I’ve been paying attention to Battleheart for awhile now, but didn’t buy it because I heard that the developer was no longer supporting the Android version. I was then, pleasantly surprised, when they released Battleheart Legacy for Android. I bought it even though it was pretty expensive ($5).

It had good reviews and in many ways the game is good. It’s a polished RPG with a build-your-own-hero-skills type approach. However, I think the plot is very loose and shallow, and it’s just an excuse to go to dungeons. Since I didn’t play the original, I’m not sure how to compare the combat, but at higher levels, it’s difficult because there’s too much action on screen and it’s hard to click the right thing. Maybe it’s better on tablets. I was hoping for a lot of replay value, but there isn’t enough story to make me play it multiple times (I don’t mind the grinding that much).

Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire is a fun little tablet game where you have to draw glyphs on your screen to pop balloons and protect your castle from evil robot/knight things. In the vein of Flappy Bird or Crossy Road, the game play is simple and fast. It’s pretty fun when you start playing, but I don’t see it having any staying power because it doesn’t have the same reward-addiction system that Crossy Road has.
