apps-feature1

With hundreds of apps out there it can be hard to sort the good from the bad. This list gives some help to apps which have recently been released which stand higher than the rest, if not in the charts but in quality. All apps on this list are free and are based around the Android app store but all exist in the iOS store also.

There’s something here for everyone! So play, start and select some of these for all your app needs.

 

1. Family Guy: The quest for stuff

This game is cleverly co-written by the creators of Family Guy and is the perfect app for any fan of the show. The game’s mechanics are very similar to Simpsons Tapped Out. Players create a town and fill it with characters and building through completing tasks.

Unlike Simpsons tapped out the humour is much better, characters and players level up and they have managed to add to the formula of Tapped Out and improved where the Simpsons failed .

Score 8/10

 

2. Moshi Monsters Village

Rising high in the Play Store this week this is a great little app for kids. Players help moshi monsters and moshlings by building houses, farming, playing little mini-games and taking care of moshlings. The gameplay is similar to Farmville or other ville games. The mini-games make it more fun and less of a drag having to wait for tasks to be completed. Just like the online game players choose their monster and start collecting and playing with moshlings.

This game is like an app version of the online game but with less interaction between live players and a much simpler version of the game. The app loses nothing in terms of story and look. Its still a happy, bright, and exciting place for kids to go. Players expand their moshling collection by rescuing moshlings in danger. Full review coming up!

7/10

Price: Free

This great little app is smaller than all the others on the list but no less fun. It takes the original formula of Cut the Rope and adds fun cartoons, new characters and new ways to play. For a full breakdown see my review here

Score 9/10

 

4. The Walking Dead Season 1

If you haven’t played this game yet or seen reviews of it online from people like PewDiePie then you need to know this is a great game. The app has fantastic graphics and is not diminished in quality by going to mobile, even on a phone the game looks good. This game packs a punch with story.Games from TellTaleGames always have a strong story.

This game has it’s scary moments so it isn’t for kids or the faint hearted. Players must survive as Lee through the zombie apocalypse, by meeting new people and learning who to trust, how to defend yourself and who to save.

Score 9/10

 

5. Tiny Death Star

Price: Free

Although this came out a few months ago it still stands as a good app and has lost none of its charm over time. Players must create a death star but through unconventional means. You must help Vader and the Emperor to fund building more levels by renting homes, building eateries, building shops. It sounds a bit girly but it’s a great app for any star wars fans with familiar characters, story elements, and humour. It’s easy to get hooked and want to build more and more levels to unlock your favourite characters and create a bigger and better Death Star

Score 8/10
