    Tiny Castle Review

    By

    What's a fantasy kingdom without plenty of fantasy creatures, right? TinyCo's new kingdom-builder does a good job of emphasizing creature care over simple building tasks, and even infuses a surprising amount of exposition into the proceedings. Once what serves as a tutorial section is over, a few of Tiny Castle's flaws become more noticeable, but overall it's still an enjoyable freemium title with plenty of charm.

    Reign of Dragons Review

    By

    Reign of Dragons has all the trappings of a fantastic and engrossing iOS collectible card game: It features some wonderful artwork, a massive pool of cards to gather, enhancement and evolution to make your favorite cards more powerful and to similarly unload the worthless ones. It has quests. It has PvP. It's practically the next Rage of Bahamut. Which might have something to do with the fact that it is Rage of Bahamut.

    Car Town Streets Review

    By

    So I hear that these "freemium" games are getting fairly popular. Especially on Facebook. One such game is apparently called Car Town, and it involves players managing their own garage and racing their friends. Since then it's been expanded into Car Town Streets, offering the same adorable vehicles and races with the addition of town building. And now all the automotive cuteness has come to the iPhone.

    Dragon Collection Review

    By

    With an App Store awash with creature-collecting freemium games, CCGs, and creature-collecting CCGs, it can be tough to choose a favorite. I think it's safe to say that, barring a few titles, the massive selection offers something for everyone. And with the recent release of Dragon Collection, even lovers of cute cartoon characters who shun evolution and prefer fewer dragons in their dragon-themed games are covered.

    Monster Galaxy: Exile Review

    By

    Over 125 different monsters to tame and train; each aligned with a specific Zodiac to give them an edge or handicap against other creatures. Beautifully rendered characters and environments that are as twisted and bizarre as they are compelling. A non-existent entry fee. Monster Galaxy: Exile certainly seems to have a lot going for it. On paper. But once the countdown timers start adding up, it begins to feel like it's holding itself hostage.

    Knightly Adventure Review

    By

    It seems like ever since FarmVille burst onto the social gaming scene, everyone has been trying to copy it. Well, not everyone, but a lot of people. Freemium time-gated farming "sims" have practically become their own genre at this point, and now there's one more name to add to the ever-growing list. A game that's more than a rehash, but still not exactly groundbreaking: Knightly Adventure.

    World at Arms Review

    By

    Most iOS armchair generals should be rather intimate with the intricacies of building their own army and base within a freemium model at this point. With Gameloft throwing its helmet into the ring once again, it would be understandable to simply expect more of the same. To a degree it is, but World at Arms adds more than just a spit n' polish to a common formula; it also adds some much needed interactivity.

    Wizardlings Review

    By

    RPG elements have a habit of making their way into just about everything from shooters to puzzle games. With that in mind, it's exciting to see the fantasy milieu seep into the prototypical "mobile-social" title with Wizardlings. But while players have been starved for more than animal rearing, Square Enix's first free-to-play offering may have introduced a slew of problems to compensate for the ones it's solved.
