There are very few games like this on the App store, which makes it worth playing if you care even a little bit about the adventure genre. It'll make for a nice breath of fresh air between all those physics puzzlers out there.- TouchArcade

As it stands, UsagiMan is a relatively pleasant surprise. It's free, it's fun, and it offers up an afternoon of entertainment if you can deal with the sometimes annoying ads.- TouchArcade

I applaud the creative spirit behind Once Upon a Jester, and I had a decent time playing through it. I’d love to see these characters again, and I hope to see more from this developer in the future. The game thankfully reaches its conclusion before the novelty wears out completely, but some parts of it get a little repetitive even within that span of time. It’s an affable affair, and its quirky charms are worth experiencing even with a few shortcomings in tow.- TouchArcade

It's not the cleverest, perhaps, and that's a strike against it for any aspiring linguists in the crowd. On the other hand, it's sharp, attractive and fun.- TouchArcade

Fort Triumph is enjoyable, especially early on. The rules of the battle system are well-designed, the visuals are colorful and attractive, and the difficulty curve is pleasing. You’re better off enjoying it in its Skirmish mode than its Campaign Mode, because while it’s all well-made enough I feel it gets rather repetitive over the course of the story. I don’t think I would recommend it to a fan of Heroes of Might & Magic in spite of its leanings, but those who enjoy turn-based tactics games will find plenty here to fill their bellies.- TouchArcade

If you already played Amnesia: Memories before, you can safely skip this release. The Switch version is worth grabbing on sale if you’re new to this world, and I know I will be getting it eventually to go alongside my physical edition of Amnesia: Later x Crowd to complete the set, but I wish this was priced appropriately given its age and price on other platforms. Newcomers to the series will find a lot to like here, but it is definitely overpriced right now.- TouchArcade

There are just over twenty levels, but you’ll fight tooth and nail to get through them. Boss battles are particularly punishing and memorable. Ultimately, this is a game I liked well enough but also find hard to recommend.- TouchArcade

The level of description in the game is obviously not as thorough as Austen's original novel, although it does hit on all the major plot-points.- TouchArcade

If you're looking for a new dual stick shooter and you aren't tired of zombie hunting, you could do a lot worse than mini. Just don't expect much in terms of innovation either in the gameplay or zombie front.- TouchArcade

The game's simplicity belies its lasting appeal-the timeless "just one more round" feeling is there with Razor, and it's because of that hook and a few of the game's small but important features that it can burrow its way into your brain and illicit the craving for earning just a few more Razorbucks.- TouchArcade

Cartoon Survivor packs delights and annoyances in near equal measures, a combination I know has its fans. For anyone else? Well, the first bit is free for a reason.- TouchArcade

FurryFury: Smash & Roll is built on a reliable game concept and it executes it well enough. It’s priced right, too. It can be a bit of a frustrating grind to play alone, but if you can pull in a friend or manage to find someone online to battle against, the game really shows its true strength. I think the game is more fun to play on mobile, but this isn’t a bad way to play it either.- TouchArcade

It's more like one of those oddities you stumble across buried in a collection of classics than a headliner on the front of the box, but Pick-Xell's enjoyable enough to be worth playing with for a little while.- TouchArcade

Alpha Mission II is hardly a must-have or a must-play, but a decent enough spin for the few bucks it’s selling for. If you enjoy classic shoot-em-ups, you’ll get a few thrills out of this. More importantly, it fits the mobile platform a lot more comfortably than its peers in the Arcade Archives line-up so far. The game plays quite well with the virtual controls, so even if you don’t have access to an external controller you can still have a really good time. If you want to see what these Arcade Archives releases are all about in the best possible light, this is the one to get.- TouchArcade

Ace Maverick looks great, controls well, and is pretty fun in the beginning. Unfortunately, the difficulty juts up incredibly fast and left me feeling a bit of whiplash.- TouchArcade

Convergence: A League of Legends Story is a game I definitely recommend on another platform. In its current state, the performance is a bit too variable for my liking on Switch. If it sees more optimization through updates, I’ll feel differently. Right now, it is an excellent platformer with polished gameplay and level design, but one held back by technical issues on Switch. I hope this does get fixed because the genre perfectly suits Nintendo’s hybrid system. This is definitely one of Riot Forge’s best releases so far, which makes the Switch version all the more disappointing.- TouchArcade

As it is, it's a game that's definitely a solid way to spend some time, if not a bit disappointing because it could be so much more.- TouchArcade

Looking at it as a whole, Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny makes a couple of very strong steps forward but sacrifices much in the process. It feels like it’s building a foundation for the future, but like most games of that sort it also comes off as a bit weaker than would be preferred. In some ways, it’s a game I’d like to recommend to Disgaea newcomers. It’s certainly more accessible than some previous entries. On the other hand, it runs horribly on the Switch, the story is entirely forgettable, and I think you’ll find a considerably better value overall in picking up Disgaea 1 Complete or Disgaea 5 Complete. As good as it is to see a new game in the series, Disgaea 6 feels a bit undercooked.- TouchArcade

It’s still a fun game and players that put forth the effort can get enjoyment out of the additions. However, it just didn’t fully do it for me like the original did.- TouchArcade

It's a great looking, quick-paced game that is perfectly suited to the App Store, and shouldn't require much thought to pick up for those interested in strategic and competitive multiplayer puzzlers.- TouchArcade

Assuming you don't mind a game that, while presenting itself well doesn't offer much in terms of innovation, you can do a lot worse than checking out 10tons latest title. Just make sure that your expectations are tempered ahead of time.- TouchArcade

Platforming controls are thankfully solid, but the combat simply doesn’t have enough depth to it to keep things interesting across the many skirmishes you’ll engage in. The presentation of the game is quite good, though the lengthy loading times make deaths sting that extra bit more. I think if you’re patient with Blue Fire you’ll find a lot to like here, but it really could have been a lot more.- TouchArcade

If you're the sort that likes to get all of the endings and keep playing to see where all the choices take you, Saga of the North Wind may well leave you feeling as weary as the travelers in the story itself.- TouchArcade

If you enjoyed doing time loops to help out all the people in Clock town in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, you’ll probably have some basic appreciation of how Orten Was The Case is set up. It’s certainly an interesting game, and it does a great job of investing you in its little neighborhood and the oddballs who reside there. Some awkward puzzles pull the experience down a little, but what hurts it the most is the unnecessary addition of action sequences that just fall flat. Those who can forgive a few serious rough edges might find this a decent evening’s entertainment.- TouchArcade

Rocket Bunnies never completely grabbed me. It's a solid, even game that's good across the board that is never quite great. If you're looking for a new physics platformer, you certainly won't go wrong grabbing this one. It's not quite a universe of entertainment, but it's a galaxy or two for sure.- TouchArcade

While I don’t think there’s really a lot of merit in turning this into a continuing series, Those Games 2 shows that there was at least enough gas in the tank for one more. Much like the first Those Games, you’ll come for the amusing concept and stay for the well-devised challenge of the later stages. Support for both button and touch controls is quite welcome, too. If you’ve wanted to take a swing at heating the king without rewarding those huckster marketers, this is worth picking up.- TouchArcade
