White Night

Android Police coverage: [Hands-on] White Night, a compelling survival horror that uses a minimal color palette as its main mechanic

White Night offers something quite unique. While yes we have seen plenty of games that use a black and white color scheme before, the fact that it is used as a primary mechanic for this survival horror game shows that the developers aren't just trying to cash in on a popular theme. If you enjoy classic survival horror games like Resident Evil or Silent Hill, then White Night should be right up your alley.

Shadow Fight 3

Android Police coverage: NEKKI's latest release 'Shadow Fight 3' is a great looking fighting game hobbled by greed

Shadow Fight 3 is a great looking mobile fighting game that falls flat thanks to its greedy upgrade path. You see, you can only earn so much currency per day in the PvP mode, which means the majority of in-game currency has to be earned through the story mode. The thing is, the story mode is not balanced well as it contains plenty of difficulty spikes that will make progression tough. Essentially you are locked out of earning a lot of currency, which only cements the clear intentions of the developer's nickel and diming ways.

Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs from $3.49 - $119.99

Step into the world of shadows at the time of changes. Reveal all its dark secrets and become the greatest warrior this land has ever seen. In this RPG-fighting game you will take on a role of a hero whose destiny isn't determined yet. How do you see the future? It's your call.

If you happen to own a Nvidia Shield TV, then you are going to want to pick up METAL GEAR SOLID 3 HD for SHIELD TV. It is currently on sale for $9.99, and after playing through a bit, I can assure you it performs well.

SuperTuxKart

I may be a week late, but SuperTuxKart is too good of kart racer just to pass up talking about. It has existed for years as an open-source racing game for Linux, and it would appear that Android has finally gotten a proper release. If you are unfamiliar with the title, it is a kart racing game similar to Mario Kart, in that you race around a track competing with other players online while collecting projectiles to shoot at them as you whiz by.

Monetization: free / no ads / no IAPs

Karts. Nitro. Action. SuperTuxKart is a 3D open-source arcade racer with a variety characters, tracks, and modes to play. Our aim is to create a game that is more fun than realistic, and provide an enjoyable experience for all ages.

Survivor Royale

Buckle in folks because I think we have found the latest genre to start receiving clone after clone on the Play Store. That's right, battle royale games are the latest rage on PC thanks to the popularity of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS. So not only is Survivor Royale a clear clone of the latter, it isn't even the only clone released this week. While this seems to be the best of the bunch, it still pales in comparison to the daddy PC title. Oh, and while in-app purchases are shown as present on the Play Store page, there are clearly none in the game at this time. Of course, I am sure they will be added in soon enough, so get your battle royale gaming in while you can.

Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs ? (not added in yet)

Up to 100 players are spread across a large map. They all begin unarmed, compelled to scavenge for the weapons that are randomly spawned through the area. Over the course of 20 minutes, the playable area contracts, forcing survivors into a fight to the death. Last man standing.

Knives Out-6x6km Battle Royale

Like I said, battle royale games are releasing on the Play Store at breakneck speeds. Knives Out-6x6km Battle Royale is another battle royale release that clones PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS basic gameplay. While this release also is marked as containing in-app purchases, none are currently present. So this is another good choice to play if you are looking for something not yet hobbled by a free-to-play payment structure.

Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs ? (not added in yet)

KNIVES OUT. You are a lone wolf in a 6.4 square kilometer battle royale arena. 100 warriors parachute into the battlefield, but only 1 can walk out alive. 100 players are scattered across a 6400m*6400m deserted area.

The Path to Luma - VR

The Path to Luma - VR is a virtual reality focused puzzle game for Google Daydream compatible devices. It takes the gameplay found in the original mobile title and displays it in a first person view so that you can experience what it is like to navigate the game from a more personal perspective. Best of all it is completely free, so if you own a Daydream headset you shouldn't miss out on this release.

Based on the popular mobile game with the same title, you can now experience The Path to Luma in Virtual Reality. Play the role of SAM, our galaxy-traversing Sustainability Augmentation Model, in this first-person VR puzzle game. Explore a wondrous world and use the power of clean energy technology to restore the planet to its former, sparkling glory.

Space Grunts Free

Space Grunts Free is just that, a free version of Space Grunts. It still contains exactly the same roguelite gameplay, just with advertisements sprinkled here and there. Not too shabby, and a great way to see if the game is worth paying for. While the gameplay can be pretty challenging, that is really just part of the fun.

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

Space Grunts combines fast paced arcade action with turn-based gameplay. The year 2476, Earth's space-federation has been building moon-bases across the galaxy. One of those moon-bases has been sending a distress signal. Space Grunts are a group of intergalactic "problem" solvers, sent to investigate.

MASKED

MASKED plays a lot like The Binding of Isaac, which is excellent since the later title does not yet exist on Android. Currently MASKED is still in beta, so there may still be a few issues with the game. But it is in active development, so all should be alright once the developer gets closer to the final release.

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

Note: This is a early version of the game, which functions as a demo. Full game is still in development. Mask boy is a dungeon crawler which features a boy that is stuck within a state of purgatory.

Bricks

Bricks is a straightforward game that has you matching up similarly colored bricks in order to clear the playing field. While this can be challenging at times, the simple design and basic gameplay leave plenty of room for improvement. But hey, the game is free after all, so why not give it a try and decide for yourself?

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

This is the most addictive bricks game ever. Match bricks of the same color to clear lines. How far can you go?

King Chomp

King Chomp plays a lot like an io multiplayer game, but with the added benefit of colors used as a rock paper scissors mechanic. The color you eat on the playfield will deem who you can easily destroy. Considering that this is a multiplayer focused title with zero in-app purchases, I say this is an excellent alternative to the many io games that already exist on the Play Store.

Red Dwarf XII : The Game

Red Dwarf XII : The Game ties directly into the famed British science fiction comedy franchise which primarily consists of a television sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999. This is an endless runner at its core, so it doesn't really offer anything we haven't seen before, though it is nice to see the license used in some way.

Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs $0.99 a piece

Red Dwarf XII : The Game is an action-packed mobile game that ties in with series XII of the multi-award winning TV show. Take command of the mining ship Red Dwarf and follow the characters on a journey through deep space, trying to find earth.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Classic

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Classic replaces the paid version of Sonic 2 on the Play Store, thus negating Sega's responsibility to their customers to keep their older paid app updated and compatible. Instead, anyone who already purchased the game gets a chance to buy it all over again. How thoughtful of Sega to shaft those that have supported them in the past.

Legend of the Skyfish Zero

Legend of the Skyfish Zero is a free version of Legend of the Skyfish. This means there are advertisements found in this action adventure puzzle game, though they can be removed through an in-app purchase. Basically, this release is a great way to try out the game before deciding if you want to spend your money on it, which is pretty commendable.

Fishing Simulator - Hook & Catch

While there is no shortage of fishing games on the Play Store, finding one of quality can still be pretty tricky. That is why I am happy to see the release of Fishing Simulator - Hook & Catch. While it plays mostly as you would expect, the fact that there are very few in-app purchases makes this a contender for one of the better fishing games on Android.

Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs from $0.99 - $6.99

Rez Infinite

Rez Infinite is one of the games I have been waiting for ages to see released on Android. The thing is this on-rails shooter release is kind of bittersweet thanks to this version of Rez Infinite existing as a VR only title intended to be played on Daydream compatible devices. While it's still great to see that the game is available, I really wish we could get a regular version that doesn't require a VR headset.

Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs $9.99 a piece

Flight

Flight is a simple game where you want to throw a paper plane as far as you can. This is, of course, easier said than done, but that's what keeps the gameplay challenging. Basically, this used to be a web-based game that has only recently been ported to Android. So while the experience is a little thin, the gameplay can be great for a few rounds of play while waiting for something better to do.

SkidStorm

SkidStorm is a top-down racer that has you drifting around corners like a madman. There is a single player mode for those that do not enjoy multiplayer gameplay, though I think it is fair to say that the core focus of this title is the fact that you can race against other players online. Luckily the in-app purchases do not appear to be too egregious, so you may actually find a fair multiplayer experience within.

∞ Infinity Loop: ENERGY

Luckily you are not helpless, as you can use your environment to your advantage by either utilizing the many weapons you find lying around or by devilishly having those zombies chase you through areas that will harm them.

Lineage 2: Revolution

People have been waiting for the release of Lineage 2: Revolution for quite a while. Now that it is out, it is clear this is nothing like the PC version, but more an autoplay facsimile for mobile. If you enjoy watching a game play itself, this is the game for you. If not, then yeah, you are out of luck as there is very little offered in this MMORPG that even resembles a game worth playing.

AdVenture Communist

Mighty Battles is the latest Clash Royale clone to arrive on the Play Store. What is interesting is that it offers a turret on your base, which gives the game something of a different feel.

Beasts Evolved: Skirmish is another monster collection game that does little to differentiate itself from the masses.

WTF Game Of The Week

Virtual Sister Family Simulator

Virtual Sister Family Simulator is such a ridiculous concept for a game I just had to include as this week's WTF listing. I mean sure, this is yet another release from some Russian or Chinese mobile game farm that only uses basic assets, but why in the world did they choose this particular theme? I suppose there are some keywords that are supposed to attract some type of customer, but for the life of me I can't figure out who that would be.
