    3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 64)

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:48 AM PST

    Welcome, fellow mobile gamers, to my weekly roundup of the most interesting games I lay this week. This time, with a focus on puzzle and idle games :)

    To quickly sum it up, I've got a high-quality match-3 game set in the Harry Potter universe that positively surprised me because of its Club system, a fun mix of a Tower Defense game and an Idle game with lots of incremental progression, and a more traditional idle RPG with a cute art-style!

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 64 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:

    Idle Monster TD [Game Size: 114 MB] (free)

    Genre: Tower Defense / RPG / Idle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Idle

    tl;dr review:

    Idle Monster TD mixes elements of Tower Defense, RPG, and idle games for a unique gameplay experience with an insane level of min-maxing and endless progression.

    At its core, Idle Monster TD is a Tower Defense game, which means we unlock powerful monsters and place them as towers on a map so that they can defeat endless waves of enemies. As we progress, we start upgrading these monsters in a ton of different ways, including leveling them up and getting duplicates of each monster from monster packs that we buy using a currency earned through gameplay. The idle gameplay means our towers continue fighting when the game is closed, which leaves a big bag of currency waiting for us when we open the game again.

    With multiple targeting options and settings for each monster, there's a lot that can be min-maxed in this game. Not to mention all the technology trees, relics, and artifacts that also make us stronger in various ways. These systems add a lot of depth to the game, which creates a perfect gameplay experience for those who enjoy this type of progression.

    Idle Monster TD monetizes through incentivized ads and lots of iAPs for convenience upgrades. Fortunately, the daily missions and achievements provide lots of premium currency, which can be used to acquire some of the convenience upgrades without spending real-life money. The monetization is typical for idle games, and I didn't find the need to ever buy anything as a free player.

    Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells [Game Size: 483 MB] (free)

    Genre: Match-3 / Puzzle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells is a high-quality social-focused match-3 game where we play through a campaign of levels that takes us from the first to the last Harry Potter movie.

    The core match-3 gameplay experience is spiced up with magic spells, characters, and music straight out of the Harry Potter universe, which creates an immersive experience for fans of the franchise. Between levels, we unlock and level up spells that can be used in some levels, and even acquire pets with unique abilities and power-ups.

    The game's most unique feature is the Club meta-game system. Together with 29 other wizards, we compete against 19 clubs in a weekly league to earn the most club points by completing levels and events. By the end of every week, the 5 Clubs with the most points advance to the next tier, which unlocks new advantages for all club members. This system creates a great incentive to continue playing, and the Club chat adds nice social and teamwork elements to the game.

    Although it is also earned through normal gameplay, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells monetizes by selling additional gold through iAPs. Gold is used to buy single-use power-ups and additional lives. With a total of 5 lives, our play-session length is somewhat limited, but since we can store 15 lives provided by other club members in an inbox, it takes a while to run out of all lives.

    Overall, this is the most engaging match-3 game I have played, and if you're a Harry Potter fan, it's worth checking out if you don't mind playing it in bursts of 10-15 minutes.

    Masketeers : Idle Has Fallen [Total Game Size: 413 MB] (free)

    Genre: Idle / RPG - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Idle

    tl;dr review:

    Masketeers is an idle RPG where we build a team of 4 mask-wearing heroes who fight endless waves of enemies and bosses while we gradually improve their stats.

    Like most idle games, there are a ton of ways to grow stronger in Masketeers, including character leveling, runes, pets, relics, equipping better masks, and lots more. As we progress, we unlock additional heroes, and each time we reset to be able to progress faster, we get to pick which four heroes we want to use until the next reset.

    The game's most unique feature is that we trigger abilities for each hero by tapping the hero orbs that line up in two rows at the bottom of the screen. There is room for 13 orbs in total, and if multiple of the same orb type stand next to each other, they'll link together to deal more damage once tapped.

    Incentivized ads allow us to progress faster, although their rewards aren't so big that I felt forced to watch them. There is also a monthly $6.99 subscription for various advantages and iAPs for premium currency used to buy new masks, runes, and pets. The game is entirely singleplayer, so none of the iAPs are ever needed.

    While Masketeers is a decent idle RPG, nothing truly sets it apart from the rest in any meaningful way. If you enjoy the genre, you will likely have a great time playing Masketeers too.

    How to Play Games on Nvidia GeForce Now Using iPhone and iPad.

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 04:49 AM PST

    Do people play mobile games because they can’t afford a pc or because they just want a super simple game?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 08:53 AM PST

    I like games that have a formula where it has skill and progression but in most of the games I see it's just skill and no progression outside of skins. Even then it usually has about no content and has a skill ceiling so low even the neighbors cat could play it from the other side of the street.

    Which UI looks best for my houseplant mobile game? :)

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 10:32 PM PST

    Do you any games that are like Happy Street? The developers seem to have forgotten about it and I want another game that is similar to it if you know any. Thanks!!!

    Posted: 20 Nov 2020 07:09 AM PST

    Any RPGs with constant content updates and strong communities?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 07:35 PM PST

    Not looking for gacha games or Genshin impact. Already tried RuneScape. I'm Thinking about developer-supported RPGs where you feel like you're a part of something. Nice updates and frequent new content ? Anything like that ?

    Couldn’t find any mention of this, so apologies if this is a repeat. But just played some of Okhlos: Sigma and it’s good, frantic fun.

    Favorite idle game?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 12:03 PM PST

    Looking for a good game to play at my desk at work.

    My absolute favorite ever was tap titans 2 and after that probably the soda dungeon games. I played both for a significant amount of time and really enjoyed them. Since then I've struggled to find any others I really held onto for more than a week or two.

    Some I've tried are afk arena, Ulala, crush em all, and idle monster tower defense. None really pulled me in too much. Ulala and crush me all were just overly complex for me. Way to many menus to click through and figure out what I was doing.

    I'm also currently playing idle slayer and enjoying it quite a bit.

    If you have any suggestions for awesome idle games you enjoy and really played for a long time I'd love to hear them!

    Backbone One Back/Select Button

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:59 PM PST

    Anyone else having issues with the Backbone One back/select button? When I hold it down it only registers as a click and there's also a noticeable delay between when the iPhone registers the button pressed and when I press it. Every other button works perfectly. Is this a weird quirk of the device or is my controller defective?

    Still Xbox series X controller support

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 06:23 PM PST

    I installed IOS 14.3 in the hopes that it would fix the issue I have where my new Xbox series X controller does not seem to work with any of my games. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? Or at least have a time frame of when the controller would work with IOS games?
