#7 Hitman Go

To break down Hitman Go in simplest terms, it's an isometric, turn-based take on the stealth franchise. The developer of the game said, “It takes the high-level concepts of a very sophisticated console/PC title and makes it work on mobile without feeling compromised. It finds the essence of the idea and a good alternative means of presenting/executing on it”.

Hitman GO is a turn-based puzzle game with beautifully rendered diorama-style set pieces. You will strategically navigate fixed spaces on a grid to avoid enemies and take out your target or infiltrate well-guarded locations. You really have to think about each move and all the Hitman tools of the trade you would expect are included; disguises, distractions, sniper rifles and even 47’s iconic Silverballersxx. It’s a Christmas special game and is available for Android and iOS platforms.

Monument Valley is a surreal exploration through fantastical architecture and impossible geometry. Guide the silent princess Ida through mysterious monuments, uncovering hidden paths, unfolding optical illusions and outsmarting the enigmatic Crow People. It's a short, sweet little game with brilliant puzzle design — and it's not bad on the eyes, either. In Monument Valley you will manipulate impossible architecture and guide a silent princess through a stunningly beautiful world.

#9 Pokmon TCG Online

Thus, the iOS-friendly version of the popular trading card game was born. TCG Online is updated frequently, easy to use and it allows you to easily play against friends and strangers alike.

It may not be the Pokémon you're craving on a mobile platform, but it does scratch a specific itch. It is the first Pokémon game of the MMOTCG (massively-multiplayer online trading card game) genre. The game originally released on March 24, 2011 as browser-based game but became a downloadable game in 2012 for PC and Mac. An iPad client was added in September 2014.

#10 Thomas was alone

Already a hit on browsers, PCs and consoles, Thomas Was Alone brought its solitude to iOS this year too.

This game was on the top 10 games of all time on the handheld devices and also one of the most grossing devices for 2014. This game is available for iOS only. So, get this game and have fun on your handheld devices.
