Stealth-heavy titles haven't really penetrated the iPhone and iPod Touch's overflowing stable of games. Even Metal Gear Solid Touch, a game from a series built on stealth-based gameplay, wasn't really all that sneaky.
Those looking for a stealth game they can really sink their teeth into should probably keep an eye out for Oniric Games' Silent Swords. It looks like a mix of classic sidescrolling action and all the sneakiness you can expect from a ninja trying to break out of a military facility.

Silent Swords is heavily laced with stealth aspects: hiding in shadows to take out enemies in one strike, avoiding lights to remain unseen, and using the environment for camouflage. here's a rundown of the game's features:
- True stealth action at your fingertips
- Avoid the lights and become invisible in the shadows
- Unique controls: shake to jump, tap repeatedly to control how fast you move
- Dispatch nearby enemies using gesture-driven sword attacks
- Swipe your finger to throw shurikens and knock down enemies before they notice you
- Use your environment for camouflage
- Be part of the game! Create your own level and share it with others at the Silent Swords Community Level website
