Every week, Pocket Gamer sister site Quality Index (Qi) highlights the newest games to make a critical splash in the cool, seductive waters of the iOS pool.
Grabbing scores and opinions from all corners of the web, including from 148Apps, AppGamer, and Gamezebo, Qi answers all your iPhone-related questions before you've even asked them.
Today, we're going to focus on two new contenders vying to be crowned king of your iPhone. Both are worthy, but do they have what it takes to win your head, your heart, and your wallet?
Dead to rights
Breathing new life into the groaning corpse of the zombie shooter genre with an impressive 8.4 Qi rating comes Extraction: Project Outbreak, which draws its inspiration from top-down mouse-driven classics like Cannon Fodder and Syndicate.
Cast as a private military contractor, you have to to wipe out the growing hordes of undead soldiers that populate the exclusion zone.
As you blast your way though the story-driven campaign, you will unlock a devastating arsenal of military weapons, allowing you to annihilate your festering foes in an increasingly impressive hail of hot lead.
The fun really starts when you push deeper into the game: later additions like combat drones and helicopters make combat enjoyably versatile and disgustingly visceral in equal measure.
Rules of attraction
Generating a powerful current of positively charged feedback upon its release, meanwhile, is Act of Fury: Kraine's Revenge, Forge Reply's magnetic take on the bullet-hell shooter genre.
Kraine is a lab experiment with a grudge, who has decided to use his new-found electromagnetic superpowers to exact brutal revenge on the men who created him.
Act of Fury: Kaine's Revenge features a variety of environments, offers up a shocking selection of elemental upgrades, and delivers nine levels of unique touchscreen action to keep you raging though the night.
With 148Apps marking Act of Fury: Kraine's Revenge with a "severe fun warning", this is one environmental disaster that will actually increase your quality of life.
