Top 5 / Best iOS Games of the Month! #Helpful Post

oday's video has made possible by

Squarespace what's up Internet Kevin

here on TLD well it's the end of the

month so that means once again it's time

for me to tell you guys my favorite iOS

games don't come out now this has been a

great month for app games for both high

quality high profile releases and some

great indie titles on the side we've got

a great mixture of genres including an

adventure simulation stealth platforming

and puzzle games so let's go ahead and

check out my top favorite iOS games of

april 2014

I'm cheating a little bit this time

because normally we only have five games

on this list but I'm gonna go ahead and

have six it's mainly because that this

month had one really high-profile

release it's basically obligatory to

mention and that's blizzards

free-to-play collectible card game

hearthstone if you haven't tried hard

stone yet on PC or iPad do it now first

off it's completely free so you have

nothing to lose for at least trying it

and second off it's a really solid and

fun card game to play whether you want

to do some serious matches back to back

or just play a few to kill time here and

there you can start off by doing some

practice matches against the AI to

unlock more classes do some more matches

online that lock more cards to customize

your decks and then play against your

friends or just random people if you're

a fan of CCGs in general then this is a

title you have to give a shot so what

the elephant in the room out of the way

let's go ahead and get to my other top 5

picks and to begin with we have another

game that support of a PC title that

came out in late 2012 and has finally

found its way to iPad FTL FTL is a light

space simulation game in which players

command and manage their own spaceship

traveling through the universe dealing

with multiple encounters ranging from

space battles to merchants to answering

distress signals each playthrough goes

differently and while you'll die several

times your first couple tries over time

you'll get to try out new alien races as

crewmates unlocking your ships and

weapons and most importantly just have a

hell of a lot of fun the port from PC

was done fantastically not only does it

run smooth but it's got some great

sci-fi themed adjustments for touch

controls like powering up and down

systems by sliding levers if you haven't

played up TL before grab it now and if

you have played FTL before you already

know how awesome it is and you might be

tempted just to grab this version so you

can have a portable way to play it it's

a bit pricier than most app games at ten

dollars but it's worth every penny now

next on the list we have a 2d platformer

that actually came out at the very end

of March but it was just at the last

second before my March top 5 iOS so it's

making its appearance now and that

sometimes you die this is a simple

platformer game with a simple aesthetic

whose only mechanic outside of jumping

is the fact that you can use the bodies

of your past deaths as a way to solve

puzzles it's a grim thought that makes

for a fun spin on the genre and as

players progress the game begins to

assault common notions and popular

movements in recent gaming trends for

only a dollar ninety-nine it's worth

killing some time on though as a warning

the game does have a scene that will

ruin you if you have epilepsy something

it mentions at the very end of its

description so if that's an issue for

you you might want to stay back on this

now third on the list is a game that is

a great spin on stealth genre for touch

controls and that's third eye crime

gameplay takes place from a bird's-eye

view with players making their way to an

exit location maybe taking a break along

the way to grab some treasure players

have an awareness of where enemies think

they will be thanks to highlighted red

lines giving you the chance to know

where they look first and as a result

where it's best to hide and get around

them it's not too difficult to simply

get through all levels but completing

all of its challenges can take a lot of

tries a lot of practice and a lot of

patience it's three dollars initially to

purchase but the game does charge you to

unlock its later acts bumping the total

price up to five dollars which is a

little knowing but still worth its total

price now fourth app is a title that

belongs in the list of those games that

are very short and pretty minimal in

terms of difficulty but if such great

art direction and such a fun concept

that it can't help but have it be

memorable and that's Monument Valley

Monument Valley is a simple puzzle game

requiring you to navigate your character

from the start to end but makes use of

perspective to create nonsensical

pathways what was originally a bridge

might become a ramp moving upwards up

can be come down and height means almost

nothing where you can stand a little in

front of something each level adds its

own little twists and change in style

and while the game only tastes good

three or four hours to complete none at

that time or the money spent on it feels

wasted those of you with a preference

for the artsy side of games will

definitely want to check this one out

for its four dollar price tag now last

on the list is the third game to come

from rocketcat studios a team

responsible for two of my favorite app

games punch quest and mage gauntlet

which if you haven't played you should

play as well and now they've brought us

we word souls wayward Souls shares a lot

of gameplay elements with mage gauntlet

it's a top-down 16-bit style action game

with light RPG elements where it

diverges though is that while mage

gauntlet had a lead character and

pre-designed dungeons to follow wayward

Souls gives you six different characters

play as with a dungeon whose form

changes every time you enter each

character not only plays differently

with their own strengths weaknesses and

special abilities but each even have

their own distinct and different plot

for why they're journeying through this

dangerous tower even when picking the

same character over and over again each

run can feel different thanks to

randomly generated floors sometimes

featuring wildly different enemies and

special upgrades that come from a

limited random list that can change that

characters play style for that run it's

incredibly easy to spend hours and ended

with this game and at five dollars I

felt like I easily got my money's worth

and more well there's my top five kind

actually six iOS games to come out for

april 2014 before i get out of here
