Top Down and Turn Based: Questing for Glory on the iPad [iOS]
Epic adventures. Loot. Hordes of kobolds and even the occasional owlbear. If those mean something to you, then we're kindred spirits. I understand what it is you seek friend, and I offer thee temporary shelter in the MakeUseOf Inn. Tell tales of fair-haired maidens as you order your poison of choice, and let me admire your war-battered full plate armour +1. Remind me about the time you took an arrow to the knee as we check out these three iPad adventure board games.
