Top 5 Android and iOS Apps of The Week: Zelda-Inspired Game, Delicious Recipes, and More

nextpit has been on the lookout for apps in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store to provide you with five great recommendations. This week, nextpit has three games, a recipe book, and a learning app just for you.

We have tried all the apps in this article, so don’t worry about the quality. If the apps recommended here are not exhaustive enough or you did not find something you want, we recommend you take a look at our free apps of the week. Here, you will find far more apps that usually cost money but are now free for a short time only!

Dice Dreams

Dice Dreams combines a game of chance with a city-building simulation. It may sound like an unusual combination at first, but the game’s principle is simple. You roll three dice with the hope of obtaining coins or other bonuses. Coins can be used to build your city, and you can upgrade each building up to four times. The other bonuses are made up of additional dice chances or attacks on other players’ cities.

If you were to attack an enemy city, you also have the opportunity to steal coins from them. Throughout the game, you can upgrade your kingdom to unlock unique bonuses. These include free coins, more dice options, and even new characters. Oh yes, the fluff-looking characters sure look funny!

The game is free to play. Sure, if you like, you can gain a boost using actual money via in-app purchases. However, the game is a lot of fun even without cash injections, and why deprive yourself of progress when you can enjoy everything in your own time?

Study with Subwords

Apps like Babbel or DuoLingo are probably the most famous ones out there if you want to learn new languages. Study with Subwords offers an alternative with numerous options to learn a wide variety of topics, such as the capital cities of US states. The capitals and corresponding states are displayed in a clear list before a question is asked. As soon as you are ready and give the go-ahead, the quiz begins.

In the case of federal states, you will be given the state and your task is to put together the correct capital from the available word snippets. Study with Subwords impresses with a huge range of different topics where you can test your knowledge. Whether big or small, we think the app is a nice way to pass time for everyone.

If you are hooked, you have the option of taking out a twelve-month or one-month subscription to gain full access to all content. It’s a shame that this app is only available in the Apple App Store.

You can also keep an eye on the nutritional values at all times. All in all, this a really great app to improve your cooking skills and expand your repertoire of dishes.

Archero

Archero is strongly reminiscent of Zelda. It is not a direct Zelda clone, but the main character seems to have gained plenty of inspiration from the diminutive Nintendo hero. In Archero, you control a small fighter with a bow and arrow and explore as many areas as possible. Along the way, you fight your way through masses of enemies.

The game is not as simple as it seems. While you have to keep moving to avoid enemy attacks, your hero is only able to use his bow and arrow when he is stationary. You don’t have to aim, as your brave warrior has insane auto-ai skills. After a few stages, you will receive help from angels who will either top up your life bar or give you attacking boosters.

Finally, you can use your achievements to improve your skills and customize your character. Archero is free to play, and while you can pay to progress faster, it is not necessary to do so.

Gold and Goblins: Idle Merger

The crowning glory of this week’s edition of the Top 5 Apps of the Week is Gold and Goblins: Idle Merger. In this game, you become real gold diggers. You dig your way through gold mines with the help of goblins. The more goblins you hire, the faster you can dig your way through the tunnels.

To speed up your progress, you can merge two level 1 goblins into one level 2 goblin. For each gold nugget, you will receive coins that you can use to increase the number of workers.

Once you have successfully emptied a mine, you can finish it by driving a fat excavator through a separate area. You only have a certain amount of time to clear as many gold chunks as possible. You then continue this process from mine to mine. However, you will need more patience as time progresses since the blocks will become larger, and more time is required for your goblins to finish mining the gold.

Which app did you find most interesting this week? Do you have any other app recommendations? We look forward to your feedback in the comments and wish you a sunny weekend!
