We're heading towards the end of the year, which can only mean it's time to start thinking about what games we're going to remember from the last 12 months. And we're going to break it down into a series of top 5s, one for each month. We're starting with January 2018, because it'd be weird to start anywhere else really.

We'll be doing the other months in due time, but since January was the start of the year, that's where we're going to begin. We've included download links for you, as well as links to our reviews where applicable. So you're not just going to be able to purchase the games from this page, you're going to be able to make an informed purchase, which is even better.

If you think we've missed any games that came out in January, then do let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the article. And make sure you keep checking back to 148Apps regularly so you're not missing out on our recap of the last 12 months in mobile gaming.

So far, 2018 has been a pretty great year for mobile gaming. And, depending on how you look at things, you could say it's been the best year for shooters since the App Store first popped into existence. A lot of the plaudits for that have to go to one place - Shadowgun Legends.

It might not be the most original game in the world, but it took an idea, made it work in the palm of your hand, and then ran with it. It's a gorgeous-looking, slick-playing blast that's still thriving even now. So we thought it was high time to have another look at Madfinger's glorious sci-fi experience, and explain why it worked so well.
