Mobile Game Roundup: Versus Run, Mars Mountain and More

If you're looking for a new mobile game to play this weekend, there are plenty of new options for you to try, like Fear the Walking Dead: Dead Run from AMC and Versus Evil. The running game is based on the television show Fear the Walking Dead, and challenges players to escape Los Angeles while running from zombies.


In addition, Bandai Namco Entertainment released its newest game this week: SailorMoon Drops. The puzzle game asks players to help the Sailor Guardians complete match-three puzzles.


Are you looking for something different to play? Here's a look at some of the additional games released this week.


Versus Run (Free on iOS, Android) – This endless survival game from Ketchapp and Plexonic challenges players to survive as long as possible while running away from an AI opponent on the screen. Players tap on the left and right sides of the screen to move forward, and must avoid other blocks in the world. Gamers are challenged to move quickly to avoid being caught by the character behind them. Users can collect gems as they play, and spend these on new playable characters.


Dungenious ($2.99 on iOS, Android) – From Noizoo Games, Dungenious is a dungeon-crawling trivia game, which allows players to explore dungeons and answer trivia questions to attack enemies. The game features 50 question topics, and also allows users to create their own questions. During battle, the faster players answer questions correctly, the stronger their attacks will be. Gamers can upgrade their hero's skills over time.


Immortal Legends (Free on iOS, Android) – From TapStar Interactive and T-Rex Games, Immortal Legends is a tower defense game set in mythical China. The game features 115 battle modes across 23 maps, and allows players to collect and deploy allies as their “towers” on the field.

These allies can be evolved over time.


Wonderland Saga (Free on iOS) – From Dragondawn Studio, Wonderland Saga is a side-scrolling multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, allowing players to team up and fight against other players in three-on-three battles.

Oil Capitalist (Free on iOS) – This clicker or idle game from ROM Games allows players to become an oil tycoon by constructing a variety of buildings and vehicles for their business. Players begin with an oil mine, which generates oil over time. Oil can be turned into cash, or used as currency to purchase specific buildings. Other structures, such as a Gasoline Tanker and Car Wash, generate money over time. Players can spend money on additional buildings or upgrades for their existing buildings. While a building is under construction, or is being upgraded, players can rapidly tap on the screen to speed up the building or upgrade timer. Players will create pollution as they construct and upgrade buildings, and will need to buy “Eco” buildings to reduce the amount of pollution they generate. These Eco buildings are available to purchase using diamonds, the game's premium currency. Some diamonds can be earned for free by completing in-game achievements, or by watching video ads.


Trial Moto X: Tournament Edition (Free on iOS) – From X3M Games, Trial Moto X: Tournament Edition is a racing game with multiplayer competitions powered by Skillz.

After players complete a course, their time is compared to another player's time, and the player with the fastest time receives tokens. Players must wager one or more tokens each time they begin a new match. The Skillz platform also supports real-money gaming, as users can add real money to their Skillz account and compete for cash prizes.


Fancy Tale (Free on iOS, Android) – This fashion-themed match-three puzzle game from European Games Group and Sublinet asks players to make matches with fashion-themed symbols to create clothing items for their animal customers.
