The Final Fantasy IV pixel remaster lands on Android, but it will cost you

This story was originally published and last updated . 

Last month Square Enix released the first three pixel remasters for the Final Fantasy series on the Play Store. These remasters aren't cheap, and seeing that the first two replaced games many of us had already paid for, these pixel remasters are difficult to get excited for. In Final Fantasy IV's case, the only way to play on Android is through the 3D remake ported from the Nintendo DS, which is still available but does not offer the pixel design of the original SNES game (known as FF II in the US).

Marvel Future Revolution looks so premium that you can almost excuse the F2P nonsense
Until you're asked to pay, of course

Marvel Future Revolution looks so premium that you can almost excuse the F2P nonsense

At the end of last month, it was revealed that Marvel Future Revolution would land on mobile on August 25th. That day is today, and so Marvel's latest free-to-play RPG is finally available on both Android and iOS. Much like how Genshin Impact, NieR Re[in]carnation, and Sky: Children of the Light raised the bar for the quality of mobile games, Marvel Future Revolution is a highly polished release, at least as far as the presentation goes. At its core, Future Revolution is a brawler, though RPG mechanics are included, which is where all those pesky free-to-play mechanics rear their ugly heads.

One of the best indie real-time strategy games released in the last few years lands on Android today
Northgard holds its own against CIV 6

One of the best indie real-time strategy games released in the last few years lands on Android today

Back in June, the release date for the Android port of Northgard was revealed in a YouTube trailer. This popular indie strategy game had already made its way to iOS in April but is only just now landing on Android. Despite the late arrival, the Android port is pretty good, offering acceptable performance, a reworked UI for touchscreen play, and there's even optional DLC available for those looking to extend Northgard's RTS gameplay. It's an acceptable port that should offer hours of fun, and it's currently on sale for 30% off.

Rush Rally Origins forgoes the typical mobile junk to offer one of the best racers on Android, and it's out today
A challenging rally racer that shouldn't be missed

Rush Rally Origins forgoes the typical mobile junk to offer one of the best racers on Android, and it's out today

This story was originally published and last updated . 

It's official, a new Rush Rally is coming to Android, and it recently entered into pre-registration on the Play Store. This is the long-awaited follow-up to Brownmonster Limited's Rush Rally 3, and this time around, everyone can expect a top-down racer. While we don't yet know when the game will be released, the fact it's finally available for pre-registration should signal that we are at the very least nearing that unannounced release date, which is good news for all of you racing fans out there.

Mega Man X blasts his way onto Android in the latest chapter of the classic platforming series
Mega Man X DiVe sure looks the part, but it's still a gacha game

Mega Man X blasts his way onto Android in the latest chapter of the classic platforming series

We first learned about the existence of Mega Man X DiVe, thanks to a beta test back in 2019. Little was known about the game at the time, but this shooter was eventually released in Asia in 2020, revealing everything we needed to know about this free-to-play gacha game. Well, it would seem Mega Man X DiVe has been successful enough to warrant an English translation for the West, and so Mega Man X DiVe has been available in pre-registration since last month. Despite the fact the developer never bothered to offer a release date for the West, it would appear today is the day, though you'll have to wait until 10 AM EDT for the servers to go live.

My Friend Pedro lands on Android as a slingshot-based platformer, and it's pretty good
It's a new mobile-optimized game, not a port of the original

My Friend Pedro lands on Android as a slingshot-based platformer, and it's pretty good

This story was originally published and last updated . 

My Friend Pedro is a Devolver Digital game focusing on tight, visceral combat, stylized visuals, and a trippy hallucinogenic story. And because that describes about 95% of Devolver Digital games: this is the one with a banana in it. The game got rave reviews when it released on PC and consoles back in 2019, and now there's a mobile version coming to Android.

My Time at Portia is basically 3D Stardew Valley, and the Android port is solid
Best of all, it's on sale for a limited time

My Time at Portia is basically 3D Stardew Valley, and the Android port is solid

If you haven't heard of it, My Time at Portia is an indie farming/life simulation game that offers gameplay similar to Story of Seasons and Animal Crossing, where you'll befriend villagers, plant crops, hunt for loot, and craft all kinds of objects. It's available on consoles and PC, having built up a solid fanbase, and today marks the release on mobile. Best of all, the game is currently on sale, which means you can snag your copy for $5.49 (normally $7.99). Not bad, though there are a few caveats included, which I've detailed below.

NieR Re[in]carnation lands on Android with one small caveat
You can't play yet, but the servers should go live soon

NieR Re[in]carnation lands on Android with one small caveat

We've known for a while that NieR Re[in]carnation would land on Android on July 28th, but thanks to a recent tweet that hinted at a delay, some were left wondering when the game would actually launch. Well, right now, you can indeed install the title from the Play Store, though the servers aren't live just yet, which is why you'll be treated to a splash screen that says as much once you boot into the game. Still, this pop-up states the game will either be playable this afternoon or evening, so NieR Re[in]carnation should go live soon enough.

Trials of Mana lands on Android a day early, but something's missing
Where's the controller support?

Trials of Mana lands on Android a day early, but something's missing

It would seem Square Enix still insists on making release announcements in the West using Japanese dates, which is a day ahead of the US. This is how previously announced dates, such as the July 15th date for the mobile version of Trials of Mana, end up getting released a day ahead of the actual announced time. And so, Trials of Mana is now available on the Play Store, and since this is a premium release, you can pick it up for $23.99.

Feral Interactive has just announced that it's bringing the XCOM 2 Collection to Android, now that the game has been available on iOS for the past seven months.
