Android gaming is getting bigger and better every month it seems and there is always a slew of new titles coming to Google Play. Whether you’re a casual gamer or you want something with a bit more meat on its bones, there’s usually a game coming out to suit everyone’s taste. Some months are better than others, but there is usually at least one great new game on mobile every month. Let’s take a look at the best new Android games from the last month! You can also check out our picks for the best new Android games released in all of 2021.
An honorable mention for this month is Ni No Kuni: Cross World (Google Play). The gameplay is reasonably decent. However, some unfortunate decisions with in-game crypto caused bot spam to the point where legit players are stuck in queues instead of playing. Keep an eye on it, but wait until things get sorted out.
The best NEW Android games from June 2022
A Story of a Company
Price: Free / $3.99
A Story of a Company is a visual novel game from Buff Studios, a developer with several visual novels under their belt. As with most visual novels, the point is to read and enjoy the story until you reach the end. It takes place in an office and has animal-human hybrid characters. There are multiple endings to access, epilogues, achievements, and more. The gameplay is pretty easy and this is one of the more relaxing games on the list this month.
Artery Gear: Fusion
Price: Free to play
Artery Gear: Fusion is a new mobile RPG in the same vein as games like Epic Seven or Azur Lane. That means it’s a gacha where you collect a large number of characters and use your best ones to do combat. The player follows a story about a full-scale war in an age where everyone has mechs. Artery Gear boasts a roster of over 100 characters which is quite a bit for a nearly released game. It has decent mechanics for combat and all of that. However, we think most fans of the game are more interested in the gacha aspects of it. The game could definitely use some optimization as it does load slowly and has the occasional stuttering issue, but otherwise, it’s decent.
Catalyst Black
Price: Free to play
Catalyst Black is a third-person shooter from Super Evil Megacorp. They are the same developers of Vainglory, another very successful MOBA. It has elements from both genres. Players shoot bad guys, level up their gear, and even kill bosses. The game also has excellent loadout customizations for its genre along with some other good features. It’s not a full-blown MOBA, but there are some MOBA mechanics. Aside from there being a lot of bots and some bad matchmaking, it’s actually a pretty entertaining game.
Diablo Immortal
Price: Free to play
Diablo Immortal joins Apex Legends Mobile as one of the biggest mobile game launches of 2022 so far. The game is an action RPG like the console and PC versions but scaled down for mobile. There are about a half dozen classes along with cameos from long-time characters in the kind of dungy, dark world that Diablo is known for. Each class has its own abilities along with its own pros and cons. The controls, story, and combat are excellent. However, the leveling system is kind of jacked up and the best gear in the game costs a lot of real-world money. The issues with the game are fixable and some players don’t mind a little extra grind for better gear. It’s a good game, but it’s experiencing some knee-jerk anger over its microtransactions.
Disney Mirrorverse
Price: Free to play
Disney Mirrorverse is yet another mobile gacha game. This one features a bunch of Disney and Pixar characters. It’s an original storyline so you won’t see a bunch of rehashing of old Disney stories. The game uses pseudo-action RPG mechanics and it’s generally enjoyable to play. There are also some special event quests to do that unlocks some extra stuff. It’s really not too different from how most gachas are structured. The controls can be a bit janky, though, and there can be some frame drops on mid-tier and lower-tier phones.
Kingdom Maker
Price: Free to play
Kingdom Maker is a kingdom-building strategy game. It plays like most other mobile games in the genre. You build a kingdom, raise an army, upgrade your kingdom and army, and do combat against bad guys. The game also encourages you to explore the world and eventually conquer it. On the plus side, it plays like older kingdom-builders rather than newer ones. The downside is that upgrades take forever and the game is pretty slow.
Lost Shadow: Dark Knight
Price: Free to play
Lost Shadow: Dark Knight is a 2D side-scroller with RPG and hack-and-slash mechanics. Players embark on a quest to save humankind after they were defeated in a war a thousand years earlier. The game is pretty simple. You run through levels hacking and slashing your way through a bunch of bad guys and bosses. You get stronger as you do which allows you to keep hacking and slashing through bad guys. There is an autoplay mode as well to make grinding slightly less tedious. It’s not perfect and some of the mechanics and controls are a little funky. Otherwise, it’s not bad.
MU Origin 3
Price: Free to play
MU Origin 3 is an MMORPG that has some potential. It has decent visuals, especially when it comes to combat. You create a character, play through the story, and take on various side quests to find loot and gain levels. There is also a 3v3 PvP mode where you can test your skills against other players. It has auto battling and auto walking, but you can turn it off. The mechanics are decent, but there is a lot of stuff going on basically all the time so there is a larger than average learning curve. Plus, lower-end devices tend to have some performance issues.
Rotaeno
Price: Free / Up to $9.99
Rotaeno is a new rhythm game from the same developers of To the Moon and Icey, both of which are excellent mobile games. This one is shaping up to be one as well. The mechanics for this one are pretty typical with a little twist. We mean that literally. The game utilizes your gyroscope and you twist the screen around while you tap notes. There are a healthy number of tracks to choose from and more are available as in-app purchases. This is a sneaky good game, especially if you enjoy rhythm games.
Streets of Rage 4
Price: $7.99
Streets of Rage 4 is another one of those sneaky good games that launched in the past month. It’s a beat ’em up game and a port from the original Sega Genesis. More specifically, this is a mobile port of the 2020 remaster that launched on console and PC. It includes the original game along with all levels, but with upgraded graphics, new characters, a new survival mode, and achievements. The game also comes with controller support and a single price tag. It maintains that 90’s arcade feel without difficulty and the controls are actually pretty good. There is very little to complain about for this one as long as you like side-scrolling beat ’em ups.
