Nosferatu - Run from the Sun is an interesting game, though perhaps not in the ways its creators might have intended. Case in point: the aesthetics of the game are arguably more engaging than the actual gameplay, which is generally why people tend to look at a game like this.
I'm a huge strategy fan. Have been for as long as I've been gaming. I love how every time I'm on the battlefield, things seem to work out a bit differently. I love how no two skirmishes ever feel the same. And I really love it when a game gives me a good mental workout. Unfortunately, most mobile strategy titles don't feature anywhere near the depth that you're likely to find on their PC counterparts. That said, strategy fans may want to check out Time of Heroes on iOS devices. It's not perfect, but this genuinely feels like the closest thing to a PC strategy game on a mobile platform.
You could visualize Companions as a more tactical, less action-oriented Gauntlet where you control all the characters. You don't get the hundreds of enemies that infested the catacombs of Gauntlet, but you get to manage all four dungeoneers, each with their own attacks and inventory. It's a little bit loot driven, a little bit exploration, and a little bit tactical. They try to cast a pretty wide net.
There isn't a more iconic RPG franchise than Gauntlet, but the game has yet to appear on iOS devices. Thankfully, German developer Smuttlewerk Interactive is working filling this gap with a new title for the iPad: Companions.
