Really enjoyable strategy game that’s easy for anyone to pick up and learn. The controls and game mechanics are simple enough to pick up and feel confident with after a few rounds, but the game has enough depth for a ton of replayability. Bonus points for having saves that track across Apple devices too. Quick rounds are great on the go with my phone, but sitting on the couch and playing on the big iPad screen is a joy. If you enjoy tower defense/strategy-type games and don’t want all the microtransaction garbage that those games are usually littered with, this is a must-buy.

I own this already on Steam and its a simple to play but very challenging game. If you hate seeing those terrible Kingshot ads, this is the actually good game they were stealing from! The first non-tutorial level is free, the rest you’ll have to pay for, which is more than your average mobile game, but its well worth the price for the amount of content you’re getting, especially with the whole mutator mechanic allowing you to try for higher scores as long as you still enjoy actually playing it.

Own this on Steam already, but iOS really needs more titles like Thronefall. Very well polished and plays great on all device sizes, especially the iPad. I know if I persist I can get the $10 purchase option, but it is worth the $13 just to keep the dream alive that more developers will bring their premium titles to the iPhone. And thank you for taking the ‘try before you buy’ route even though it will always bring the one star reviews that want the full product for free.
