The top 10 best new mobile games for your phone - September 2020 Edition

Mousebusters is more than meets the eye - you can become a ghostbusting mouse, set in a retro-styled world that’s quite cute, until monsters start appearing, trying to drag humans away and destroy other mice. The game itself is dark underneath the more cute exterior - with a lot of charm in it’s creation. Mousebusters is almost like an early Nintendo game, back in the old days of pixel art characters and strange stories.

Lately I have seen more board game adaptations come to mobile, which is great when it comes to being able to play the board games you love, without having to convince everyone to come to your house. Root is a board game that is held above many others and the digitial form really does the game justice. Depending on how you play, there are different factions who each have their own game mechanics, adding a bunch of different playstyles for this game.

Auto Brawl Chess is a new take on the game Chess, adding autobattling and RPG into the base concept. Through crafting and enchanting, you can build your team up then place them on your chess board and see how well they do, taking on the other team on the other side of the board. Auto Brawl Chess has a lot of character combining to build up stronger characters, which is the most important key in staying alive.

OLO Loco is a very sleek shuffleboard and chess mash up, where you need to strategize before launching a colorful circle into the endzone of the other player. It’s a turn-based game where you can either keep focusing only getting your dots into the other area or knocking your enemies dots out of yours. Your circles come in different sizes, being randomly given to you, so you will need to decide what the best course of action is.

Colorful and cute, Pako Caravan is a take on snake where you are able to pick up a bunch of caravans, adding them to your train, while avoiding other cars, trees, signs, lamp posts, bins and more. The land you are traveling around is quite small, so you do need to take care not to fall off. I quite like the colorful nature of this game - it’s just so full of juicy animations and color it’s amazing.

Murderous Pursuits is a mysterious, narrative based game that takes place in a Victorian styled, time-traveling airship, where you need to kill 7 people and not get caught while you do it! Taking a new twist on a murder mystery, you are given targets and assignments and then need to track down those individuals, isolate them and kill them during their time on the ship. There are a lot of tactics to killing the people you are assigned, as well as people looking to punish bad behavior!

A Monster’s Expedition is a beautiful puzzle game just full of humor and fun. You play as a monster who is exploring an outdoor museum of old human items, with wacky names and silly descriptions. The puzzles take place on a bunch of little islands, giving you the ability to pick your path as if an island is too challenging, you can easily go back and pick a new path. Moving trees, avoiding rocks, crafting rafts and more - it’s so much fun.

Though it may look simple, Rip Them Off is a really well made tower defense game where you need to follow the paths of consumers, enticing them in with whatever they most love. You will be placing products in their path as they walk down the street, and sometimes they will end up going into buildings they find enticing, spending money - which is the ultimate goal. Though this is oddly strange to see, as someone who does go into shops that have great window displays, it’s so fun to play.

Terafyn is a very well designed fantasy RPG where you are able to battle against others, explore a huge world, collect cards and items, team up with people you meet and do much more. It’s a captivating game that easily pulls you into the story, as you select who you want to team up with, what quests you want to go on, and deal with the unknown as it comes up. The game also features a spinner when it comes to card battles, giving it a unique feeling.

This action packed game with tons of fights and challenges all takes place in an anime-styled world, with colorful characters and interesting creatures to boot. You’ll get to become Reycho, a new addition to the Go-Getter Club, though you will get to play as other members from time to time. The game is full of cutscenes, decisions to be made, and much more - making it an amazing game for those who like it’s style.
