Arel Wars' strategy gameplay gets easier to comprehend over time, but it's still just too much information thrown at the player to be much fun, and the paywall that the game hits about 20 levels in is just more frustrating than anything. Strategy fans and Gamevil fans may enjoy this, but that's about it.

Monster Warrior isn't a groundbreaking game by any means. It does justice to the slice and dice style of its genre, but there are a few things it could be doing better to stack up more favorably against the competition. That said, players looking for a spooky slicing game to help them get into the Halloween spirit may like this one.

There's fun to be had from Super Word Scramble but it's unrefined and flawed. It's more forgivable at $0.99, but still means it's more of a 'if nothing else stands out' kind of purchase.

A Numbers Game is too inoffensive to be good or bad.

Link the Slug is an OK puzzle game, but it lacks some much needed personality.

Offering four adventure game books in one, The Sagas of Fire*Wolf is some serious value for the money.

Veering a little too close for comfort to other games of the same ilk, Dragon Puzzle is a slightly confusing card game/RPG/Match Three hybrid lacking in soul.

Voyageur's biggest problem is that there isn't enough of it. For a game about exploring an environment as vast as space, the whole game becomes pretty familiar and feels really small after spending just a short time with it. As much as I love what is currently in Voyageur's package right now, they way it gets recycled makes it hard to recommend.

Despite its looks, this Warhammer 40k strategy game is about as graceful and elegant as the bulky space marines being portrayed.

This real-time strategy game has players managing firefighters in various disaster situations.

The interesting ideas behind Dynasty of the Magi are certainly worth noting and since it’s free there’s no harm in taking a look. Sadly it’s just not a good game. Free or not, it’s just not something I could see anyone playing for an extended period of time.

I'm glad to see Colin Lane continuing to make weird sports games, but I'd like to see things trend more toward things like Golf Zero than Touchdowners. Although this game doesn't really feel like football, it still feels a little too much like a sport. This makes Touchdowners seem like something you might want to play with someone else, but not alone against AI.

This city builder is a pleasant way to spend some time, but is otherwise a pretty familiar clicker.

This updated puzzle game offers some creative gameplay and new mechanics, but still suffers from difficult controls.

Tidal Drive is built on a solid concept, but its controls are a washout.

Fight for total control in this numbers-based real-time strategy game.

This parody of a dating sim suffers from some unlikable characters and repetitive gameplay.

A vertical racing free-to-play game that looks great on the surface, but suffers from in-app purchases that lower its playtime value.

As it stands though and at its low price, Movie Quotes Hangman is still worth playing for the film buff. Just don't expect it to last forever.

Axe and Fate. is a turn-based adventure RPG played in the first person. Unfortunately, it suffers from fragmented gameplay and difficult controls.

Despite Ravenous Games' pedigree of solid releases, this endless running experience feels like it has a flat tire.

Busy Bags is just like so many other time management games. Nothing really stands out to be as being really good or really bad. The gameplay has its moments of fun, but the controls and pace of the game need a little work.

There is some satisfaction in Death Point's stealth action, but all of it comes with a bevy of caveats. Mechanically, it is capable of delivering experiences reminiscent of Splinter Cell or Hitman, but its story, characters, and design all get in the way. This makes Death Point hardly worth checking out, even if you're a big stealth-action fan.

Part of what hampered the controls for me was the lack of lateral space in portrait mode. Combined with the fairly wide flock awareness circles, this left me having to carefully micromanage strategic sheep maneuvers with tiny movements that rendered time bonuses almost impossible to get after the first couple of chapters.

There might be plenty to do here, but Dark District is a title that's too samey for comfort.

Here's hoping Pac-Man's 40th birthday is more satisfying, and that he doesn't end up growing a ponytail and buying a red sports car to overcompensate. That would just be sad.

For all its failings, Tide of the Dead isn't really a bad game. It's just a very unpolished one.

A Dark Room may have plenty of longevity and may be genuinely intriguing, but its interface feels undeveloped in its iOS iteration.
