Normal service resumes again today, and there\u2019s a lot to catch up on. Still kind of bummed there wasn\u2019t much more to write about from PDXCon regarding mobile. The Stellaris<\/em> spin-off was definitely a point of conversation but other than saying \u201cwe messed up,”<\/em> there wasn\u2019t much more for them to say.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in mobile gaming…<\/p>\n

Out Now<\/h2>\n

This is going to be a bit of a disjointed section this today because there\u2019s quite a few things to catch up on from the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

First thing\u2019s first, y\u2019all saw Bad North<\/em> last week<\/a>, right? Our review is in-progress and coming as fast as we can, but I\u2019ve been playing it on Android and it\u2019s pretty legit. It\u2019s a minimalist game so you may not be able to play it for long periods of time, and the controls are a tiny bit fiddly, but it\u2019s still pretty good.<\/p>\n

Add to that is the fact that Rome: Total War – Alexander<\/em> is now available on iPhone (making the game iOS Universal), as well as Android devices<\/a>. This is the last of the Rome: Total War<\/em> releases to complete their mobile journey. You can read our Rome: Total War Alexander<\/em><\/a> review here, otherwise, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n

Go here for device requirements.<\/a><\/p>\n

It also seems 7 Wonders: Duel<\/em> released onto both iOS<\/a> and Android<\/a> this week, to absolutely zero fanfare (hats off to the Stately Play community<\/a> for the tip). It distils the typical 7 Wonders<\/em> gameplay into a more competitive one-on-one mode. We\u2019ll try and get on this as soon as we can, but it might have to wait a week or two.<\/p>\n

As for other releases this week, there have been a few things that have caught our eye, but nothing we\u2019ve actually played yet:<\/p>\n
