Brain Seal Ltd. have just released their turn-based role playing game Dark Quest 2 on iOS and Android.
Indie games in Android land wax rather indie. I am going to tell you now that somewhere below the Android indie cellar is a sub-cellar wherein dwell solo devs and two-man teams—sub-basement Android indies. The freakish step-child of the gaming industry. But, as is true with any cadre of social misfits, some rather compelling stuff occasionally pokes its woolly head out of this outsider morass. If you’re looking to play rich, compelling RPGs on your phone, there is within said midden heap a small cache of absolute gems, which is, of course, what our list is all about. Beyond shining a spotlight on said hidden treasure, however, the criteria for the “You Never Heard Of” lists is the absolute best Android indie RPGs with less than 10K downloads. To be sure, the following indie RPGs did not receive the love they deserve, though, of course, our latest edition of the Ten Best Android RPGs You Never Heard of is, at the end of the day, for you.
For many, the premise behind a list of the best Android RPGs amounts to a contradiction in terms. Most of us who work and play in the mobile gaming sphere do in fact understand that our platform of choice is the red-haired stepchild of the gaming industry. Believe it or not, if you dig down a level deeper into the sub-cellar of small one, two-man indie dev teams, you have a subgenre that is the village idiot of the gaming industry. Thing is, as with the best social misfits, some genuinely compelling stuff has reared its wholly head out of the depths of gaming’s social underbelly.

But should you not be able to afford to enjoy the biggest of 2019's games from the get-go, and need to find a cheaper fix, the Xbox Deals With Gold sale is the place to be. The latest sale is here right now, and the Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles discounted via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 27th August - 2nd September 2019 are numerous."
Looks like some old-school fun!

"Do you think it would sell more as a proper console/PC release?"
- Well, "Dark Quest 2" has been out on Steam since March of 2018, and the reviews are very positive. So I bet that the game is already selling well for PC. As for console though, a PS4, Xbox One and Switch release would be a very good idea with no doubt.
