GAMING 101
Games to play offline
No wifi. No data. No fun? Not if we can help it. These games offer hours of gameplay and once you’ve downloaded them you’ll never need a connection again. Perfect for those moments when every megabyte matters.
Rebel Inc.
The war is over – now what? Like Ndemic’s previous hit, Plague Inc, this is a rich and satisfyingly complex simulation, only instead of viral outbreak, you’re trying to keep the peace and rebuild a shellshocked nation. With government corruption on the rise and insurgency looming, it’s not going to be easy.
Reigns: Game of Thrones
Heavy lies the crown as you swipe through various scenarios while imagining your favourite GoT characters ruling Westeros.
As Queen Sansa, who should be your Hand? As Queen Daenerys, do you fly your dragons north? As King Tyrion, will you practice cruelty or kindness? Choose carefully – a grisly end is just a swipe away.
Chameleon Run
Jump, double-jump and flip colours: with just three controls, Chameleon Run writes a symphony of gameplay. Get into the flow and you’ll feel like an unstoppable force as you dash through high-speed levels, quickly changing colour midair to match the next platform.
Holedown
We’ve lost countless hours to this hypnotic ball-shooting masterpiece, and we’d do it again.
When you get into the rhythm of aiming your shots just right so that they bounce between all the blocks you need to break through, it’s arcade gameplay at its purest.
Pocket Build
Here’s a chilled-out experience: no levels or targets, just a gorgeous 3D sandbox for building…well, whatever you want.
Your local planning department might frown at the idea of putting a Wild West shack next to a seven-floor apartment block next to a wizard’s tower next to a farm, but they’re not the boss here. You are!
