Maybe you’ve noticed this, but there sure are a lot of games being released for iOS and Android these days! It can be tough to know what to keep an eye out for. Well, here’s three titles that are shaping up to be pretty good:

Meow Meow Star Acres

Japanese title: ほしの島のにゃんこ (Hoshi no Shima no Nyanko)

From colopl, the publisher behind Quiz RPG: The Mystic World of Wiz, comes Meow Meow Star Acres, a casual take on the farm sim meant to appeal to children and families.

True to the formula, players raise poultry for eggs and grow crops to be made into special recipes to sell to the other feline citizens of Star Acres. Satisfied customers pay in coins that can be exchange for new tools and even decorations to beautify the island.

With an adorable aesthetic and simple, touch-based controls on the proven village-raising / farming formula, Meow Meow Star Acres will likely be a hit with casual crowd.

Pandora

Donuts made a name for itself with its motorcycle title Tantora, inspiring Social Game Info to include the company’s upcoming idol-raising title Tokyo 7th Sisters among its list of the top 20 titles to look out for in 2014.

Japanese smartphone gamers may have to wait a bit longer to play Tokyo 7th Sisters, but Donuts’ unique take on the fortress genre popularized by Clash of Clans is just around the corner.

Pandora features a world built on the ruins of a lost civilization, a setting which should sound instantly familiar to fans of JRPGs. The title will also feature raid battles players can take on in tandem with other guild members, emphasizing elements the title borrows from MMORPGs.

With its unique setting and multiplayer elements, Pandora may be the next big thing Clan fans have been waiting for.

Planned release: Late February

Klee

If you’re thinking it’s about time iOS / Android get their World of Warcraft, it looks like you’re not alone. Klee is a fully-3D, online RPG with customizable characters, multiplayer co-op with teams of up to three other players; the works.

Klee is being developed in cooperation between Aeria and Neillo.
