| 3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 73) Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:21 AM PST Happy Friday, my fellow mobile gamers, and welcome back to this weekly summary of the most interesting games I played this week :) This episode includes an interesting action RPG that plays a lot like Diablo, a very unique multiplayer strategy card game, and a PvP fighting game from a franchise that has been downloaded more than 500 million times! 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:Creatures of Aether [Game Size: 189 MB] (free)Genre: Card / Strategy / PvP / Indie - Requires Online Access Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Creatures of Aether is a unique strategy card game where our goal is to dominate the majority of a shared 4x4 gridded board by placing a creature card from our hand on each turn. Every card has a power number on each of its four sides. Placing a card next to an opponent's card allows us to take it over and turn it into one of ours if the power number on our card's side is higher than that on the opponent card's adjacent side. Once the board is full, the player with the most cards on the board wins. To spice things up, board tiles can have elemental types that buff or debuff any card placed on them, and some cards even have strong special powers that trigger once played. While the mechanics are easy to understand, the game is incredibly difficult to master, and I often found I had made a mistake a few turns ago that now put me in a disadvantageous situation, just like in chess. Decks consist of eight cards, with a total deck-cost limit and a value on each card that increases the more powerful it is. This adds a nice forced prioritization that prevents us from placing all the strongest cards in the same hand. The high-quality modern pixel art style is well-executed, and the sound design is pleasing. The main PvP mode is supported by multiple arcade modes and single-player dungeon-crawls that provide new cards or extra copies so existing cards can be leveled up. Creatures of Aether monetizes through a $4.99 battle pass and iAPs for card packs, which create a pay-to-progress-faster advantage for paying players. However, the core gameplay is both deep and fun, and free players can still enjoy the many game-modes and simply grind for cards. App Store: Here Raziel: Dungeon Arena [Total Game Size: 5.1 GB] (free)Genre: RPG / Action / Co-op / Diablo-like - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Raziel: Dungeon Arena is a fun Diablo-like action RPG with solo and co-op dungeons, an insane amount of unique loot, neat 3D graphics, cute pets, and well-calibrated controls. The game features 3 classes; archer, melee knight, ice priest, and although there is no character customization, we can at least switch build later in the game. As we level up, we unlock more and more skills and can gradually customize our build through one of the largest talent trees I've ever seen in a mobile game. From the main city, we can meet and chat with other players, craft potions, team up for co-op dungeons, or jump into the single-player missions to slay hordes of enemies and find new loot with unique stats and set bonuses. Raziel is a modern mobile game, for better or worse, which means lots of daily and monthly login rewards, achievements, events etc. My biggest gripes with the game, however, are that finding a team at lower levels is almost impossible and that while combat is fun, everything is too easy in the beginning. Monetization happens through a $4.99 battle pass, a premium currency used primarily for cosmetics, and various "packs" of crafting materials and potions that go up to $19.99. There is no need to spend money on the game to enjoy it though, and while paying players definitely have an advantage in PvP, the game is primarily PvE-focused. App Store: Here Shadow Fight Arena [Game Size: 1.2 GB] (free)Genre: Fightign / Action / PvP / High-quality - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Shadow Fight Arena is a visually impressive PvP-focused melee fighting game where we collect a team of three heroes and battle it out in real-time 1v1 multiplayer matches with one hero at a time. At the beginning of every match, both we and our opponent select which hero to start with. If our hero dies, we get to switch it out with one of the two remaining heroes. We keep going like this until we run out of heroes or have defeated the opponent's heroes. Each of the 16 total heroes have unique weapons, abilities, and stats that increase over time as they're leveled up. Sometimes, we even get to select between two different upgrades, allowing us to customize each hero. Using a hero with stats and abilities that optimally counters the opponent's hero is key to winning, and it makes combat fun and engaging. After every match, we progress in the Arena ladder and Battle Pass progression system, both of which provide gold and hero cards used to unlock new heroes and upgrade existing ones. The touch controls that include a left-side joystick and multiple attack and ability buttons on the right side are well-calibrated, and the punches and weapon attacks feel heavy and powerful. And with ranked, unranked, friendly matches, and AI game modes, there is plenty to dive into. Shadow Fight Arena monetizes through a $13.49 monthly Battle Pass and hero loot boxes that allow paying players to progress faster than free players. It is all around one of the most impressive fighting games on mobile, but just be aware that while everything can be grinded, the monetization might make it difficult to progress fast without buying the Battle Pass.

| Which IOS games have you played had great controls/movement? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:37 PM PST By movement I mean something like spiderman on the ps4. COD mobile has good movement, was hoping there was a singleplayer alternative to play on my downtime. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking for action games that can be played in short bursts, with good touch controls Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:35 AM PST To me, a good mobile game is one that is best played with touch controls and which can be played in short bursts on the go. Currently I'm playing Phoenix 2 and Mr. Autofire, they don't require much of my time when I pick them up and both have excellent touch controls. These games also have a very rewarding learning curve. I'm very much looking for the kind of game that gives you satisfaction from improving your skills rather than from collecting endless amounts of stuff. Hopefully you have some suggestions!

| “Collecting games” but not Gacha? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 08:13 PM PST What's the best game for this? I'm an action figure collector who misses the days when everything wasn't licensed in this hobby. I'd love to have heroes, mechs and such you can collect and customise, just like the days of walking into a toy store filled with Bionicles to pick and choose. I'd vastly prefer solo-focused with light/skippable story. Also no forced popup video ads and ridiculously P2W, the latter is ok to a certain extent. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 05:13 AM PST I'm looking for fun single player story games with controller support. I play on a iPad with a Xbox one controller. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Steamworld Quest: How does it save progress? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:23 AM PST I am really interested in this game but I am usually only play phone games for 5-10 min burst. Are you able to save anytime in this game? Or auto save often? Or do you have to reach a save point? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Any recommendation good indie games? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:03 AM PST | ||

| Bought full game on iPhone. Will full version go on iPad? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 05:45 AM PST I paid for a game on my iphone. I decided to cloud it onto my ipad using the same apple id. The game on the ipad is not showing as the paid version. Shouldn't it have been the paid version as well? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Redeeming game from a different country? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:44 AM PST Hey there guys! I was recently gifted a game that apparently is locked to US AppStore and I'm from EU. I tried changing country in AppStore to US, used random address and I get an error that "code redemption is currently unavailable". I tried VPN (TunnelBear) and connecting to US server, still same error. What can I do to be able to get this game redeemed. I really want to play it so much :'( [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:01 AM PST Looking for some fun platformers, have played Dead Cells, Apple Knight :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Anyone know some good open world multiplayer apps? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 02:06 PM PST Just looking for a chill open world game I can just mess around with when I'm sick or bored [link] [comments]  | ||
| Good free drifting/racing game for ios? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:10 AM PST Hi, I wanted to know about a free drifting game on ios that in your opinion is really good. [link] [comments]  | ||
| In regards to the new Titan Quest update. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:45 PM PST I own the last iteration that was updated with the possibility to buy the expansions. It's cheaper to just add the expansions to my original purchase. Before I put another 100 hours in, is there any advantage to buying the legendary edition that anyone knows of? As far as I can tell, all updates have hit the old version , but is there anything extra that can be gained with the legendary edition? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:49 AM PST I'm running an iPhone 11 Pro Max and wanted to play legend of Zelda for the nostalgia. I'm just hearing about emulation on iOS and wanted to know what's worked for reliability? I'm okay with one time payments as long as it runs reliably through Apple updates. The game boy emulation stuff I've seen seem simple enough but I see less info on N64. Also, would the 8bitdo controllers work? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Which game would you buy for a cross-country flight? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 03:12 PM PST | ||
| games like Iron marine, RTS sci-fi , star craft... Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:33 PM PST I really liked the iron marines, because besides being practically a copy of the star craft, having the same units and plot, it is also cartoonized, making it light, and it is friendly in its experience for mobile, because it looks like star craft, but it has a slightly different dynamic of keeping certain things fixed, to make it easier, since it is a cell phone screen and limited commands compared to a PC with keys and mouse. So I really liked the gameplay. looking like a mix of RTS and Tower defense, for having certain things fixed. I wanted to find similar games [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking for a game that can be played on and off for 5 minutes one handed. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 01:54 PM PST As a smoker I'm looking for a game I can play one handed (or at least without rotating the phone) that doesn't require more than 5 or so minutes of uninterrupted gameplay (I.e no multiplayer) Previously loved the Motorsport Manager series and Sudoku. Hoping this sub has some hidden gems to recommend [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 05:04 PM PST Hey all - I've been using this controller for a couple years but it's lack of L3/R3 is starting to get in the way. I've looked around for another controller like it, that has L3 and R3, and for some reason it seems like nothing exists? Having the controllers hold up the iPad is very important for bed gaming :) Does anyone use the Backbone One on their iPad? I don't think it's officially supported but I feel like it might fit? Appreciate ya in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||
