Stellacept Online

Stellacept Online is a free-to-play mobile MMORPG that blends science fiction tech with fantasy aesthetics in a large, persistent open world. It leans heavily into quest-driven progression, mixes action inputs with light auto-targeting, and supports flexible character building through nine weapon types rather than locked classes. Between its cutscenes, story beats, and surprisingly “console-like” presentation for a phone title, it aims to be a more narrative-focused alternative to the typical grind-first mobile MMO.

Epic Card Battle

Epic Card Battle is a free-to-play, 3D online trading card game where your main job is assembling decks and chasing better cards through PvE stages and asynchronous PvP.
