Happy Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates!
Among new games I’ve tried Call of Antia, which has tremendous production value and nice character design. Also indie gem Micro RPG features original combat mechanics: area of damage spins around the character, tap when it’s passes the enemies. Weapons with different range and AoD shape make this system fun. Well, these two titles are worth checking.
