Update February 10: Lords of the Fallen, Gunman Taco Truck, and Gentleman Ninja round up the newest additions to the Google Play Store that we think deserve your attention!
Lords of the Fallen
Originally released for the PS4 and Xbox One back in 2015, Lords of the Fallen has finally made its way onto Android and iOS in 2017.
In this mobile port, you choose to play as the sword-wielding Harkyn, the dual-wielding Yetka, or the hammer-handed Kaslo as you set off to take down the evil Demon Queen Acasha and her army of ghoulish, giant monsters, which you fight in epic one-on-one battles. Hack-and-slash your way past the enemies and find new materials so you can craft new weapons, armor, and amulets and make your hero even stronger.
This is an epic action-adventure game which has been optimized for smartphones and tablets with swipes to attack and taps for dodging your enemies attack. It's been compared to Dark Souls in terms of theme and visual style, but the learning curve and difficulty level is suited for a more casual, mobile gaming experience.
Another thing to note here is the price. With the premium graphics and gameplay comes a premium price, at $9.99. This will rightly turn off a number of people, but if you simply can't get enough of battling epic, gothic monsters, you're sure to love Lords of the Fallen.

Gunman Taco Truck
It's the year 2020 and the United States of America is in turmoil after scientists accidentally detonated seven nuclear bombs across the country. That's the premise behind Gunman Taco Truck, which sets you on a post-apocalyptic cross-country journey in your family's taco truck, as you try to make it to the safe haven of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Part cooking simulator and part action game, you serve tacos to the hungry survivors at the cities you stop in, made from the meat you collect from blasting your way past mutated beasts on the highway.
As ridiculous as it sounds, this game provides quite the challenge as you must keep your truck on the road by both collecting scraps on your drive and making sure to nail those taco orders so you can refill your gas tank. This is a free download from the Google Play Store, but it plays like a premium game with biting humor.

Gentleman Ninja
While ninjas are typically known to be sneaky, ruthless assassins, the titular character in Gentleman Ninja hopes to bring the class and charm of a British dandy to the ancient deadly trade.
Gentleman Ninja is an endless runner wherein you must kill the corresponding enemies with either your blue or red katana. Meanwhile the road behind you is falling, so you must balance leaving enough time to see which enemies are next without falling into the chasm. It's a fun, casual game with a clean and cartoony art style that's packed with goofy humor and a ton of different costumes to unlock as you progress through the game.
