Descended from the classic "Worms" multiplayer artillery game. Personally, I've only got vague memories of playing shareware Scorched Earth.

Arcanists 2 feels like a bigger variety of attacks and effects than just projectiles and explosives. Movement, minions, blocking, and even "rocket jumps" are important.

It can be played from the browser, PC application, and Android after downloading and installing APK file. A slight struggle for the APK, had to extract the ZIP from Files application first, then install with another!

Lot of people have been enjoying the multiplayer and I've heard no complaints. I've only completed the tutorial; the game is a bit unpolished but seems to be playtested enough to have a robust community.

Well, here's a game I haven't even tried yet, but several people I know are going to test out the launch: [https://ravendawn.online/en](Ravendawn Online)

It's a free MMORPG, but I'm assuming I'd quit once the $8 per month subscription becomes too much of an advantage. So perhaps think of it like a cheap paid MMO. I guess the key will be if they introduce pay to win for gameplay advantages.

It's launching today, if you're trying it let me know what you think!

Haven't played this one in years, thought it was cancelled but it's still running! "Blue Manchu sold Card Hunters to new developers The Knights of Unity!"? This is according to fictional in-game GM "Gary". There's a tiny bit of voice acting. Card Hunter just turned 10 years old. It is a meta-"tabletop RPG" on your computer, and actually combines strategy, deck-building, and dice-rolling.

Now it looks like it's Steam only, was there a web version before? The important thing is, my old account name and password still worked! Free to download and start. The "pay to win" currency is "Pizza Slices", regular currency is gold.

You have a 3-man/elf/dwarf party, each can equip weapons, armor, and skills of various rarity. Weapons provide 6 cards each, others 3 cards. Looks like about 36 cards per character. You can also save and reload your character / equipment loadout.

You explore "dungeons" to unlock more of the map, gain experience and gold. These look like square-grid tabletop miniature boards. By playing the available cards from your 3 characters, you move around the board or attack. Each side (you vs. monsters) alternates play, one card at a time. When you have no more cards to play, you can end the round and new cards are drawn. Dice are rolled for attacks and defense, affected by the attack and defense cards; some attacks cannot be blocked, depending on the direction the miniature is facing. There are also different types of damage and resistance.

Some premium dungeons locked with "Pizza Slices". There are also "campaigns" with a few battles in series, and specific rewards at the end. Most dungeons can be replayed, but might not be rewarding beyond the fun of playing.

There is multiplayer! Usually you'd battle 1v1 for more treasure chests, but there is also co-op for the dungeons. Looks like a small player count, these are gonna be the hardcore veterans!

This is a very good free game.

So, I just played Unciv before and never bought the actual series. Figured I'd mention them since I see a sale is on right now. Apparently people have a lot of opinions on which is better.

Having to install through Steam, and then link through 2k games is weird. Indie games have it right, no linking and background apps!

Life in Adventure is a simplified text-based RPG on Android. You've got a portrait, hit-points, sanity, 6 stats. You've got gold, a small inventory, also one armor and one weapon slot which add to your "combat power".

There are 100+ pre-written encounters, often with a unique picture. You're given a few choices at each step, with success percentages listed when they depend on stats. Often you'll get a choice to begin combat, or run away. At the start of combat, you get an estimated chance of victory, and a choice to roll the 20-sided die to modify that chance. Combat is not interactive, you pit your combat power against the enemy power until one side is defeated. Defeat means a loss of health and sanity, when you run out it is "Like Every Other Death".

There are "gems" for monetization and as a reward for discovering new items and monsters. Number of things to discover:

• 131 Epilogues
• 160 Monsters
• 257 Items
• 33 Achievements
