    4 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 16)

    Posted: 03 May 2019 05:11 AM PDT

    Heyo, mobile gaming friends - and welcome back to my weekly tl;dr roundup of the 4 most interesting games I played last week (yes, 4 from now on and for a while - more info in a comment below) :).

    This week, the games include an amazing award-winning puzzle game, a new Clash Royale-like Strategy RPG game set in the Disney universe, a casual fishing simulation indie game, and a new polished strategy game not unlike King of Thieves by Zeptolab!

    Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 16 weeks ago here.

    The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.

    Let's get to the 5 games:

    Tiny Bubbles [Game Size: 210 MB] ($4)

    Genre: Puzzle / Casual – Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Tiny Bubbles is a 170-puzzles-large...well, puzzle game. The art style is simplistic but polished, the gameplay is, for the most part, relaxing with no countdown timers of impending death threats, and for the completionists out there, there's a ton of achievements.

    While each level feels unique and different, with new puzzle elements added throughout the game, the core objective is always the same; pop up all bubbles by connecting 4 bubbles of the same color.

    The simple premise of the game makes it easy to get into, and the many ways of achieving that overall objective makes it a thrill to play. 70% of the levels are free on Android, with the rest unlocking for the same $4 up-front premium price of the game's iOS version.

    Disney Sorcerer's Arena [Game Size: 829 MB] (free)

    Genre: Strategy / RPG / Card - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review: [NOT GLOBALLY RELEASED]

    Disney Sorcerer's Arena is an upcoming still-in-beta strategy game that mixes Clash Royale-like gameplay with RPG progression and hero-based unlocking systems.

    We take a team of 3 Disney heroes into battle, who automatically start attacking the opponents with normal attacks. Meanwhile, we draw 4 special ability cards at a time, each with a mana cost, which we deploy to deal additional damage, heal our team etc.

    The game has lots of content, like campaign missions, a real-time PvP arena, a Tower of Endurance, daily quests, guilds, and more, but an energy system sadly limits our time with the singleplayer content. The only redeeming factor here is that winning PvP matches provides us with a currency used to buy more energy.

    Heroes are unlocked throughout the game, but additional new hero packs are strictly sold for premium currency, which gives paying users a pay-to-progress faster advantage. While this is frustrating, the core gameplay is fun, and in comparison to the other Disney games on mobile, this is shaping up to be one of the better ones - as long as Glu doesn't ruin the game through monetization!

    Desert Island Fishing [Total Game Size: 81 MB] (free)

    Genre: Fishing / Casual / Simulation / Indie / 8-bit – Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Desert Island Fishing is the Tinder of fishing games. Yes, literally. We throw out our line, get matched with 3 random fish, and proceed to swipe left or right to either reject or catch the fish.

    This indie pixel-style fishing game has us progress through no less than 7 different islands, completing missions by catching specific fish using various bait, hooks, and fishing rods that we pay to unlock using the gold we get from selling the fish we catch.

    The grind for more gold and the limited inventory space, which can be expanded through iAPs, is a slight frustration, but as a casual fishing game to play while watching a series or listening to a podcast, the game ticks many of the right boxes for a solid indie mobile game.

    The Night Park [Total Game Size: 207 MB] (free)

    Genre: Strategy - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    The Night Park, much like Zeptolab's King of Thieves, has us design a map by strategically placing traps and guards to defend our artifact from other players who will attempt to steal the artifact by getting three thief creatures from one side of the map to the other without being noticed by our guards.

    The "Arena" has us defeat other players' maps in a league system reminiscent of that found in Clash Arena Turbo Stars; reach the top 5 before the league resets to proceed to the next league, or get enough wins to continue instantly.

    As we progress, we unlock new attack and defense creatures, each with a unique ability we use strategically when trying to get through opponents' maps.

    The graphics are clean and polished and the game is fun, but paying users certainly have a pay-to-progress faster advantage.

    What games do you consider the best on ios even better than the computer platforms .

    Posted: 03 May 2019 05:58 AM PDT

    Looking for a good Third Person Shooter RPG. Ideally where you can main shotguns, and buy persistent upgrades. Bonus points if it involves Zombies!

    Posted: 03 May 2019 06:56 AM PDT

    I'm in the mood for blasting a load of things with shotguns and getting awarded EXP/money for it which I can use to buy upgrades to blast more things with bigger/better shotguns!

    Paid apps ideally. Nothing with micro transactions/timers etc.

    What MOBA should I play?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 01:22 AM PDT

    Ian a Vainglory player myself and I personally think it's dying a bit and it's getting a bit bored for me (I play since start).

    I don't wanna touch mobile Legends so I were thinking about Arena of Valor or Om..... arena (I forgot the name) which one has the most active player base in Europe west?

    Any good RTS similar to Command & Conquer RA3?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 06:21 PM PDT

    Looking for a game that can give me that epic feeling of building up a base, a large army, and waging a large scale battle against either a person or even AI. Dont really like those turn based games like civ though.

    Thanks

    Games like block fortress??

    Posted: 03 May 2019 07:26 AM PDT

    Are there any other games like Lifeline and Another Lost Phone?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 06:41 PM PDT

    I'm a big fan of the Lifeline series, but I have finished playing all of them and it made me become a fan of Lifeline type games.

    This got me on the hunt for more text messaging games, I had found both the Another Lost Phone games. I played both of them and they were great. Not great enough to top the Lifeline series though, but still enjoyed the experience of it.

    I also found Sara Is Missing and SIMULACRA as well and they were both scary! Loved them both! I'd say they were just as good as the Lifeline games!

    So I was wondering whether if there were any other games like these that is a text messaging game with an immersive story that is based on real-time.

    Games for iPad Pro with beautiful scenery?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 04:48 PM PDT

    Since it doesn't look like I'll be seeing Journey on iPad any year soon, am wondering if there's anything else that features beautiful scenery and contemplative play style?

    Do have Flower, by the way, but you can only play that so many times in a row... :-)

    Looking for a puzzle game to play after having played FROST

    Posted: 03 May 2019 12:07 AM PDT

    I have just finished playing FROST (on iPad) and it was great fun. Thank you to those who recommended it to me in a previous thread.

    Going through the App Store puzzle games I came across one called Devils Attorney. The reviews about it that I've seen are not too bad. Has anyone here actually played it and what do you think about it?

    what game has the best real time combat?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 06:31 PM PDT

    by best i mean good to play but also was created with touch screens in mind, so not just virtual joysticks with a billion buttons of screen. some intuitive and unique stuff.

    multiplayer would be cool, but singleplayer is cool too.

    Recommendations for 15 to 25 minute pickup game with progression?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 09:32 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    My Summer job has me moving roughly 15 to 25 minutes in the back of a truck from site to site, during that time, Im looking to find a game that I can pick up and play a little bit of, and rewards some sort of progression over time. The only thing I wouldn't be into is puzzle games or stardew valley. But anything else is fair game!

    Hoping to get some recommendations for a game like this! Im good with free or paid.

    Game similar to Evertale?

    Posted: 02 May 2019 12:39 PM PDT

    Started playing evertale recently and its pretty solid, my only problem is that there is way too much talking/story. I find myself spending most of the time talking, even though i skip most of the conversations. But i like everything else about the game, the battles, catching monsters, leveling, evolving, etc etc. Is there anything similar you think i might enjoy more?
