Are you one of those people that like gacha role playing games? Then Raid: Shadow Legends is for you. This game boasts awesome 3d graphics and a gameplay that will keep you busy for hours.

Whether you want to fight it out in the arena against peers or spend your time on campaign missions, this fantasy game has it all. You need to build your own army to raid others and save the world from darkness. You even get to develop your own champion from a selection of over 100.

The downside to this game is that progress can be slow if you don’t have the money or data to spend on special offers. But other than that there isn’t much to complain about because the game is completely free.

This zombie apocalypse game isn’t like the rest. Instead of fighting zombies head on, you get to move around tiles to fend off the zombies. That’s a lot better than most puzzle games where you aimlessly match tiles. Here at least your actions have some purpose. 

This is a great game because it uses matched tiles and combos to create powerful attacks against zombies. Which takes simple matching games to the next level. You also get to unlock characters as you go on to play more and more difficult levels.

Getting into the game is quite easy, there is an in-depth play-by-play that tells you exactly what to do and what all your resources do. Unfortunately this also means that you need to spend a lot of valuable resources very early in the game.

This mafia themed strategy game is great if you’re into becoming a new mob boss. It’s not like other strategy games that are usually focused on fantasy or history. Instead you get to play in a modern real world city. Much better than fighting off dragons if you’re into realistic games.

The gameplay is pretty straight forward. You choose which buildings you want to build and these give you more resources and allow you to train different kinds of units. You can also choose whether to collaborate with friends or face your enemies alone.

It’s definitely not a game for kids though. It can get quite gruesome. And then there is the whole ordeal of deciding whether to collect resources or whether to actually play the game. In app purchases are quite expensive so if you’re looking for an easy, completely free game this probably isn’t for you.

There are quests that either progress the game’s story line or make sure that things keep running in your cities. Yes. Cities. You get to create more than one city in this game. You could also decide to spend some time researching, which will help you build better cities and buildings.

Finally you also get to explore the vast expanse of the map to build cities in different locations. It does, however, take some time to get into the game. You do need to do your research if you want to build the best cities on the map.

This strategy game is different from the others on the list for one special reason. It’s all about leaving the stresses of the city behind to create a beautiful farm in the Sunrise Village.

Yup, you get to build your very own farm. Plant crops. Get farm animals. And expand your beautiful oasis. It’s great if you want a relaxing strategy game that lets you forget about the everyday stresses of life.

The overall progress on the game can be slow. So if you’re looking for a game you can play for hours on end this might not be the top pick for you. On the other hand if you’re looking for a game that only keeps you busy for a couple of minutes at a time this is definitely the game for you.

If you like a good tower defense game you should definitely check out Rush Royal. This fantasy tower defense game is one of the best of its kind. You get to build your own army of wizards and warriors to defend your tower.

You can come up with your own strategy as you build your legion of characters. But don’t get too comfortable. Things can change in an instant and you’ll have to adjust your tactics. As your army grows you’ll also get more than one of the same character which you can then merge to create an even stronger character - if you dare.

The game is a classic tower defense game and runs online to allow you to play against other players. But playing online does mean you have to sit through some ads. You also need a pretty strong internet connection to run the game properly in player versus player games.

If you’re into 4d art this is a very cool game for you to consider. This puzzle game boasts some of the most beautiful art styles of any game on the app store. No jokes. It’s exquisitely designed.

The game plays really well too. You have to navigate a silent princess through seemingly impossible architecture by manipulating structures. It sounds a bit crazy, but once you try it out you’ll be hooked like thousands of others. 

Unfortunately all that beauty comes at a price. $3.99 to be precise. Which isn’t bad if you’re going to spend hours navigating your princess. But if you just want to try the game out to see what it’s like that might be a bit too much to pay. Luckily there are no ads to sit through!
