Notes

The mobile game called Dungeon Keeper has been kept from this list as it has been removed from the mobile app stores and is not available anymore. It was a freemium tower-defense game. Even if it was still available it would not be playable anymore because it relied on the servers of EA and those have been shut down as well.
