I'm sure you've never played as a farmer who must tame the monsters of his kingdom. No matter! Now you can! You'll also get to enjoy a relaxing zen-style puzzle, fight against hordes of enemies, and explore dungeons full of monsters and treasures.

Heroes & Castles

Foursaken Media, the development team behind Block Fortress and Phantom Rift, presents a hybrid of genres. Heroes & Castles is an action and RPG game with strategy and Tower Defense elements that will immerse you in an epic battle like never before. Fight the enemy by choosing one of three heroes while you defend the castle to the death and summon units like dwarves and giants to fight by your side. Level up and learn new skills to face everything from skeletal warriors to mummies, demons, orcs, goblins, and enormous trolls. To make the adventure even better, you can play with a friend in a two-player cooperative mode. Developed by Foursaken Media, Heroes & Castles is available on iOS and Android systems.

One More Line (Free game)

Get ready to enjoy an addictive one-button game where you play with a space disc that will test your skills. One More Line is an arcade game in which you have to take a disc as far as you can through a circuit full of obstacles that you have to dodge in a very particular way: hooking onto them and swinging. It sounds simple, but you have to pay attention to the disc's orbits, as it can make its exit unpredictable. If you crash into an obstacle or into the walls, you automatically lose. It's easy to play but hard to master, the latter due to the increase in difficulty as you progress. Developed by SMG Studio, One More Line is available on iOS, Android and Windows Phone systems.

Puzzledrome

If you're looking for a zen-style puzzle game to relax, take your time, and unravel the solution at your own pace, Puzzledrome is the ideal choice of the week. Each level presents you with a grid of shapes. The goal is to rearrange those shapes so that each column and row is a palindrome in as few moves as possible. However, there is no limit to the number of moves you can make, no penalties for making too many, no timers (and no in-app purchases). It's a wonderfully relaxing puzzle experience. Developed by Asinine Games, Puzzledrome is available on iOS systems.

Mobile games of the week (10/26/17)
Sproggiwood

Sproggiwood

A roguelike set in a humorous world inspired by Finnish mythology. Here you take on the role of a farmer who is a prisoner of Sproggi, a mischievous forest spirit who tasks you with taming the monsters of his kingdom. But things go wrong when you discover a new civilization: will you befriend these curious newcomers, or will you crush them and claim Sproggiwood for yourself? The adventure will have you complete a series of missions in dungeons where you'll find all kinds of monsters and traps that combine to produce totally unique tactical challenges. Developed by Freehold Games, Sproggiwood is available on iOS and Android systems.

Tallowmere

Lady Tallowmere has a gloomy dungeon to explore, full of traps and monsters. But if you can survive, you can claim the loot. A fair deal if we see it that way. While Tallowmere is very fun, with intuitive and mapped virtual buttons, the game's sense of humor particularly stands out. For example, if you want to increase your HP points to the max, all you have to do is kill an adorable kitten. It's also a small homage to classic Metroidvania games, with a difficulty level that can be configured for those who prefer a greater challenge. Developed by Chris McFarland, Tallowmere is available on iOS and Android systems.
