Mobile games releases of the week

This week has been rich in release announcements, with many games now available on stores:

  • Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is out in France. This PvP title on Play Store and App Store sends you into arenas made up of different horizontal and vertical platforms, a bit like Overwatch or other arena shooters.
  • Arranger is available outside the Netflix subscription on Play Store and App Store. In this puzzle game, Jemma moves around using a conveyor belt mechanism. You'll need to understand the interactions between the grid and your environment.
  • Aquamarine is available for $6 on theApp Store. If you love the visual style of Moebius, you'll love Aquamarine, a game of exploration, survival and storytelling under the surface of the water.
  • Subnautica Below Zero is available for $8 on Play Store and App Store. The ice-covered world arrives with new vehicles, more land content and critters you really don't want to run into.

We continue with Sword of Justice, which is releasing its Chess of Justice mode. The Ball x Pit roguelite port is also available on Play Store and App Store. Meanwhile, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is out on Play Store and App Store. Taimanin Squad, the new gacha RPG, has also been released on Play Store and App Store.

Then there's Outhold, the minimalist roguelite available on Play Store and App Store for $4. Chillyroom is launching a wipe-free Android beta for Guild of Monster Girls.

We end this section with the free Epic Games Store game of the week, Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap.
