The best iPhone and iPad games this week - Wayward Souls, Third Eye Crime, Leo's Fortune
Sell your soul for this criminally gained fortune
Every Friday, Pocket Gamer offers hands-on impressions of the week's three best new iPhone and iPad games.
Wayward Souls
By Rocketcat Games – buy on iPhone and iPad (£2.99 / $4.99)
It's not very often a game gets a Platinum Award here on Pocket Gamer, but Wayward Souls was a worthy recipient of our highest mark when we reviewed it earlier in the week.
The game is a brilliant and brutal roguelike that sees you smashing through the floors of a terrifying tower, getting mauled by zombies, bats, and all manner of other beasts as you do.
In terms of scale, Wayward Souls is one of the biggest games we've ever seen on the App Store, with a bewildering lump of content to battle through.
This is a game that comes with the highest recommendation we can bestow. So stop reading this and go buy it.
Third Eye Crime
By Gameblyr - buy on iPhone and iPad (£1.99 / $2.99)
A clever stealth game that features a psychic twist, Third Eye Crime is about sneaking around a noir world using extra-sensory perception.
It's also about nicking a load of stuff. Because no one would ever use their super powers for good if they could nab a few priceless artefacts instead.
It looks stunning, and there's a clever beat of risk and reward running through the sneaky escapes Rothko, the star of the piece, always ends up embroiled in.
If you're looking for a one-touch stealth game that's a lot more complex and in-depth than its controls let on, this is going to be right up your dark alley.
Leo's Fortune
By 1337 & Senri - buy on iPhone and iPad (£2.99 / $4.99)
A puzzling platformer with a penchant for physics, Leo's Fortune sees you leading a podgy fluffball through a series of increasingly tough levels.
The simple controls are pretty responsive, and while some of the sections of the game aren't the most original, everything's put together so well it's pretty tough to grumble.
There are shades of Sonic, Badland, and Limbo here, as well as some pretty unique ideas that keep the game buzzing along.
This is a fast and entertaining platformer that pays a good deal of homage to the best of the genre.
