When it comes to what the kids I know are playing these days, it comes down to two things: Anything to do with Minecraft and Minilip’s Agar.io (Free). Agar.io is a massive online multiplayer game, which is also playable as a free browser game, puts you in charge single cell which floats around in a universe filled with other organisms, and the whole idea is to grow as large as possible while consuming anything (and anyone) smaller than you. Knowing the theme of the game, it’s pretty crystal clear why it was chosen for inclusion in Netflix’s shockingly popular House of Cards, as, well, that is basically the M.O. of Frank Underwood.
Season 4 just went online for viewing on Netflix, and Agar.io can be seen being played during episode 9, at about 31 minutes in. Of course, House of Cards is fantastic, so I wouldn’t advise just jumping ahead to get a glimpse of Kevin Spacey playing an iPhone game… But, it’s there.
Last year, Monument Valley made it into the show, and it’s cool to see Netflix continuing the show off cool mobile games in what’s since turned into one of their more (most?) popular Netflix-exclusive series. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really should fix that problem.

Good review! Good game! (Still haven't completed it yet).
Good Shaun. I too would give this four stars presently. Your reviews are the best!
Great and fair review; stil playing through with my now lvl20 Assassin, and will probably do at least one more full playthroughs with one of the man magic classes. Very solid game for what it is, and the dev is very good at communicating here on the forum.
*many magic classes. Also, the pets and array of abilities plus the different skills enemies have give this game great battles, full of strategy, unlike many other turn based games. With all the different classes and stuff to discover or experiment with, combined with the laid back, easy going play style and still having plenty of depth makes it very easy to play through multiple times. Replay ability is always good with RPGs.
Hey Shaun thanks so much for playing the game and taking your time to review it! You really made my day! I love the community here at touch arcade they have really helped shape the game in so many ways. To honest this game wouldn't have happened with out them.
I have a huge update that I'm hoping to submit this weekend that adds some navigation help (indicators on next floor squares) as well as some new pets, content and adjustments to the game suggested by the community. Keep an eye on the forum thread I'll be posting screenshots today.
good game
