Android Game News July 12 – 17: Crash Bandicoot Mobile Debut & More



It’s been a pretty good week for mobile games with both some interesting and unforeseen announcements (like the official announcement of Crash Bandicoot: On The Run!) as well some new game releases.

A Crash Bandicoot mobile game is not exactly a surprise to some. A little earlier this year the game went into a soft launch outside of the US. At that time King had not officially said anything about the game. Even earlier than that screenshots of the game had leaked.

So for the most part some players knew it was coming. This past week is the first time King has made a public announcement however.

Crash Bandicoot: One The Run! is available for pre-registration

Although the game isn’t available officially yet, it’s now up for pre-registration in the US and globally. This means that sometime in the near future you’ll be able to dive into an all new Crash adventure.

This is an endless runner-style game so it won’t be quite like the titles from the regular series PlayStation. It does still have some similarities though and a slightly familiar gameplay feel.

You’ll also be able to encounter many of the recognizable characters from the regular games, like Dr. Neo Crotex, Coco, and of course Crash. While Crash Bandicoot is the main character and you’ll be using him to run through each level, Coco Bandicoot will hold down the base of operations.

As you progress through the game you can upgrade the base by expanding it, which will earn you new stuff to help you through the rest of your journey.

If you’re interested in pre-registering for Crash Bandicoot: On The Run!, you can do so on the Play Store now.

Tales Of Crestoria is a JRPG with some excellent looking graphics, featuring gacha mechanics for collecting new characters from across the different titles in the series.

The first time you boot up the game you’ll be treated to a nice anime intro for the game. Better yet, when you actually get to the gameplay part you’ll get one free summon. What’s more is that you get to choose any one of the characters you want.

There’s a ton of them, so scroll through the list and choose wisely. Because that very first summon is the only time you will get to choose the character and every time thereafter is random.

While this is a fairly big JRPG with a long enough story, it’s not open-world and you can’t really explore. Missions are more on rails and you start them from the map like you would on many of the mobile action RPGs that are there. That’s not really a huge issue though, as the game is fun to play.

Through and through Tales Of Crestoria is a top-tier gaming experience on mobile for JRPG fans. And it’s definitely worth picking it up especially since it’s free.

Anime MMO ‘SoulWorker’ is getting a mobile game called SoulWorker Anime Legends

If you play games on PC and you like MMOs, then you may have already heard of SoulWorker. It’s an anime action MMO with some pretty slick combat and of course, anime graphics.

Earlier this week the game’s developers announced that they would officially be releasing a mobile version of SoulWorker called SoulWorker: Anime Legends. The game is slated to be released onto Android sometime in July. There’s only a couple of weeks left of the month, so the game should be arriving relatively soon.

SoulWorker: Anime Legends will feature six different character classes for players to choose from. The game also appears to be pretty similar to the PC version of the game. Though it may not be exactly the same and will probably have a different story as this isn’t supposed to be a port of the original game.
