The best sales on the App Store this week

The App Store has quite an exciting lineup of discount games this week that range across a variety of genres. It's a great opportunity to catch up on some of the premium games you may have been holding off on -- and some you can even grab for free. Here are the best deals happening right now.

Bringing Monster Hunter's massive battles to mobile was a tall order, but Monster Hunter Freedom Unite made the switch with aplomb. It promises the same epic grind of classic Monster Hunter titles, but manages to break it up into digestible little chunks befitting the mobile platform. If you like collecting epic gear or fighting hulking monsters, you definitely don't want to pass this one up, especially as it's now over 50% off.



An excellent exercise in design, Mini Metro is also a delightful public transit sim turned puzzle game. You'll build up an ever expanding subway network based on a collection of real city maps. The game's currently $2.99 - just over 40% off.

The beloved puzzle platformer made its way to mobile a few years ago, but it's still a joy to play. You can grab it right now for just $.99 if you want to relive it all. If you haven't played it before, Munch's Odyssee is a bizarre adventure game featuring funny, memorable characters and well-designed, entertaining puzzles.

Deus Ex GO is just $.99 at the moment, making it an ideal time to give this mobile version of the popular stealth RPG series a try. The Deus Ex universe translates well to the game's bite sized puzzles. It's a great way to get some Deus Ex in while on the move.

The free app of the week this go around is Nightgate, a minimalist, abstract space puzzler. The game features over 50 levels in which you activate nodes to move forward while also dodging a series of dangerous obstacles.
