After the success of their mobile version of Rome: Total War, Feral Interactive was bound to make Medieval 2, a grand strategy game that came out for PC in 2006. As in its older brother, you'll spend some of your time managing your economy and talking to your neighbors in a friendly way. The rest of your time will be spent in real-time battles, moving units, giving orders, and adjusting to how things are going on the battlefield.

In Square Valley, you place a tile on your turn to add houses, trees, farms, rivers, and a lot of other things that make your valley look more peaceful. The twist is that each tile gets points based on what it is touching. For example, trees get more points when they are next to water, and wheat fields get more points when they are close together.

This is loosely based on the console and PC game, and it has the same gameplay as Clash of Clans and Boom Beach, where you build a defensive base and then raid other players for resources. The mobile version keeps the very long upgrade paths for units, special skills, and defensive structures, which become available as you level up your HQ. It also adds countdown timers to loot crates and upgrades.

Ni No Kuni comes to mobile with beautiful art from Studio Ghibli and a translation of the dialogue that is charmingly offbeat. Sad to say, that's the end of the good news. Cross Worlds has everything bad about modern mobile games.

A new way to play the brick-smashing game In Newtro, you move paddles to keep one or more balls bouncing around and popping obstacles on the screen. This is similar to the game Breakout.

Technopoly is advertised as a mix of an idle tycoon and a real-time strategy game. In reality, it's mostly an idle tycoon, but it still adds a twist to the genre.

Set in an art gallery and accompanied by mellow freeform jazz that echoes your moves, your goal is to recreate a series of Mondrian-style paintings with as few moves as possible. At first, this is done by tapping to add splashes of primary color to rectangles that are next to each other. However, this soon changes into more complex tests of your spatial awareness.

Milo is a cat who has been attacked by bad magpies and needs to find his way home. To help, you solve a few easy point-and-click puzzles that give him a way to sneak through the back yards of his neighbors and get back home.

The Office is a sitcom based on the US version of the hit TV show. It takes place at Dunder Mifflin's amusingly run-down branch office in Scranton.

In the top-down tactical battles of Blast Waves, enemies only move when you do. This is similar to Superhot, where enemies only move when you do. Drag a line from your soldier to plan his next move, then tap enemies to shoot.

Siege Up! is a cool real-time strategy game that can be played on mobile devices. The troops and buildings look like they came from Minecraft.

Netflix has had a great run of good mobile game releases for its new game subscription service, which was bound to end at some point. And the same is true for these lightweights.

A bunch of nonsense about magical shards sets the stage for Diablo's real goal, which is hacking, slashing, looting, and slowly getting better. Diablo's gameplay loop is already perfect for mobile, and this version's short missions take into account the limited time of players with small screens. The slow pace of its combat makes it easy to trigger special moves on a touchscreen.

Battle of Poytopia has been out for six years, but it just got a major update that adds the complex new skill of diplomacy to its tech tree. The game is fun and easy to play on a small screen.

Apex Legends, which has been a hit on consoles and PCs, does a lot of things right when it comes to mobile.
