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 […]

Back on March 22, developer TouchFoo released a side-scrolling platformer RPG by the name of Swordigo for the iPhone and iPad. Me, I just heard about it yesterday, so here I am sharing the news. Swordigo’s feature list is sort of generic, and the website says absolutely nothing about the game’s plot, so I’ll simply […]

Chain of Retribution is a free jRPG created in RPG Maker. More interestingly, however, it’s also a “chain game.” This means that it was created via the game design equivalent of Exquisite Corpse. To wit: one designer worked on it, then passed it to another, who then worked on it and passed it on, and […]

I’m a little late, here: Red Rogue has been out in various playable-but-incomplete forms for months now. (This is what happens when you don’t write in, developers: games bloggers seldom act sua sponte, and I am certainly no exception.) Red Rogue is a side-scrolling graphical roguelike by Aaron Steed, pitched as a reimagining of the […]

I found out about Tales of Maj’Eyal by virtue of DIY Gamer featuring it as roguelike of the year, eking out a win over the much better-known Dungeons of Dredmor. Tales of Maj’Eyal is a bit like Dredmor in that it eschews ASCII graphics in favor of representational ones, and it tacks on a nice, […]

Sensou writes in to inform me that he has created an homage to the original Septerra Core in RPG Maker. It’s a free fan game, essentially, which you can nab here. There is a video showing some gameplay footage, which should probably give you some idea if you’ll be interested or not.
