Striking a balance between depth and accessibility has often been a hassle in strategy RPGs. Some games aren’t deep enough and others are too difficult. A select few games take the Goldilocks route and are just right. Rebirth of Fortune 2 comes close to finding that balance, but slow-paced battles and imbalanced multiplayer take away from what is otherwise a fun experience.

If you had an imaginary friend as a child, you may understand the frustration of others not sharing that same imagination. Now, what if those imaginary friends were real, were gods, and only you could see them? That's the premise behind Bonds of the Skies, Kemco's newest Android RPG. It provides a story about the relationship between humans and gods, and wraps it up in a traditional turn-based RPG.

Leaving a room is often a difficult task. I frequently find myself having to look for clues as to how I'm supposed to leave the house. Fortunately, when I get bored, I can just open the door and walk on out. In the world of videogames, you're not usually given such luxuries. Killer Escape is an example of how to leave a room with a sadistic murderer on the loose. And it won't take you too long, either.

My frustration will sometimes get the best of me. In those instances, I usually stop what I’m doing, take a break, and come back to it later. Escape From Hell brings about those same feelings of frustration, but I’ve been unable to turn away. It’s a difficult game, but it provides a classic arcade feel that makes every failure and every moment of frustration feel completely satisfying.

Most tower defense games revolve around placing obstacles and weapons along pathways so you can crush your enemy before they make their way to your tower. This formula has worked countless times in the past. What's less common is when your tower is your primary source of offense. Hills of Glory 3D takes the typical tower defense model and turns your defenseless tower into a killing machine.

Touch screen controls aren't often accepting of side-scrolling platformers. The level of precision seen in games like Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog is often understated. Sometimes, a game comes along and reminds us just how important tight controls can be. There's a bit of upside to Super Daddio 2, but a sloppy control scheme and other fundamental issues create a handful of problems.

The heyday of the arcade has long passed. But when the arcade still ruled the gaming world, there was no better candidate for its king than PAC-MAN. The little yellow circle man became a household name, and people flocked to their local arcade to compete with one another to get their name on the top of the high scores. NAMCO BANDAI has revived that arcade feel with PAC-MAN + Tournaments, a free-to-play game that reignites the competitive spirit.

There's a severe lack of quality kart racers on Android. So when something like Beach Buggy Blitz comes along, it's easy to take notice. It's especially easy to take notice of the sharp graphics, catchy music, and free price tag. But while your first few joyrides will seem like smooth sailing, once you get the feel of it, you'll begin to notice some bumps along the way.

It's hard to create a turn-based RPG that stands out from the competition. No matter how polished, deep, and exciting a game is, it's hard to overcome the sensation that everything has been done before. Silver Nornir rises up and faces that challenge head-on. The storytelling leaves much to be desired, but an enjoyable cast of characters and a familiar—yet deep—battle system create an experience worth checking out.

You don't often hear people consider role-playing games to be fun. They can be captivating, engrossing, or intense, but the fun factor is often overlooked. It's easy to ignore how fun many RPGs are until you’ve played one that's severely lacking in that area. Ark of the Ages is a lot of things—some good, some bad—but its severe lack of fun keeps it from being so much better.
