Out There

Top Pro

Beautiful hand drawn graphics and great score

The hand drawn graphics coupled with the lonely score create a fantastic original feeling atmosphere. See More

Top Con

Restart always from the beginning

There is a multitude of ways to die in Out There and being that the game is a roguelike, there will be a lot of restarts. Each and everyone brings the player back to the beginning to do everything over again, which can be frustrating and cause for lulls in play at the beginnings. See More

Specs

Genre:Roguelike / Strategy / Simulation

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Turn based resource management

Out There features a great mix of turn based strategy with complex resource management. See More

XCOM: Enemy Within

Top Con

Second half of game lacks as many options as first half

The second half of the game feels a bit lack luster in options when compared to the first half. See More

Top Pro

Expansion on what was already a fantastic game

Top Pro

Turn based strategy works well on touchscreen devices

Top Pro

Online multiplayer

Top Pro

Ethical choices effect long game

The choices the player makes from what kind of upgrades to use to what soldier to send where on a battle map will effect later game play. See More

Top Pro

New upgrade resource

There is a new resource known as Meld that allows the user to purchase upgrades. See More

Rebuild

Top Pro

Endless gameplay with randomly generated cities

On each beginning of the game, the city is randomly generated. This makes for a new experience every time a new game is played which keeps things fresh for the player. See More

Top Con

Can get easier the further in the game one gets

Rebuild tends to get easier the more farmland one obtains, so the further the player reaches in the game the easier things become, which looses some appeal. See More

Specs

Genre:Strategy / Survival

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Atmospheric zombie survival theme

Probably not for everyone, but if you like a zombie overrun post-apocalyptic scenario, this game sets the atmosphere accordingly with constant scavenging for resources on the verge of human extinction, moral choices and a disturbing soundtrack. See More

Top Pro

Well balanced

Gameplay consists mostly of managing people, their skills, resources, tools and property. It has enough depth and good balance to present a challenge. See More

Anomaly Warzone Earth HD

Top Pro

Controls work well on touchscreen

Even though Anomaly Warzone Earth HD was created for PC, the mobile port has excellent touch screen controls. See More

Having to hold down double speed gets very tiring after a while, especially on tablets. See More

Specs

Genre:Tower offense

Top Pro

Can be played offline
