The game named Crystal of Atlan is an exciting, fresh MMORPG that immerses players in a swiftly moving world. This past weekend, it captivated our editorial team due to its intense combat sequences and stunning graphics. What sets it apart are the diverse character classes it offers, showcasing a unique “magicpunk” style. In this setting, you can assume roles such as a chaotic Warlock or a Scytheguard with an enormous Marionette, among others.

The multiplayer aspects are keeping pace too, allowing you to join forces with your closest friends to conquer cooperative dungeons or compete against them in 3 versus 3 and 1 versus 1 matches. There are still many launch events happening, so jump right into the world of Magic and Machinery without delay!

Shifting gears from intense, action-packed games that require continuous button pressing, we’re now diving into a more relaxed yet equally enjoyable experience – Summoners War: Rush, the latest offering by Com2uS in the AFK genre. This idle role-playing game is packed with recognizable creatures from the widely-loved Summoners War series, where you can automatically fight enemies as you progress swiftly and gather generous rewards after each stage completed – all without the need for intense, time-consuming grinding.

As a fan, I appreciate how the game adds excitement to routine gameplay with its Tower Defense mode. In this mode, you strategically place the monsters you summon to defend Sky Island against constant enemy attacks. If you prefer a more passive approach, the main campaign allows your heroes to handle everything for you, making it perfect for idling and enjoying the action unfold. Plus, you can let it run automatically to complete missions while you tackle real-life chores – it’s a win-win situation!

In the game, you’ll clear the board by matching three orbs of the same type, while also crafting your own creatures to boost your team and add variety to your gameplay.

The best feature of this game is that you can play it in either portrait or landscape orientation according to your preference. It’s particularly convenient because a match-3 game is ideal for taking advantage of mobile devices’ easy playability, isn’t it? In other words, the game has been designed to make the most out of the convenience of picking up and playing on a mobile device.

This 2D game appears designed to evoke nostalgia, free of bothersome loading screens. It features intelligent NPCs and a character that can be tailored to your preferences.
