Pavel Tarabrin

Repel invaders without a face in Tesla Wars.

Fans of one-touch defense games.

Why we picked this?

Only one of Tesla’s powerful towers remain standing. You must protect it at all costs from the invading faceless swarm. Your enemies are equipped with various types of weapons and attributes, and they will approach the tower from all possible angles. Zap them where they stand by touching and holding your finger on them. You are able to spend your prize money between waves to upgrade your tower and purchase new weapons. The game contains hundreds of waves of enemies to wipe out, 17 upgrades and attacks to unlock, and achievements and leader boards via Game Center.

You enjoy castle defense games. It’s quite challenging since the invaders can come at you from all angles.

You get bored quickly. It’s a pretty repetitive formula even though you’re able to unlock new upgrades. It’s best played in spurts.

Why we picked this?

Empires II is one of the best Risk-like games you’ll find in the App Store. Choose an origin country and develop a war strategy. The game starts you off with a limited budget, which allows you to purchase a few armies and ships. Shore up your borders in order to ensure revenue keeps coming in, and then start moving across the world claiming new countries and bringing your foes to their knees. Spying allows you to see the number of armies, ships, and annual revenue for each country before engaging in battle, but it comes at a cost, so use it wisely. The game includes single player, pass and play multiplayer, and online multiplayer modes.

You love the game of Risk. Empires II has a few little twists that make the experience all the more enjoyable.

You want a pure Risk game. This one takes some liberties with the rules.
