If you are looking for a fun game without paying a dime, look no further than Battleloot Adventure. The modern quest game with turn-based action scenes is dropping from 99 cents to $0 for the next 36-hours. The promotion is in conjunction with the myAppFree service, which makes deals with developers to temporarily drop the price of an app or game in an effort to gain visibility in the Store.
Battleloot Adventure "blends comedy, turn-based combat and role-playing for a whimsical adventure like no other!" but what I like about it is the endearing artwork, which has a hand drawn like charm.
Battleloot starts off with a mini play to explain the story (no worries as you can skip the short cutscene), which places city against city in an attempt to win favor of the ruthless king. As a result, you go on quests with battles to achieve various goals set by the game. Battleloot Adventure is a combo RPG game but with a modern twist for smartphones. From the game description:
