Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – May 2023 round-up

Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – May 2023 round-up
Worms WMD: Mobilise – the worms have turned… up on mobile (pic: Team17)



GameCentral takes its usual monthly look at the best new mobile games, including an inventive new puzzler and a clever new SimCity clone.



After a bank holiday weekend full of solemn pageantry, uniform thin grey drizzle, and lightly moistened Union Flag bunting, it’s time to get back to what’s important: playing video games on your phone . This month’s releases include the deceptively simple Scenic Route’s Generations, Arcane Vale’s brand of beguiling indie adventuring, and the superb mayor simulator Pocket City 2.



Scenic Route’s Generations – the crank free version (pic: Scenic Route)



Scenic Route’s Generations



iOS, £4.99 (Scenic Route)



Originally released on Panic’s splendid Playdate handheld , Generations has you dropping faces onto a grid. Place three of the same age group together and they merge into a face one generation older. Merge four or more and you can skip multiple generations in a single move.



The merging process also creates opportunities to chain sequences together, one merge feeding the next. It’s initially too much for a feeble human mind to take in, but you soon start to create more of them, and pull off longer chains.



Despite its apparent simplicity there’s an awful lot going on underneath, which you discover as you play, the highly entertaining gameplay evolving as you learn the tricks of its trade.



Score: 8/10









Mighty Quest Rogue Palace



iOS & Android, Netflix subscription (Netflix)



Developed by Ubisoft, this jolly cartoon-style hack ’n’ slash has your knight diving into a roguelite void in search of epic loot.



Every level is a fight for treasure, whether a weapon or piece of armour, that you acquire on successfully finishing it. Get killed and you end up back in the hub to spend your currencies on upgrades, before returning to the fray.



Its touch controls work well enough for the button mashing and occasional dodges the game requires, although fighting your way through areas that previous runs failed to complete, long after you’ve collected all the loot they have to offer, is as tedious as it sounds.



Score: 6/10







Arcane Vale



iOS & Android, £4.99 (Dynamic Zero)



Arcane Vale first arrived on PC at the end of last year and now its charming brand of open world role-playing has been ported to mobile. Viewed from above, with a 16-bit pixel art style, it has a look and feel instantly reminiscent of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past.



It also has a warm sense of humour, delivered by the range of oddballs you meet as you explore, gather resources, craft upgrades, and cook delicious slap-up meals.



It’s an indie game, so not as massive as some of the titles that inspired it, but your time in its handmade landscapes and dungeons is just so unwaveringly cheerful, it’s perfect touchscreen escapism.



Score: 7/10









Bacon The Game 2.0



iOS, Free – £2.99 to remove ads (Philipp Stollenmayer)



Bacon was a game about flipping a slab of pig meat onto objects ranging from the Statue of Liberty to a single skittle.



Unexpectedly, it’s not only incredibly difficult in many cases, but also utterly addictive. Bacon 2.0, currently only available on iOS, serves up unskippable ads after every few attempts, and adds Bacon Studio, in which you can create your own pork-based challenges.



Although a fabulous idea, we found the Studio unintuitive to the point that we couldn’t even put a single level together. The underlying game remains compelling, but only if you’re prepared to pay to remove the ads.



Score: 6/10









Pocket City 2



iOS & Android, £4.99 (Codebrew Games)



SimCity BuildIt’s exploitative microtransactions and relentless entreaties to watch ads are enough to exhaust anyone’s patience. Thank god for Pocket City 2, which brings the spirit of the original SimCity to mobile.



Arriving nearly five years after the original Pocket City, the sequel adds a research tree, much deeper statistical insights into your population, and an elegantly spruced up interface.



It works really well on a touchscreen, letting you dip in for a bit of mayoral action wherever you happen to be. It may only take a few days to occupy most of the available space in your starter city, but the map itself is vast, letting you experiment with different conurbations across its varied terrain.



Score: 8/10









Worms WMD: Mobilise



iOS & Android, £4.99 (Team17)



The latest in a franchise that dates back to before the original PlayStation, Worms WMD fortunately eschews the series’ dreadful flirtation with 3D, returning to its good old 2D roots, and adding a fair few twists of its own.



The biggest of those is the addition of vehicles, which in keeping with Worms tradition are massively over-powered and somewhat wobbly to control, making it all too easy to unleash Armageddon on your own team.



There are also defensive fortifications with fully formed interiors to explore and exploit, and while the core gameplay varies very little from classic Worms, it would be hard not to view that as a good thing. The vitally important online and local multiplayer is fortunately fully intact. 7/10









Call Of Dragons



iOS & Android, free (Farlight)



Free-to-play MMOs like Call Of Dragons are pretty divisive. On one hand their consistent, steady sense of progress and continual rewards supply a stream of carefully engineered dopamine hits. While on the other, this is the video game equivalent of fast food – frictionless, easily digested, but deleterious to your health if you consume too much.



Battles are in real-time and especially when you’ve gained a bit of power, have a small degree of tactical interest in that you can position units to surround enemies. Other than that, this is a game of wait timers and loot crates, with a strong slant towards joining an alliance, both for building and defending it, and raiding others nearby.



As is traditional, the opening hours provide rapid upgrades, before slowing things down to encourage you to spend money. You and your alliance will also regularly find yourself at the mercy of bullying, big spending whales, but at least you’re not forced to watch any ads.



Score: 4/10









Summon Quest



iOS, Apple Arcade subscription (Apple)



Although it shares some of its DNA with Archero, a title that seems to have spawned legions of imitations recent, Summon Quest adds a lot of its own ideas, from a 3D isometric view of its variably shaped arenas to a greater reliance on obstacles and moveable barriers.



Even though this has the feel of a game originally built for freemium, and later converted to being genuinely free for Apple Arcade, it manages to be reasonably challenging, your upgrades sincerely needed to progress through its levels. It’s also the only game we’ve come across where you can level up the protagonist’s hairstyle.



There’s not much punishment for dying, other than having to replay the current map, but its exceptional level of polish and a clearly talented art department make it a tempting distraction.



Score: 7/10
