The Wrapp - Miraibo Go, Cooking Cats, TFT and more

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I find myself drawn to the ever-evolving landscape of mobile games. This weekend, I’m planning to delve into the world of CherryTree, an intriguing text-based RPG that promises a unique blend of storytelling and strategic gameplay.


Hey there, welcome to our latest edition of The Wrapp.

Here’s your opportunity to peek into the upcoming gaming choices of our Pocket Gamer team members for this weekend! Maybe it will offer you a glimpse into some peculiar and fascinating activities we engage in when not delivering the latest news and advice. Who knows, you might even discover a fresh game to enjoy yourself.

This coming weekend, I’ve got some substantial activities lined up. Recently, I’ve downloaded a couple of fresh games that I’m eager to squeeze into my schedule: CherryTree, an engaging text-based RPG, and Cooking Cats, a relatively unknown game with adorable visuals (and it belongs to the idle genre)!

This weekend, instead of sticking with my typical gacha-RPG-Stardew Valley routine, I’m venturing out to explore something fresh and intriguing, which falls slightly beyond my comfort zone. Truth be told, I eagerly anticipate the release of Path of Exile 2 or a mobile version, as I’ve accumulated nearly 4000 hours in that game (quite an extensive playtime, if you ask me!).

Who knew switching from cutesy pixel cat games to gore-y action RPGs could be so easy?

Previously discussed, I have indeed resumed my gaming at Phobies. Upon logging in and reviewing my match history, I was surprised to find that it had been over two years since my last game, a fact that both startled me and prompted a brief bout of introspection. Once past that moment, I found myself delighted to be back in that eerie universe. The character designs are superb, and it’s intriguing to encounter fresh figures wandering the maps. My win percentage is not particularly high, teetering on the brink of falling below 50%. Nevertheless, I’ve experienced more triumphs than anticipated, which encourages me to continue playing for a while yet.

But I also need something less multiplayer-focused. I’ve always been – and always will be – predominately a solo gamer. And this time, it’s Disney Pixel RPG that’s piqued my interest. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t judging a book by its cover with this one. The art style is just so darned cute – I have to try it. The slight red flag is it promises simple, fast-paced combat. That sounds like automated battles that aren’t overly engaging, but I’ll find out over the weekend!

Similar to the previous week, I’m continuing my delightful adventure in Capybara Go! – I’ve made significant progress (my capybara is even riding a crocodile now), but I won’t dwell too long on this charming idle game for fear that Will might get angry with me.

This weekend, I’m eager to jump right into Miraibo GO (as it’s quite trendy in mobile titles with the “Go” suffix!), but the challenge lies in gaining access since there’s a rather lengthy line just to enter the game at the moment. Here’s hoping the issue gets sorted out over the weekend; if not, there’s always more capybara-related activities to keep me busy.

Looking forward to diving back into video games since I haven’t had much time to play recently. I’ve been away in Greece for a while taking care of some matters, and it’s left me feeling quite tired.

Anyhow, I’m itching to make a final push for Masters in TFT before the current set ends, so there’s that. Also, I saw an AD for a new gacha RPG called Resonance Solstice, and I’m thinking of trying it out. It has a similar battle style to Reverse 1999, from what I’ve heard, and I find it interesting. Plus, there’s this Europa game that’s being released today on Steam. It’s an action 3D platformer, and the graphics look good, so yeah, I might give it a try.

As I prepare for my upcoming flight, I can’t help but look forward to diving back into the captivating world of Balatro once more. Its intricate design constantly teeters on the edge of addicting and maddening, making it impossible to resist coming back for more.

As I brought up earlier last week, nothing has ever kept me occupied like Vampire Survivors does.

Since I’ve recently been given a CRKD Atom for review, I can now revisit Symphony of the Night more thoroughly.

So many choices!

This weekend, Pokemon Go is set to make a comeback with the Mega Mawile Raid Day event. Unfortunately, my faithful companion, Balatro, seems to have ended up in a folder on my phone. While tidying up, I stumbled upon an app named Million Onion Hotel once more.

Million Onion Hotel is another addictively engaging game, boasting unique rhythms and the frenetic excitement that Japan was renowned for during the early PlayStation 1 era – an era marked by games like Bishi Bashi Special, Vib Ribbon, Incredible Crisis, among others. The gameplay is simple, involving tapping to pick onions; however, it quickly escalates into a chaotic mix of bombs, machines, monsters, and other unexpected elements. As you progress through approximately a dozen levels, a bizarre narrative unfolds, starting with an affair at a hotel but eventually transcending beyond intercontinental missiles and beyond.

It’s great, and it’s also – notably – premium. But, as you’ll be able to read in the new week, its my opinion that premium (and porting) are coming back into style with a vengeance.
