Okay but really, why are they all boring 3D fighters that have barely changed since the PS2 era?

I'm a huge fan of freemium games. Free mobile games with ADs that you can one time purchase an ad free option.

Unfortunately there are MANY games that piecemeal the permanent upgrades instead of a one time price package.

Gold and Goblins has a $10 unlock that includes double coins and ZERO ADs.

Idle Cave Miner has a $5 unlock to turn off ALL ADs with other premium (but totally not required) upgrades.

Where other games like Tomagachi has a $2 unlock to turn off mandatory ADs but still has optional ADs in other areas. They even have a $5/month subscription to get a better play experience...

I'm happy to throw down $5-$20 on a game to get rid of all the AD infested crap and make it an enjoyable experience.
