Cassette Beasts launches on mobile and is truly a must-have
My entire decision to purchase an Xbox Series X was based on wanting to play Starfiel; a decision I do not regret, it is a great game. I subscribed to Game Pass, poked around a bit, and proceeded to spend a week playing one single game. Not Starfield no, but Cassette Beasts. Luckily, you no longer need to carry an Xbox and a TV around to play this phenomenal game, as Cassette Beasts is now available on mobile. Both Android and Apple wielders will be able to dive into New Wirral and explore one of the best Pokeclones there has been. Definitely better than the latest Pokemon outings at the least. If you never had the joy, Cassette Beasts is a monster-taming RPG where you wonder the wor…
Monster Hunter Now crosses over with Monster Hunter Wilds to form one monstrously giant mega-hunt
I am never sure how to feel when a company has a collaboration with itself, especially when it is the same series. On the one hand, it is great, free gear, but on the other, it just feels a little off somehow. Anyway, all that to see Monster Hunter Now will be hosting a collab event with Monster Hunter Wilds. This semi-crossover will be kicking off on February 3rd and will run right through until March 31st. Monster Hunter Wilds itself releases on February 28th on PC and console. This is important because the limited-times quest rewards in Now also include a gift code for Wilds. Simply slap around a few large monsters in Monster Hunter Now to complete a few limited quests and you wil…
Prepare for some humourous case solving with Duck Detective: The Secret Salami
Some days it is incredibly difficult to choose what news to cover; we have a lot of interesting games to discuss and I love to ramble. Once in a while though when you scan the press releases, you see a title such as Duck Detective: The Secret Salami, and the choice is so very obvious. The names just keep getting better, as Duck Detective is born from publishers Snapbreak Games, and indie studio Happy Broccoli Games. I don’t think we need to cover anything else about this. It is coming to mobile this year. Everybody, get out your cards and let's quack this case. I regret nothing. Duck Detective: The Secret Salami was originally released back in May 2024 on PC and consoles, but it soun…
Netmarble announces a global tournament for Solo Levelling: Arise in 2025
I have yet to personally play Solo Leveling: Arise, my mobile gaming time is taken up with mostly Wuthering Waves and Pokemon TCG Pocket. However, I do know about it, and I was pretty surprised to hear that Netmarble has announced its first global championship, which seemed strange for a single-player title. Last year Korea hosted two offline tournaments as evidenced by the video below, and the solution for how to compete in a game like this was, of course, time attacks. I am awful at these types of challenges, however, you can’t deny that the footage shows quite the electric atmosphere for these tournaments. The Solo Leveling: Arise Championship 2025 will pit competitors against one…
Food Rush is a fast-paced culinary sim that tests your time management, out now on Android
Firepath Games has officially launched Food Rush, the studio's fast-paced click-and-match culinary sim on Android. Designed to keep you on your toes across a buzzing restaurant scenario, it'll have you cooking up a storm in the kitchen to fulfil customer orders as you build your culinary empire from scratch. On the road to becoming the top chef and the greatest restaurateur, you'll need to master different recipes, unlock new cuisines, and upgrade your appliances as you go along.

You'll also need to make sure your customers keep coming back for more, so…
Swap your guns for Ninja shenanigans as Naruto enters Free Fire
If you ever watched any media featuring a ninja and thought to yourself, I wonder how they would cope with being shot at, Free Fire will soon offer the answer. The Garena smash hit will crossover with the legendary Naruto series from January 10th to February 9th. Booting up a battle royale match in Bermuda will spawn you in the Hidden Leaf Village, where Rim Nam Village is located. You will be able to explore a multitude of popular locations from the franchise, such as the Hokage Rock, Ichiraku Ramen Shop, and even Naruto’s house. After your tourism has ended, you will be shunted onto an aeroplane as the match starts. As you prepare to parachute, the mighty Nine Tails will appear and…
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links celebrates eight years of service with a landslide of shiny cards
I write this from a place of grand conflict; I enjoy Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links very much, however, this eighth-anniversary celebration has an unforgivable lack of Blue-Eyed White Dragons. Competitively they have dropped off, but the meta does not compete against nostalgic love for this cataclysmic monster. You know, unless you're trying to use it in a duel, then you're screwed. Dragon rant aside, although it’ll probably come up again later, Konami will commence its eighth year of Duel Links starting January 12th. That is an incredibly long time in mobile circles, and it speaks volumes that it is still as fun to play now as it has ever been. The speed duel format really suits handheld devic…
Torchlight: Infinities’ upcoming season launches this week with a new hero
XD Games has announced the impending arrival of Torchlight: Infitite's most dynamic season to date, set to launch on January 10th. Dubbed Arcana, it will bring us a fascinating hero to try out, Tarot Card-based mechanics, and the opportunity to face down a hoard of foes with your friends. Let’s start with the new hero; Iris, the Vigilant Breeze. In addition to having a beautiful name, Iris brings an interesting gameplay mechanic to battles. She merges with Spirit Magi to fire out obliterating elemental abilities, or be more supportive and heal. Having access to both choices will hopefully increase everyone's enjoyment. Appropriately, we will also get two new Spirit Magi arrivin…
Become a DigiDestined as Digimon comes to Puzzle & Dragons
I might be about to annoy a lot of people here, but I have always preferred Digimon to Pokemon. It wasn’t much of a rivalry, Pokemon was the obvious titan from the start, but I still preferred the Digimon anime and games. Happily, Gungho has announced a crossover with the unrated series and their hit title; Puzzle & Dragons. To kick things off correctly there is a login event to enjoy. You can grab a Digimon Adventure Egg Machine pull, a TAMADRA, King Diamond Dragon, and even a Seven-Star Digimon Egg Machine pull for showing up for ten days. Of course, there are also a plethora of dungeons to jump into. The Digimon Adventure-Novice and Expert Special Dungeons are available, each…
Dominate the seas with military might with Warpath's massive Naval update
I am no history or war buff but I do know one thing; even with all the evolutions of land and air combat, naval warfare is still vital. Lilith Games recognises this, with the introduction of a major Navy update to Warpath, alongside a brand-new Naval Force system. Nearly 100 replica ships from World War Two to modern times have been recreated, including the Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier, Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyer, and Project 971 Class Submarines. They are split into six categories; Submarines, Aircraft Carriers, Guided Missile Destroyers, Anti-Submarine Frigates, Armored Destroyers, and Anti-Aircraft Destroyers. Each of these types has been balanced with its own strengths and weakness…
Honkai: Star Rail finally takes us to a new world with Version 3.0 this month
My biggest criticism of Honkai: Star Rail is that the writers keep revisiting the same old areas and locations. Version 3.0 aims to fix this with the introduction of a brand new world; Amphoreus. We will also be enjoying the longest story arc to date, spanning eight versions up until 3.7. The Astral Express is following Black Swan to Amphoreus in search of Trailblaze Fuel and, of course, adventure. The inhabitants are unaware of life outside their world, worshipping deities dubbed Titans instead of the Aeons. Three of these - Strife, Death, and Trickery - triggered a civil war among the gods, causing the deadly black tide to sweep over everything. There will be a lot of places and people t…
Marvel Rivals announces new years collaborations with three mobile games
In a time when the majority of superhero games are getting royally roasted - Gotham Knights, Marvel's Avengers, and Suicide Squad immediately jump to mind - it is nice to see one doing well. I of course refer to Marvel Rivals, the hero shooter that came in and immediately shook up the established players, and soon mobile gamers could get in on the fun. In a way. No, we are not hoarding any secret news of a mobile port prepared to pounce out of the gates. Instead, the developers have announced collaborations with three mobile titles. Marvel Snap, Marvel Puzzle Quest, and Marvel Future Fight have all gotten the nod, with content scheduled to drop on January 3rd. Personally, I am most happy t…
Continue the Shadow of Sin and Steel Mythos in Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space
Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space is perhaps one of the best-named titles in gaming. It has a funky RPG-sounding header, far-off adventure vibes, and of course a cat. Person feelings aside, the Verison 3.10.10 Additional Update has recently launched, bringing a New Year Campaign and a new story. Mythos Shadow of Sin and Steel Chapter Four brings us back to the story of Senya, and they are not doing well. Kuosagi Castle has fallen, and its lord has been vanquished. In one night, Senya has lost it all. It is quite a depressing start to the new year, but who knows, it might pick up from there. In order to start Chapter Four, you first need to unlock a few requirements. The first two…
Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team is hosting a very generous January full of free gifts
It's shaping up to be a good beginning of the year for fans of over-the-top football action, as Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team is set to hold its 7th Anniversary Campaign. Here you can get an army of new recruits, as well as stake your claim for the biggest match of the year. The New Year’s Exhibition Match is set to kick off in February 2025, and there is still time for you to get called up. Limited time, granted, because to take part you need to reach the top 100 in the number of Online Points in December and January Rank Matches. But you know, it's possible. These experts will then face a user vote to determine the final lineup for the match. If you want to practise your skills…
Giant glaciers threaten Kaia Island in Play Together
I realise that I mention the weather a lot, and I will continue you too. I am British, it is our national sport. To wit; Christmas may be over but the cold is sure as hell still here, and it continues to invade Play Together, as the icy horror spreads. Aurora the Ice Queen, watcher of the North Pole, has started to lose control of her powers, and as a result, massive glaciers are appearing on Kaira Island. Luckily, cracking these fellas open will allow you to collect the Aurora Gems and Glacier Dies’ within. These contain fragments of the queen’s power, and it is up to you to gather enough to restore Auroras’ power. You could also use the Aurora Gems to craft winter items…
