Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings

The touch-screen controls actually make managing your airship fleet feel intuitive, and the story picks up nicely after the first few hours. I'm glad Square made an entry-level RPG that doesn't talk down to you.

The Gambit system lets you set your party's AI logic, which takes the edge off the harder battles without dumbing down the strategy. I've spent hours tweaking my deck and the touch-screen controls feel natural for a handheld RPG.

It's a surprisingly gentle entry point into strategy RPGs, and the touch-screen controls for directing your squad feel natural after the first hour. I was expecting more of a challenge, but the story kept me hooked even when the battles were forgiving.
