Being king isn't easy, rewarding or good for your health. These are the lessons you will learn while playing Devolver Digital's newest mobile title. Reigns is a choose your own adventure card game where you begin the game by overthrowing the current king. The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible while keeping a balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury.

At first glance it is easy to dismiss Tap Hero as another throw away tapping title, but after a few games you will quickly become addicted. In the game you are an armoured knight who must defend himself from approaching enemies by slaughtering them with a giant sword. You swing your sword by tapping left and right as a steady stream of barbarians, archers and more charge towards you. That's the entire game. You don't move, jump or shoot. You just stand in one place slamming your sword back-and-forth as endless waves of warriors attack you.

The well reviewed PS Vita game Severed has made its way to the Apple App Store. Severed follows Sasha -- a distraught, one-armed warrior who is about to embark on a journey through a surreal non-linear world. The developer describes Severed as a light RPG adventure game with touch-based combat mechanics.

In the game, players must progress through branching routes while battling enemies, avoiding hazards and solving puzzles. The most interesting part of the game is the ability to stun opponents so you can sever their body parts and wear them to gain new abilities. Players can also utilize Totems and upgrade their armour by collecting the remains of defeated bosses.

The roguelike dungeon crawling genre has a rabid fan base who are always eagerly looking for new titles to play on their computer and mobile devices. This is why Guild of Dungeoneering was a highly anticipated App Store release for the iPad. Even though the game has been available on Steam for over a year, the mobile version didn't make its debut until PAX South in March 2016. The card-based dungeon crawler has finally been released for iOS devices this week, and it is a universal app, even though it was originally thought to be a tablet-only title.

Guild of Dungeoneering is a turn-based RPG card game with a twist. Instead of just controlling the game's hero, players must build their own dungeon around the hero and coax them through the adventure. Players can build their dungeon and fill it with monsters, loot and traps by playing specific cards from their Guild decks. The goal of the game it to complete dungeon crawls to gain experience and money to improve your Guild and attract better classes of adventurer. Players can also earn new cards and unlock more rooms and equipment as they play the game.
