Android gaming is getting bigger and better every month it seems and there is always a slew of new titles coming to Google Play. Whether you're a casual gamer or you want something with a beat more meat on its bones, there's usually a game coming out to suit everyone's taste. Let's take a look at the best new Android games from the last month!
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
[Price: $4.99]
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a touching platformer-adventure game where you must use two brothers in tandem to overcome obstacles and find the Water of Life to save their ailing father. It features decent graphics, unique controls, and various puzzles that you must overcome. The key dynamic is using both brothers simultaneously in order to solve puzzles and progress forward in the game. It's not overly long, but it's pretty good and it has no in-app purchases.
Heroes of Loot 2
[Price: $4.49]
Heroes of Loot 2 is a hack-and-slash dungeon crawler where you must explore a castle, slay bad guys, and potentially even save a damsel in distress. You'll get to pick two characters from a set of four to take on your quest and each one has different strengths and weaknesses. The game has tons of quests, magic for you to unlock, and some charming retro graphics to boot. The cost may seem high for what it is, but there is a ton of game play here and there are no in-app purchases.
Lifeline: Whiteout
[Price: $2.99]
Lifeline: Whiteout is a text-based adventure game where you must help guide a man to safety. The core premise is that there is a man named Adams who is lost in some Arctic wasteland and his only link to the outside world is you. You're to guide him through various trials and tribulations in order to help him figure out what happened, who he is, and what's going on. It features rich notifications so you can play without opening the app and it has Android Wear support as well.
Mekorama
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
Mekorama is a puzzle game where you must use various angles and movements to solve puzzles and progress to the next level. It's not quite as intricate as something like Monument Valley, but it's a fairly relaxing title that's perfect if you have a few minutes to kill. The graphics are simple as are the controls and you should have no problem jumping right in. The game is completely free to play forever with the in-app purchases being for optional donations if you choose to reward the developer for their efforts.
Never Alone: Ki Edition
[Price: $4.99]
Never Alone: Ki Edition is actually a port of a game that was released on the NVIDIA Shield Console earlier this year. This touch-screen enabled version is much like the original, where you play as a young girl and her pet fox in order to outsmart enemies, solve puzzles, and move through levels. It bills itself as an atmospheric puzzle platformer which is about as accurate of a description as you can get. It has decent graphics, fun mechanics, and a touching storyline. It also has no in-app purchases.
Rodeo Stampede
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
Rodeo Stampede is a freemium infinite runner game where you must lasso animals and jump between them in order to progress through the game. It's made by the same company that did Crossy Road and you'll see the similarities in both game play and graphics. During your adventures, you'll befriend animals which are then displayed in a digital zoo for other players to view, and there are you can earn rewards from visitors based on how good your little zoo is. It's free to play with in-app purchases, and not a bad way to kill some time.
Goat Simulator Waste of Space
[Price: $4.99]
Goat Simulator is back with yet another ridiculous game that simulates the actual life of a real goat. Or something like that. This game features most of the same game play elements from prior games, except this one allows you to actually build a space colony for you to rampage through. It features the largest map of any Goat Simulator game, various items and perks for you to unlock, and plenty of hilarity and mayhem to get yourself into. Much like the other games in the series, you'll either really like it or really hate it.
Sky Force Reloaded
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
Sky Force Reloaded is a top-down shooter that channels the good old top-down shooters of old. You'll control a ship and fly around levels in order to kill bad guys, save people trapped on the ground, and dodge enemy fire. It has colorful, above average graphics that do a good job of looking fantastic while also creating chaotic scenes for you to deal with. The mechanics are simple enough and it takes quite a long time in order to finish the game. It is a freemium title but it doesn't seem to be as aggressive about it as other titles generally are.
Skater
[Price: $4.99]
Skater is, you guessed it, a skateboarding game that the developers boast was created by skaters, for skaters. It plays like other skateboarding games where you play as a disembodied skateboard and your finger motions determine which tricks you do, what direction you travel, and how fast you go. It features character customization, tons of places to skate, and fairly simple controls. This one is still wrestling with some early bugs, but it's not bad overall.
VOEZ
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
VOEZ is a rhythm game and one of only a few rhythm games that are actually any good. In this one, you'll play a variety of songs where you must tap, swipe, and hold at the appropriate times get combos and rack up points. It has a perfunctory storyline about a girl and her friends who want to create a band. The game play is simple to learn and the graphics, while simple, are utterly gorgeous. The mixture of the two creates an immersive gaming experience that's actually rather enjoyable. The in-app purchases allow you to purchase DLC, which is one of the few in-app purchases that don't suck.
