Best new iOS and Android games of the week: May 7
Battling, blitzing, and bashing
There are a lot of games released onto the App Store and Google Play Store every week. It can be hard to keep track of the worthwhile ones.
That's why, at the end of every week, we like to bring you a succinct round-up of the best efforts. Really, it's the least we can do.
Have you been playing anything different this week? Let us know in the comments below.
Her Majesty's SpiffingBy BillyGoat Entertainment - buy on iOS / buy on Android
This charming point-and-click adventure takes on a distinctly British tone, with plenty of post-Brexit satire and cheeky humour. All in all a very polished, enjoyable port.
Ever Knight
By Foolish Mortal - buy on iOS
Ever Knight is a one-touch arcade game with a bit more to it than meets the eye. As you advance through the oncoming hordes using a small selection of screen prods and swipes, you need to take into account the type of enemy you're facing.
By Genera Games - download on iOS / download on Android
If you like mobile city builders, Gladiator Heroes could well be your next big project. It folds in RPG elements and a compelling combat system as you build your ancient Roman civilisation through gladiatorial combat.
Battle BayBy Rovio - download on iOS / download on Android
For Battle Bay, Rovio has switched from single player bird flinging to online multiplayer arena battling on the high seas. Think of it as an aquatic World of Tanks Blitz, and you won't be far off.
Blitz Brigade: Rival TacticsBy Gameloft - download on iOS / download on Android
If you've finally tired of Clash Royale's finely poised lane-based strategy, Gameloft is here with an alternative. The action is now isometric, and the setting is more modern an militaristic, but the gameplay is a familiar blend.
