Vikingard

NetEase's Viking-themed RPG combines casual gameplay with a realistic simulation that lets players live the Norseman life on mobile. Players will have to reclaim lands, engage in thrilling brawls or go for an idyllic farm life by growing crops. More than showing off their pride and might on the battlefield alongside valiant Valkyries, they can also find a mate, build a home, start a family and sire the next heir that will take over leadership of the tribe.

Players can also enjoy fully developed characters, dynamic gameplay and engaging narratives on their Viking voyage. Plus, they can put their teamwork to the test with other like-minded individuals across the globe in tactical Alliance Clashes.

Cat Museum

Available on: iOS + Android + Steam
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle

Cat Museum

Based on visuals alone, Cat Museum looks to be an intriguing journey into the bizarre and the surreal. The 2D side-scrolling puzzle adventure lets you solve odd puzzles alongside equally odd cats, but as you dive deeper into the museum of cat companions, you also discover strange truths about your own past.

The game does feature pretty creepy stuff, so it sets itself apart both from a visual standpoint and with its subject matter. For instance, the game starts with the main protagonist falling through a wardrobe, where he feels a mysterious and faint breathing sound underneath - you'll just have to play through the game to figure it all out. The prologue is free-to-play, but the full game is unlockable at $2.99 or your local equivalent.
