Steven Peeler writes in to announce that Drox Operative has just been released. For those of you unfamiliar, Drox Operative is a sci-fi, outer space take on the Diablo-alike subgenre. It features procedurally generated galaxies, procedurally generated quests, and ever-evolving factional alliances to navigate in real-time. Here’s the plot premise: Eons ago the Drox ruled […]

Jonathan Dixon writes in to let me know that Modest Arcade has released Alcarys Complex, the The Secret of Mana-style action jRPG that we last covered back in June.

New from the Neverending Backlog of Mobile Indie RPGs comes Earth and Legend, a 3D over-the-shoulder action RPG by Dvide Arts.

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.
