5 new mobile games to try this week - November 7th, 2024

From Pokemon TCG Pocket to Bloons Card Storm, card battlers seem to be enjoying their time in the spotlight recently, with even Nickelodeon cashing in on this trend as of late. Nickelodeon Card Clash brings together all your favourite characters across Nick franchises Smash Bros style, so you can pit Master Splinter against Appa like you've always dreamed of doing.

Build your deck and duke it out with your friends or against the Adventure Mode, using familiar faces from SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Now you can finally see who the better waterbender truly is: Katara, or Mermaid Man?

Tired of ridding research facilities of escaped monsters that somehow always take vengeance on you for experimenting on them? Why not play as the aforementioned monstrous abomination this time around?

Carrion is a "reverse horror" platformer where you play as an amorphous creature that consumes humans to survive. Evolve, grow, and wreak havoc across these pesky humans' facilities, dodging lasers and ultimate captivity to survive. It's about time you turn the tables - after all, biological experiments always, always go wrong when it comes to sci-fi.

An abandoned village, an otherworldly curse, and an unsolved mystery of just why the townsfolk seem to have fled from the scene without a trace - these things never end well, but if you're a fan of pointing and clicking on things you don't understand, The Whispering Valley should be exactly your cup of tea.

This eerie point-and-click adventure will have you exploring the village of Sainte-Monique-Des-Monts while solving puzzles and fending off the horrors of the night. And just in case the creepiness of the setting isn't enough, the 360° panoramic view should successfully spook the life out of you while you're poking around - no excessive jumpscares needed.

Imagine being the Loch Ness monster just wriggling around underwater and living your best life, when all of a sudden you get bombarded by harpoons and spears from pesky humans hellbent on ruining your day. Much like Carrion, you can take vengeance upon humanity in this colourful new strategy game, where it's monsters versus Vikings across tactical turn-based mayhem.

You can duke it out with your besties and frenemies in quick battles or go for the long haul across 24-hour turn times. You can customise your fleet and dive into tournaments inspired by Battleship, but with pirates and sea serpents to spice up the fight.

This officially licensed RPG takes you into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen with iconic scenes from the anime along with a game-exclusive narrative. Experience fully voiced dialogue and action-packed battles, as you control Cursed Techniques and rid the world of Cursed Spirits with your hand-picked squad of heroes from the show.

Apart from the main campaign, you can also try your hand at the "Domain Investigation" to see if you're powerful enough to take on each floor's challenge in thrilling turn-based combat.
