Castle Champions (Free)
What’s it about? Players in Castle Champions create and manage a medieval castle filled with businesses and peasants, in order to create a fighting team that competes in strategic battles.
What’s cool? Your job in Castle Champions is to build a towering castle that produces all kinds of money. That’s accomplished by adding levels to the tower as you earn more, then turning the rooms in those levels into apartments for peasants, or businesses at which they can work. As peasants earn money, you can turn additional rooms into places where you can train warriors like archers, swordsmen and mages, as well as powerful heroes. You’ll need those warriors, because every few minutes, your castle is engaged in a battle with other teams in your “league,” and you’ll need to field a team that can beat back the hordes for glory. Winning battles earns you additional money and other bonuses, and you’ll need to upgrade your team and learn to maximize your strategies to be successful.
Who’s it for? If you enjoy light strategic gameplay combined with management simulation stuff, Castle Champions is right up your alley.
What’s it like? Castle Champions borrows a lot from the mechanics of Tiny Tower, so if you like this, you’ll like that.
Crushin’ Robots – NYC (Free)
What’s it about? Robots are washing up in boats in New York City, and it’s your job to keep them from overrunning the city by beating back the mechanical monstrosities with a number of different items in Crushin’ Robots.
What’s cool? Crushin’ Robots is an arcade game in the style of older titles, with simple mechanics but a lot of challenge. Your job in Crushin’ Robots is to crush robots – they’re attacking New York and you’re the only one who can stop them. Tapping on the rows of attacking robots lets you fight them back by throwing things like wrenches and propane tanks at them, and you’ll need to keep the robots from crossing the street and destroying stuff, as well as from scaling your building to stop you. The more robots you take down, the higher your score will grow as you increase your point multiplier.
Who’s it for? Fans of old-school arcade titles will enjoy Crushin’ Robots.
What’s it like? You might enjoy games that are similarly aimed at an arcade sensibility, like Frogger and Planetary Command.
