<p>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 <a href="https://www.pockettactics.com/articles/e3-2019-mobile-news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">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>
<p>Meanwhile, in the world of mobile gaming…</p>
<h2>Out Now</h2>
<p>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’t a new rogue-like card game hitting the market, but neither is there anything else we like to see either.</p>
<p>However, there have been a couple of RPG releases that warrant further inspection, which we’ll summarise below:</p>
<h3>Knights of Tartarus (<a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/knights-of-tartarus/id1463449438?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS</a> &amp; <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crescentmoongames.kot2&amp;hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Android</a>)</h3>
<p>This is another Crescent Moon Games release that harks back to the nostalgic days of 8-bit consoles and classic RPGs. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but it’s supposed to feature an vast open world, challenging puzzles and boss fights.</p>

<h3>Dark Quest 2 (<a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/dark-quest-2/id1307613713?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS</a> &amp; <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brainseal.darkquest2&amp;hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Android</a>)</h3>
<p>A more tactical-based RPG along the lines we’re 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’s some question as to how stable it is right now, so we’ll try and investigate as soon as we can.</p>

<p>As a final note, it seems <em>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’s also out on Android in certain parts of the world as well.</p>
<h2>Updates</h2>
<p>Nothing much to ‘headline’ this section this week, but there has been a round of updates from usual suspects. <em>Star Traders: Frontiers</em> continues to put all other devs to shame with <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/games/335620/announcements/detail/1599255733626596657" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a couple of minor content drops</a>, <em>AutoChess</em> has made improvements to its Chess Pass along with some tweaks, and <em>Evolution</em> has updated again, although the description reads exactly like it did last time, so not sure what’s going on there. There’s a <em>Reigns: Her Majesty</em> update as well, but we don’t know what it’s done as of yet.</p>
<h2>Deals</h2>
<p>A few deals worth nothing this week:</p>
<p><em>Seen anything else you liked? Played any of the above? Let us know in the comments!</em></p>
