This is still a must buy game for any strategy fans. It’s been compared favorably to Warbits [$3.99], with people citing the story mode as more interesting and engaging.

Never Alone errs on the side of being an experience above all, but for a game of that type, the mechanical side is fairly robust. That said, I honestly found the trimmings more exciting and interesting than the gameplay itself. It's probably worth picking up for that aspect alone.

Amidst the trend of instant gratification that the internet and gaming as a whole has perpetuated, having a game that both excels in its puzzles and also challenges your wider perception of it is commendable, and makes Human Resource Machine exponentially essential.

The writing in Hearts of Iron: War Stories was interesting enough to hold my attention for its brief running time, but the dull choices and disappointing ending system make it pretty hard to recommend.

It's a shame, because the core game gets so much right, at least as far as clickers go. And the action-RPG skill-triggering elements give it a unique feel. Plus, there's that adorable baby dragon. But as engaging as this game is at its best, it just could be more fun in the long term.

Pixel Cup Soccer 16 a shot - it doesn’t score an own goal in being a lesser version of a meatier console experience, but instead plays to the device’s strengths and limitations to produce a gratifying mobile game that shouldn’t be missed.

Until recently I had never even heard of the Mr. Crab series, but checking it out spurred me into action, and having played both games, I'm glad I came across it. The second game makes some concessions for streamlining, but it ultimately comes out on top with a stronger set of stages.

I managed to snag Lloyd and freaking Kratos , who is just as ridiculously powerful in game as you would expect from his character, with a passive arte that heals the party and a leader ability that changes three symbols into one, but that’s all I managed to get. All I can say is that this is definitely a worthwhile download, maybe even if you aren’t huge into Tales games, but most definitely if you are.

I highly recommend giving Sky Force Reloaded a shot. It's a fun, well-made shoot 'em up with some unique quirks to it.

Those who like strong story elements or rich characters in their RPGs might want to give the game a pass, though, because it's not particularly good at either of those things, and the weak translation hurts what little is here. Otherwise, Romancing SaGa 2 is a fun, off-beat, challenging addition to Square Enix's mobile line-up, one well-worth tackling.
