That day is today, which means Northgard was just updated with online multiplayer that supports cross-play between Android and iOS. Northgard is a popular indie strategy game that launched on Android last month, but it was missing online multiplayer support at launch, with the feature expected to land at a later date. There's no multiplayer support, but it should be coming in an update this September.
Players do have the option to play with an uncapped framerate, so if you own a beefy phone or tablet (my ROG 5 was hitting frames in the mid-50s with fluctuations in the mid-40s), you aren't forced to play at 30FPS. There is also no controller support, and oddly enough, the game will crash upon boot if you have a controller plugged in through a USB port. However, the UI is missing the pointer when playing on a Chromebook (stages don't contain a pointer for some reason), which means you'll have to control the game through the touch controls, which isn't ideal for a laptop. The game suits tablets much better and even runs on Chromebooks. You do have the option to resize the UI to several different increments, which helps with readability, but then the UI feels cluttered on a small screen, which gets in the way of the touch-based map controls. The touch-based UI is new, and it can be unwieldy, especially on phones. A very cluttered and busy UI, though more than likely unavoidable for an RTS
