All of these games are available for free, so make sure you get them from the proper app markets and not download a compromised copy that might contain malware. There might be the option to buy in-game goods here and there but that’s pretty common and doesn’t really bother. If you want to speed up your leveling or get some fancy items, sure go pay a dollar for them but keep track of your spendings. Don’t forget: It’s all fun and games.
