    A remarkably generous offering from Team17. Fun, playable, and stuffed to bursting point with content.

    Mochi-O is a charming action experience in which you battle hordes of enemies using a genetically modified hamster.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dodging and weaving through World War II, My Army is an exciting and frantic addition to a genre that's already got its fair share of classics.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An incredibly slick fighting system and top class presentation make this a must for anyone seeking an alternative to the usual one-on-one fighters.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A few niggling issues stop Uprising from being a heavenly experience, but for a star who's spent over two decades out of the spotlight, Pit's return is nothing short of a triumph.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A treat for the Atlus faithful, Shin Megami Tensei will challenge and reward you in a way that few RPGs on the App Store can manage.

    An exceptional port of one of my favourite games. However, there is a question of how this almost ten-year-old game could have been slightly better adapted to mobile for commuters and how it will develop from here.

    A fine mixture of excellent presentation, surprising depth, and perfect control, Shellrazer is one of the most compelling action games we've seen on iOS in quite some time, but its intense action may not be for everyone.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pixel Ranger's presentation can't be faulted, and it offers a stern arcade challenge for those who are skilful enough to master its occasionally taxing control system.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The marble shooter genre gets a rock twist in this deranged but captivating effort. Avoid the temptation to use the in-app purchases and you'll find that this keeps you busy for quite some time.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A manic game that requires performance enhancing drugs to keep up with it. We suspect it's an audition piece for The Last Starfighter.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Arena blaster fans will thoroughly enjoy Alien Chaos 3D, especially if they have a (strange) predilection for cleaning up their mess afterwards.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A remarkable achievement and a hugely interesting idea, Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition's inherent identity crisis could be its undoing though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Invert is a really cracking puzzler which offers up plenty of head-scratching challenges and bags of solvers' satisfaction.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A dig 'em up with depth that deftly marries a bit of arcade action with cunning puzzling.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bright, beautiful and extremely playable, Revenant Wings breathes new life into the portable line of Final Fantasies.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite a potentially steep learning curve and light replayability, Super Gridland's unique approach is well worth checking out by fans of the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid little game with some standout moments, Super Tiny Leap is definitely worth checking out.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Like so many games nowadays, Atomik: RunGunJumpGun is presented in a lovely pixel art style, but the biggest plus point is the soundtrack. It each level brilliantly, especially when you're wearing headphones. ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun becomes very atmospheric when played this way. Which is a major pro as there's barely any story here and what is delivered via soundbite dialogue between stages feels a bit tacked on. What could be a relatively bland game truly excels on the Switch, and if you're a completist going for all the collectibles, you'll be here for a long time.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Offering the right kind of ludic lunacy, Time Ducks is a wacky winner.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A well put together match-three puzzler with a solid RPG built around it, Darkin is well worth some time and effort.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An appealing combat racer that's critically hampered by frequent momentum-sapping breaks in the action and an overbearing ad system.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    GemCraft is an unusual tower defence game with a wealth of content and some clever twists to the usual formula.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A commendable refresh of a classic from gaming's prehistory, Centipede: Origins expands on the core gameplay of the original to deliver a fun and addictive experience.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While most people will never see it through to the end, those who persevere with The Curse are in for one of the most difficult puzzling experiences going.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A bright, shiny arcade blaster with a cartoon swagger and enough challenge to keep shooter fans grinning maniacally.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you missed out on this unique puzzle-platform game when it hit the PlayStation Vita, here's your chance for a trip through the underworld.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Part-Angry Birds, part-tower defence, part-action game, all ace: CastleStorm - Free to Siege is a curious mix of surprisingly complementary genres.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Enter the nightmares of a sweet kid and help them escape through moments of joy by solving slow-paced puzzles and lots of clicking.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An awful lot of fun in small doses, Velocirapture is only let down by the fact it's a little bit too easy.
