with Haunted Heartbeats, romance comes in twisted, supernatural forms. As a member of

14. Age of Apes TAP4FUN creates another environment for building,
innovation, and battles--this time set in a distant Age of Apes. You might expect it

build up your own city, and win the race towards the banana in the sky. Aside from its unique
gameplay functions, it also boasts a lot of functionality in terms of team strategies
and attacks. It has a gamerscore of 9.40
13. Shadow Knight Hack and Slash games are great for when you
just hit things. Now, with this game from Fansipan Limited, you can get that kind of
action on the comforts of your mobile phone. Telling the story of a Shadow Knight who dives
into hell to bring back the light into a world sunk into despair, use your skills and magical
abilities to plow through the waves of monsters and demons that come your way. What makes
it even more compelling, is that its dark, silhouetted visual style makes for animations
that are smooth, fast, and exciting. It receives a gamerscore of 9.40
12. Riding Cubes Sometimes all you need is a light, casual
time killer, and Riding Cubes definitely fits that. Take to their neon environments and
slide across their simple tracks populated with bricks and diamonds. The game is essentially
a balancing act between survival and scores. Bump into similarly colored blocks to take
them into your stead, and use them as fodder against the brick obstacles that lay in your
path to a new high score. It's simple, straightforward, but also sneakily addictive. A perfect company
in small waits, it gets a gamerscore of 9.41
11. Battle Legion Mass Battler A casual game for hardcore battle fans! There
might've been some mass battlers out there before, but they don't seem to look as good
as this one. Using visuals that are familiar to long-time mobile gamers, Battle Legion
makes planning out war tactics seems simple. You'll have all the freedom of picking out
your units, whether its close combat warriors, archers, fortifications, and so much more.
Decide which layout will bode well against a limitless pool of opponents and their own
variety gameplay styles. Strategy for both casuals and veterans, it gets a gamerscore
of 9.42
10. Phantom Rose Scarlet It's always impressive to find games carved
out of nothingness by solo developers. We had one of those gems last month in this roguelike
adventure by makaroll. On the surface, it may seem like your run of the mill mobile
game. But, it hides a lot of uniqueness and complexity within its card-based gameplay.
Build your deck with their over 100 different cards, experiment with different playstyles
to discover what works for you, and dive into dungeons packed with challenging monsters.
Another great strategy game, it gets a gamerscore of 9.45
9. Soda Dungeon 2 The sequel to one of the best RPGs on the
iOS has finally arrived on the Android. After a furious battle with a dark lord in one dimension,
it's time to climb back up the ladders of roleplaying riches in another. Just like the
first game, you won't have to do it all alone. Just upgrade your local tavern with chairs
and the best sodas money can buy, and loot the dark lord's dungeons once again. Still
presented with detailed pixel visuals and the same tongue in cheek humor, the sequel
definitely lives up to the original and it receives a gamerscore
of 9.45
8. Aggretsuko An anime about a cute red panda that sings
death metal at night may not be the best poster girl for the contemplative match-three puzzle
game. But developers HIVE somehow make it work, injecting the mad fury of Retsuko in-between
her quiet office life antics. Gather round the animals in their calm puzzle games, ask
for help, and boosts from her friendly co-workers and conquer the day without breaking out in
anger. For fans of the show, you'll even be able to watch the episodes from the inside
game itself. It has a gamerscore of 9.46 on the iOS and 9.39 on the android
7. Kite Flying Festival Challenge Kite Flying is a sport that many enjoy around
the world, and now you can enjoy it even without the wind, cuts, and glue. As far the app goes,
it's a pretty barebones game. Get into the action by aligning yourself with one of the
kites and alternating between pulling and letting go to cut the rival kites. With enough
wins, you'll be able to buy and collect a variety of different kite designs. For people
who haven't played the sport, it might be hard to get into. And, we'd be willing to
bet it's not quite as exciting as the real thing. Still, it gets a gamerscore of 9.51
6. Awakening of the Eclipse: Otome Romance Game
As we said before, Otome Romance Games are a godsend, especially in unprecedented times
like today. With Awakening of the Eclipse, we get a taste of new romance as a junior
college student that's swept away into bloody nightmares and into the arms of the man of
her dreams. You'll have three guys vying for your attention: a hot-headed fighter, a bookworm,
and a vampire lord. Your choices, and maybe a few minutes worth of ads, will eventually
decide which heart you will win forever. All the drama and romance without the heartbreak,
it receives a gamerscore of 9.57
5. MARVEL Duel The card game genre has set itself apart with
the simplicity of its gameplay and the seriousness of its strategy, Marvel Duel shows us what
gaming today is capable of. Featuring their iconic roster of heroes and supervillains,
watch the card battles come alive as you aim to outwit each of your opponents in a bid
to restore the Marvel Universe. Heavy as it is, it might be exciting for fans to watch
their favorite characters interact and battle in full 3D cinematics. If you can sit through
a few of their post-launch bugs, this may be worth your time with a gamerscore of 9.59
4. Solitaire Klondike Fish While solitaire is already a pretty solid
choice for a FREE mobile game, this entry takes recreation to another level. Not only
do you get the basic solitaire experience in a simple, clear-cut manner, you also get
to do it in the comforts of the undersea environment, along with cute fishes and a cool blue backdrop.
This might sound like a mafia job gone wrong, but it is actually a pretty neat experience
that even guides you through each game with some helpful hints. While there are still
the usual ads, they never get int the way of the full solitaire experience. It receives
a gamerscore of 9.68
3. Tales of Crestoria The Tales series has been giving us some of
the best that JRPGs can offer from console to console, and now they're conquering the
mobile too. In Tales of Crestoria, we have a brand new adventure that expands our appreciation
for the long-running series. Crestoria is a relatively generous game that lets you choose
your starter characters, reward you with gems, and get to know characters from the Tales
world. Still, a bit bogged down by gacha elements and premium currencies, it gets a playscore
of 7.40
2. Good Sudoku by Zach Gage Sudoku is not an easy game to learn. But,
thankfully, through the valiant efforts of Zack Gage and Jack Schlesinger, even the humblest
beginners will find a way to enjoy this classic puzzle game. Good Sudoku has a few features
that will hold your hand through your first steps. With focus mode, find the best house,
rows, and columns for each selected number and sift through each of the nine digits until
you've found a home for each one. The full package will open you up to an ad-less experience,
as well as a number of modes and customizations. It has a playscore of 8.10
1. Creaks The first thing you'll probably notice about
this game is just how gorgeous it looks. Another game from Amanita Design--the makers of Botanicula
and Samorost--Creaks takes you on an adventure around a gloomy yet magical world of labyrinthine
hallways, levers, and creepy bird-like monsters. It's definitely a premium looking experience,
and if you're wondering what the catch is: it's only free to apple arcade subscribers.
If you have time to try out Apple's new service for free, you'll get to experience our number
one title with a playscore of 8.44
