Retro review: League of Evil

Sergio Velasquez ∙ November 22, 2019

It's not very often that I run into a game that's not available on the App Store anymore. These Retro reviews are meant to look back at great games that gave us a fun time back in the day, so it's a bit sad when you find a game is not available. Especially if it's a great game like League of Evil was. While it's not available on the App Store, League of Evil is still available through Steam, so if you have a Mac or a PC you like to play games on, you can revisit this retro title on your computer instead.

League of Evil was one of the best-received games on the App Store when it first came out in 2011. Its huge success leed to getting 2 more sequels, which only improved what the game brought to the table. Now, the company behind the game, Ravenous Games, has moved on to work on a new title for PC called Deadtime Defenders.

Now it's our time to look back at one of the best games I've played on iPhone. Let's retro review League of Evil.
