There are lots of very well known time and/or resource management games around. We’re certainly fans of such favorites as Township, SimCity BuildIt, and Clash of Clans.

That said we’re always on the lookout for a new contender. Are you ready to dive into ancient Greece? Well buckle up buckos and get going with Archimedes: Eureka!.

Archimedes: Eureka! is a new time management strategy game that’s a lot of fun, full of ever-increasing challenges, and offers up some very inventive extra activities that will keep you engrossed for hours on end.

Gameplay:

Like many city build up time management titles, Archimedes: Eureka!, which comes to us courtesy of Jetdogs Oy, is all about utilizing resources just the right way to balance income with the cost of building and improving.

This can seem overwhelming at first so we appreciate the tutorial style intro to the game where Archimedes: Eureka! breaks it all down one activity at a time.

The story line is that Archimedes inadvertenly destroyed the city and you start with a certain amount of resources that allow you to begin rebuilding the city.

You begin by building houses that generate income and move on from there. If you stay with it you’ll be rewarded with a game that offers challenges and surprises, such as inventing new machines along with Archimedes.

We loved this aspect of the game and think it can be expanded and developed further to a point where the game could be a very cool setting for an even larger focus on learning physics, architecture, as well as resource optimization and more.

Layout & Design:

The graphics in Archimedes: Eureka! are a bit simplistic but fit just right for the game. They’re not horribly advanced or slick, but you really don’t need that and, more importantly, they are clear which is a must in this kind of game where planning and strategy count.

The only ad in the game comes up when you see your progress and tries to get you to purchase the full version.

You can compete with other users around the world via the Archimedes: Eureka! Hall of Fame (aka leader board), track your achievements and see your challenges.

There’s a lot here to keep you engrossed, entertained and coming back for more.

One other thing we’d like to point out is that while this is an excellent iPad game, it’s less so on an iPhone. Playing it on an iPhone can be quite challenging. It’s hard to touch exactly what you want and it’s impossible to read the goals for the level without a magnifying glass.

Overall Value:

While Archimedes: Eureka! is free to download and play, you’ll have to pony up for the full version if you really want to get the most out of it. That’s not a bad thing! There’s plenty to gain by shelling out the cost of the upgrade ($6.99).

The good news is that you get plenty enough for free to figure out if this game if for you and, if you’re like us, you’ll very likely get addicted to it straight away.

We give Archimedes: Eureka! a hearty recommendation because it’s fun, inventive, challenging and you don’t have to pay a dime to check it out. What’s not to like?

Archimedes: Eureka! requires iOS 8.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Of all the great games available in the App Store it can be a challenge to decide which ones to check out. If you’re into strategy games, however, look no further. Here is a rock solid recommendation for you.

Medieval Dynasty is a turn-based strategy game that’s creatively designed and expertly balanced so it’s challenging enough to keep you engaged while not being frustratingly difficult.

Developed by Andrea Testa, this unique title doesn’t feature flashy graphics. Instead, it requires extensive awareness and the creativity of your imagination.

Concept and Gameplay:

As someone who is used to iOS games being all about rich graphics and fast-paced gameplay, Medieval Dynasty is a refreshing experience.

Instead of being able to see everything you’re doing in a game in real time, you have to tap into your imagination in order to experience the game to its fullest.

Medieval Dynasty starts you off with a very in-depth tutorial so you can get a feel for how the game is supposed to work.

It’s a turn-based strategy where your decisions will have long term effects on the outcome of the game. The goal is to keep your kingdom stable for as long as possible while balancing the need for resources, political factions, and improvements in your kingdom.

Personally I think this is a fantastic game if you’re into strategy titles. Medieval Dynasty requires careful choices and informed decisions, so you really do have to concentrate on the big picture if you want to succeed.

Features:

Medieval Dynasty takes you through the Middle Ages from 476 AD to 1492 AD. This means that if you play wisely, your game can last for quite a long time. As someone who loves getting lost in games, this is a huge perk for me.

If you’re a fan of statistics, Medieval Dynasty provides a detailed overview of everything your kingdom has done since the start of your game. You can even compete against other players on the leaderboard to see who is the best medieval ruler.

Value:

Medieval Dynasty is available to download from the App Store for free. There are ads that will pop up occasionally, but not often enough to be annoying.

You do have the option of purchasing additional XP so you can use more resources, but I found that it’s not really necessary.

Overall, Medieval Dynasty is a wonderfully creative adventure game that requires imagination, forethought, and strategy.

If you’re looking to try something new, I definitely recommend giving this title a try.

Medieval Dynasty Game of Kings requires iOS 9.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
