Cramming a game of this scope onto a small touch screen can be a little awkward, particularly with the tiny text (it’s a better fit for tablets), but there’s so much to enjoy here. Beyond the core game, the $10 package includes expansion content online multiplayer for iPad and Mac players, plus additional content to purchase. And 2000’s Baldur’s Gate II is also on Android.

The Metal Slug games are pretty similar at their core. They’re side-scrolling blasters with fluid 2D graphics and plenty of chaos. Metal Slug 3 builds upon that with branching paths within levels and additional characters to play as more vehicles to commandeer. Start with the original if you don’t know the series, but this is the best.
