    Dear mobile MMO developers,

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 01:47 AM PST

    Please STOP forcing auto-play onto everyone. If I wanted to watch someone else play a game, I'd log on to YouTube or twitch. Auto-play ruins gaming. At least make it optional. With some of these MMO's (Looking at you, World of Kings), it's mandatory in order to get to quest locations and it's annoying. Why would I want to play a game that plays itself and I just watch? What's the point of that? That's what watching twitch steamers are for. When I enter a game, I want to actually play it myself, not watch the character play it for me.

    3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 76)

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 03:48 AM PST

    Welcome back, my fellow mobile gamers! :) I'm proud to present another episode of my weekly roundup of the most interesting games I played this week. Hope you'll enjoy.

    This episode includes one of the absolute best 2D fighting games I've ever played, a toony idle incremental RPG, and a retro-inspired action and management boxing game.

    In case you missed it: My recent post about the most highly anticipated mobile games of 2021: https://www.reddit.com/r/iosgaming/comments/lqiosi/these_are_the_12_most_highly_anticipated_upcoming/

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 76 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:

    Skullgirls [Game Size: 1 GB] (free)

    Genre: Fighting / Action / 2D - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Skullgirls is an incredibly well-made 2D fighting game, and a spin-off of the popular PC and console game by the same name.

    Through the level-based story mode, we start fighting using our two first fighters, while gradually unlocking more fighters and special skills by opening "Relics" rewarded through gameplay. Combat is fast-paced and relies on taps and swipe-controls to trigger various attack skills unique to each fighter. To spice things up, we can even switch between fighters during combat to activate special abilities.

    Each fighter can be customized through a skill tree and leveled up faster than through combat by sacrificing other fighters. Over time, we unlock additional game-modes, including a competitive real-time PvP mode where both players start with the same fighters, skills, and levels to make the matches completely fair.

    From its polished and wacky art-style to the humorous universe and original characters, everything about Skullgirls oozes with quality. Combined with the unique and over-the-top animations, this is what truly sets the game apart from other mobile fighters.

    Skullgirls monetizes through iAPs and a premium currency used to instantly unlock fighters and new skills through the Relics gacha mechanic. Thanks to the competitive PvP mode, both PvE and PvP can easily be played and enjoyed without spending any money, however. The only limiting factor is that each individual fighter has an energy bar that takes one hour to replenish once depleted. However, since we have plenty of fighters, there is always another one to switch to.

    Prizefighters 2 [Total Game Size: 81 MB] (free)

    Genre: Boxing / Sports / Simulation / Management / Indie / Pixel - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Prizefighters 2 is a retro-inspired action and management boxing game where we train and fight our way to the top of the ranks in the career and promoter game modes.

    In the career mode, after initially customizing our new boxer, we start fighting opponents in 3-minute matches to earn gold and progress in our career. During the in-game weeks where we are not fighting, we spend gold on exercising to train stats or recover energy, health, and stamina. We continue like this until we find our next challenger. Eventually, our boxer retires from old age, and we can start a new career with a different character.

    Unlike the career game-mode, the promoter mode lets us fully customize and control the league, including booking fights for each boxer. While the game is fun as a casual experience, there is a lot to dive into for those looking for a long-term gameplay experience as well.

    The customizable controls work well, making it easy to land jabs and punches or dodge incoming attacks. Specific combinations of moves even deal extra damage, and we unlock new skills and abilities over time.

    Prizefighters 2 is free and without ads. A $2.99 iAP unlocks the full premium version of the game, which includes the promoter game-mode, more customization options for leagues, and a feature that lets us import/export leagues and fighters created by other players.

    Hero Factory [Game Size: 440 MB] (free)

    Genre: Idle / Incremental / RPG - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Little (idle)

    tl;dr review:

    Hero Factory is a toony idle incremental game where we build factory assembly lines that continuously produce heroes to defeat endless waves of enemies and raid bosses.

    All heroes automatically fight enemies, but to deal with the increasingly more powerful monsters, we need to also grow stronger by upgrading each hero's assembly line and unlocking or upgrading gear for each hero. Upgrading the assembly lines requires gold, which we gain from killing monsters, whereas gear is upgraded using enchantment stones that we get one of every 90 seconds. The game is almost exclusively PvE, but optional AI PvP against other player's heroes provides additional rewards.

    When progress eventually slows to a halt, we can go on vacation to reset our assembly lines and earn medals used to buy permanent power-ups that allow us to progress faster the next time. Thankfully, we get to keep our equipment and abilities when resetting.

    Although Hero Factory isn't as deep as some idle games, the art style and monster designs are humorous, and progression is nicely paced.

    Hero Factory monetizes through iAPs for loot boxes with gear, a premium currency that we also get plenty of for free, a $5.99 Season Pass for the AI PvP, and a few other items that let us progress faster. There is an incredibly large amount of "opportunities" to watch incentivized ads in Hero Factory, which can thankfully all be removed through a one-time $16.99 iAP. Although expensive, this is a great option for those who end up falling in love with the game.

    Any good time management games that aren't constantly selling their own in-app purchases?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2021 06:03 AM PST

    I'm hoping to find a time management game that doesn't have a million in-app purchases with the associated pop-ups. I'm happy to pay for a game outright, or to get rid of ads and the odd top-up, I just don't want a constant sales pitch.

    Cook, Serve, Delicious is my fsvourite game of this type, just to give an idea, but it doesn't have to be cooking-related!

    Open-ended game where I can break the Geneva Convention?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 09:14 PM PST

    Looking for a game similar to the following in substance - style and mechanics of course can vary wildly!

    • Dwarf Fortress - setting up dwarfy contraptions to utterly destroy or capture hostiles. Said inmates can then be released into pits for entertainment. If they're wild animals they can be released on raiding parties.
    • RimWorld - capturing enemy visitors (or just random passers) and putting them to work in the mines while occasionally harvesting organs or limps to improve my own colony.
    • Stellaris - take control of a planet just to enslave the entire population and put them to work in growing your empire.
    • Prison Architect - didn't get very far in this one but I'd bet you can be devious in it.

    I think Prison Architect is available on iPad but I don't have one 😭

    Depth of mechanics and theme is of course paramount, while graphics are a distant thought.

    Any suggestions welcome!

    Battlechasers or Titan Quest?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 07:54 PM PST

    I'm looking for a new game to play on my phone. Tried getting into some gacha games and they are just too time consuming. Only playing Dx2 right now.

    Went through the sub searching under "looking" and most people recommend battlechasers or titan quest. From these two, which one do you guys enjoy the most??

    I'm into WRPGs and JRPGs equally if either falls into those categories.

    Thank you in advance!

    Are there any games with a marketplace?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2021 12:22 PM PST

    Im looking for a game with a market run by the players. Like players can trade items and that sets the value for the item. An example of this type of game would be like Growtopia.
