Touch Arcade: There's a reason MMORPG players use the term "trash" to describe the stuff that leads up to raid bosses: it's missing all the great rewards, and it's almost always lame. It's junk, in other words, junk that pads the time between the good parts. Red Zebra Games clearly knows the score, because Raid Leader [99¢] skips right past the trash to bring us nothing but the good stuff—intense, white-knuckled battles.
"Raid Leader is a intense RTS with epic boss battles that we’ve all been yearning to play. Overall, is is a pleasant game, however during the battles it gets a bit repetitive based on how the enemies attack. The gameplay resembles Battle Heart, but I felt there was a large portion missing: the hook. During the battles in Raid Leader, every stage is a boss level." - Thomas Wang
You’re on a train home, eagerly waiting until you can sit down and play through hours of your favourite MMO or RPG. Your legs begin to shake, your hands start to twitch – all you can do is attempt to plan out attacks in your head. That is, until you reach down to your pocket and realize that you’ve recently purchased the latest iOS game from Crescent Moon Games and Red Zebra Games – Raid Leader.
Pocket Gamer - It's rare to see a game that's made entirely of boss battles. But in smartphone games it makes a lot of sense. No preamble, no carefully managed expectations - just a series of short, impressive fights.
That's the angle Raid Leader is aiming for, and it pulls it off well. A clever, diluted mix of RPG and RTS, it offers a parade of increasingly tough fights as you strive to liberate a fantasy kingdom.
