AdInMo’s Top 10 Games from Pocket Gamer Launchpad #5

Ranging from the familiar to the obscure, from the weird to the wonderful, and most things in between, we’ve compiled our 10 favourite games from the latest edition of Pocket Gamer’s Launchpad, an event which showcases new and soon-to-be-released mobile games.

9: Zombie Soup

Developer: AeonSparx Interactive

Platform: Android/IOS/PC

Release: Coming Soon

An eye-popping top-down shooter that pits the player against a horde of cartoony-yet-terrifying undead, Zombie Soup looks set to deliver explosive thrills as well as a healthy dose of atmosphere when it blasts its way onto mobile soon. The short trailer shown at Launchpad showcased some story elements, evasive movement options, and a boss called ‘Fisher Dave, Crazy Fishmonger’. Clearly a Game of the Year candidate based on that alone.

7: Storybook Brawl

Developer: Good Luck Games

Platform: Android/IOS/PC

Release: Coming Soon (Android/IOS) Out Now! (PC)

An auto-battler in the vein of DOTA auto-chess and Hearthstone’s Battlegrounds mode, Storybook Brawl applies a fun fairytale filter to the genre, letting players draft their favourite characters from their favourite stories, and watch them battle it out against the armies of seven other players for ultimate victory. This game has become a firm favourite among many seasoned card game veterans during it’s time on PC, and it should prove even more successful on mobile, where the auto-battler genre thrives.

5: Sparklite

Developer: Red Blue Games

Platform: Android/IOS/PC/Console

Release: Coming Soon (Mobile), Out Now! (PC/Console)

A bold adventure game drawing on the age-old traditions of The Legend of Zelda, and the modern advent of procedural world generation, Sparklite has delivered a colourful, action-packed experience for PC and Console players since 2019, and now it’s ready to do the same for mobile platforms! With promises of a control scheme optimised to best make use of the small screen, Sparklite looks to be a great time when it makes its mobile debut soon.

3: My Child Lebensborn

Developer: Sarepta Studio

Platform: Android/IOS/PC/Console

Release: Out Now!

Following the story of one of the Lebensborn, children specially bred within the Nazi guidelines of purity during WW2, My Child Lebensborn delivers an emotionally-charged narrative experience that tasks you with serving as a guardian to this child, helping them to navigate the landscape of anger and hatred they’ve been forced to grow up in following Germany’s defeat in the war. It’s available on all platforms, but it’s simple decision-based gameplay feels most at home on mobile devices.
