There's something to be said for weirdness. T Raiders is nothing if not weird. It isn't the circus sounds or even the quirky cartoon characters; it's the way everything fits together. Touchmine was the company behind the superb Devil Invasion, a frantic and unexpectedly rich hybrid of match-3 and role-playing games that starred squishy little cartoons as the invading devils. T Raiders, a run-and-jump platformer, follows suit. It's packed with strange characters and mechanics that produce a distinctly alien vibe. But it's also a bit less amusing than its forebear.
Devil Invasion is technically a hybrid of match-3 and role-playing games that owes its mechanics to Puzzle Quest. But in action, it's one of the most nerve-searing experiences available on the iPhone. The game's juxtaposition of familiar mechanics with a rare, player-grabbing intensity makes it a must-have for puzzle and action fans alike.
