It’s Wednesday, and even though things are starting to slow down for the end of year festivities, that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down in our mission to make sure you’re getting the best iOS games for the cheapest price possible.

So here’s a roundup of the five best games that are on sale right now on the App Store. There are plenty more bangers for cheap right now as well, what with it nearly being Christmas and all that.

But these five are the bangerest of the bangers. I don’t even think that makes sense, but I don’t really care. Here’s the list, make sure you have a good hard read.

XCOM: Enemy Within

Right now a lot of 2K’s games are super cheap, but this is the one you should be buying. It’s a brilliant mobile version of one of the best strategy games of the past ten years.

Tough, unrelenting, and absolutely massive. And you can get it for less than the price of a pint of beer. It’d be silly not to, if you think about it.

Transistor

A gorgeous action RPG set in a gloomy dystopian future that’s coloured in beautiful neon. Brilliantly written, brilliantly designed, and just a bit brilliant all round really.

There’s a lot to see and do here, and you’re going to enjoy doing and seeing it all. So go and pick it up right now while it’s cheap as chipped potatoes.

Alto’s Adventure

Subscribe to AppSpy on

One of the loveliest endless runners ever made. Alto’s Adventure sees you sliding down the side of a mountain chasing some llamas. As you do.

It’s a stunning, cathartic adventure that also happens to have one of the fiercest compulsion loops on the App Store. Buy it now in preparation for the soon-to-be-released sequel.

The Room Three

The Room Two is on sale at the moment as well, so if you’ve not played that, grab it too. This pokey, proddy spooky adventure series is basically some of the most fun you’re going to have on your phone.

And the final chapter, while missing some of the focus of the original, is still a wonderfully gothic, head-scratching experience.

Framed

An intelligent and super clever story wrapped around a mechanic that sees you moving comic panels around to save the protagonist from danger.

It’s a unique experience, and while it might not be the longest game out there, you’ll enjoy every second that you spend with it.
