Refurbished iPad Retina Display - Best free iPad games - buyEtail.com

 

 Did you just pick up an iPad? Maybe you’re looking for a new, cheap way to kill time? You’re in luck - we’ve got some great games here that look and play great on the big screen, and they’re all available for the low, low price of free. For many folks, these games will be great regardless of device you’re playing on, so even if you're an iPhone user, feel free to peruse the list.

It’s worth keeping in mind that just about all of these employ in-app purchases of some kind or another. Many gamers would much rather pay a flat fee up-front, but we’re writing this for the cheapskates. We’re also trying to avoid “lite” games, since you won’t get a lot of replay value by only having the first couple of levels and being pestered to upgrade to buy the rest.

Without further ado, here’s our list. Don’t be shy to sing out in the comments with your favorite free games for the iPad.

 

RAD Soldiers

RAD Soldiers quickly replaced Hero Academy as my favorite turn-based strategy game thanks to its modern feel and deep customization options. Players build out a squad of deadly mercenaries and fight over missile crash sites at locales across the globe (for some reason), earn cash, and spend it on recruiting new members. Game maps are sectioned off as a grid, and are riddled with low cover and high cover locations which can mitigate incoming fire. Each character has a certain number of action points they can use in a turn, a selection of special abilities, and health bar that varies in size by character. You can chew on single-player challenges for awhile to earn rewards, or you can take the fight online against other players. Expansion packs can be bought through in-app purchases, or you can pick up the in-game currency to fast track your mercenary outfit’s gear.

RAD Soldiers is a fine mix of strategy and action, with plenty of progression and customizability to boot.

 Spaceteam

Spaceteam is a decidedly unique local multiplayer game. Players gather together with their iPads and iPhones and connect over either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. They’re then presented with ridiculously-labeled spaceship consoles, with all manner of sliders, knobs, switches, and buttons. Each player then has a message flashing telling them which control needs to be tweaked in order to save their ship from exploding. The thing is, that control could be on anybody’s device, so what ends up happening is everybody starts barking ludicrous orders at one another with straight-faced urgency. Random events can have players in a panic trying to wipe goop off their controls while going through these episodes.

Spaceteam will be one of the most fun party games you play, and thanks to cross-platform compatibility, even your Android-toting friends can join in.

Plants vs. Zombies 2

Plants vs. Zombies is a venerable iOS franchise for a good reason. The bizarre premise of protecting your back lawn from hordes of undead with sunflowers is certainly part of that, but there’s a lot of tactical thinking in terms of plant choices before the attack begins, and placement. In Plants vs. Zombies 2, you’re taken back in time to defend against zombies dressed in era garb, and try out all sorts of new mechanics. The zombies are getting smarter, and challenge your reaction speed in a number of ways, though you also have a whole new complement of plants to use. Stages also have new terrain features to keep every round fresh. Plant food can be collected to super-charge any plant when things get especially hairy, plus new gesture-based powers can help you clear the bigger waves.

All in all, Plants vs. Zombies 2 presents deep strategic gameplay in a fun, colorful package.
