Claim free in-game rewards in Summoners Glory: Eternal Fire this weekend

Summoners Glory: Eternal Fire, BHG team’s first ever game, launches this Sunday on October 18. Blending together the turn-based, hero collector, PVP, and MMORPG genres, Summoners Glory: Eternal Fire aims to immerse players in the world of Kairasia as they battle against Morganter, the Demon Lord.

Morganter’s reign of terror on the people of Ertos looked like it would be the end of civilisation as they knew it, but the Goddess of the Initial Fire stepped up just in time. Shining her light of hope on humanity, the heroes of Ertos felt the power of the Initial Fire. With the leadership of the Gods, the heroes of Ertos face Morganter for the final time. As a Phantom Master, it’s up to you to bring peace to Ertos once and for all.

In this dungeon crawler, you assemble a squad capable of toppling Morganter. There are hundreds of unique heroes scattered around the world called Phantoms. Defeating these powerful Phantoms may lead them to pledge their allegiance to you, so it’s worth battling these strong opponents once you have prepared for battle.

If you start playing Summoners Glory: Eternal Fire, be sure to enter code PocketTactics at the character creation screen to get some powerful in-game rewards. The items include experience buffs, summoning books, an SS Rank Phantom, and even gold. Don’t worry, this code doesn’t expire so feel free to use it at any point.

Summoners Glory: Eternal Fire will be arriving on Android and iOS devices at the end of the week. Players can pre-register their interest to play on the Google Play Store and App Store right now.

The Project Cars Go closed beta is live for the next two weeks

Project Cars Go, the one-touch racing game from Slightly Mad Studios, is now in closed beta for iOS and Android users. The closed beta period started on October 14 and will end on October 27, giving players plenty of time to test their racing skills against the toughest opponents the road has to offer.

Unlike Slightly Mad Studios’ console games Project Cars 1 & 2, which focused on being a fully fledged driving simulator, Project Cars Go aims to simplify the complex mechanics of racing while maintaining an aspect of realism. Project Cars Go allows players to take a spin in 50 licensed cars on 12 unique tracks, three of which are based on real-world races.

The one-touch racing mechanic in Project Cars Go allows players to drive with ease no matter where they are. Here’s what Ian Bell, CEO at Slightly Mad Studios has to say about this feature: “Condensing the key moments of what a driver does out on the track—brakes, entry-points, exit points—into a ‘One Touch’ mechanic was an interesting project for us at the studio, as we wanted to retain the authenticity of the Project CARS franchise but cater for what our fans want on a racer they can play on the go.”

Unfortunately, if you didn’t sign up to the closed beta then it looks like you won’t be playing Project Cars Go any time soon. Currently, there is no release date for the full game. In the meantime, check out this trailer, which debuts new gameplay.

If you weren’t one of the selected players to join Project Cars Go closed beta, definitely check out our best mobile multiplayer games list, which features a number of racing games. There should be something you fancy on that list no matter what device you happen to own.

Markiplier ditches YouTube to become a fantasy barkeeper

YouTube superstar Markiplier is set to enter the world of AFK Arena alongside his lovely dog, Chica. He’s taken up residence as the new barkeeper in the Noble Tavern, a sort of home away from home where you can summon heroes and have a break between adventures.

His likeness has been recreated in AFK Arena’s vibrant style, meaning he doesn’t look out of place among the other NPCs. He’s also lent his voice to the role, so you can expect to hear both words of wisdom and encouragement from the man himself. Plus, whenever you visit the Noble Tavern, he’ll be right there waiting to help you summon powerful allies to your team.

This is only the latest in a series of AFK Arena collaborations with major stars. Earlier this week, we covered the game’s ‘Cheat on your RPG’ ad campaign featuring Elijah Wood. The first of those TV spots sets up Wood’s secret love for AFK Arena and his rocky relationship with orc Uzgahk the Horrid. Yes, it’s all a bit wild.

Here you can see Markiplier and Chica in AFK Arena:

New characters arrive regularly in AFK Arena, but the Markiplier collab is something a little different. Recently, new recruitable heroes Zaphreal and Lucretia joined the fray, and there was even an AFK Arena Assassin’s Creed crossover not too long ago.

If you’re willing to risk losing dozens of hours of your time, you can grab AFK Arena now from over on the App Store or Google Play. Oh, and be sure to use code “BestRPG4BusyU” to net yourself 500K Gold and 500 Diamonds. We also keep an AFK Arena tier list and a regularly updated list of AFK Arena codes.

Mario Kart Tour’s Anniversary Tour brings big rewards and classic courses

Mario Kart Tour‘s 1st Anniversary Tour is fast approaching, and it’s set to reintroduce a handful of popular city courses. You can also expect to earn some handy rewards during this limited-time celebration, including additional rubies and more. The current Los Angeles Tour will soon draw to a close, meaning time is of the essence if you want to grab its themed rewards.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since Nintendo’s kart racer arrived on the scene. The game has changed drastically over those 12 months, with its regular content drops helping to flesh out the core experience. Nintendo has also offered new ways to play, such as a fan-requested landscape mode, improved driving controls, and an extensive multiplayer component.

The 1st Anniversary Tour is slated to launch next Tuesday, October 6th. The main draw will no doubt be the five returning city courses, but you can also net yourself some decent log-in goodies by playing the game throughout the 14-day event. And, as a bonus, every reward you earn will also get you some extra rubies. Not bad at all.

Here’s a trailer for the Los Angeles Tour:

If you’re an avid MK Tour player, you’ll no doubt find our Mario Kart Tour challenges guide to be of great use. And you can grab the game itself from over on the App Store and Google Play as a free-to-play title.

Badlanders is essentially Escape from Tarkov mobile, now open for pre-registration

October, 1: Badlanders has now opened for pre-registration globally.

Badlanders is a new survival game from mobile behemoth NetEase that recently entered closed beta in select regions. You’re dropped into a warzone and challenged to scavenge for supplies in order to repel enemy forces, with your ultimate goal being to acquire items with the highest value, then make your daring escape.

Dotted around the map are some all-important escape points for you to reach. If you manage to hold one down successfully, you’ll leave the battlefield with your gear intact. Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel Ahmad likened the game to Escape from Tarkov, a gritty first-person shooter that shot to popularity earlier this year. As Ahmad said in a recent Twitter thread, NetEase is especially skilled at bringing popular PC or console genres to mobile.

There are three distinct trading systems to make use of in Badlanders. Exchange, as the name suggests, allows you to purchase and sell some basic supplies. Prism gives you the chance to acquire more premium loot with enhanced attributes, and Auction lets you set your own prices and trade freely with other players.

Here’s a recent trailer:

It’s all about supply and demand, so you have to be smart about your pricing strategies if you want to make some decent cash. And you’ll need every penny you can get in order to insure your favourite items. Doing so will allow you to regain, for example, your preferred gun after a certain amount of time. That is unless someone steals it from your corpse.

The persistent loot system is largely what will set Badlanders apart from similar games on mobile, and it already sounds like an interesting spin on several established genres. For now, only Android players in the CBT regions can give it a go, but the game has in fact opened for pre-registration globally with a few exceptions. If you’re in Belgium, Taiwan, Vietnam, Mainland China, or any of the CBT areas, you won’t currently be able to pre-register.

Here are some handy links to Badlanders’ App Store and Google Play pages. The former lists its expected release date as October 24th. And, while you’re here, why not check out our list of the best mobile multiplayer games?

Zaphreal and Lucretia are the newest characters to join the AFK Arena roster

The popular idle RPG, AFK Arena, has just announced two brand new characters are coming, Zaphreal and Lucretia. The pair are a married couple with a tragic backstory that you can check out by watching a couple of upcoming animated shorts, with the series titled Tales of Esperia.

The first short is Memory of Lucretia, which provides a brief history of the characters and shows the moment that the pair were torn apart. The second is titled, Desperation, and will bring even more depth to the lore of AFK Arena and the characters it is based around. Zaphreal and Lucretia are available from September 29, and players can redeem one of them for free until October 26.

Choose wisely, as players that choose Zaphreal, of the Celestials faction, will harness his lightning attacks that deal massive damage. those of you that choose Lucretia, with the Hypogeans, will go for a character with a physical combat-style that features curved attacks that cut her foes to shreds. AFK Arena is available for free from Google Play and the App Store. While waiting for Zaphreal and Lucretia to release, check out our AFK Arena codes and AFK Arena tier list.

Here’s when Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent launches in Japan

Square Enix has announced the Japanese release date for the highly anticipated free-to-play mobile JRPG Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. Pre-registration is now live in Japan for Android and iOS, and the game will be available to play from October 28, 2020. A localisation and international release date are yet to be announced.

We don’t know much about Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent as of yet, though Square Enix has revealed the combat features a command battle system with parties consisting of up to eight members. It is a prequel to the much-beloved Octopath Traveler and set in the same locale of Osterra. The original Octopath Traveler is a turn-based role-playing game, which initially released on Nintendo Switch in 2018 followed by PC, and Google Stadia in later years.

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is already proving to be extremely popular, and as of now has surpassed 500,000 pre-registered accounts. To commemorate this milestone, composer Yasunori Nishiki, best known for his work on the original Octopath Traveler soundtrack, has released a brand new song.

Check out the new trailer below:

Get a free premium pass in grand strategy game Supremacy 1!

Grand strategy is a tough genre to bring to mobile, after all, how do you fit something so big into something so small? But you’d be surprised what’s possible when developers put their minds to it. Long term grand strategy has become especially popular on mobile in recent years, and it’s understandable when you consider that long term strategy is basically idle strategy, as you log on once per day, make a few tactical choices, and then forget about it until the next. It’s a genre which suits mobile surprisingly well.

That’s why we’ve decided to partner with Bytro Labs this week for our giveaway, to hand out some premium passes for WW1 game, Supremacy 1. In each campaign of Supremacy, you play against up to 84 players per match, and face off against each other to take control of the map. These games can last weeks, and sometimes even up to a month, so if you like depth to your strategy, this might be one for you.

Each premium pass gives you one month of High Command, which grants you a building queue, and rally points in the game, which essentially allows you to stack commands for units after they’ve finished recruiting.

If Supremacy 1 sounds like your kind of game, we’ve got Android and iOS entry forms below. Though, if you are going to enter, please do see our terms and conditions first!

Get a first look at Summoners War: Chronicles in the Gamescom 2020 trailer

Com2us presented Summoners War: Chronicles, the upcoming MMORPG sequel to the long-running gacha RPG, Summoners War, in a brand new gameplay trailer during Gamescom 2020. We have to say, it’s looking pretty snazzy. It shows off some of the fancy new traversal features, including climbing down cliffsides and whizzing down ziplines, as well as plenty of combat.

That’s where Summoners War: Chronicles seems to really shine. At first glance, it looks like a typical MMORPG, complete with a wide variety of gear to equip, flashy skills to unleash, and giant boss monsters to vanquish. Glance again, though, and you’ll recognise a few of your favourite monsters from the original. You still play as a summoner here, and bringing your favourite monsters into battle with you remains a big part of the experience.

There are plenty of opportunities to kick back though, with lifestyle skills playing a big part this time around. We got a glance at fishing, gathering herbs, and mining, and it all looked like a very relaxing way to spend an evening after a long day at work.

Check out the Gamescom 2020 gameplay trailer below:

Overall, it looks all set to be a nice expansion to the existing Summoners War universe, with a wide variety of new content to enjoy. Most importantly, you can enjoy it with friends in fully persistent areas. This is an MMORPG, after all.

In other news, Com2us has announced a crossover with Street Fighter, which also received a teaser trailer at Gamescom. Your favourite characters, including Ryu, Ken, M. Bison, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim make an appearance as playable monsters in the original Summoners War. The best part is, you can experience this content right now.

Here’s a taste of what to expect:

You can grab Summoners War on iOS or Android via the App Store or Google Play respectively. We’re not sure exactly when Summoners War: Chronicles will arrive on mobile, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we learn more.

The Garena Free Fire and Money Heist crossover Plan Bermuda is now live

The latest heist in Garena Free Fire is now live in-game. Plan Bermuda is an unlikely crossover between Free Fire and Netflix’s Money Heist, also known as La Casa de Papel. Plan Bermuda introduces a full in-game takeover, a new four-on-four game mode, and a fresh collection of classic outfits inspired by the Money Heist TV show.

As part of the Plan Bermuda update, a new game arrives in Garena Free Fire. Money Heist mode drops on September 19, and sees opposing teams race to collect the most cash before time runs out. The mode is best described as a domination-style game, where you have to gain control of a money printer and defend it to secure the cash. Whichever team reaches the allotted amount of cash inside the time limit wins.

Some other in-game activities arrive on September 6, but the Money Printing event won’t be available until September 12. This event focuses around printing money for prizes, and you can speed up the printing by completing daily events, recruiting friends, and adding Printer Fuel Tokens. The ultimate goal is to earn one million dollars before the event ends on September 22.

If you want to know more, you can watch a trailer for the event below:

Plan Bermuda will also feature some new cosmetics, such as Money Heist themes, Plan Bermuda parachutes, and Shinobi, Kunoichi, and Street outfits

“Creating memorable experiences for our Free Fire community is key,” says Harold Teo, producer at Garena, regarding the partnership. “There are few better ways to do so than by teaming up with one of the most popular Netflix series, Money Heist.”

If you want to play the event for yourself, you can find Garena Free Fire on Google Play and the App Store. For more similar recommendations, see our list of the best mobile multiplayer games!
