      Bombardiers Guild.
      Also: Bombardiers Guild.

      This gem is so hidden it might as well be invisible, but it's a cool idea with cool gameplay, it's surprisingly intense, it's crazy fun, and it's polished and executed flawlessly.
      At first it seems like luck and chaos, but as you progress, so will your skill level. This is a very difficult/challenging game, but every time I lost a match I just wanted to play even more. You can actually appreciate the enemy's talent, but you keep thinking, "dammit, I almost had him that time." And, so, you can never stop playing.

      Do I sound obsessed? I'd happily blabber on some more if my opinion of the game hasn't been clear...

      I'm a puzzlegamer, so I read some reviews of Huebris and downloaded it.
      I have now played ca. 15 min and I agree it's a true hidden gem.
      It's a great game, where you really have to think forward.

      Thanks a lot for the tip :)

      What are the hidden gems in the App Store

      The last RPG I played was Jade Empire for XBox. Its definitely one of the best Ive played. I dont have time for RPGs these days, but I did enjoy them a lot, at one point.

      Dark Nebula is a really polished game that no one talks about. It's the only hidden gem I can think of.

      Undercroft - a traditional Dungeon Master type of RPG with around 25 hours of gameplay content. It has superb graphics, music, story and playability. I see much discussion of The Quest, but Undercroft is just so much slicker, though largely ignored. It's the only iPhone game I've felt compelled to complete.

      I wish there there more turn-based RPGs influenced by classic titles like Dungeon Master / Eye of the Beholder / Lands of Lore in the App Store.

      The Infinity Project (sci fi FPS) and CatTaTa (accelerometer controlled love story...with cats) are both most definately hidden gems.
