TouchArcade Rating: Dandara ($1.99) from developer Long Hat House and publisher Raw Fury is a very interesting game for me. I obviously love the gravity-defying Metroidvania platformer but the way the release was handled initially was excellent. It hit every platform including mobile at the same time and costed the same across the board. Recently, a big free update was announced for Dandara in the form of the Trials of Fear expansion. Watch the trailer for it below: The expansion has just gone live for me on iOS and Xbox

TouchArcade Rating: Originally released on PC back in 2006, Company of Heroes ($13.99) is now on iPad thanks to Feral Interactive. The real time strategy classic has been adapted for touchscreen with two control options and a plethora of enhancements in its newest incarnation on iOS as a premium release. Since this is a Feral Interactive port, expectations are very high given their superlative track record. I’ve been playing Company of Heroes on a first generation iPad Pro (9.7") over the last week and the conversion is mostly everything I
