A new game just launched on the Google Play Store, promising a console-quality RPG experience on the go - and you can dive in for free right now.

UnGodly is the debut game by developer Azra Games, a studio set up by former BioWare and EA executive Mark Otero. It's described as a dark fantasy action RPG, with a major story focus. It follows a mercenary called Vander, who rescues a young woman from a sinister ritual and assembles a squad of warriors called Primals to take on a sinister force that threatens the world.

Each Primal is descended from an ancient god and brings their own distinct abilities and roles to combat. There are currently more than two dozen to unlock, with more on the way, including Conan the Barbarian thanks to an official crossover collaboration.

Character progression is an important part of the game, with unique character quests and the ability to develop platonic (and even romantic) relationships with your team.

According to Azra Games, UnGodly offers tens of hours of play, though the action has been designed to be enjoyed in short bursts with meaningful progression each time you log in. This sounds particularly promising, as many popular mobile games are designed to be practically endless time sinks that require multiple hours of input every time you log in.

Otero says that "console games on mobile" has been an aspiration for years, and this release finally "delivers on that promise." He adds that UnGoldy offers "the same depth, fidelity, and experience you'd expect on PC or console."

The game is currently available on the Google Play Store, with an enhanced experience and more precise controls for those playing on PC via Google Play Games for PC.

It will also come to the Samsung Galaxy Store and One Store next month.
