Best new Android and iPhone games (May 19th - May 25th)

Lots of interesting new indie titles

This past week brought us no high-profile titles, which is a good thing, since we can focus our attention on some well-deserving indie titles that have arrived on app stores. The Sword of Xolan is our number one pick for the week. Unfortunately, an iOS exclusive, the game features a colorful pixel-art environment and dynamic action platformer fighting.

We've also got plenty of other games in various genres, even a fun word game, so variety is definitely not an issue with these new releases. With no further ado, here are the best new Android and iPhone games for the past week.

Sword of Xolan

Sword of Xolan is an action platformer game with a colorful pixel art environment. The story revolves around Xolan, a young and brave man who fight for justice no matter what the cost, and this time Xolan is on an adventure against dark forces and on a mission to restore peace. The game is diverse and fun to play, with 30 hand-crafted adventure levels, 9 time-based challenge levels, 3 "End Of Act" bosses, and more than 30 different enemies like: zombies, giants and flying creatures.

Sleep Furiously

Oddwings Escape

Your mission is to fly as far as possible, collect coins and discover keys to release the Oddwings from the evil Dr. Rooster's lab. While you explore beautiful worlds, maneuver your way through the mad doctor's dangerous traps and obstacles: air bombs, poison gases and other exotic perils.

Til Morning’s Light

An adventure game with a deep story and immersive graphics, Til Morning's Light walks players through the life of Erica Page, an ordinary teenage girl, trying to fit in. She's also trapped in a mansion haunted by a 200 year-old curse. The creepy and not exactly empty mansion is open for her to roam (and escape) - there are clues to decipher, tools to collect, and puzzles to solve.

Drylands

Drylands is a game from the good old days of no in-app purchases, and it's a very well made post-apocalyptic RPG action-platformer with lots of quests and stories, engaging boss fights, and a story of a ravaged world. In that world "juice" is the only nutrient and most valuable resource. A prisoner teams up with the people of Serenity and so begins an adventure that will change the wastelands' fate...

Digit & Dash
