25. Birdie Crush: Fantasy Golf Who would have thought a golf
game with anime characters would come up on our mobile list? For a cute name such as this one,
of course we’d expect something adorable. All aesthetics aside, it’s still a golf
game. Picture Mario Golf, but with attractive characters taking the club. A playscore of 8.07.

23. Shadow Of Death 2 A familiar concept takes our 23rd spot.

Climb the leaderboards but be mindful of its aggressive microtransactions. A playscore of 8.14.

its pay-to-win mechanics and game-changing microtransactions. A playscore of 8.50.
6. NBA Ball Stars
Don’t expect an actual NBA game here. Ball Stars is a puzzle game at most. You’ll meet

nostalgic. Help these badass bounty hunters secure the bag in this sprawling cyberpunk city
in stylish side-scrolling retro shooting action. Huntdown takes pride in its inspirations from
the games that came before and adds its own unique and modern twist. It receives a playscore of 8.72.
