Mobile games are one of the largest markets in the gaming community today, largely due to their accessibility. Popular ones include Candy Crush, Pokémon GO, and Clash of Titans. These are games that you can play on your phone, iPad, or other tablet device without having to buy an expensive system like you would for a console-based game.
Of course, mobile games get controversial when you start including them as part of the gaming community. There are many people who think they shouldn’t be considered real games, brushing them off as largely casual puzzle games.
But with the evolution of cell phone technology, mobile games have also evolved. Older console games like Xbox and PlayStation 2 are even getting cell phone ports, proving that phones can sometimes take the place of traditional consoles. We’ve come a long way from Snake on good old Nokia “brick”.
The Arcana: A Mystic Romance is a fantastic example of what mobile games have to offer. Presenting itself as an “LGBT-friendly game” where “you choose your pronouns, then romance to your liking!” – is the perfect game to play during Pride Month or all year round.
History
After a short character creator where you can choose your name and gender, you are introduced as a magical prodigy in your world. You are an apprentice left largely to yourself by your mentor. Equipped with a particularly insightful tarot deck, you set out on an adventure to find out who you are and why this world seems so strange.
Wasn’t there the plague a few years ago? Why did it disappear? How did the Count disappear? And what do you and your friends have to do with this? In fact, why can’t you remember anything from the past a few years ago?
Packed with stories at its core, Arcana gives you multiple story paths to explore right from the start. Selecting a character allows you to transport yourself through the game’s storyline through the perspective of the character you have chosen and your own.
Make no mistake, you are the main engine of the story. You are not alone sitting in the passenger seat while your companion takes you with you. But your mate helps guide the story. Have you ever wondered how different a story could be if the main character had a different best friend or love interest? This is The Beyonder.
