Romancing SaGa 2
[Price: $17.99]Romancing SaGa 2 is an RPG that was released all the way back in 1993 in Japan only. This last week, the game was released on mobile along with PS Vita and this release included English translations for the first time ever. You’ll play as the Emperor and it’s your job to build up your kingdom and defeat the Seven Heroes that have turned into demons. The game also features new classes, a new game+ mode, and some additional game play features. It’s quite expensive at $18, but that’s pretty normal for a Square Enix release.
foobar2000
[Price: Free]Once upon a time, foobar2000 was one of the best audio players on PC. It was lauded for its simple interface, lightweight nature, and support for various codecs. Now, the retro audio player is available on Android. It features a very simplistic design that, we admit, would’ve looked better with some Material Design added in. It supports a variety of formats including flac, Musepack, and others. It’s free with no in-app purchases which definitely makes it worth a try, but do beware that they’re still working on it and there are some bugs.
Crashing Season
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]Crashing Season is a game that is known as a closed runner. It has some charming 3D graphics and you’ll play as a bunch of different animals as you run around, survive wave after wave of bad guys, and defeat bosses. The game includes unlockable content like more animals, boosts, power ups, and accessories. Given that it is a freemium game, you can probably guess that a lot of that can be purchased with real money if you want it bad enough. It’s a fun little time waster and there is even multiplayer support.
Science Journal
[Price: Free]Science Journal is a little known Google app that was released during Google I/O. The idea is that it allows you to use to the sensors in your phone or you can connect outside sensors and then use the app to record data, test results, and perform actual, scientific experiments and research. Like most Google apps, this one is entirely free and steeped in a heavy dose of Material Design. It’s a great app for students especially and you can find out more by going to makingscience.withgoogle.com.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
[Price: $2.99]Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an adventure game where you play as two kids who are on a quest to find some Water of Life to save their ailing father. In the game, you’ll have control of both brothers simultaneously most of the time which means this is one of those few games that actually plays better on a touch screen than with a controller. The story is emotionally charged, the graphics look good, and aside from some early bugs, it seems to play pretty well. The Google Play listing said there were in-app purchases, but we couldn’t find any.
SmartNews
[Price: Free]Okay, so this week’s episode isn’t sponsored, but we did want to take a second to tell you about SmartNews. Over the weekend, Android Authority was added to the SmartNews app as a featured channel and we wanted to tell you about it. It’s a really nice news app that aggregates news from all kinds of popular, reliable, and otherwise relevant sources. Starting this last week, Android Authority joined an illustrious cast of blogs and sites and we wanted to talk about it for a sec. SmartNews if a free app that you should definitely check out!
