There isn’t another baseball game out for mobile devices that walks the line between arcade action and sim quite like this one, and even though it leans toward the arcade side more than a little, it’s still versatile enough to be fun for a wide range of sports gamers. It can’t be overstated just how nice it is to be playing with the real MLB teams this time around, so if you were on the fence about previous Tap Sports Baseball titles, that should be enough to get you to jump in for 2017.

Tiny Dice Dungeon is still very much worth a roll if you're a fan of RPGs.

An excellent little game that manages to do something with a genre that's been all but played out for a while. It's a lot of fun and incredibly entertaining. Plus, it contains 75 different levels to play through, so there's a lasting appeal here.

For those who make it through the first 50 puzzles, there is a promise of more challenges coming soon. Even without more levels, the reasonable $0.99 download cost is a value for the experience.

If Vainglory is missing anything, it’s probably some kind of overall system of progression, one that rewards the truly dedicated by allowng them to customize their builds a little more.

It's a simple game with a simple goal in mind, and because it's so adorable it's going to attract some attention. Be patient and try not to shout at the IAP section, and you'll be rewarded with a very pleasant casual puzzle game.

The game is full of those small touches that can easily go overlooked, but indicate true love on behalf of the developers: the golden crown that appears on your unicorn when all stars have been collected; the little speech bubble from the King when he's inside a fish cannon, saying "I'm in here!"; or the fact that one of the King's power-ups is an actual green sticky hand.

The game features challenging, inventive, and just plain fun gameplay that will test even the best of players. Besides, look into those little orange eyes: you can't say no to that, can you?

Overall, Outfolded will be appealing for puzzle-lovers — but also for those who enjoy a mellow game experience with some brain-teasing as well. The chill-but-challenging vibe will keep you progressing without any pressure and feeling clever while you do it.

Fact of the matter is that Snappy Dragons is fun on all accounts. Stylistically, it looks and sounds great, and is a wonderful combination of two popular games. What makes it even better though is that it doesn't blatantly copy either. Instead, it takes the core concepts of both Angry Birds and Worms and rolls them together with a uniqueness -- in both play mechanics and puzzle design -- all its own.

Cave Bowling features original design, mechanics and challenges, something many iPhone games lack these days. For the price, it's a prehistoric good time on the go.

Star Wars Clash of Clans is Star Wars Clash of Clans. If that sounds appealing to you, you’re going to really dig what Star Wars Commander has to offer. If you didn’t like Clash of Clans, this probably isn’t going to turn you around.

I had a good time with Chronology, and I’m going to bet you will too. It’s brief, but makes great use of its ideas. Time travel is an underused gameplay mechanic, and I hope more games use it like Chronology does.

If you were a Draw Something fan, but felt like it needed a breath of fresh air, ScribbleMix may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Overall, Deep Under The Sky is a great little casual game that does some neat, fresh things, while simultaneously looking very prettying doing so.

Despite the postmanly inconvenience of carrying a letter up 100 floors of a cursed tower, we’ve enjoyed every near-death step, every trap door surprise, and every zombie-eaten fece.

A game with much hidden depth.

If you’re going to emulate another game, you might as well follow the example set by one that is best in class, and while I doubt that CoC has anything to worry about from CoD, this is a perfectly acceptable genre and franchise mash-up that shoud garner its fair share of fans.

Fowlst is the type of mobile game I’m always happy to see more of. It’s simple and accessible, but also nuanced and difficult. It’s meant to be played in short bursts, but also rewards players who stick with it over time. It’s this (not quite) perfect little bite-sized, self-contained piece of arcade-y fun.

Stack Rabbit presents a new take on the match-three genre, and it's nearly as addictive as Candy Crush Saga.

However you choose to play Satellina, it’s a bare-bones but unique puzzle experience that simultaneously calms you down while causing your heart to pitter-patter during its more intense moments.

For those who enjoy a mindless experience, this isn’t going to scratch that itch. Stick with something more banal. For those looking for more of a challenge though, this is a good example of refining rather than revolutionizing a familiar idea.

Rail Maze, with over 100 levels and thousands of downloads, certainly seems to be one of the hotter casual games out there at the moment. If you're looking for a puzzle game that puts you under pressure and also allows for some creativity on your part, you'll want to be hopping on this train.

If you’re a fan of Japanese horror or visual novels (Saya no Uta comes to mind) you should find plenty to love in Corpse Party. And even if you’re not a fan, give it a try anyway!

It can confidently be said Dragon Quest I is one of the best RPGs on mobile (possibly only bested by its big brothers), and though it’s a shorter game, its $2.99 price tag is perfectly reasonable.

Like a soccer player who favors one foot, FIFA 15 Ultimate Team depends entirely on its one strength. Still, that one gameplay mode is a successful one, and at least the game has stopped pretending to be something it’s not.

If you like cars, pixels, and a tough challenge, Pixel Drifters will take up residence on your home screen for a long while.

Ultimately, there’s enough here to remind you to come back for more, with its fan service being a particular delight, especially when it comes to offering previously unreleased tracks. However, even non-fans who enjoy a solid RPG should be able to rock out to what Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast has to offer.
