New iOS and Android games out this week - May 5
Battle Bay, Blitz Brigade: Rival Tactics, Gladiator Heroes and more
Hello and welcome to our weekly round-up of the latest game releases to hit the App Store and Google Play Store.
What follows is a round-up of some of the most interesting new iOS and Android releases of the week.
We don't know whether they're all any good at this point, but never mind about that. We'll be running through some of the better games of the week in a few day's time.
For now, here's what's new.
Battle BayBy Rovio - download on iOS / download on Android
A new game from Rovio - and there isn't an angry bird in sight. Battle Bay is an F2P real-time multiplayer battler set at sea.
Blitz Brigade: Rival TacticsBy Gameloft - download on iOS / download on Android
The original Blitz Brigade was an entertaining team-based FPS. This one is more of a Clash Royale type affair with tactical, real-time combat.
Neogen Beatz
By ArmNomads - download on iOS / download on Android
A trippy-looking beat-matching game that lets you import your own music to play with.
rvlvr.
By Frosty Pop Corps - download on iOS
This looks like the latest in a long line of impossibly stylish minimalist mobile puzzlers. Rotate a bunch of rings to transfer dots and match the formation at the top of the screen.
By Devolver Digital - buy on iOS / buy on Android
A bizarre clicker that sees you venturing out into the void of space and exploring unknown planets using drones, satellites and the like.
Louie LuchaBy Fodder Pop - download on iOS
In this entertaining-looking arcade game, rhythm action meets wrestling. And I don't get to write that very often.
Ever KnightBy Foolish Mortal - buy on iOS
An interesting twist on the one-touch arcade game that sees you poking and swiping the screen to attack across several lanes.
Home Run HighBy Kairosoft - download on iOS / download on Android
Kairosoft applies its distinctively cute brand of management sim to baseball.
LightseekersBy PlayFusion - download on iOS / download on Android
This mixture of physical card battler, epic RPG, and augmented reality (there are physical trading cards and action figures) has us intrigued.
Gladiator HeroesBy Genera Games - download on iOS / download on Android
We've been waiting for this one for ages. It looks to combine buildy-management stuff with strategic battling as you grow a powerful empire based on gladiatorial combat.
