Want to have a good time on your mobile device? Start with Block Fortress, a Minecraft-like game with strategy and tower defense, Scribblenauts Unlimited, where words create objects, and Altered Beast, Sega's classic beat 'em up, among many more games.
Altered Beast (Free)
Sega has just released its Sega Forever line, a collection of classic games available for free on mobile devices. One of the selected titles is the classic arcade beat 'em up Altered Beast, set in ancient Greece, following the adventures of a centurion resurrected by Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena. To succeed, he can transform into beasts like the werewolf using a spirit sphere. Across five levels, you fight undead and demonic hordes, ending each stage with a grotesque boss battle. Developed by Sega, Altered Beast is available on iOS and Android.
Block Fortress
A game that combines the freedom and creativity of block-building games like Minecraft with the strategy of tower defense and the action of first-person shooters, creating a unique gaming experience. Block Fortress offers over thirty different construction blocks, sixteen turret blocks, and tons of additional building elements (including mining blocks, wood blocks, storage crates, power generators, and much more). It also includes many weapon upgrades and items so your character can fight against the relentless attacks of the Goblocks. Build your fortress and defend it to the end! Developed by Foursaken Media, Block Fortress is available on iOS and Android.
Scribblenauts Unlimited
A Scribblenauts game is like any other Scribblenauts game in that you know exactly what you're playing. Scribblenauts Unlimited invites you to travel across a map, using your creativity to help people and creatures by writing words that solve their problems. It's a bit easier than previous games (if you're looking for a higher challenge, you can try Scribblenauts Remix), which means you'll finish it faster. If you're a fan of Scribblenauts, it's worth playing. Developed by 5th Cell, Scribblenauts Unlimited is available on iOS and Android.
Sometimes You Die
Sometimes you get the controller and win a game, and sometimes you die. Sometimes You Die is a game about that. You control a small black box with an arrow indicating which direction the box is (actually it's a minus sign and a plus sign), advancing through a dangerous 2D platform environment where you'll find spikes and blades as obstacles to jump over. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your little black box to survive. The result is a game that asks you the question: what is a game? Developed by Philipp Stollenmayer, Sometimes You Die is available exclusively on iOS.
Wave Wave
This is one of those games that can best be described as 'diabolical'. Wave Wave has a minimal interface, and the objective is to advance along a line through an irregular path, zigzagging to a cracked rhythm. There are several different game modes where the difficulty varies (ideal for practicing until you get the hang of it), but the core remains the same. But remember this: You are going to crash. A lot. But somehow, it's almost impossible to stop playing this addictive game. Developed by Tom Janson, Wave Wave is available on iOS and Android.
