Hardcore Droid

Ninja Turtles: Legend’s well-balanced combination of action, strategy, and character building make this installment of the popular franchise a success. It may be addictive, but the developers force players to take a pizza break—and that’s definitely not a bad thing.

If you’re a mobile gamer, who loves himself some hardcore Western ARPG, Titan Quest, at the end of the day, is an absolute must.

Still, if you can manage to put your Blastoise down long enough to avoid getting hit by a car, High Sea Saga is worth a shot while you’re waiting for the server downtime to end. And, if not, your hospital stay will go by like lightning while you’re trying to figure out how to equip a pirate’s bandana.

Smacking monsters with my swords and hammers is a lot more fun than getting new boots, so I suspect that this little nitpick will only affect impatient fashionistas. For everyone else, do yourself a favor by downloading the best endless runner I’ve played so far.

If you’ve never played an incremental game before, Nonstop Knight will show you why they’re popular.

Despite its flaws, Pokemon Go is a great AR game sure to appease Pokemon fans young and old.

An ehh dungeon crawler that your neighborhood toddler might enjoy.

Incredible concept, but the poorly-executed progression system bogs it down.

Ultimately The Abandoned is a game made for very hyper detailed gamers that want to face the challenge of surviving in an environment where nothing is on their side. It can be frustrating as all hell by its very nature but that does not preclude it from receiving the praise it deserves for filling a very sparse, specific niche in mobile gaming and it doing it as well as it does.

An interesting reimagining of the Angry Birds franchise, but marred by the trappings of modern mobile games.

An endless runner with great style that fumbles a bit in execution.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it, but adventure games being a niche genre nowadays goes without saying: if you can put up with puzzles missing pieces just to get an enthralling pulp-magazine story, that’s nobody’s business but yours.

Adrenaline pumping gameplay and slick visuals make Chased by the Sun an addiction you won't want to quit.

If you’re not willing to invest a lot of money into this game, you just aren’t going to get an experience worth very much. If you are looking for a true Total War experience, I’m afraid you should look elsewhere.

Missing a jump is annoying, but knocking the lights out of a weird punk from fifteen feet away feels great. Rayman Classic is definitely still a solid buy for fans of Rayman or platformers.

A virtual board game involving much more luck than strategy. Suitable only for fanatic Warhammer fans and virtual dice rolling enthusiasts.

Although there are a few frustrations along the way, Legacy Quest is an addicting and exciting title that blends character building and dungeon crawling into one superb hand-held ARPG.

Overall, Timenauts is fun, whacky and easy to get into. The story primarily serves to make the characters zany, but it’s novel. If you’re looking for robust, varied gameplay, however, it may not be the tonic for you. But if you’re in need of a chortle or perhaps an embarrassingly-high-pitched giggle, DeNA’s Timenauts is what you are looking for.

Ultimately, Avengers Alliance 2 is another worthy release from a hugely successful and influential brand which renews fans vigor for more content and brings in new followers in droves. Regardless, RPG and Marvel enthusiasts are sure to be pleased and get their fix of superhero fun.

It’s incredible if you want to dive deep into customization and team-building, but the gameplay is too simple to justify the layers and layers of options. The great thing is that you can ignore everything and just link the colors together. Sure, you’ll probably get stuck later on due to the lack of tweaking your team, but it’s a casual free-to-play game, so moving on wouldn’t be an issue. Tales of Link is a bit too busy, but there’s plenty of fun to be had with it, especially for Tales fans.

Clash of Clans goes card-based. While this is mostly to capitalize on the resurgence of CCG's and all their addictive qualities. It's somewhat vapid yet undeniably well-crafted game,

It functions well enough if you’re into mindless hacking and slashing, but you’ll probably forget about the game within a day or two. Dark Sword is a structurally sound game, but there is nearly no depth to its slashing.

Lovely to look at and lovelier to listen to, but it’s still the same Final Fantasy Adventure inside, for all the good and bad that entails.

Unless you dislike the LEGO formula, LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes is incredible at what it sets out to do.

There is no question that Final Fantasy IX is worth it. The only question in your mind should be “should I buy this game again if I already have it?” My answer? Absolutely.
