    Niche publisher XSEED xpands to mobile games this week with Android RPG Ark of the Ages. The $2 dungeon RPG takes place in the ancient "Tower of Magic," which you must explore as a knight of the Royal Order.It combines third-person navigation – using dual (virtual) analog controls to navigate trap-filled spaces – with first-person, swipe-controlled combat. An iPhone version will also be released in "the coming weeks."Ark of the Ages definitely isn't an anomaly; instead it represents a new business for the publisher. "Mobile games represent a new segment for XSEED Games and are something we are very excited to pursue in 2013," said XSEED president Shinichi Suzuki. "With so many great devices on the market, mobile gaming is becoming more and more appealing to hardcore and casual gamers alike and we are looking forward to bringing fun and innovative new titles to our fans."
