Today's Best Apps: Combat Monsters And Duck Dynasty: Battle Of The Beards

October 24, 2013
The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday. Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls

iPhone:

Duck Dynasty®: Battle of the Beards by A&E Television Networks Mobile and RED Interactive Agency ($0.99, 53.0 MB): Earn your way to a bushy beard in this Duck Dynasty-based action-arcade game. Making the Robertsons proud requires dumping that white collar look and attitude in order to complete a backwoods badge of sorts. Specifically, time will be spent performing and redoing brief and simple tasks. Some examples include shooting bucks and ducks, quickly snatching up frogs, tossing peppers, taping boxes, and face painting. Every session involves progressing through a random set of these tests until you fail three times. Obviously, the longer you last, the bigger the reward, which will be currency and facial hair. Coins may be used to change attire, slowly completing the full down-home look. The game features 3-D graphics, southern country soundtrack, more than 15 mini-games, more than 100 clothing items and accessories, single finger control, as well as Game Center leaderboards and achievements.

Universal:

Combat Monsters by Rubicon (Free, 74.8 MB): In this card collecting, arena-style, turn-based strategy game, rise to victory using a perpetual army of monsters. As a successful hero, you are courageous, strong, skillful, and intelligent. By intelligent, I mean summoning brutal beasts, demons, the undead, and so on to sacrifice themselves during battles against, supposedly evil, opposing warriors. Seems logical to me, and probably saves money on account of less medical supplies. Anyway, the commendable creatures will endure the brunt force, allowing you to perform a few punishing strikes without peril. Materializing the monsters requires certain skills, gained by collecting specific cards, and mojo, which deplete. Cards are earned as an individual reward or through acquisition of decks. Before a conflict, you choose a selection of standby cards, i.e., a hand, and utilize them as desired and able. The game features 3-D graphics, dramatic soundtrack, dozens of stages spanning a triple difficulty level solo campaign, local two person pass-and-play as well as public or private online multiplayer via Game Center, 132 monsters, 12 Heroes, more than 120 maps, 70 weapons, 28 shields, 42 spells, 22 runes, plus Facebook integration.
