On PocketGamer.fun this week: Playing the villain and Children of Morta

Regular readers of Pocket Gamer will be aware that we released a brand new website called PocketGamer.fun. It’s a site we’ve made in collaboration with domain specialists Radix, intending to help you find your next favourite game quickly.

So, if you’re looking for distilled recommendations, head over to the site, be greeted with dozens of great games and download any that take your fancy. Alternatively, if you’re happy with a little more reading, we’ll regularly post articles like this one to update you on what we’ve posted on the site in the last week or so.

Joining the dark side

Most games see you becoming the hero, with the ultimate goal of saving the world from some kind of all-powerful evil. That’s great and all, but have you ever wondered what it might be like on the other side of that equation? To be the villain who’s trying to hatch an evil scheme? Well, it turns out there are actually a few options available if you want to live out those dark fantasies. Just keep it to the virtual world and not real life, alright? I won’t be held responsible for anyone inspired to take up villainy full-time.

Game of the Week

Children of Morta

When it was released on PC, Children of Morta went down well with critics and the gaming public, netting itself a healthy 82 on Metacritic. So, it was pretty exciting to hear it was coming to mobile, giving a new audience a chance to get their hands on its roguelike goodness. And you know what? It turned out pretty good, as Will noted in his Children of Morta review.
