September 11th 2023.
September marks the return to the school year, which can be cause for celebration or dread depending on who you are. But no matter your feeling on the matter, this month has plenty of great mobile games to distract you from the back-to-school blues.
From the wacky and wonderful Pizza Hero to the surprisingly delightful City Gridlock, there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for an action RPG, you can’t go wrong with Darkrise – Pixel Action RPG. You’ll be able to choose between playing as a mage, warrior, archer or rogue and explore the pixellated landscapes in search of monsters and loot. The combat is basic and the interface is a bit rough, but it’s still an enjoyable game.
If you’re looking for a game of traffic management, City Gridlock is the game for you. You’ll need to use signs and traffic lights to make drivers’ journeys as efficient as possible. It’s a surprisingly complex game and its music is a bit hectic, but it certainly delivers.
Samba De Amigo: Party-to-Go is a great way to experience the classic arcade and Dreamcast title. Instead of using a pair of maracas, you’ll need to tap circles on the screen. You’ll also need to slide your thumbs across the screen and press and hold to strike poses, which is made easier by the game’s generous ‘perfect’ ratings.
Pizza Hero is reminiscent of Vampire Survivor, but instead of being a vampire hunter, you’re a slice of pizza. Your job is to avoid waves of enemies and collect goodies that they drop. The monetization can be a bit heavy-handed, but the game is still well-balanced and enjoyable.
War Thunder Mobile is the free-to-play console and PC war game that has finally made its way to mobile. You can be a tank driver or ship’s captain in games of 5 vs 5 rounds. The action can be a bit slow, but the game is still fun. Unfortunately, the constant entreaties to spend money mean that you can quickly be priced out of the fun.
Finally, Tiny Pharaoh: Pixel Strategy casts you as a master builder in Ancient Egypt. You’ll need to gather resources in real-time, build interdependent structures, and interact with various geographical features. It’s a great game and it’s absolutely free with no in-app purchases or advertising.
September is a great month for mobile gaming, with something for everyone. So, if you’re feeling the back-to-school blues, there’s no better time to take a break and enjoy some of the best games the mobile world has to offer.
