[TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!] A beloved PC game, now coming to mobile. Metacritic: 83. Very Positive on STEAM - 90%. Drop Duchy takes the iconic geometric puzzle gameplay we all know and love and gives it a fresh perspective: instead of simply clearing lines, you build a realm. A mix of deckbuilding, puzzle and rogue-lite, designed to hone your appetite as a block-stacking tactician. Place tile pieces as you would in a block-dropping game, but align them to maximize their activation rules. Set the right structures next to lush forests, wild rivers and grassy plains to pull out maximum resources and units. Then gather your troops, reclaim the regions under enemy control, and storm the enemy fortress along branching, decision-filled paths. Let your castle take too much damage and the run ends - but defeat is not the end: jump straight back in with a new strategy, and use the experience gained to unlock even more content. Grow in power with over 110 unique cards, trade with markets and guilds, and climb a meta progression of over 90 missions tied to three playable factions: The Duchy, The Order and The Republic. Adapt, conquer, and keep the action moving! FEATURES * An original mix of puzzle gameplay and real-time strategy * A brand new game experience with each run thanks to procedural generation * Play with Factions: The Duchy, The Order, The Republic * Meta progression: over 90 challenges designed to help you through your journey * Build the perfect deck with over 110 unique cards * An elegant and charming art direction to please your eyes * An engaging and ever-evolving soundtrack to please your ears * Choose your path between lakes, glades, forests, villages, guilds… and more!

You wake up inside a collapsing underwater military base with no memory of who you are or why you are there. The only thing you know is that time is running out. Steel creaks. Water floods the corridors. Shadows move in the darkness. Every corner hides a new threat, and every mistake can be fatal. Escape: Immersion is a cinematic 2.5D horror adventure focused on exploration, environmental puzzles, deadly traps, and survival. Push deeper into the flooded complex, react to unpredictable dangers, uncover fragments of your past, and find a way out before the ocean claims the base completely. FEATURES • Classic linear horror adventure • Cinematic 2.5D gameplay • Distinctive VHS-styled visuals • Dark, oppressive underwater atmosphere • Environmental puzzles and deadly traps • Dynamic and unpredictable events • Dangerous situations where quick reactions matter • A mysterious story hidden throughout the military base • Explore flooded corridors and abandoned facilities • Uncover the truth about your past and escape before it is too late The first five playable levels are available for free. The rest of the story is unlocked with a single non-consumable in-app purchase. No subscription.

Drop Duchy and Escape are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
