Castle Battles

Castle Battles (Free game): There's usually a lot of depth in real-time strategy. It's a genre that invites careful planning and long-term execution, but Castle Battles has found a way to bring that depth to battles in the genre for the mobile format. Each battle takes place on an island, and gameplay has been reduced to three basic elements: gathering resources, deploying troops, and conquering enemy territory. There are four campaigns to play, a wonderfully quirky sense of humor, and gameplay served in shorter levels that are perfectly calibrated for short sessions. Developed by Light Arc Studio, Castle Battles is available on iOS and Android.

Geometry Dash

A rhythm-based platform game that features levels created by RobTop, as well as levels made by community members. Geometry Dash has no story, and it doesn't even need one, since you don't need much motivation to make sure your character, a customizable block depending on how many things you unlock, survives through the levels. The goal is to complete a level by reaching the end; things start out simple, as you only have to avoid spikes by syncing your jumps on platforms, but soon you'll encounter the game's true difficulty. Developed by RobTop Games, Geometry Dash is available on iOS and Android.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!

A remake of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee but with several surprises along the way. In Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, you control Abe, a slave of the Mudokon race who must save his coworkers from the clutches of Molluck, who plans to sell nothing less than Mudokon meat. Swipe your finger left and right on your phone screen to move Abe, or up to jump and down to roll. Voice commands are activated by tapping an icon and then the sentence you want your character to say. Beyond that, the game keeps all the old puzzles, platforms, conversations with your fellow Mudokons, assassinations, and possession but with better graphics. Developed by Just Add Water, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! is available on iOS and Android.

Pavilion

Pavilion: You'll spend the first moments of Pavilion watching a small man run, puzzled as to what to do. Don't worry, it's all part of the experience: getting into things and figuring out what you need to do to solve each level's puzzle. As you do, the gameplay and story reveal themselves slowly, completely without words. And the setting is absolutely beautiful, with a strange series of ruins and beautiful soundscapes. Immerse yourself in a mysterious, evocative world without any tutorial or initial explanation to enjoy a unique experience. Developed by Visiontrick Media AB, Pavilion is available exclusively on iOS.

Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times

Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times: Fight against the rising tide of Chaos in Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times, a tactical dungeon crawler set in the Old World of Warhammer Fantasy games. In this sequel to Warhammer Quest, you take command of a group of heroes from the different races of the Warhammer world to loot dungeons and defeat enemies while searching for a mystical artifact. The base game comes with a campaign of ten primary and secondary missions; but the adventure can be extended with additional missions and characters available through in-app purchases. Developed by Perchang, Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times is available on iOS and Android.
