If you're looking for a slightly more challenging battle system than we're usually given on mobile then Beast Quest might be what you're looking for.

It's out now as a free download on iOS and Android.

It's probably best compared to Infinity Blade as you need to time your dodges and attacks while fighting large foes - beasts, as it were.

Except it's a lot more colourful than Infinity Blade ever was. That's on account of it being based on the Beast Quest books. Yes, this is an adaptation.

So, if you're a fan of those books, giving this a look seems imperative.

For everyone else, well, what have we got here? There's an open world fantasy with wizards, yetis, and ancient artifacts.

There's also a hack-'n'-slash core that balances fast-paced action with a need to observe your enemies and measure them up.

You can download Beast Quest on the App Store and Google Play right now.
