Good Game Get! League of Evil
Platforming using exclusively touch screen controls has been a mixed bag for me, and mostly I haven’t liked it. League of Evil is truly one of the only games on the iPhone that does it perfectly, or at least the best it can on a touch screen.
League of Evil is about this dude who is rad, who has been appointed by some dudes to kill some evil scientist dudes while staying alive and killing other dudes along the way.
We’re talking like chopping off their big ol’ scientist “i’m smarter than you” head to complete a level. It’s awesome, and a pretty satisfying way to reach a goal.
Gratification.
I buy and try a lot of iPhone apps and games, and sometimes they don’t keep my attention for very long, but League of Evil has done a phenomenal job of keeping me coming back. It has short difficult levels with insta-death that is very similar to Super Meat Boy, but unlike Team Meat and their childish hatred of the App Store, Ravenous Games have embraced iOS and really perfected smart and tight platforming controls on the device.
Plus it’s only 99ยข and I feel kind of guilty only paying that little for it. It’s that good.
