June has ended so once again it's time for my favorite iOS games of the month this particular installment includes two really high-profile titles that no one should be missing out on as well as three indie titles worth taking a look into to begin with this game that probably doesn't need an introduction if you've been paying attention to the app market this past month and that's fallout shelter this game was announced and released during the test as press conference as part of hyping up fallout 4 and it did a pretty damn good job of doing it the game is completely free to play and it does feature some in-app purchases but they are pretty much entirely ignoring the entire idea is that you are building up and protecting your very own vault you invite who ends up living it what their tasks are it's kind of this very interesting mixture of XCOM and sins as your vault gets larger and larger you'll start to unlock a lot of different specialty rooms and you'll be able to send out your vault dwellers into the wilderness to see how well they survive and how much cool loot they can bring back for a completely free to play game the amount of time you can get out of this game is absolutely massive and it's high quality to boot it does get a bit tedious near the end of the game unless you've played it for so long but for how much fun you get out of it for how little you had to invest this is easily one of the best games to pick up that has come out in quite some time now getting rid of the slightly more India SH games we've got blades of brim now this is a very very obvious entry and be very dense genre of iOS games that are endless runners all based on the Temple Run formula but this one does quite a bit to help make itself a little more different now as you'd expect with an endless runner most of the game is built around just simply going down a hallway that never ends while trying to avoid death and getting some cool loot along the way this game introduces a lot of other elements however including things like wall running finding mini dungeons with their own little objectives to collect treasure and of course having to fight off waves of enemies and encountering special enemies that might take certain tactics and timing to take down properly this game has a whole lot unlocks you could find including armor that can have your defenses weapons stop your damage pets that you can summon and ride to gain temporary bonuses and of course different playable characters to choose from what's great about this is that while the game does have in-app purchases and is very susceptible that you just pouring a lot of real money to get easy unlocks it's never really that required you can get through to this game and take your time unlocking all the different stuff without ever having to resort to your credit card the options there but you don't have to do it as I said this does come from a very dense genre but blades of Grimm is definitely one of the best games to make itself stand out as something a little bit more than just another clone third up we've got a bit more of a slower paced and really relaxing game and that's lines now this is a puzzle game where the very simple idea is all you're trying to do is make your colour beat out all the other colours for filling in lines however how you accomplish this is done a couple different ways some puzzles early on will have you just simply place dots where you want to spawn colors other areas will have you erase dots of the opposing type to try and get an advantage and others even have you create your own lines in order to create shortcuts for your lines to fill in for colors with now the base puzzle concept is pretty solid but what really makes this game appealing is the aesthetic it's not only really great looking but it's got a wonderful soothing soundtrack and the music reacts to what you do in the game whenever you add a point reduce a point it makes a tone whenever your lines clash with other lines it produces a note so everything that happens in the game the music will react - which just makes it a lot more engaging it may be very simple but there are plenty of puzzles and it's also easily replayable with how each of the puzzles is slightly randomized every time you do it so if you're just looking for a game to pick up and play every now and then you want to pass time very calmly this is an excellent choice now fourth up and the last of our more Indias titles is war Miriam now this is one of those games where when you first pick it up it looks really really simple and honestly very kiddi but it ends up being quite the opposite once you get not that much farther into it the gameplay is actually a lot more complex and difficult than it first appears when you start off it almost looks like just a simple worm game where all you have to do is go through tunnels and eventually fill the whole thing however you've got this annoying little worm chasing you while you do this and the worm doesn't just simply follow you it'll actually sometimes diverting take different courses try and cut you off now while you can make turns to go down different corridors you can never completely reverse your directions so a lot of times you'll find yourself thinking you're safe then it'll head you off at one pass and completely screw you over because you just watch yourself slowly go towards it in a head-on collision this game takes a lot more time and thinking than you would initially think which made me absolutely fall in love with it it's a great looking game really fun appealing to both adults and kids and really really hard one to get into later stages now last up is a game that I absolutely could not leave off this month's list it was one of my favorite games to come out on PC and ps4 in 2014 and that's transistor the port job for this game was done excellently not only does it run smoothly and look great but the control scheme really makes sense all you have to do is tap where you want to move choose what moves you want to actively be using when you attack enemies and then tap on enemies to attack you can of course also pause time to queue up several moves back-to-back which is really how you're gonna spend playing most of the game so it works out perfectly on iOS the only real thing that ends up being a slight issue compared to playing it on other systems is that if you want to do really tricky fast movements like weaving back and forth that can get a little difficult with tap controls it is something you can do it's just not as easy and intuitive as it would be with a controller that minor gripe aside though this port has been done beautifully if you didn't get a chance to play this game on PC or Mac and you don't have a ps4 this is a game you absolutely must pick up and try it is a little pricey for an app game but completely worth it well those are my favorite I Oh s games of June 2015 as always there were a whole lot more games that came out that didn't make the list so if there's one that you loved that I didn't mention make sure to let me know down below in the comments if you enjoyed the video hit that thumbs up button let me know and make sure to subscribe and follow me on Twitter I'll be seeing as soon as more content but until then I'm Kevin Henson and I'll see you guys later
