A first detailed look at combat and exploration

Dungeons of Hinterburg Releases 15 Minute Gameplay Showcase

<p>I came across the idea of solarpunk in a video by DamiLee. It’s a movement that envisions an optimistic future for humanity — where technology is in the service of sustainability instead of the unconstrained, algorithm-fueled spending that we’re in now.</p>

<p>So I rummage our database to find games that, in one form or another, closely resemble the ideals of solarpunk. Here are 10 of them.</p> 

<p>This is not a comprehensive list. If you have one in mind, we’d love to hear about it. Please share it in the comment section.</p>

<h2>1. Terra Nil</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/terra-nil/" title="Terra Nil PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/terra-nil/" title="Terra Nil Switch game">Switch</a>&mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/terra-nil/" title="Terra Nil Android game">Android</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/terra-nil/" title="Terra Nil iOS game">iOS</a></em></p>  

<p>If solarpunk is all about technology and ecology intertwined, then Terra Nil is the perfect example of it. Your goal is
to clean up a polluted world with different, unlockable techs.</p>

<p>It includes cleaning up soil and water, filtering radioactive wastes, and restoring the biome's flora and fauna. At the
end of every level, you have to pack-up everything you used for the cleanup. It's a game where you don't just heal the
land, you have to make sure that you don't leave any trace.</p>

<h2>2. Cloud Gardens</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/cloud-gardens/" title="Cloud Gardens PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/cloud-gardens/" title="Cloud Gardens Series X game">Series X|S</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/cloud-gardens/" title="Cloud Gardens Switch game">Switch</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/cloud-gardens/" title="Cloud Gardens Xbox One game">Xbox One</a></em></p>


<p>Cloud Gardens is this <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/new/puzzle/">puzzle</a> sim that’s all about plants reclaiming their space in post-apocalyptic Earth.</p>


<p>You start with a blank canvas and your only mission is to help plants take over. It's simple, it's cozy, and the music
is fantastic. It's not as solarpunk as Terra Nil but the image of overgrown, abandoned sections of a city will remind
you of how disruptive humanity is.</p>

<h2>3. Loddlenaut</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/loddlenaut/" title="Loddlenaut PC game">PC</a></em></p>

<p>A powerful, inter-planetary corporation has left a planet polluted and in ruin. It’s up to you to clean up the oceans of
this alien planet.</p>

<p>Loddlenaut is a cute and vibrant <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/new/open-world/">open-world</a> clean-up adventure that will surely tickle your heart. As you clear the sea of debris, you can unlock new cleaning tools and raise aquatic creatures called Loddles.</p>

<h2>4. ABZÛ</h2>

<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/abzu/" title="ABZU PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/abzu/" title="ABZU Switch game">Switch</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/abzu/" title="ABZU PS4 game">PS4</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/abzu/" title="ABZU Xbox One game">Xbox One</a></em></p> 

<p>ABZÛ. This relaxing underwater adventure is all about forging a bond with nature. Dive into the ocean, discover its
ancient secrets, and get to know the creatures that inhabit it. If you’re lucky, you might find the key to restoring the
corrupted ecosystem.</p>

<p>It's a short, relaxing, and beautiful experience that will remind you of games like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/journey/">Journey</a>.</p>

<h2>5. Timberborn</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/timberborn/" title="Timberborn PC game">PC</a></em></p>


<p>Humanity has gone extinct in Timberborn. What remains of Earth is a wasteland.</p>

<p>Lead your beaver faction and restore Earth to what it was before. The game comes with two different factions. If you
play the nature-loving Folktails, then the experience is closer to that of the solarpunk ideals. The game is still in
early access but is already among Steam's top <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/city-building//">city-building games</a>.</p>


<h2>6. My Time At Portia</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time At Portia PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time At Portia Switch game">Switch</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time At Portia Android game">Android</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time at Portia iOS game">iOS</a>&mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time at Portia PS4 game">PS4</a>&mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/my-time-at-portia/" title="My Time at Portia Xbox One game">Xbox One</a></em></p>   


<p>My Time At Portia. I’ve spent hours building, crafting, mining, hunting, and collecting ancient techs on the island of
Portia. But what I found interesting and fun is building relationships with the people of its community. It’s cute,
cozy, and rewarding.</p>

<p>A game set in the same world, My Time At Sandrock, was released in 2023. It includes all the basics of Portia with a
slight change. Your goal now is to save the town from economic ruin. It’s playable on PC and consoles.</p>

<h2>7. No Place Like Home</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/no-place-like-home/" title="No Place Like Home PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/no-place-like-home/" title="No Place Like Home PS5 game">PS5</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/no-place-like-home/" title="No Place Like Home Xbox Series X game">Series X|S</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/no-place-like-home/" title="No Place Like Home Switch game">Switch</a></em></p>

<p>No Place Like Home. After devastating Earth, much of humanity has moved to Mars. You’re one of the few who stayed behind
to restore what’s left our world through tech, smarts, and grit.</p>

<p>Clean, recycle mountains of trash, restore destroyed areas, farm, build a home, and find your grandpa’s missing farm
animals.</p>

<h2>8. Green Project</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/green-project/" title="Green Project PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/green-project/" title="Green Project Android game">Android</a></em></p>

<p>In Green Project, a fungal pandemic has turned Earth into a barren wasteland. You wake up from cryo-sleep 300 years
later and your mission is to bring back our planet’s lost biodiversity. This includes exploring the vast open-world,
growing crops, raising animals, and crafting tools you need to complete your tasks.</p>

<p>It’s available on PC. Although it hasn’t received any new updates yet. The dev did promise a big one this year,
following the release of their second game.</p>

<h2>9. Wildmender</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/wildmender/" title="Wildmender PC game">PC</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/wildmender/" title="Wildmender PS5 game">PS5</a> &mdash;<a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/wildmender/" title="Wildmender Xbox Series X game">Series X|S</a></em></p>

<p>If you’re looking to play with friends, Wildmender supports up to four players.</p>

<p>It’s a gardening sim where you “bring a deserted world back to life.” Your adventure starts on a little oasis in the
middle of an arid land. From here you cultivate the land, craft items, explore the desert and its secrets, expand your
garden, and discover what happened to this world.</p>

<h2>10. ECO</h2>
<p><em><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/eco/" title="ECO PC game">PC</a></em></p>

<p>For an even bigger gaming experience, check out ECO. It’s a global sim game best played on a large multiplayer server.</p>

mechanics in ECO is complex and backed by science. Your actions and interactions with the environment, other players,

<p>Out of just over one thousand Android games we tracked this year, here are the highest-rated based on critic and gamer reviews. Presenting the best Android Games of 2023.</p>


<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/stone-story-rpg/">Stone Story RPG</a></h2>

<p>We open our list with a strange, unique game. Stone Story RPG is not the typical game we see everyday. It’s an AI powered quest where your character does the exploring and combat for you. Don’t mistake this for an idle game. You’re still actively involved with item management to help your little warrior.</p>

<p>With its ASCII art style, there’s a bunch of numbers involved, literally and figuratively. It’s a pretty interesting concept, but it might be too weird and can put off people. A playscore of 8.5.</p>


<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/honkai-star-rail/">Honkai: Star Rail</a></h2>
	
<p>There’s more HoyoVerse material for Android devices this year. If you’re not a fan of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/genshin-impact/">Genshin Impact</a>’s fast-paced combat, Honkai: Star Rail’s methodical turn-based gameplay will pull you in. It’s basically like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/persona-5/">Persona 5</a> with much more ANIME poured in.</p> 

<p>This is a completely different adventure compared to Genshin’s. With a strong focus on science fiction, the characters are almost talking about technology, robots and the future.</p> 

<p>Of course, it’s not a HoyoVerse game without its Gacha. Star Rail lures us to get the best (and cutest) characters with its tried and tested Gacha mechanics. How,ever, this is completely optional; so it’s up to you whether you want to try your luck using your wallet. It has a playscore of 8.5.</p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/ace-racer/">Ace Racer</a></h2>

<p>The hottest racing game on the Google Play Store. Ace Racer is your pocket version of Need For Speed. It doesn’t share the same triple-A standards but offer a complete racing package for car enthusiasts.</p> 

<p>Porsche, Volkswagen, BMW - it's a Candyland for fans of the racing genre. But to get the best wheels in the market, you might have to pray for the RNG gods and take a roll with its gacha elements. In Ace Racer, you’ll need as much luck as driving skills to make the most out of it. It gets a playscore of 8.7.</p>


<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/merge-war/">Merge War: Super Legion Masters</a></h2>

<p>There’s a lot of merge games on the mobile, and we mean it when we say A LOT. From auto chess, merging slimes, dragons, and to training monster pets, Super Legion Masters is an odd, yet content packed game for Android devices.</p> 

<p>Like all the games in this list, this is completely FREE but with one major takeaway: there’s microtransactions. The game is pretty grindy in later levels. So getting the best cards and items begs our wallet’s attention.</p> 

<p>If you can’t get past this grind, you can always opt for offline mode and enjoy your Merge adventure solo. A playscore of 8.7.</p>


<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/rumble-heroes-adventure-rpg/">Rumble Heroes : Adventure RPG</a></h2>
	
<p>This will keep your fingers busy as you expand an empire from nothing. Rumble Heroes is a role-playing adventure that tasks you to save a Princess in distress. It’s not going to be an easy quest. Apart from building your lands, recruiting heroes is also essential for the cause.</p> 

<p>With the power of RNG and a little bit of microtransactions, you can find the best heroes at your beck and call. It’s not the most innovative game in the market, but it’s certainly the strongest of the bunch this year. It has a playscore of 8.7.</p>


<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/pickle-pete-survival-rpg/">Pickle Pete: Survivor</a></h2>

<p>Brotato’s cousin has a lot going on for him this year. Pickle Pete’s survival against an evil swarm is a relentless shooter that doesn’t stop until you’re squished.</p> 

<p>Equipped with an arsenal of heavy firepower and a dodge roll, brave through its gauntlet of powerful enemies and boss fights. The longer the run is, the better the rewards and abilities to unlock. The neat progression system lets you customize your own playstyle from its wide selection of power ups.</p> 

<p>It is an addictive roguelite that’s perfect for Android devices and it receives a playscore of 8.7.</p>


<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/orixo-hex/">Orixo Hex</a></h2>

<p>Orixo Hex is a tricky puzzle game that pokes at your brain. It improves upon the previous title with more complex challenges that will twist your synapses. The rules remain the same: fill all the cells in the correct order.</p> 

<p>With over 100 levels to solve, there’s a lot of variety to its polygonal problems. Thankfully it’s a mobile game where you can just take a break whenever. This is a satisfying brain exercise with a playscore of 8.8.</p>


<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/browndust2/">Browndust2 - Adventure RPG</a></h2>

<p>An extremely well-polished RPG from publisher Neowiz. Browndust2 takes inspiration from popular 2D titles like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, except there are more  pretty girls to play as. It features a gorgeous art style and an easy to learn turn-based combat.</p> 

<p>The major difference in Browndust2 is the gacha elements to get the best characters. There’s certainly a glaring pay-to-win aspect with PvP. If you have the patience, it is possible to improve your characters without spending money. A playscore of 8.8.</p>


<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/lost-in-play/">Lost In Play</a></h2>

<p>Lost In Play is a feel-good adventure about two siblings discovering magic. The premise isn’t too unique if we think about it; where it does well is in presentation. It feels like you’re playing an episode of Gravity Falls or Over The Garden Wall with its familiar 2D art style.</p> 

<p>It’s a point and click adventure so there’s no need to do snazzy combos or endlessly tap. Lost in Play is the kind that eases you into playing with vibrant colors and a wholesome story. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the adventure. You might really get lost while playing. It has a playscore of 8.8.</p>

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/reverse-1999/">Reverse: 1999</a></h2>

<p>The best Android game this year is Reverse: 1999,  another roleplaying game with gacha elements. Yes, this combination of RPG and gacha is really common with mobile games.</p>

<p>Reverse: 1999 takes place in alternate 90s where magic has spread across the land… and there's a lot of cute anime characters to meet.</p>

<p>What sets it apart is that it’s a 2D turn-based game that uses cards for battles. You will need to test your luck with its gacha mechanics. This is the way to unlock and upgrade characters. It’s free-to-play friendly so players can relax as they hop in on their adventures without having to spend any money.</p>

10 Best Android Games of 2023

<p>Mobile gaming continued to carve its own niche in 2023. Out of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/new/" title="New iPhone games">more than 1000 iOS releases</a> we tracked this year, here are the highest-rated based on critic and gamer reviews. Presenting the best iOS games of 2023.</p>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/harry-potter-magic-awakened/">Harry Potter: Magic Awakened</a></h2>

<p>This is a completely different spin on the magical franchise. This is a deck-building adventure taking place in the Harry Potter universe.</p>

<p>Collecting powerful cards means grinding for better rewards. Of course, fans of card games will find this acceptable. But new players might be intimidated with its microtransactions and power creeps. </p>

<p>Even with all that, if you’re a fan of the franchise, there’s a lot of fun to be had. Brew potions, summon monsters, and meeting familiar faces are some of its highlights. It has a playscore of 8.8.</p>


<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/what-the-car/">WHAT THE CAR?</a></h2>

<p>Mobile games enter absurd territory! WHAT THE CAR? is a perfect example. You might be wondering, is it a racing game? The answer is Yes and No. The obvious thing to do when you’re racing a car is to drive but this game does not care.</p>

<p>You can jump, slide, or swim your way across its many levels… as a car. Don’t ask. That’s just how the game works.</p>

<p>Apple Arcade subscribers will find this a delightful surprise with its vibrant levels and humor. A playscore of 8.8.</p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/unpacking/">Unpacking</a></h2>
	
<p>For 10 dollars you can experience this cozy organizing game. Unpacking is all about moving out and unpacking stuff.</p> 

<p>There’s really nothing more to its gameplay, but what surprised me the most is its hidden story. There’s a narrative as you slowly unpack the items. I won’t spoil it for you. For a game that doesn’t involve dialogue, it sure is an interesting direction.</p>

<p>Unpacking is the kind of game to play when you want to relax after a long day. Or revel in the satisfaction of stacking books and objects. It has a playscore of 8.8.</p>


<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/brotato/">Brotato: Premium</a></h2>

<p>Brotato is a perfect game for iOS devices. It doesn’t take too much time and you get just the right dopamine boost. Blowing alien heads is that satisfying. This is really the ideal “turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy” kind of game.</p>

<p>For 5 dollars, this Premium version is a hassle-free purchase if you hate in-game ads. However, a lot of players from the community would advise against it. Since the FREE version offers more options to play. This includes the ability to revive after watching an AD and getting a bunch of talent cards. A playscore of 8.9.</p>


<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/usagi-shima/">Usagi Shina</a></h2>

<p>Bunny-lovers rejoice! This free idle game is all about taking care of these little critters. Usagi Shina takes you to an abandoned island full of these cute furies. You can improve this empty land into a sanctuary for your bunnies to explore and enjoy.</p> 

<p>Discover, take photos, and make friends with a variety of bunnies that visit based on how you’ve decorated and arranged the island. It’s a cozy game built for players who want no stress. It receives a playscore of 8.9.</p>


<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/supercattales-paws/">Super Cat Tales: PAW</a></h2>

<p>If you’re not into bunnies, how about cats? Lead your feline friends as they protect their NEKO island from dangers.</p> 

<p>For a game about cats, it doesn’t try to ruin our day with complicated combat and other tedious gaming tasks. It’s essentially a platformer where you jump, collect things, and reach your goal. Like Super Mario with a lot more meowing involved.</p>

<p>No complicated controls here, just a lot of fun, feline shenanigans. Who knew saving the world could be so adorably whisker-twitching? A playscore of 8.9.</p>

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/ridiculous-fishing-ex/">Ridiculous Fishing EX</a></h2>

<p>Apple Arcade subscribers will have more Ridiculous Fishing with EX. It is a major improvement from its 2013 version. Adding in a slew of new content and gameplay fixes. With all its new stuff, it might even pass off as a Remake.</p> 

<p>Also this is not a true fishing game. The ‘ridiculous’ is there for a reason. You’re not just using your fishing rod to get exotic fishes, you also blow them up in hilarious shooting action. Try it for yourself. A playscore of 9 out of 10.</p>


<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/hello-kitty-island-adventure/">Hello Kitty Island Adventure</a></h2>

<p>We have yet another Apple Arcade gem with Hello Kitty Island Adventure, a must-play for fans of cozy games. Like other life sims, there’s so much to do in this adorable digital world. Decorate your home, cook tasty meals, and explore an island full of lovable Sanrio characters.</p> 

<p>You can also do a lot of special activities involving fishing, uncovering island secrets, and exploring other areas. There’s tons of content here for a mobile game. It’s like your pocket version of Animal Crossing or the Sims. It has a playscore of 9.1.</p>


<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/lost-in-play/">Lost In Play</a></h2>

<p>A mesmerizing tale told in a distinct art style. Lost In Play feels like watching an episode from Over The Garden Wall, Gravity Falls or any Cartoon Network classic. The best part about it is that you’re controlling these characters and their decisions in this surreal world.  With just a few taps of your fingers, you’re whisked into Lost In Play’s imaginative playground.</p> 

<p>It’s a point and click adventure, so there’s little pressure when dealing with its narrative. You’ll encounter a few puzzles along the way but they’re not too difficult to hamper your progress. In fact, these puzzles provide much-needed variety. It receives a playscore of 9.2.</p>


<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/tmnt-shredders-revenge/">TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge</a></h2>

<p>TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge claims the title of the Best iOS game of 2023. With your Netflix account, you can enjoy this retro brawler for free!	</p>

<p>The game’s success boils down to how fun it is. Playing as the Turtles and its cast of supporting characters feels like watching the old TV show again. This makes beating the crap out of Shredder’s Goons even more satisfying.</p> 

<p>You can also play with up to 5 of your friends in online co-op. That’s like all the four turtles and 2 extra characters. It’s the complete TMNT experience and you can play it with the palm of your hands. It’s the best with a playscore of 9.4.</p>
