Netflix expands its gaming library with a fresh rhythm runner and a dungeon crawler
Netflix launched a mobile gaming service for its subscribersback in November 2021. Despite the lukewarm release titles comprised of a fewold gamesand a couple of new casual titles, the company has continued its path forward,releasing new games on the Play Storeat an even clip. A few weeks ago,Arcanium: Rise of Akhan and Krispee Street landed on the Play Store, and today Dungeon Dwarves is the latest offering from Netflix. Just like the rest of Netflix’s mobile game catalog, as long as you are a subscriber to the video streaming service, you could play its mobile games without spending any more money, including the newly-released Dungeon Dwarves.
Dungeon Dwarves is a casual idle RPG where you’ll beat up baddies and collect loot, all while upgrading your skills to ensure continued progression. So yes, it’s another casual game from Netflix, but at least it’s absent of greedy monetization, lending credence to the recent claim thatNetflix is taking its foray into gaming seriously.
Here’s what you can expect from the game:
As you can see, Dungeon Dwarves is a typical idle dungeon crawler, but thanks to the fact it isn’t filled to the brim with in-app purchases and s, it offers a clear leg up over the competition. For once, we have an idle game that wasn’t designed to annoy everyone into spending money, and all you need is a Netflix sub to play. So if you’re interested in taking a look, you can grab the installation from the Play Store widget below.

There’s a second release from Netflix this week, and it comes from Riot Games
Even thoughHextech Mayhemwas first listed on the Play Store in November, contains user reviews from December, and offers a January date as the last time it was updated, it would appear that it too is a new release from Netflix this week. It’s a League of Legends offshoot title, and it’s been available on PC since November, finally making its way to mobile this week through a Netflix subscription.
This title comes from Riot Games, and it’s described as a fast-paced rhythm runner, which means it’s an auto-runner with a rhythm mechanic. The graphics are pleasant, and the gameplay is fun, albeit casual, though performance is lackluster, and the touch controls aren’t as responsive as they should be, meaning Riot has missed its mark launching a game that clearly needs more optimization work. Still, if you happen to have a Netflix sub, you may check the game out for yourself to make up your own mind.
