Best Android Games of the October Week: Hellraid The Escape, Ironclad Tactics, CounterSpy, and more

All titles that are posted below are listed in no particular order, so that you will be able to decide for yourself which ones to install. Most Android video games are coming with in-app purchases, but in this post we’ve tried to list games that are mostly free of any extra purchases. However, since the developers still need to make money out of their work, then you will have to buy their games in order to install them.

Below you can find small reviews for six new Android video games along with Google Play Store download and install links. Note that in case you can think of other great Android video games that were recently launched, then you can tell us in comments.

Hellraid: The Escape – $2.99

I love this game’s “embrace death to escape” tag-line, as you will mostly have to die first in order to complete all the puzzles and escape the game’s gritty dungeons. Every time you die you will be resurrected at the chamber’s entrance. This is a first-person puzzler that use the Unreal Engine graphics and it offers one of the best mobile video game experience.

The game starts with your character being awaken in a tomb and right away you are killed by a horrific demon. After that you will resurrect and find a note left behind by a person / corpse that was probably in your exact situation. Read the note and then then on your quest will begin. Hellraid: The Escape is $2.99 in Google Play Store, and it can be installed on all Android 2.3 and later OS versions.

The Nightmare Cooperative – $3.99

This game is designed by Lucky Frame and it is a turn-based puzzler in which you will control several characters. Each character has different skills and every time one dies it will stay dead, it forces you to try and complete the level with the remaining characters. Note that each new game started will be entirely different than the last one played.
