Dragon Coins is a weird mash-up of seaside gambling machines and monster-battling RPGs for iPad and iPhone

We've had match-3 RPGs, we've had dice-rolling RPGs, and now in Dragon Coins, we have a coin pusher RPG. And yes, it's every bit as stupid as it sounds.

The game hails from Sega and sees you dropping coins into an arcade-style penny pusher to try and nudge other coins into your team of monsters along the bottom of the screen.

Plop a coin in the right place and that member of your team will whomp whatever monster you're having a scrap with at the time.

It's sort of like Pokémon meets a depressing, damp family holiday in Bridlington. But with more cartoon graphics and less chips.

The game is out right now on the App Store, and it won't cost you a thing to play. It's sort of worth it just to see how odd it is really.
