    Ex Astris is a premium mobile RPG with a one-of-a-kind mix of real-time and turn-based combat. The lack of controller support can be a bummer, and the complicated combat mechanics take some getting used to. But if you're tired of your typical gacha game, this compelling single-player title can be a complete steal.

    There's some sharp difficulty here, but it's not the sort of thing that's going to make you smash your phone. It's going to push you on deeper, and make you want to find out more. Feist isn't just another game that looks like a bunch of others, it's its own thing, full of wit and whimsy, horror and hardships. And you should do yourself a favour and pick it up right now.
