Landing on both iOS and Android devices tomorrow, this strategic puzzle RPG boasts unique gameplay mechanics in that you'll have to slide tiles across a chess-like board to defeat your foes. There are over 150 heroes to collect, each with their own special abilities, team synergies, colour/element buffs and stunning character designs.
Apart from upgrading your champions to clear the main campaign, you can also take part in guilds as well as put your mettle to the test in weekly events and co-op raids. If you're confident enough in your skills, you can even try to climb the Dragonspire and aim for the top of the leaderboards for the ultimate bragging rights.

Marvel Snap
Has Nick Fury truly been replaced as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Did Samuel L. Jackson reprise his role in the MCU only to be kicked off the corporate ladder by an overly eager fan? You can discover exactly why and how this all happened by checking out Marvel Snap, the brand-new card game that boasts fast-paced battles across a vast roster of Marvel characters.
The game lets players collect their favourite heroes and villains with gorgeous artwork and use these cards to duke it out with others online. Games are fast and "snappy", with each match lasting for only three minutes or so across more than 50 locations from the Daily Bugle to the Danger Room.

MementoMori
This AFK RPG features stunning artwork and an accessible idle system that lets players reap the rewards of their efforts even when they're logged off the game. Auto-battles aside, the combat animations use gorgeous Live2D effects that immerse players even more into the game's narrative.
Unique to the game are the "Laments" that tell the tale of each female character's tragic past. These songs are performed by renowned artists as well to ensure the emotional impact of every melody.
