Every month, GameCentral brings you the best in smartphone gaming. This month, we have a delightful mix of games, from a sci-fi point-and-click adventure to a refreshing take on the tower defense genre.
First up, we have Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival, a rogue-lite twin-stick shooter set underwater. In this game, you control a four-legged mech and must fend off endless waves of attackers while also exploring undersea caves for loot. The touchscreen controls are surprisingly intuitive, and the upgrade system keeps the gameplay addictively engaging.
Next, we have Monolith, a point-and-click adventure game set on a barren alien world. As Tessa Carter, you must use your wits and whatever you can find in the wreckage of your crashed ship to figure out what happened and escape. The traditional gameplay is enhanced by original music and stunning sci-fi artwork.
Towerful Defence: A Rogue TD breaks the mold of traditional tower defense games with its innovative gameplay. Instead of multiple turrets, you only have one that can be powered up with various buffs and abilities. While the game's spirit of invention is commendable, it can be a bit too reliant on luck and some power-ups are poorly explained.
For word game enthusiasts, we have Phantolex, a clever game where you compete against a computer-controlled ghost. The objective is to force the ghost to spell a real word before you do by strategically placing letters. The game's ever-evolving rules keep things interesting, although there are occasional head-scratching omissions in the dictionary.
Bogey Royale is a perfect game for golf lovers, with its simple yet appealing top-down view and one-finger gameplay. It's easy to pick up and play, making it a great way to pass the time.
One of the highlights this month is Monster Train+, a deck-building game set in a world where you must defend Hell against the forces of Heaven. With its polished gameplay, deep mechanics, and perfect balance, it's a must-play for any fan of the genre. And the best part? It's included with an Apple Arcade subscription.
Finally, we have Diner Out, a game where you rebuild your family's restaurant business by completing orders and merging ingredients. While the game has a cozy charm, it can also feel bland and is hindered by an energy system that requires waiting for hours to recharge.
