If you’re into mobile games, you’ve almost certainly played one of Zach Gage’s releases. Given the twitchiness and speed, you may want to consider bringing an Xbox or PlayStation 4 controller along for the ride, now that they’re compatible with iOS 13. Unlike the top-down action of Enter, Exit the Gungeon is a side-scroller, with smaller, bite-sized levels but with the same bullet hell levels of difficulty. Exit the Gungeon takes those same enemies, alongside heroes like The Pilot and The Marine, as they escape certain death. The roguelike shooter, Enter the Gungeon, had players besting a deadly tower filled with bullet-bodied enemies. The graphics are bright and clean, and it lacks the overwhelming complexity of its strategy brethren, making it a great introduction to the genre. Spaceland channels classic turn-based franchises like X-Com as players do battle with deadly aliens. Turn-based games have an ideal home on mobile devices because they allow you to pause the action just as your elevator arrives, without having to worry about a grisly death. Later levels get increasingly complex, so if you’ve ever wondered how to rebuild a record player from scratch, now’s your chance. You’ll then carefully put each piece in its proper place while learning a bit more backstory about the character doing the building. You’ll start each level with a pile of components for, say, a camping oven or a handheld game console. UsTwo’s latest title, Assemble with Care, taps into humans’ love of taking things apart and putting them back together. After all, the developer is known as one of the most successful mobile game makers ever, thanks to Monument Valley and its sequel. It makes sense that Apple would work with usTwo on an Apple Arcade release title.
