Top 10 iOS and Android games of February 2019
Boy, February flew by, didn't it? That might just be down to the fact that it's the shortest month of the year.
But we suspect it's more likely to be down to the number of high quality mobile games we've been playing recently.
We've had high-class roguelikes, emotional farming games (really), polished platformers, and the long-anticipated global rollout of a new Nintendo IP. Yep, it's been eclectic.
Were you enjoying something different in February? Let us know what your picks would be in the comments below.
1
Immortal Rogue
An action roguelike with an inspired single-handed control system, Immortal Rogue manages that trick of being simultaneously accessible and deeply rewarding.
2
Boost Buddies
Boost Buddies is another game that appears to have learned a thing or two from Downwell - but it's learned them well, with an irresistibly twitchy, action-heavy appeal.
3
The Stillness of the Wind
The Stillness of the Wind asks you to experience life through the eyes of any old woman tending to her farm. This beautifully melancholic game is all about the feels rather than the taps.
4
Squish Machine
The kind of fast-paced single-screen arcade platformer that blasts by in a blur of tight snackable levels. You just try putting it down.
5
Spicy Piggy
A new Nitrome game is always cause for celebration. Spicy Piggy lives up to its name, not only with its porcine platforming protagonist, but also its red-hot difficulty.
6
Knights of the Card Table
A bright and brilliant solo card-based dungeon crawler with a unique art style and an interesting combat system.
7
Linn: Path of Orchards
Linn: Path of Orchards is a beautiful platformer with a Monument Valley-esque air of mystique, and levels that literally change under your feet.
8
Evolution
This deeply satisfying board game adaptation is packed full of strategic possibilities, and it even packs in a rare single-player campaign and online matchmaking.
9
Skylanders: Ring of Heroes
A very late entry to this list (we actually reviewed it on March 1st), Skylanders is a big budget, licensed take on the midcore RPG. And very slick it is too.
10
Dragalia Lost
Nintendo's latest mobile effort (and first original mobile IP) launched in the US and Japan last year, but it's only just attained a global rollout. It's good, clean casual ARPG fun with a dose of Ninty polish.
