| 3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 72) Posted: 29 Jan 2021 04:10 AM PST Friday means mobile game recommendations, so as tradition has it, here are my weekly suggestions of the week :) This episode includes a very unique cyperpunk-themed arcade game, a cute new adventure platformer, and a story-driven MMORPG with a JRPG combat system! Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 72 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:Dadish 2 [Game Size: 110 MB] (free)Genre: Platformer / Adventure / Indie / Humoristic - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Dadish 2 is a humoristic platform adventure game about a radish dad on a mission to save his radish kids who got scattered across the game's 50 levels after they got lost on their way to a "bring your kids to work" day. Using the left-side of the screen to walk in either direction and the right-side to jump, we make our way through obstacles, traps, and bosses, to get to our kid at the end of the level, while trying to collect each level's hidden star. In many ways, Dadish 2 is the essence of a good indie platformer experience, with fun characters, pleasing pixel-art, controller support, secrets to discover, and challenging level designs. Dadish 2 monetizes through ads shown between deaths, with a single $2.99 iAP to remove the ads. App Store: Here Hyperforma [Total Game Size: 429 MB] ($4.99)Genre: Arcade / Puzzle / Sci-Fi - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Hyperforma is a cyberpunk-themed one-of-a-kind arcade puzzle game, both in terms of gameplay, visual style, and its mysterious story that we unravel by playing through the game's seven chapters. Our objective is to hack an ancient computer network in cyberspace by attacking its core with our character. The core is surrounded by a 3-dimensional shell of blocks that we must first break. To do so, we rotate the shell of blocks to find weak spots and then tap the screen to launch our character towards the block. Depending on how quickly we solve the level and how many blocks we destroy, we can receive up to three keys used to unlock new levels. The futuristic sci-fi backgrounds, colorful ambient, and visual effects look stellar, and the music and sound effects create a truly immersive atmosphere. Although we unlock new skills as we progress, such as the ability to clone ourselves, the core gameplay never changes, which makes it slightly repetitive. Thankfully, the intriguing story and interesting universe help make up for that. Hyperforma is a $4.99 premium game with no ads or iAPs. App Store: Here Magatsu Wahrheit [Game Size: 3.8 GB] (free)Genre: JRPG / MMO / 3D / Gacha / Semi-open World - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: (The game may unfortunately soon close!) Magatsu Wahrheit is a high-quality JRPG with MMO gameplay elements, a 3D semi-open world, and an interesting combination of gameplay mechanics for fans of story-based single- and multiplayer RPGs. From within the game's main city, we can freely visit various NPCs to buy or upgrade our equipment, or launch directly into quests and missions, either alone or with a party of other players. The world is fully 3D, but once we enter combat, we're loaded into a combat scene where we can't move our character and simply trigger abilities to attack the enemies or buff and heal our party. The slow-paced combat can at times feel somewhat dull, but the many events, the interesting world exploration, and the deep character customization through gear and a skill-tree help make up for that. Although the English translation isn't perfect, the game's lengthy and in-depth story has an almost visual-novel feel to it. It's an interesting and well-written story, but if you don't care for it, the long cut-scenes might end up frustrating you. Magatsu Wahrheit monetizes through a premium currency gacha mechanic for equipment and weapons. Although the game is somewhat generous with providing free premium currency, more can be bought through iAPs. Magatsu is a somewhat grindy game, but there's no strict need to spend money on the iAPs to enjoy the game.

| Renaming controllers in Bluetooth settings can re-label and even remap buttons in certain games. Posted: 28 Jan 2021 04:48 PM PST I have an 8bitdo SN30Pro (which I sing the praises of every chance I get around here) but I just found a neat little trick. If you're not familiar, this controller is designed primarily for Nintendo Switch functionality, it has the home and screenshot buttons but also the classic SNES face button layout: B is bottom center and A is rightmost. For the most part, when I use it to play games on iOS I have no issues translating between the SNES and mfi/Xbox button layouts in my head. The thing that I have been having trouble with is when some games use PS style button icons. I know where X is, but thats about it. I never really thought about it until recently, but when you pair this controller with iOS (using either MacOS mode or Xinput mode) it shows up under bluetooth settings as
I actually ran into this a while back when I learned you could rename bluetooth devices in iOS 14. I tried naming the controller what it was for a little while:
Then I discovered that the controller was no longer recognized in DeadCells. Took me a bit to realize DeadCells was looking at and cared about the name of the controller you were using. You may already see where this is going but it took me a while for this lightbulb to go off. I did a quick web search to try and figure out what a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller identifies as when connected to bluetooth on a PC and came up with simply:
It didn't work right away, but after disconnecting and reconnecting the device and restarting a few games I started to see the effects: Dead Cells went from PS button labels to button position icons, which is a huge improvement for me. https://i.imgur.com/rMrmyzy.jpg Dandara not only switched to the SNES face labels but it also remapped the controls so that A the button on the far right is the primary action button as opposed to the button in the bottom center (X on PS and A on mfi) https://i.imgur.com/5YWusoe.jpg I've tried this on all of the games I have with controller support and so far these are the only two that do this. I think its safe to say this behavior can be expected on games that are also available on Switch. Let me know what else you find out. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 04:42 AM PST Looking for something similar to the likes of Supreme Commander or Command & Conquer. I remember playing them as a kid and would love to have them on mobile. Currently downloading Radio Commander just to see what it's like. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Has anyone spent much time with Steamworld Quest? Would appreciate some insight before dropping £10 Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:18 AM PST Huge, huge Steamworld Heist fan, would love to know if this is worth exploring.... [link] [comments]  | ||
| Any way to block ads while staying connected to wifi? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 02:12 AM PST There's lots of small games that are fun to pass time with but they start an ad pretty much after ever short level. They're still playable when you disconnect from the internet but I don't want that. I know I can turn off mobile connection of them but if I'm connected to wifi I still get ads. Ps: If the game is worthy I try to support the devs with ads but I don't support these ad bloated games no matter if they are fun or not. If a game forces ads I feel bad supporting it.

| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 09:00 PM PST Looking for a game with lots of replay value/(hours in general), similar to something like Stardew Valley, Bloons TD, Clash of Clans. These games all are similar in that you can always grind, leave, come back, grind, play a little bit, leave and repeat. Any suggestions? Price isn't much of a problem to me, although I prefer anything under $10 [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 06:06 PM PST I've spent far too much time playing this game on my phone. I don't usually like to spend a ton of money on technology, but you can't catch covid while playing video games with your cat, so I'm looking to invest in an iPad. What model would you recommend? Any input would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Games worth 100% of the cash you spent? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 11:01 PM PST Mine was Monster Hunter Stories at current price. It's exactly the 3DS game ported to mobile. Which ones were yours? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 05:37 PM PST Aside from Kingdom Rush which I love. Anyone recommend a good tower defense game? I liked Fieldrunners 2 but prefer the whole high fantasy vibe of kingdom rush.. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 02:16 AM PST Do you know any great games where you decide the pace, the way of playing and with focus on personalization? I've found a little sandbox world building game and there's a farming game which allows you to plan and decorate your own farm. Those were some of my favorite games but I can't find anything like it anymore. Most games I find don't allow any personalization with their progress. I'd prefer free games but am willing to pay for them as well if it's worth it. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to turn on multiple key input in switch controls Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:41 AM PST I've been wanting to play some games on my phone with a keyboard so I have to manually map out the keys for the games. Now, I've been doing this with the switch control feature but my main problem with that is how you can't press two keys at once, so is there anyway to do that? Or are there at least any apps I can use to map out the keys on my keyboard? (Ex. Shooting plus v3 but according to the reviews that app doesn't work on the latest update) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 10:58 AM PST Suggestions for iPad apps that have an RPG element? I'm thinking of something between fallout 4 and the old paper Mario games lol....is this wishful thinking? [link] [comments]  | ||
| I’m looking for mobile iOS MMORPGs that have a built-in voice chat. Posted: 28 Jan 2021 05:54 PM PST I've already tried First Person Shooter games like PUBG and COD. I was wondering if there are Role Playing Games with built-in voice chat. I'm talking about games that are like Adventure Quest Worlds wherein you get to choose a class to play as. Thank you! I would like to be able to play with my friends and team up as different classes then go on adventures. [link] [comments]  |
