In addition, you can remove the shoot button and instead just tap the right side of the display to shoot (although this will sometimes cause you to fire when just looking around which is done by swiping the right side). Especially when using a controller, it can be beneficial to move everything out of the way, as you'll have access to all of the buttons on your controller. See More

Top Pro

Fun party game mechanics with momentum based gameplay

Throwing bombs at your friends who are in the same room or online while yourself trying to not get blown up will easily make for a fun time, especially in large groups.

Combat is very basic

There is an attack button accompanied by a block button. It isn't hard at all, and feels very basic. See More

Specs

Controller Support:Yes(Android)

Top Pro

Funny and excellent storytelling

Rarely anything on mobile platform is on par with the storytelling in this game. It is a great storyline that develops with your decisions you make in the game, and manages to remain funny, while being really engaging. See More

The Walking Dead

Top Pro

A lot of replayability

Resembling an interactive novel, the game plays out as a series of dialogue choices or decisions that result in specific actions. It's pretty interesting to replay the game many times and choose all the different ways of handling situations just to see how they play out. See More

Top Con

Some annoying quicktime events

Some of the quicktime events can feel like they drag on a bit too long and require too many button/key presses, especially during extended action sequences. See More

Genre:Narrative, Adventure, Survival Horror

Top Pro

Stellar voice acting brings the characters to life

Voice actors deliver their lines with a lot of emotion, never feeling forced or fake. This excellent acting really helps draw you into the story and its characters. There's a lot of great chemistry between the various voice actors as well, resulting in conversations that flow well and sound very natural. See More

Top Con

Superficial player impact

While the game may on the face of it appear to have far reaching consequences for the decisions taken by the player. At times it can appear that these consequences cause mainly only superficial differences as the story progresses. See More

Top Pro

Standalone story makes it accessible for all

Even if you don't read the comic or watch the TV show, you can still play and enjoy this game. It's a completely standalone story. While there are some mild easter eggs for fans of the show/comic, you can still understand the game just fine without any prior knowledge of The Walking Dead. See More

Top Pro

Difficult decisions

The Walking Dead requires that the player make decisions throughout, these typically will be in the form of action or conversation options. In many of these situations there is no obviously correct or best choice yet these decisions must be taken in stressful situations often giving a matter of seconds. They can be morally testing as you can attempt to do what is 'right', what is best for the group or what is best for yourself as well having differing repercussions on how your character is perceived by different people. See More

Top Pro

Engrossing storyline

The Walking Dead tells a genuinely gripping story which can be a testing and exhausting experience for the player. It is told through the interactions between people fighting to survive in a new world in which resources are scarce and threats can come from both the living and the undead. Perhaps the major strength of the game in creating a compelling story telling experience is that it causes the player to care about the characters involved. This is an all too uncommon experience in gaming, and in The Walking Dead adds much greater meaning to the decisions which must be made along the way. See More

Repeated farming is required

Specs

Genre:Action / Shooter

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Dungeon Hunter 4

Top Pro

Nice graphics

The in game graphics and cut scenes are done very well. See More

Top Con

Hobbled gameplay to force purchase of in app purchases

By limiting the amount of potions the player is able to use and forcing an excruciatingly slow replenish time Dungeon hunter 4 has broken the core gameplay in order to force users into spending real money just to fend off these false limitations, which no matter how many times one pays will always come back. It is a never ending cycle of payment just to be able to play the game in any acceptable manner. See More

Great freedom of expression thanks to the sandbox gameplay

In Minecraft you can really do whatever you want. If exploring different landscapes is your thing, creative mode lets you do that. Building castles or villages, or even sculptures, computers (complete with redstone logic), or unique builds can be done such as roller coasters or replicas of objects like the Enterprise from Star Trek. For more combat focused gameplay, enter survivor mode and you can fight monsters, gather resources, craft weapons, build traps and farms and much more. See More

Joe Danger

Top Pro

Built from the ground up for mobile

The developer Hello Games built Joe Danger from the ground up for the mobile platform which allows for a better design to the touch controls than a port would have allowed. Considering how many ports Android receives, it is refreshing to see a developer that makes an effort to create a worthwhile game for Android instead of the easy cash in of a lazy port. See More

Top Con

In app purchases despite being upfront paid

There are in app purchases that range from $1.16 - $15.06 per item for purchasing in game currency, something that is usually found in free to play games. Sadly this is an upfront paid game that has a price of $2.86, that still wants users to spend even more money on the game after they already bought it. See More

Muffin Knight

Top Pro

Always changing playstyles

Top Con

Very repetitive

There isn't really a storyline, and each level has the exact same mechanics as the last one - jump, gather muffins, attack enemies. Over and over again. See More

Specs

Genre:Action / Platformer

Co-Op:Online

Top Pro

Easy, brain-numbing gameplay

Reaper

Top Pro

Playable in small chunks

Mobile games are great for playing for just a new minutes here and there, and Reaper works exactly like that. If you've only got 5 minutes, you can still enjoy it. Some mobile RPGs need plenty of time to get into the mood and enjoy, which isn't always possible on mobile. See More

Top Con

Doesn't have much longevity

The entire game is based around combat, which works in small doses. For longer playtimes though, it can get pretty repetitive. That goes for the extra content unlocked through the in-app purchase as well - it's more of the same in new levels. See More

Top Pro

Full game content unlock in app purchase

There are three in app purchases with the last one being a full game content unlock at $4.99. See More

Top Con

Free gameplay is limited to ten levels

The gameplay is free up to the tenth level, at that point an in app purchase has to be made of which there are three depending on how much content you want. $3 unlocks the rest of the levels, while $4 nets you more in-game items, and $5 gets you everything available as well as the Dark Harvest game mode.

EnterprisingCalliope's Experience

Many many complaints about Controllers never working what so ever, and they refuse to fix it after years being on play store. It's common for the game to state controller detected press yes or no to play or continue something along these lines, but you can't click with controller or mouse or highlight this. They should be made by google to ammend it as it's a paid game listed in the controller supported games section of the google play store. And should otherwise be forced to list which controllers for which devices are compatible if they don't ammend it. As it's unfair on unwitting buyers who don't know there's an appaling 2hr refunds policy on play store and are after 2hrs lumbered woth a none working game. See More
