There’s a new indie strategy RPG in the southern sky, folks. By “the southern sky,” I of course mean “the Android app store”; and by “new,” I mean “new to me.” (It was released in March.) Courtesy of questionably named indie developer Mangobile comes Kingturn RPG, a turn-based strategy RPG with a distinctly political plot: […]

Emil Bakalinov of Attic Squad writes in to announce the release of a unique new game called Warlock’s Bounty for Android. The narrative premise is simple: You are a mighty wizard, once apprenticed to the sorcerer Corax Whiteraven, guardian of the lands of Lloegyr. When Whiteraven’s familiar appears out of the blue carrying an urgent […]

Trent Gamblin of Nooskewl writes in with word of Monster RPG 2, a jRPG where…you recruit an elephant? You guys see that too, right? That’s not just me? Okay, cool. Here is the plot, as summarized by the developer: The game opens on a girl and guy picking mushrooms in the forest, and they find […]

I could have sworn I’d posted about Cardinal Quest before, but I can’t seem to find it in the archives. Shame on me! But hey–better late than never, right? I’m not going to quote the developer’s description here, as it’s really inaccurate (he compares the game to arcade games like Gauntlet and Golden Axe, which […]

Symphony of Eternity is another one of those jRPGs that actually originate in Japan. Another Kemco game, SoE is pretty old by mobile standards, with a copyright dating back as far as 2009. Kemco released an English translation sometime early in 2011 for Android, with a more-or-less contemporaneous iOS release alongside. The narrative for Symphony […]

I’ve finally managed to find another mobile indie RPG that appears on both Android and iOS! Alphadia is a straightforward jRPG by Kemco, a prolific (and apparently fairly large) Japanese indie developer. The premise: It has been almost a century since the end of the Energi War. Nevertheless, within this prolonged season of peace, the […]

New from the Neverending Backlog of Mobile Indie RPGs comes Earth and Legend, a 3D over-the-shoulder action RPG by Dvide Arts. It strikes me as a pretty competent Elder Scrolls clone, right down to the dull storyline. Speaking of which: As time passed on, each of the four Elementals used their unique powers of fire, […]

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 […]
