Hello, and welcome back to reality, beloved readers. Whether you were celebrating the Christmas period or not last week, you'll probably have noticed things were a little quiet in the mobile world.

Well, since the period following the App Store shutdown is always a little quiet we don't have the huge list of brand new titles we usually have, but that's okay.

Between new Switch games, the few notable new games to come out this week, and a handful from over the holiday period, I'm sure something might still catch your eye.

iOS/Android/AR

Antihero

  • Publisher: Versus Evil
  • Platform: iOS/Android
  • Price: £4.99/$4.99

Take to the streets of a gas-lit Victorian underworld and become a fear (and revered) master thief in addictive digital board game.

Cinco Paus
  • Publisher: Michael Brough
  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: £4.99/$4.99

This weird, challenging roguelike intentionally messes with by -erm - displaying only in Portuguese. Of course, if you can speak the language it's no big whoop, but for those who can't it's twice the challenge and twice the fun.

Crush Escape
  • Publisher: ZPLAY
  • Platform: iOS/Android
  • Price: F2P

Move different blocks across the map as you push through obstacles to meet your destination. This simple little puzzler is easy to learn, easy to pick up, and fun to play.

Duper Bros!
  • Publisher: Konstantinos Papadakis
  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: £1.99/$1.99

Duper Bros! is a pixel-based 2D platformer which may look a little familiar. I'd assumed inspired at the very least by those two Italian plumbers, you've got to hop along obstacles, hit magic boxes, collect coins, and watch out for enemies.

Planetarium 2 - Zen Odyssey

Remote control a huge variety of vehicles and bring them into the real world in this RC simulator. Thanks to the wonders of augmented reality, you can now take your vehicles wherever you go and enjoy a realistic experience without the risk of getting kicked out of the supermarket - or, wherever else you like driving your RC cars.

Shurado
  • Publisher: Ganbarion Co.
  • Platform: iOS/Android
  • Price: F2P

Fight your way through an endless hellscape, take on major enemies, use over 80 types of weapons, and more in this autorunning battler. Don't fool yourself into thinking the game'll do ALL of the work for you, though. It's down to you to read your enemy and, y'know, try not to be murdered.

  • Price: £1.99/$1.99
