It's International Women's Day, so what better time to celebrate the female protagonists on the App Store? Well, every day really, because it's important to cherish diversity and inclusivity. That's what we do here at AppSpy.

From the developer behind Bastion, this is a game about a woman who becomes entangled with a mysterious talking sword. Part action RPG, part adventure, all really good. It's super polished and super fun.

A clever puzzler that sees you bouncing between boxes using the titular warps. It's a head-scratcher and no mistake. And it wouldn't really work on anything other than mobile. Definitely worth checking out.

A Simogo classic. Work your way through an adventure presented solely in language. It's sort of a gamebook, but it's much more than that, and it uses your iPhone or iPad in ways that other developers just wouldn't think of.

A game featuring an intrepid team of female space adventurers. It's smart, well written, and there are plenty of QTEs to keep you interested. One of the most interesting space-based games we've seen on the App Store in the past few years.
