Another year, another E3 down. There was a bit more mobile love than I was expecting, all things considered, but still not so much that it prevented this week from being a bit on the slow side. Hopefully things will pick up again now that the madness is over. Make sure you check up our round-up of interesting tid-bits<\/a> from yesterday because, one way or another, we’ve got some exciting things coming to mobile over the rest of the year!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the world of mobile gaming…<\/p>\n

Out Now<\/h2>\n

We appear to be in a bit of a draught right now In terms of new releases that have really grabbed our attention. For once there isn\u2019t a new rogue-like card game hitting the market, but neither is there anything else we like to see either.<\/p>\n

However, there have been a couple of RPG releases that warrant further inspection, which we\u2019ll summarise below:<\/p>\n

Knights of Tartarus (iOS<\/a> & Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

This is another Crescent Moon Games release that harks back to the nostalgic days of 8-bit consoles and classic RPGs. It\u2019s a bit on the pricey side, but it\u2019s supposed to feature an vast open world, challenging puzzles and boss fights.<\/p>\n

Dark Quest 2 (iOS<\/a> & Android<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

A more tactical-based RPG along the lines we\u2019re used to, this game is inspired by Hero Quest and has been out on PC and Consoles for a while. It features a vast single-player campaign, party-based gameplay and the usual trappings of a game of this nature. There\u2019s some question as to how stable it is right now, so we\u2019ll try and investigate as soon as we can.<\/p>\n

As a final note, it seems Call of Duty: Mobile<\/em> has soft-launched on iOS in Australia, if anyone was interested in checking it out and knows their way around a VPN (or is Australian). It\u2019s also out on Android in certain parts of the world as well.<\/p>\n

Updates<\/h2>\n

Nothing much to \u2018headline\u2019 this section this week, but there has been a round of updates from usual suspects. Star Traders: Frontiers<\/em> continues to put all other devs to shame with a couple of minor content drops<\/a>, AutoChess<\/em> has made improvements to its Chess Pass along with some tweaks, and Evolution<\/em> has updated again, although the description reads exactly like it did last time, so not sure what\u2019s going on there. There\u2019s a Reigns: Her Majesty<\/em> update as well, but we don\u2019t know what it\u2019s done as of yet.<\/p>\n

Deals<\/h2>\n

A few deals worth nothing this week:<\/p>\n
