The Wrapp – Dark and Dicey Dungeons

by

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

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

To begin with, it’s clear that I’ll definitely be checking out Pokemon TCG Pocket daily now, given they’ve launched the Dialga and Palkia packs. And let me tell you, some of the artwork on these new cards is simply breathtaking. Moreover, based on my predictions in our podcast (which you’ll have to tune in next week for), this game promises to be quite entertaining: It includes a variety of cards that shuffle rival energy supplies, cards that require redraws based on victory points, and even tools for introducing berries and other tricks into the mix. So buckle up, it’s going to be a fun ride!

Setting my wallet’s safety aside, I’ve dived back into Dicey Dungeons and find myself deeply engrossed, with no immediate plans for resurfacing. Additionally, I’m eager to explore BUMP! Superbrawl, Ubisoft’s newest venture that, in terms of visual style and name, seems to draw heavily from Supercell’s universe. It looks quite promising so far.

Outside of mobile gaming, I’ve almost finished Dynasty Warriors: Origins, gathering a good bunch of friends to play Dark and Darker in anticipation of its mobile version, and truthfully, getting ready for the upcoming release of Civilization 7.

This weekend, it’s a certainty that I’ll be diving into Hearthstone games, even though everyone has advised against it. Truthfully, I can’t help but feel drawn to it, knowing full well that it might consume me completely – and yet, I eagerly offer myself as a willing participant. The StarCraft mini-set is out now, and I can’t let this chance slip by to assume the role of the Queen of Blades once more and unleash my Zerg minions against those who dare oppose me.

Admittedly, I may come across as if I know a lot about this topic when in truth, I’m quite new to it. Over the next two days, I might struggle quite a bit figuring things out. However, just as I’m getting the hang of one thing, Pokemon TCG Pocket releases its newest expansion packs. Wow, those are going to keep me busy as well!

Suffice it to say there will be no socialising or any adulting of the sort happening this weekend.

Last week, I swiftly resolved my dilemma regarding Wuthering Waves when I perused the abilities that Roccia provided and promptly discarded Danjin. It was a melancholic moment as she was fully equipped. To my astonishment, I also managed to draw Roccia thrice, thus unlocking her optimal passive skill. In simpler terms, if “surprise” means I diligently gathered every piece of Astrite I could get my hands on.

I find myself once again immersed in the world of Wuthering Waves, and even the simplest tasks are a source of pleasure rather than a chore. This is not usually the case when one is “grinding”. I plan to intersperse some gameplay of Hitman 3 throughout my playtime. Last night, I accomplished all the objectives in Paris, but this weekend will be mostly dedicated to Wuthering Waves.

To put myself in a positive frame of mind, I usually keep my cats near me, and during a casual browse on the Google Play Store, I stumbled upon an adorable game named Divineko. It’s straightforward and entertaining; you play as a cat and sketch different shapes to conquer adversaries. I think I’ll spend some moments trying to progress through additional levels in this game, rather than working on enhancing my kingdom in Cookie Run Kingdom for now.

More recently, I’ve made some improvements to the game Love and Deepspace, a favorite of mine that many of you may recognize. I’m eager to get back into the loop and strengthen my bonds with Xavier and Sylus again – it’s been some time since we last interacted, let’s hope they can forgive me!

To be completely honest, I’ve been under the weather at the beginning of this week and then found myself overwhelmed with work for the remainder. The past three weekends have all been filled with birthday celebrations. Consequently, this weekend will find me balancing Pokemon Go and a birthday bash. It’s a Gigantamax day, which can be quite challenging because you need numerous players with strong Pokemon to defeat it. Needless to say, it’s going to be hectic! I’m trying to re-sync Neopets so that I can collect more rewards in their match-3 puzzle game. Unfortunately, for the past couple of updates, it appears my account has been deleted. 🙁

Oh, LOK Digital! Your word games have me stumped and yet strangely drawn in! Once upon a time, my gaming hours were filled with thwarting the resurrection of dark gods or rescuing royalty by leaping on turtles. But today, I’m finding myself more intrigued by puzzlers. Could this be the sensation of growing up? It’s an unfamiliar itch, but I’m ready to embrace the challenges and discover what lies beyond each twist and turn.

In my opinion, the standout feature of my library is early access to Dark And Darker Mobile, a game that appears to lack crossplay functionality. To keep up with games such as Warframe, which brings everyone together, it needs to deliver an exceptional experience. However, Dungeons & Dragons, not the one you’re thinking of, connects people in unique ways, and I’m eager to see how it does so myself.

Over the upcoming weekend, my schedule is quite full, which means less time for gaming. This unexpected free time, however, has allowed me to ponder the disappointing news of six Netflix Games’ releases being canceled. While I haven’t used Netflix Games extensively, I’ve often intended to explore their extensive collection of indie games when I found the chance. Regrettably, it appears that my previous assumption about them focusing more on tie-ins instead of maintaining their diverse and unique game offerings may be coming true.

This coming weekend, I have scheduled three gaming sessions ahead. The first one is Mu: Dark Epoch, a game I mentioned earlier as I’ve been engrossed in it for quite a while now. It’s an MMORPG with a somewhat ominous atmosphere. My character happens to be among the top 20 strongest on the server, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

Afterward, let’s move on to our shared adventure in Go Go Muffin. It’s a fresh, exciting AFK RPG featuring pristine visuals where we can experiment with various character builds.

Ultimately, I plan on diving back into Soul Knight Prequel, an action RPG with a vintage aesthetic and roguelike features. Over the course of seasons 1 and 2, I spent quite a bit of time playing it, but unfortunately, I missed out on season 3. Now, my interest is piqued to learn about all the fresh classes and equipment that have been introduced in the game.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thoroughly immersed in God of War Ragnarok, and I can hardly wait to delve deeper into its captivating world. The combat is incredibly satisfying, with a crunchy feel that’s hard to resist, and the graphics are nothing short of breathtaking. However, while the story may not be as gripping as the first installment, it seems to sometimes follow repetitive patterns, with Kratos and Atreus engaging in similar conversations repeatedly.

Regarding mobile gaming, similar to Dann, I could potentially dive into Bump! Superbrawl. Amongst the major game developers, Ubisoft is one of the select few who treat this platform with genuine dedication instead of just attaching a renowned brand name to an endless runner and crossing their fingers for success. Granted, they do dabble in that approach too, but Brawlhalla has demonstrated its worth independently, which gives me some confidence in Bump! Superbrawl as well.
