TouchGen: You can’t wander too far through the App store without stumbling over a clone. Quite a few games claim to pay homage to their sources of inspiration, but many use this as an excuse to outright steal from other games. Dragon Quest: Monsters is a game that has been accused of being a Pokemon clone. At the time of its release, DQM did just enough right and added just enough to the Pokemon formula to stand out. I quite enjoyed DQM, and my opinions on Dragon Island are almost unavoidably similar.
