […]

Gurk and Gurk II, Android apps from developer Larva Labs, Ltd. are top-down, turn-based role-playing games that are at least superficially reminiscent of Ultima V. We’ll start with Gurk, a free game that offers “a 3-character party, 24 dungeon levels, 44 different items, 23 unique monsters and a vast wilderness.” It seems fairly basic, but […]

Next on our list of mobile indie RPGs is another first-person dungeon crawler, Oubliette. Created by GabySoft, Oubliette appears to be a remake of the 1983 original. The developer description of the game is rather confusing, in that it uses the terms “character” and “player” interchangeably (perhaps a relic from the days when a player […]

I spent some time this past week trawling various mobile app stores, looking for indie RPGs I hadn’t heard of. It turns out that there are a ton of them! I’ll be going down my list over the next week or two, posting about the games I found. First up, we have a first-person dungeon […]
