Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim
Now here’s a game that I didn’t expect much from the screenshots and that blew my mind once I started playing it.
Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim by HeroCraft is not easy to define without digging deeper on its concept.
When you first see it, you don’t even think twice. It’s an RPG. But then you are able to build Armory, Warrior Barracks, Archers Academy, Wizards Houses, all the jazz. So it’s an RPG mixed up with… Settlers? Maybe. But then – and here is where it gets amusing – you realize that you cannot control your little buddies. They have a mind on their own and you just need to give them structure and support for their needs.
So how do you control them?
Well… money, what else? You can set flags around the map and assign a reward for each flag. So the first soldier that gets to the flag, collects the money.
There are two kinds of flags. The scout flag makes them go discovering the map. You can think of it as a “go to this point flag”. But keep in mind that even if you put a price on it, some soldiers may think it’s not worth the effort, so only a few will adventure. Make sure you set the reward tasty enough for them to go there.
The other kind of flag is the attack flag, that you can assign to enemy buildings or enemy soldiers. So the soldier that destroys/kills that specific enemy/building will get the cash.
But why would they want money, you ask? Great question, golden star for you.
They want money for shopping, of course.
It so happens you can build a marketplace and a library. Those are places that allow you to research new spells, weapons, healing potions, and also earn some money for yourself.
Each time you research a new upgrade, the warriors that find it interesting will buy it and use it on battle. Pretty fun.
So this game is a mix of lots of styles and genres, which make it lots of fun.
The good news? It’s Universal and FREE for a limited time! What are you waiting for?

Snap & Sync
Now there’s a great idea!
Snap & Sync is a social photography app that may prove itself very useful.
The idea behind it is very simple. Sometimes when you go to places together with your friends, all of you guys usually take pictures on your own devices, and then you’ll never see their pictures, because they are too lazy to post it on facebook or send you by mail. Sometimes the lazy one is you. I know, I’ve been there.
So Snap & Sync has arrived to stop that from happening.
Basically you’ll create an album and invite your friends to that album. Then, every picture you guys take will go to the “cloud” and will be automatically shared and sync’d for all.
Nice, right?
Also, you can choose to publish all the photos directly to the Facebook, so another step skipped in the name of laziness!
This awesome app is free for a limited time, so don’t wait any longer!
FTP Sprite
What about a nice, simple and clean FTP client? Good idea, right?
FTP Sprite by ujweng does the job very well and you can install it free (for a limited time)
This Universal app feels just right on any device and there are no tricks. Configure it with the basic information and off you go.
You can configure it with several hosts and then one-click them to connect to each one of them.
Deleting a remote file is as easy as sliding your finger over it and tapping “Delete”.
Also, as in every FTP client, you are able to Upload/Download files from and to your device. Those files become then accessible via iTunes.
This is an application that I use quite often, and if you are used to connecting to FTP servers, you should install it right away.
This app is free for a limited time, so don’t overthink it.
SummitX Snowboarding
Another snowboarding game has just gone free on the AppStore, and we do love free stuff!
SummitX Snowboarding by Com2uS Inc is a great game where you’re free to snowboard around and ride down hard slopes, beating your records over and over again.
Since most of the snowboarding games are played the same way, we must focus on the graphics, and I must tell you these graphics are amazing.
Many effects, different boards, outfits, tracks and scenarios will make all the difference in this game.
While you accomplish the different tracks and levels, you will be awarded medals, that you will be able to use to buy new boards and tricks. Each new trick will give you the opportunity to gather more points at the end of the run.
I have always dreamt of snowboarding myself, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself so far, so this is the closest the I can get to doing it so far.
The controls are easy enough to use. Tilt the device to guide yourself, and use the side controls to perform tricks and landings.
This is a fun Universal game and it’s free for a limited time, so install it at once!

UFO Hotseat
If you are familiar with the best-game-ever X-Com: Ufo Defense, stop reading this and go to the bottom of this article to start downloading. It’s free for a limited time.
Now, for those of you that never knew what really happiness is, let’s take a quick tour, shall we?
UFO Hotseat by Andrey Davydov is the best next thing after X-Com, and it is an attempt to bring X-Com to your iOS device. Well, they succeeded. And more than that, they added a little bonus: multiplayer! Whaaaaaaa?
The graphics are also improved, since the original game dates from 1993.
You are in control of an anti-alien organization, and your objective is to confront them on the field. You are given a team and weapons.
Each team member has a limited number of actions, and pretty much anything he does can be considered an action; walking, shooting, throwing a grenade… you get the picture.
So, at the beginning of each level, you must start moving your troops around, using their allowed moves (or don’t, it’s your choice). After you’re done, end the turn and it’s your opponent’s time to shine. You won’t be able to see his movements unless your troops have a direct eyesight on them.
This is an immersive addicting game, and it’s universal and free for a limited time. Don’t wait any longer!
Draw Something
I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this awesome game yet!
Draw Something [Free Version] by OMGPOP is a Pictionary type game taken to the next level, and you just can’t miss it – even if you’re terrible at drawing (like yours truly).
The rules are simple enough: you’re given a word by the system, and your mission is to draw that word for your friend to guess it.
So all you need is a friend with the game installed and your fun bone activated and ready.
The game is turn-based, so it doesn’t have to be real-time. You play today, your friend can play back tomorrow, or the day after.
If it’s your time to guess, you’ll get to watch the whole (and sometimes painful) drawing process from the other side, as if your partner was drawing it right in front of you. You’ll even see his errors and whatnots.
Personally, I find it more fun to guess drawings of friends who can’t draw for their life. I find it hilarious to try to figure out what the heck is going on on the other side.
This game is on sales at this moment for $0.99, but there is a free version with ads that you can install and try out right away.
Go crazy!
Defense of Fortune HD
Looking for something fun and free? Well, look no more!
Defense of Fortune [HD] by Dotomchi is the doctor’s prescription for you, and you’ll pay nothing for it!
This is a fun castle defense game, and it will get you hooked until your neck hurts. Mine does.
You’ll start with 3 types of warriors to play with. One of them ia a melee warrior, that will always move forward until it finds an enemy. The other two of them will stay at the castle, defending. One is an archer, that will attack nearby hostile units, and the other is a healer, that will heal your warriors in range.
Also, you’ll start with a special aid of a catapult. It has 3 shots, then you’ll have to wait until it recharges.
As you progress in the game, you’ll be able to upgrade your units, and more types will become available to you, in a total of 8 different types (4 offense and 4 defense).
Also, depending on the money you have, you will be given the choice to build extra castle walls (so you can deploy more defensive units along the path). Almost everything in the game is upgradable, including the catapult.
This game looks good on the iPhone, but it really shines on the iPad. Lucky for you, it’s free on both for a limited time!

There are 20 tracks (16 normal + 4 special) with amazing graphics at your disposal.
Race in one of the 3 modes available, win them all!
