    Seeing another thread like this pop up again I'm wanting from a moderator to change the title to simply - "List of Underplayed Games & Hidden Gems" and I will continue to keep this thread updated.

    Also maybe a *sticky as I continue to update with more info along with everything I already have.

    And I will continue to add people's suggestions, right now the games listed with descriptions can be found on page 1, 4 and will continue to add on 5.

    There is a list of games only at the bottom of page 3, but a brief Description I think helps out alot more.

    Anyways, I'm going to add a few new games on page 5...

    I guess these are hidden gems?

    Eve of Impact
    OmegaPixel
    Necrorun
    Monkey Ninja
    Spooky Hoofs (was surprised to find out not a lot have heard of this game)
    Totem Runner (this is pretty new, but i dont think it got the attention it deserves)
    Captain Antarctica (this came out before Super Mole Escape, and they are very similar, and both are pretty fun. This didnt get the attention it deserves either)

    I dont think those 3 are "hidden" in the TA community. Especially Epichearts. Everyday since it was released, it finds its way to the first page of the games thread.

    I don't think there are any gameloft games, besides it's also for the general public so technically alot of games could be considered " hidden gems", although the majority of the games mentioned are actual "hidden gems"

    Underplayed games & hidden gems

    INFINITY PROJECT 2. This is an open world post apoctoliptic shooter, with side quest and an inventory system, perks are given through suits, this sifi fps epic feels like halo and fallout had a baby!!!

    Mission Europa ce, this system shock rpg dungeon crawler is amaizing, wih thousands of wepon types and armors this 60+ hour game is awesome...


    Flower Board - you have to group six or more balls together to dismiss them. Every round new balls are random added and you have to try, to survive as long as possible. Really relaxing game with really (really!!!!) relaxing shopping-mall/elevator music.

    The quest, as a big old school rpg player I was sucked in to arena and daggerfall, this is there turned based cousin. Miss Claire Garden - One of the most polished platformers on iOS, IMO. Reminiscent of old platformers like Super Mario Bros. 2, but with it's own flavor as well.

    Auditorium - Puzzle game. Direct streams of light (sound?) to a specified goal(s). Really nice music.

    Frotz
    - text based adventure game engine. It's bundled with some free adventure games but you can also play old Infocom classics

    The Quest - not really unknown but it's an old classic 3D RPG many people probably missed it. It's free roaming sort of like a 2D version of Elder Scrolls.

    Real Ski Jump HD - Ski Jump game made by the creator of Sonic

    The little crane that Could - sort of a 3D crane simulator where you have to drive a crane and perform various tasks with real physics.

    Feed me Oil
    - not exactly unknown but I think it's one of the best liquid puzzle games. I like it better than where's my water which gets a lot more attention.

    Windowsill - I dont know how to describe it but it's just an amazingly interesting game. Maybe more like a toy than a game.

    Vector Racing - vector graphics racing game very simple but kind of fun

    Black shades - FPS sniper game

    Critter chaos - a pretty fun physics puzzler game kind of like world of goo meets angry birds, consists of flicking goo together with balls to solve puzzles..

    PerfEct cell - a game this good should be alot more popular, you control a tiny ball of something that's alive and stuck in some lab. You goal is to escape by killing the army thats holding u in there. You can spit yourself up. Draw lines of where u want to go before you do it.. A really great game that u should play

    Slingshot racing - ok I know this isnt hidden but I feel it starting to slip into that reigon... I think with a game this good it should have more staying power.. I guess its the lack or multiplayer... Oh well(recenty has been updated :)

    Army of Darkness: tower defense. Like the other poster said, it's very addictive

    Shadow Era: TCG. Beautiful designs, very competitive field, deep strategy.

    Jangle: word game. It's only five 30-second rounds against the computer or an online/local opponent in real time. Very fast paced and challenging.

    Poker Kingdom: Chinese poker. Has an online multiplayer mode, but never used it.

    Toon shooter: this is a superfun shmup with pleasing graphics and creative gameplay (2 player co-op on same device, c'mon).

    Vay
    (absolutely fantastic J-RPG that offers hours and hours of gameplay)

    Onslaught! (great action game for "retro 2D" graphic fans)

    Legends of Yore - AWESOME retro rouge like.

    SEI - it's like Tetris and Scrabble at the same time.

    8 - Bit Rally
    - more like Sega CD rally!

    Battle for Cydonia - sort of a mix of... dare I say Command & Conquer?... and a console version (read: the Genesis/SNES versions) of Battletech.

    Pixel Ninja - this is what Tenchu for the PSOne would have been like if it was on the SNES.

    4 tenors - in this hilarious 4 played same device multiplayer game, your object is to knock off the other tenors and steal the spotlight.

    Ziggurat - in this overlooked real time defense game your standing on a hill protecting it shooting down enimies.

    Roboto - this I a higquality platformer that is seriously underplayed, it's up there with the best, check it out.

    Pigs in trees - another cool game where u fly around as a pig in a plane defending ur base from birds...

    Siege hero - this game was awesome, the day it cane out it had consistent high reviews.... The first chapter is ok, it's the second chapter where the game gets really good. It's a first person angry birds basically. At first it was just about shooting down the enemy but evlved into this really great combo of shooting and puzzle elements. It hasn't gotten an update in a awhile so I feel like alot of people are missing this one...(ok this was Finnaly updated a few weeks ago with the age of cowboys - it offererred the same great gameplay as in the previous chapters)

    Finger Shot Rpg - for as much love and hype as it's gotten recently I didnt wanna add it but even with that added hype I still feel the game is getting the love it deserves, turn-based multiplayer with multiple characters and slingshot mechanism...its amazing

    Gunman Clive - for as a good a game it is.. I don't see it getting enough attention... I think it's the graphics that make this one really stand out to go along with the addicting Megaman- style gameplay.

    Areomasters -
    this game is underlooked for being as polished as it is, a great dds...


    Puzzle sphere - another great overlooked puzzeler

    Coliseum heroes - or Coloseum two versions of bassicly the same game, reason being the original developer want getting the sales he needed so he turned to gamevil. It's an arena hack and slash that's fun and engrossing also challenging...hard to put down.

    Revolt - this came out in 2011? For 2.99 ur getting ur money's worth

    Onibi - it's a puzzle game infused with music and really great for the time it lasts..

    Princess pajama - it's free and has a perfect 5 from 50 people

    Raon defenders
    - haven't played this one either but looks good

    Coco loco - for being a chilingo game similar to angry birds I'd think this would be a bad thing.. But actually it's not, its a pretty fun slinging game..

    Army or darkness - this game won't let u stop playing until uve best it, that addictive

    Dragons rage - not sure what happened to this game it was for a time pretty huge. You control. Dragon move him around 360• with the acceleramator while blowing fire at swarms of people coming to get u, kind of a nice twist being the dragon with an awesome gameplay mechanic

    Monster Island - Ok as far is I'm concerned this is Miniclips best game it's a juiced up Fragger that relies alot more on puzzle strategy by switching between what to throw.

    Early bird - this game was insanely popular awhile ago and free.. Kind of like the old temple run or JPJR well it just got it's first update a little while ago in along time. Don't be fooled into thinkging its an AB rip. It's one of the the few legit bird games with a compeletly new gameplay mechanic.

    flaming igglo - it's a really complicated tdesque game where ur try to keep ir igloo from burning down while shooting a ship, playing around with a bunch of animals and throwing ice cubes and snowballs...

    Worms golf - this is a fun mix between worms and golf plays kind of like super stick man golf except you can play multiplayer with the worms taking turns..

    Reckless Getaway - though theyre probly known for their success with reckless racing, reckless getaway just might be the better game... Running from the cops in a 2d down perspective while manuvering around traffic... It's insanely fun...

    Osmos
    - I think I need to remind people that this game is probly still one of the best games on iOS and came up with a complete new game mechanic that left people speechless, and it still offers that same expierience now.

    Sugar Kid - Well I had a good amount of fun with this game. It features touch based line drawing puzzle gameplay. The objective is to protect the sugar kid from from dropping liquids by using lines to redirect where the flow of water(or other liquids) drops down to. This isn't the whole game though some levels require you to aim the liquid at sugar kid, some you need to fill in grids. Another aspect of thr gameplay is the ability to stop sugar kid by touching him as he walks back and forth. To sum it up the game looked to have everything need needed to be a hit, fun addicting and different gameplay, published by Bulkypix.. Unfortunately the game fell under the radar before it was even released.

    Underplayed games & hidden gems

    Underworlds, if you like diablo this is such a clone you will forget your not playing diablo, even more diablo like than dungeon hunter

    Clash Force, great little retro style platformer.

    'Final Run' Please check that out, small indie group have created it, great 'mad max' style world and you're in a car with the usual weapons etc, great little storyline, really enjoy it.

    Battleheart-an arcade/rpg fighter in which you control four units and try and survive waves of monsters.

    Enviro-bear 2010-you control a bear in a car. 'Nuff said.

    Dungeon raid-kind of like a match 3+ game. You draw lines through various items to accumulate equipment and health to help defeat monsters.

    Clash Force - another great hidden gem is . AWESOME retro action platformer!

    Nihilumbra, been enjoying that a lot lately

    Call of mini: zombies -Only 99c, and is a lot funner then left2die IMO.It's a third person shooter using somewhat blocky textures (it's meant to be blocky.) it is made by triniti and is an arena shooter, it features online co op survival, a vs, in which you vs other people. You can upgrade weapons or buy new ones, if you shoot at the zombies, sometimes they explode.
    You can also buy new characters to play as.

    Hero Academy- Its basically all I play now. Deep tactics in a words with friends style package.

    Urban Rivals - Multiplayer card game. Very cool art.

    Star Breed - 'Choose your own adventure' style, with a couple minigames.

    Russian Dancing Men - Tap to avoid obstacles. Funny cutscenes and music.

    Battle Monster Casino - Collect and train monsters to fight in a sort of 'battle royale' in the casino. Place bets with credits you earn on the monster you think will win. Oddly addicting.

    Zombie Parkour Runner/Zombie Runner Z Best runners involving zombies!

    Beauty Run don't let the name turn you off, it's a great runner that offers a unique gliding mechanic, gets pretty challenging as well

    Papercut great runner with a superb soundtrack and a constant day/night cycle that makes your running feel like a journey

    Hoggy/Robot Wants Kitty great overlooked puzzle platformers

    The Rainy Day Most relaxing runner out there, captures the ambiance of a rainy day on the street. You run away from rain drops, take shelter in once in a while and rescue lost pets. The goal is to reach your home without getting drenched. Recommended for the retro graphics and perfect ambiance

    Continuity 2 - A great puzzle game set as a platformer. Great visual style and music. The puzzles can get frustratingly difficult though. [for some people this is a positive]

    Cubes vs Spheres - You get spheres that you have a launch at an increasing number of cubes headed your way. Looks as crazy as it sounds, set in first person. Great graphics and a wide variety of sphere weapons. Smashing cubes is very satisfying

    Zombie Smash - A horizontal TD of sorts. Defend against zombies coming your way. You have to kill zombies by physically picking them up or using special power ups. Lot of fun smashing zombies

    Hard Lines - Snake with a great visual style and additional modes.

    Mad Chef - A game similar to fruit ninja without the swiping. you need to get ingredients and complete recipes. Same dev as Bug Heroes. Additional modes and lots of upgrades

    Axe in Face If anyone knows me or follows my tweets and posts they will be more than aware that this is my favorite game by a long shot. I have completed every level to the highest score possible and still play the game constantly. Good job they are making it Universal and adding a second level pack.

    Jump Out - I know this game has finally gotten some popularity recently but I think I was one of the first people to have it... I'm mean there were a few reviews but nothing much. I felt the game was really good and was on par with any other physics based puzzler, or atleast had the potential to be. The game was finally updated recently with some new stuff but still nothing like I had hoped for... I'd still check it out though...

    The Blackhole - it's a puzzle game that's similar I think to aZ more popular game with the same idea.I think The Blackhole just works better then the other game and has more depth (not quite sure of the name might have sumthing to do about germs or something?)

    Eboo
    - well I don't know how well known his game really is but I do know that Ive never seen it mentioned and that its really fun. I guess it's kind of like a cave flyer? I dunno it's the kind of game where u take off and fly around trying to get to land on another spot while collecting stars, dodging things and even picking up and dropping stuff. It feels like it should be popular I dunno maybe it's old, but it has great gameplay controls , graphocs etc...(Ok this game was actually just rereleased under another title.. Sumthin like cave flyer or something,not sure but....I lol at everyone in the reviews not knowing it's an old game. Just Proves how buried good games can get)

    Pollushot - probly the most unique game I've ever played combing the slingshot type physicals of a physics platformer with a shmup. You shoot enimies catch the damage and shootem again.

    Buccaneer Blitz - It's one of those Rts games whEre ur constantly moving ( modern combat etc..) except this game takes place with boats in a fully 3d world with alot more interactivity. For example you get to control and shoot doWn other ships manually. There's alot more to it overall... The game is able to keep the simplicity of a fast pace Rts game whil still getting the player more Involved with what's going on.

    Froggato -
    this platformer which is actually probly on par with a snes platformer in terms of originality and gameplay. Is not ur average fast paced speed run type platformEr. And it's not Terra Noctis in fact I've only heard it mentioned a few times even on here before, and at 4.99 it's seems a bit overpriced but I highly recommend u check it out.

    Axe in Face(simple line drawing defense game). Probly more recognized than anything Above but still a game I doubt many people have even heard of.

    Shoot the birds - exactly what it sounds like... Shoot birds flying across the screen with ur Bow And arrow.....u play the role of a scarecrow

    Vibre
    - like the game circadian, you push circles in the right order etc..

    Dabble - a fun word game, I think I've seen some other variations of it..

    Bitter sam - I feel like this game got over looked for some reason? It's similar to saving yellow and captain antaritica, except it came out awhile ago.

    Rejoin - Im not quite sure how I found this game but when I did there was only about 100 other people with the game, now it has alot more. It's a really hard but fun puzzle game where u control two balls with one button and try to get them back together.

    Stunt pear - I hadn't heard of this game until Gabrien from this forum reccomeneded it. It's the only game I've ever heard say good things about and thays saying something.

    European war 3 - despite it's name this is actually a really fun strategical board game.. Where you do have control of armies in wars other than just Europe. In campaign you play in Wars spanning years across the world... For example you can play in the civil war and be the rebels or the north, you can play ww1, the American vs British war(forgot the name). In conclusion it's A great game with a bad game title..

    Flyme2themoon - I think this was rereleased like eboo(now pod flyer or sumtuing?) was.. Anyways its actually alot like that game except it looks kind of like a Cave game. So it's a pod landing game with the design of a Cave shump.. Really good

    Dungeons and such - a Textbook sytle Rpg that's suprisingly deep and enjoyable....

    Piggy adventure - there's this game called the 3 sheep or something and it's alot like what this game is...except I find this one to be much better.

    Haraki - not sure how to describe this one kind of like pong except you control two little people. I guess it's like raquet ball In 2d because ucan hit the sides and even go on the sides...

    Fly with me - a good .99 game from EA that got overlooked and fell off the charts.. Not sure why it was a good game

    Bang - the card game... Ok probly not that hidden but it's a cool game with some pretty deep multiplayer that doesnt get enough recognition..

    Iron worm - this is a sequel two there other worm game... Except this one os about killing enimies,aybe they hoped that would make the game more popular ut it didn't sad because it's from 10 tons a well know developer and it's a good game as well

    Squirmee Redux - a pretty old game that at one point in time was popular enough that it got a redux... Hard to describe the game but it's pretty difficult but

    Revenge of the Rob-O-Bot-Awesome production values and currently on sale(11/24)
    Yipe V...Wonderful RPG.
    Lucky 11's by Megatouch (if this game had online leader boards it would be my number 1)
    Slingo (Not hidden but fantastic)

    Reiner Knizia's Poison - card game
    Nimble Strong -bartender game
    Diablo Dice
    - dice throwing game
    Volcano Island -- board game
    Doodle Grub -snake game

    Knighturn - turn based strategy

    The red Skittle
    Changed the title and added a few reserve posts for you to collate the information in one place rather than throughout the thread.

    About the sticky - I think there are getting a bit too many stickied threads already. We'll see how it goes.

    Underplayed games & hidden gems

    I'd like to add all the games made by Cipher Prime (Auditorium, Fractal, Splice and pulse)

    Bar Oasis(1, 1.5 and 2) which are really well written and interesting despite not really being a game.

    Skyriders: A very polished platformer (In space!) that is very underrated.

    Beat Sneak Bandit: One of the best rhythm game ever made

    Nihilumbra: A portal-esque puzzle platformer with a good story

    Get Out of My Galaxy: A polished and fun multitouch experience from outer space with levels that can be compared to some planets of Super Mario Galaxy (albeit not with the same scope or design)

    Vincere Totus Astrum and Orion:
    Two really excellent 4x game

    The Quest - it was mentioned before but I have to second it. This classic 1st person RPG is huge. How huge? The base game has over 50 hours of content and there are currently 14 high quality expansions with 20+ hours of gameplay each. You do the math.

    One of my hidden gems is PDA Games
    A LOT of great retro style platforming fun, apparently these were a mini game from 'Alien Hominid'
    The apps dirt cheap, huge variety of levels, a lot of fun, love it

    Necromancers Rising - A lengthy 1st person 3D macabre dungeon crawler. It was an excellent game for it time and is still great fun but was suppased in nearly everyway by is successor.....


    Mission Europa - Bigger and better than Necromancer Rising, Europa has a slightly different sci-fi horror theme. Europa's storyline is improved over Necromancer and it also has online Multiplayer. Unfortunately however since its not a mainstream game you'll be hard pressed to find anyone online.


    SilverFish / Silverfish Max (ipad) - Its a beautiful pac-man / geometry wars hybrid dont know how else to describe it...even the dev said it didnt make alot of money. its a shame cause the game is brilliant.

    Project 83113 - is a brilliant mega man like title i dont hear much about one the top platformers on the ios imo.

    Zombies - is a fantastic little gem that uses the graphic styles of SuperBrothers but they make a zombie twinstick out of it and has one of the best sound tracks ive heard in a while.

    Sigma - one of the best match 3 titles on the ios it just didnt sell well so they never updated it, yet i still play it!!! You have wheels on each side with colored blocks and you can rotate each one to make a match you tap the block to swap it from one side to the other its harder then it sounds but a amazing game none the less with a high level of polish.

    Gene Effect - there is Waking mars then there is this hidden gem Gene Effect its like Waking mars only way better imo, its got a excellent story that unfolds as you play it and is one of the most immersive games ive played with head phones on it needs to be played in the dark for the true effect. This game needs to experienced period if you like flying in a ship in sci-fi caves finding stuff and exploring then dl now.

    Spell Rift - If you have a i device then you need to know the KiefferBros they make the most polished word games on the ios period and this new one kinda slipped out of no where its a successor to their brilliant Lexic/ABCA (it got renamed) game before it, if you like words games then give it a try they have added alot in this new title from them.

    Aqueduct - KiefferBros again this time with a beautiful sliding puzzle game that gets TOUGH as you get through it, they did update to retina also dont miss this one.

    Polara - i really hope people play this game, im sick of runners like everyone else but this game is a runner combined with Ikaruga (Ikaruga was a side scroller bullethell where you could absorb bullets depending on the color of your ship) it goes for the same here you can switch from red and blue and absorb the colors, if its your opposite you die , there are also ramps and things that can only be landed on if you are that certain color...

    Food chain - LOL so random i know but if you ever liked Tetris Attack this as close to Tetris attack your gonna get its exact cept its food rather then shapes.

    God of Blades - I dont know how popular it is, but its GOTY for me its that good they just added a online Revanant mode where it allows players with high scores to challenge you if hit that score you will encounter the players avatar and you try to defeat them, its a runner/rpg that uses art inspiration from old 1970s pulp fantasy novels, there is a great story and even makes you go to the library to use the in games Loremaster which allows you to check in with foursquare and it sees your at the library to unlock swords you could not unlock normally as you level up...the entire game is so unique and awesome words just dont do it justice.

    Biolab Disaster. Really easy and short, but so fun. It's a sci-fi action platformer. Like I said, short and easy - but I personally had a lot of fun going through it. Much like the action and platforming (sans loot system) of Random Heroes, it is a charming throw back and retro love-letter to the games of the 8 and 16 bit era.


    Bridge Constructor - you try to build durable bridges and than drive trucks and cars over them to see if they hold up.

    BallAHolic - this game an awesome 3D platformer where you guide a worm like creature by moving the world around. It has multiple and great controls.

    Shove Pro is another recent release that didnt get much attention. The game is so much fun to play. It's a runner game where your character runs facing you, and you shove people into your pursuers or other elements in the game to wrack up scores and multipliers. Im a little sad that it wasnt recognized much in the TA boards with it's potential and the fun it offers.

    Chip Chain: Match 3 strategy game with Triple Town style. It is a new game but it's not getting attention. It's free but it abuse a little of IAPs.

    Wheeler's Treasure: Great platformer with fresh gameplay. And it's free!

    Zaga-33: Great rogue game which quick games are perfect to play with your iPhone.

    Aliens versus Humans: Amazing XCOM game, with better gameplay in some areas than the new version of Firaxis.

    LostStar Tactics: Great turn-based strategy game. It is well known in these forums, but it deserves more attention.

    Tichu: One of the greatest card games ever with a solid implementation. Simple rules hard to master. There are almost no people playing it online, so go buy it and lets play 2 vs 2!

    Pizza Boy- An excellent and challenging platforming game, and probably the closest iOS game you'll get to Super Mario. It also has excellent 16-bit graphics. And most importantly: The controls are as tight as a......umm......something really tight I guess......

    Toy Defense- A tower defense game where your green toy soldiers have to prevent the grey ones from raiding your base. It's pretty straight forward, but there are tons of levels to beat, long and challenging ones.

    Dino Cap 2- It's essentially Triniti's answer to Zombieville USA, but the game is still a LOT of fun. There are multiple heroes to buy and choose from, each having their own perks and weapons. You play different missions ranging from capturing Dino eggs, surviving for x seconds, fighting boss dinos, etc., each ranging in difficulty.

    Brainsss- A unique RTS game where you control a group of zombies, and you must zombify all the humans in that area as quickly as possible.

    Tiny Troopers- This game is really hard to explain, but it's fun. I highly recommend it.

    Age of Zombies Anniversary- Okay guys... I'm about to BLOW. YOUR. MIND. You ready......? Halfbrick...has made games besides Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. I KNOW RIGHT!!!!! Anyway, this was actually the first Halfbrick game I played. I got the original version on the PSP and I LOVED it, and was one of my favorite Minis on it. I eventually bought the Anniversary edition on my iPhone, and of course, it felt natural on touchscreen, though it's technically a port. Anyway, it's a really fun DSS where you kill zombies and get super high scores. There is a story mode (which is quite funny), and survival mode (which is quite fun). Give it a go.

    VS. Racing 2- Hands down the best arcade racer in the app store. Period. It's just really fun, plenty tracks to race on, all with different terrain, cars to purchase, upgrade and customize, and the controls are PERFECT.

    Apocalypse Max: Better Dead Than Undead- I can't believe most people haven't heard of this. It's half platformer, half shoot 'em-up. The comic style graphics are great, there are multiple difficulties, cool upgradeable weapons, and plenty of levels to kill zeds in.

    Doodle Army- There is SO much fun to be had in this game. There are 7 missions to choose from, each drastically different in surroundings, and you keep moving and shooting until you get killed. Actually, you can go as far as you want, but the further you make it, the tougher the enemies get. Oh yeah, and the enemies and weapons are specific to the theme of whatever mission you play. And so are the mini games. Ah, the mini games, or sometimes referred to as boss battles. These, IMO, are the coolest and most fun parts of the game. They can range from surviving a zombie onslaught while in a bunker, to fighting in a plane overseas. It's just so epic, you want to keep coming back for "one more go."
