    Just started a free trial of Apple Arcade, any suggestions? (My preferences below)

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:22 PM PST

    The game I've enjoyed most on my phone is Monument Valley (and its sequel), so the first thing I tried on Apple Arcade was Assemble With Care, from the same company. It was quite good, though it wasn't very long and stopped at the point where I was really enjoying the puzzles. What I think I like best in a game on my phone is: - A chill vibe and warm or pastel aesthetic that is cute or pretty. I like graphics that are stylised and simplified rather than ornately detailed. - A focus on puzzles and stories rather than on defeating opponents. - Timing and dexterity should not matter. I don't want a game that I lose if I get distracted for a moment or where I can run off the edge of a cliff and die. - The feeling that the game wants me to have a nice time. It's not "fiendish" or anything like that, it's not trying to defeat me. It wants to share something fun or beautiful. - It should not be possible to mess up any part of the game so much that I have to start again from the beginning. - A similar level of difficulty in the puzzles to the games I've mentioned above, because I am not any smarter than that. Suggestions?

    3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 42)

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 09:21 AM PST

    Happy Friday, my mobile gaming friends :)

    Today, in this long-lasting tradition of weekly summary posts featuring the most interesting mobile games I played this week, we'll be taking a look at an interesting Archero alternative, a racing game that mixes Track Mania and Jet Car Stunts 2, and lastly, a space- AND ninja-theme RPG with idle gameplay and perfectly fast-paced progression.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 42 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 games:

    Tales Rush! [Game Size: 154 MB] (free)

    Genre: Roguelike / Action / RPG / Archero-like - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Tales Rush is an "Archero"-like roguelike where we move a warrior through endless small dungeons filled with monsters, gathering gold and leveling up along the way. Whenever we reach a new level, we get to pick between 1 of 3 random upgrades, steadily increasing our overall strength as we go further and further.

    When we eventually die, we return home where we spend gold to buy small permanent stat boosts before we start all over again.

    The one-joystick controls are simple and well-calibrated, the random upgrades are interesting, and the monetization allows us to progress faster through iAPs but never feels forced on us.

    Overall, the game feels like an Archero 2.0, with multiple characters with unique weapons to unlock (sadly requires premium currency, either gained for free or through iAPs), more interesting combat, and near-endless content.

    Car Stunt Races: Mega Ramps [Game Size: 122 MB] (free)

    Genre: Racing / Stunts - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Car Stunt Races is a not-too-serious casual racing game that plays like a mix between the Track Mania PC-games and Jet Car Stunts 2, which means lots of ramps, loops, and flying vehicle chaos.

    With both "career" and "free" gameplay modes, no car upgrades (apart from cosmetics), no energy systems, and only a single in-game currency, the mix between gameplay and monetization is some of the best I've seen in a racing game on mobile.

    The controls are fine too, the graphics are decent, and while there are quite a few non-incentivized video ads, they can all be removed through a $2 iAP. My only complaint is that the cars aren't as fast I'd like them to be. I just want more air-time! ;)

    Ninja Prime: Tap Quest [Total Game Size: 72 MB] (free)

    Genre: Idle / RPG / Sci-fi - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Idle

    tl;dr review:

    Ninja Prime: Tap Quest is a ninja space-themed idle RPG (yes, you read that right - ninjas in space!) where we fight endless waves of alien scum. Same publisher as "Wizard's Wheel 2", which I covered a year ago.

    Every planet we land on is filled with aliens and multiple bosses. We attack these creatures automatically, and can trigger skills automatically at a slow pace, or manually to increase our Damage Per Second (DPS). Whenever we die, we restart the planet with a permanent strength increase automatically applied, and once we've defeated one of the planet's bosses, we don't have to defeat it again the next time.

    In addition to a Research Lab and Skill Upgrades, these systems mean progression in Ninja Prime is much more fast-paced than your average idle game, which I really like.

    Unlike most idle games, there are no ads in Ninja Prime, and while there are plenty of iAPs, none of them are necessary to progress and enjoy the game.

    Any games that have local multiplayer that you can connect multiple controllers to? (Switch tabletop style)

    What are some new, fun games that show off what the iPhone 11 can do?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 07:37 AM PST

    Hey y'all!

    I have an iPhone 11 coming in and will soon be powering down my iPhone 6 for the last time 😩

    I'm looking for some game suggestions that show off what the iPhone 11 can do. I'm open to any type of game, but thinking a RPG where you upgrade your gear (and is not pay to win) would be fun!

    Thanks

    Just finished Goblin Sword, need more games like this one!

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 02:31 PM PST

    Title says most of it. I just finished playing Goblin Sword and it is probably my favorite game I have played on the iPhone. I'm sad now after 100%ing it and need another game with as much care as that had put into it.

    Does anyone have any recommendations? It does not have to be a platformer, I just want a good game with good attention to detail and no IAPs.

    Thank you!

    Does anyone know what game I'm thinking of?!

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 06:33 AM PST

    So yeah, I played this game ages ago and I've always tried to find it again.

    Basically, it's a platformer where you have to get a cube across the platforms, which were a bit like podiums with different heights/distances. You pressed on the cube then dragged your finger to control the angle/height that you wanted the cube to be thrown. It sounds super simple because it is, but it had a beautiful minimalistic art style with a lot of Nordic style runes and shit. Some more details: it was a 2D side-scroller with set levels which got progressively more difficult.

    That's all I can remember, hoping someone can refresh my memory!

    Bought both Evoland and Evoland 2 today. Is it better to play one before the other, or does it really matter?

    Free Survival Management Games?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:20 PM PST

    Are there any good games where you manage a group of survivors or explorers or something like that? It needs to be free btw.

    Best beginner level board games?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 04:27 PM PST

    I'm looking for something to play on my free time. I was in love with card games, but the micro transactions are getting insane. Any decent board games that have little to no micro transactions? I've only really played catan.

    Farming Simulator 20: Keyboard won't go away

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:25 AM PST

    I got this for my 10 XS Max. When I play, the keyboard pops up and will not go away (and it takes up half the screen!). Has anyone experienced this? Anyway to fix it?

    Edit: Deleting the game and re-downloading it seems to have fixed this problem.

    Anyone else running Public Beta 13.3 on iPad having trouble connecting PS4 DualShock controllers?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:24 PM PST

    I think I've narrowed it down to a software issue, but I'm not exactly sure. The controller used to work fine, but now it connects for about a second and then disconnects. Bought a new DualShock thinking it was possibly a hardware issue, but it's doing the same thing.

    Just trying to see if anyone else is having a similar experience... thanks!
