If you just want to spend a few hours smashing monsters with a hammer and unleashing rune magic, Wraithborne can definitely help you out with that. Just keep in mind that it's probably going to be more a fling than a long term relationship.

With plenty of levels to play through and online leaderboards to master, we'll be playing Roboto for a good while longer. It's just a shame that those controls couldn't be a little tighter.

Ultimately Strife is a real time-warp, but one that’s actually quite enjoyable if you go in with the right mindset and a fair bit of patience. For the low price it’s certainly worth a punt, but those expecting a polished modern-day experience might go away scratching their heads.

Is it fun? Yeah, for sure, and even though there’s a lot going on it’s never overwhelming. It’s not the most innovative game on the App Store, but it’s a great way to waste a few minutes here and there. This is a great distraction that’s going to keep you occupied for just as long as you let it.

If you're a fan of endless runners and want a change of pace, there's plenty of fun to be had in Verticus. Just be ready for a challenge – and due to some perspective frustrations, that challenge may sometimes be an unintentional one.

Monster Rolling could benefit from some fine-tuning, but it’s still an amiable game in its current form. If you love tooling around with digital slot machines, you may as well raise some monsters while you do so.

A fun game that does a pretty good job of combining a couple of different types of genres together. It feels imprecise at times, and this (plus the randomness) can sometimes lead to frustration, but it’s also meant to be replayed after you inevitably lose so it’s not that big a deal. Mostly. Except when you fail because of said frustrations. Still, jumping back into things is easy enough.

Beautiful, charming, and wonderfully addictive, but it has a few issues that are holding it back.

But if you're active in the MLP fandom and you have cash to burn, it's probably worth the money and effort necessary to make a town that's worth showing off. Friendship is Magic, but envy is a heck of a motivator, too.

RadBalls is a fun little bite-sized experience that is worth playing through, even if only for the bright and colorful aesthetic and the amazing upbeat soundtrack. It isn't overly complicated, it's easy to pick up and learn, utilizes the multi-touch capabilities of the iOS devices, and would be a great game for all ages to play around with.

Inevitably, there’s a pay to win style system in place. If you throw money at the problem, you can unlock things faster and progress at a steadier rate. It’s tempting to do, but SIEGE: Titan Wars just about throws enough freebies at you to make it possible to resist. There’s also the issue that you’re going to end up fading away from SIEGE: Titan Wars. After all, it’s a mixture of things you’ve seen before. Without the touch of class and precision that something like Clash Royale offers, it doesn’t quite have the staying power. For a little while though, it’s quite appealing.

While Centipede Ultra may offer an experience that's only a fraction of Atari's inexplicably defunct 2008 Centipede release for the iPhone, it's also a game that gives us little reason to complain.

It's actually a very fun and addictive game, so long as you don't mind not having any idea of what's going on and just throwing things until something works.

At the end of the day, Space City is a nice diversion in the lacking social genre on iOS. While most games are simply content with being simple, Space City is at least polished and mostly focused.

Just be prepared to part with some very cute little pigs.

Heroes of Dragon Age is a decent collectable card game, though its poor stamina system and passive battles make it difficult to recommend to hardcore Dragon Age fans who enjoy the series for its action and exploration.

If you like Rage of Bahamut but would prefer something with a kinder, gentler, perhaps more kid-friendly style (and you don't mind forking over a few bucks now and then, or lagging well behind those who do), then Monster Paradise is probably just what you're looking for.

As tower defense games go, Jelly Defense starts out with the potential to be one of the greats. Unfortunately, it never really lives up to this possibility, and that's really too bad because it manages to get some very big aspects very right in very big ways. It's sort of like JELL-O that way: it looks like it'll be awesome, but then turns out to be merely okay.

It's not a game I'd recommend to everyone, but Quizboard is something I could see resonating with a lot of people. It's also free to play, meaning you've no excuse to avoid giving it a chance.

So even though Joust Legend isn't what we had in mind when we first heard the name, it's still a fun game with a great sense of atmosphere and fun mechanics. Don't be afraid to give this one a look.

Hambo has some quirks which are more a matter of personal preference as to whether you would appreciate them or not. Beyond that, with the exception of a couple of gameplay issues named above, Hambo is a pretty solid, fun game with over 200 levels, so you should be kept occupied for quite a while if you go with it.

But if you’re looking for a tough as old boots game that doesn’t seem to follow any of the rules of making a successful mobile game in 2016, and yet still manages to be the sort of experience you’re likely to lose hours to, then Cubway is definitely worth your time.

Where Solitairica falters is its depth. It’s not as deep as it sounds. Once you’ve unlocked all the classes, you’ll find yourself gravitating to your favorite and mostly using the same spells repeatedly. That’s fine, but it means that Solitairica outstays its welcome eventually. There are only so many times you can play it until you feel as if you’ve had your fill and seen enough. Fortunately, that amount of content just about warrants a purchase, but you’ll burn out earlier than your initial playthroughs would have you think.

Ultimately Vagante is no masterpiece, but it has an impressively satisfying core gameplay loop that will help this appeal to more hardened roguelike fans. Less experienced fans of the genre may want to steer clear though.

Deckmake Fantasy does well on so many levels that it's a real shame that the localization issues are constantly being thrown front and center. If you can look past that, then you'll have very little to complain about while playing. I'd call it a bummer, but it's by no means a dealbreaker.

This is evolution rather than revolution, and not even a particularly dramatic evolution.

Aside from a few missteps in design, Mirrors of Albion is still an incredibly ambitious game that has a lot of heart, and is perfect for social and hidden object gamers of all ages. If you're looking for a different kind of hidden object game, or a social game with a magical twist, then this imaginative romp through London might be just the fit for you.

Rock Runners is a great addition to the one-button runner genre, and runner fans should definitely consider giving it a whirl. What we really need now is a sequel that isn't so dependent on the same content being mashed together over and over again.
