$1.99

Unruly Heroes is an action platformer loosely based on the Journey to the West. You control four different heroes in an adventure that tests your platforming and combat skills as you explore a beautifully animated world.

Why you should play it

A ton of platformers can have trouble nailing good “game-feel.” This is doubly true on mobile. Not only does Unruly Heroes feel snappy and smooth, but the game goes out of its way to constantly switch up its mechanics while never relying on any one gimmick to carry you through the experience. To sweeten the deal further, Unruly Heroes has an amazing sense of style that interprets a 16th century Chinese novel in charming and modern way.

Why you might not play it

Action-based mobile games can be a tough sell depending on your comfort with touch controls. Unruly Heroes helps compensate for this with frequent checkpointing and short levels, as well as flawless controller support.
