If you're in the mood for a quality Pokemon clone for iOS and Android, perhaps Monster Life is right for you. This free-to-play title from Gameloft lets you train and obsess over a variety of adorable creatures, which you can then use to battle rivals. Meanwhile, you're able to customize a ranch however you see fit, placing statues, habitats for your newfound friends and other structures that earn gold and XP; believe us, you'll need both.
On that note, read our Monster Life cheats and tips guide to get better acquainted with the game.
PadGadget: If you’re in the market for a super cute app, look no further than Monster Life. This adorable freemium app stars blocky 3D monsters that look a lot like paper cutouts. The colors are bright and the gameplay is simplistic, which makes it perfect for kids and adults alike.
AR: Monster Life is a city-building game with vibrant, paper-inspired 3D animation. In the village of Numa, all monsters where killed by the evil creature, Chaos. Little did he know that a monster keeper kept his monster hidden and secretly built a safe place for them.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): When it comes to portable gaming, most diehard Nintendo fans would probably choose a DS or 3DS over an iOS and Google-powered device, which is perfectly fine, as the big N provides unique experiences they can't find anywhere else. Inevitably, though, many of these same people will buy smartphones and tablets, both of which have a fine selection of Nintendo-inspired titles to enjoy. On that note, here are a few iPhone, iPad and Android games that bear a striking resemblance to some of Nintendo's greatest hits.
Gameloft's freemium model is one of the most annoying out there. If they're not constantly begging you for money, they're trying to get you to post on Facebook every few seconds. You usely hit a point too where you can't proceed without buying something, so they really should be called pay to pay games instead of freemium.
I've also found them to be very untrust worthy, as a while back I bought one of their games, paying for the full game (Oregon Trail) and about a year later, they turned it into a pay to play game. No one should be aloud to change a game you've already bought in this way. If you buy anything from them, be sure to back up your game app file between every update because you never know when they'll take the game back and turn it into a freemium / pay to play title..
