3 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 85) Posted: 30 Apr 2021 03:29 AM PDT Welcome back, fellow mobile gamers, to a special "offline-playable" version of my weekly mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played last week :) This episode covers a fun zombie-shooting FPS that truly took me by surprise, a new deckbuilding dungeon-crawler RPG, and a challenging neon-style tower defense game. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 85 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:The Walking Zombie 2 [Game Size: 384 MB] (free)Genre: Shooter / Action-adventure / Indie / Action - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: The Walking Zombie 2 is a large offline-playable action-adventure FPS with story-driven missions and side-quests, set in a low-poly post-apocalyptic world. The core gameplay has us acquire new missions by talking to NPCs at our small camp and then travel to the mission locations from the world map. These missions often include gathering resources needed for survival and shooting hordes of zombies with our range of weapons. The core gameplay is fun and surprisingly well-made, but where the game really shines is in its RPG elements that allow us to heavily customize our character through lots of unique skills and perks as we progress. Skills may increase our firearms or melee damage, or even improve our trading or speech proficiency, which decreases the price of goods and allows us to acquire more quests from NPCs respectively. Perks, on the other hand, may improve our reloading speed, allow us to gain XP faster, and much more. While the art-style is average, the clean and minimalistic UI help create a nice, uninterrupted, gameplay experience. To my big surprise, some of the cut-scenes are even fully voiced, and there's a karma system that rewards or punishes us depending on which decisions we make. The Walking Zombie 2 monetizes through frequent forced ads, a $3.99 iAP to remove these ads, and additional iAPs for better weapons, extra skill points, and other items that make it faster to complete the game. Fortunately, none of the iAPs are necessary to enjoy the game at all. There is, however, a fuel system that limits how much we can travel between missions in one play session. While I didn't expect much from this game, the depth of its gameplay very positively surprised me. If you can pay to remove the annoying ads, the game is an easy recommendation. App Store: Here Card Hog [Total Game Size: 97 MB] (PAID - $1.99)Genre: Deckbuilding / Dungeon-crawler / Card / Indie - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Card Hog is a turn-based deckbuilding dungeon-crawler with a core gameplay loop inspired by Dungeon Cards and Look, Your Loot! Our goal is to get as far as possible into a dungeon consisting of a 4x3 playing-field full of cards, with our hero placed in the middle. From thereon, we tap adjacent cards to move around and interact with the cards around us, which include weapon, potion, currency, or monster cards. If we have less HP than an enemy's attack power when we attack it, we die and have to start a new game from scratch. Between playthroughs, we can pick another of the seven different heroes for our next adventure, or buy permanent upgrades using a special currency gained by doing side-quests. With three game-modes and dungeons that are procedurally generated, the game offers a decent amount of replayability, not to mention that unlocking all heroes and 100 cards takes a while. This progression helps keep the game interesting beyond the first few playthroughs. The art-style is simple but humorous and polished. My only complaint is that the very short tutorial doesn't introduce some of the most important core gameplay systems, which may cause some confusion until you've played a few rounds. Card Hog is a $1.99 premium game with no ads or additional iAPs. App Store: Here Radiant Defense [Game Size: 14 MB] (free)Genre: Tower Defense - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Radiant Defense is a challenging 15-level tower defense game that lets us place walls to alter the route our enemies will be forced to take – something we use to our advantage to get the most out of our towers. With a few special buildings and nine towers that can be leveled up, the game feels like a very traditional tower defense game. The only thing I'm missing is an option to select which types of enemies our towers should target, which is a feature I've gotten used to in most other games in the genre. The neon art-style and special effects perfectly combine with the music to create a uniquely atmospheric experience that feels very polished, and the controls are as simple as can be. Surprisingly, the entire game only takes up 14 MB of space, which means it can run on any potato of a smartphone. Radiant Defense is free to play, monetizing only through four $1.99 iAPs that unlock new towers and buildings. Due to the game's difficulty, some of these purchases are almost required to be able to finish the game, but once bought, they at least turn the game into a premium experience.

Any Recommendations for fun Premium/NOT P2W games? (more details below) Posted: 30 Apr 2021 01:04 AM PDT I've been playing a farming game for almost 2 years and the devs just introduced another level to their P2W model that just blows me away, and I don't think I want to support them any more. I enjoy playing this game, but am sick of this company's absurd greed. So I'd like to find another app game. It doesn't have to be another farming simulator, but I would like it to include some of these things:
Thanks for any recommendations! [link] [comments] | ||
What is this style of game called Posted: 30 Apr 2021 09:44 AM PDT What is this style of game called It's a simple game where you have your base on one side and the enemy base on the other. You choose units to send to their death in a battle against untis the enemy is sending and thats it. I love that style of game but I can't to find any decent ones recently and I don't know what they're actually called to search for them. [link] [comments] | ||

Any update on keyboard mouse working for iPad pubg? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:43 AM PDT I love gaming on ipad. Using my ps4 joystick for emulators. Is there a possibility to connect a keyboard and mouse for pubg? The game runs really well on it and I believe the touch controls are a waste on it. [link] [comments] | ||
Dicey Elementalist First Impressions Posted: 29 Apr 2021 04:45 PM PDT Dicey Elementalist came out of the blue for me. I had no clue what it was. Once I saw it was free, I knew I had to give it a whirl. I've been playing it for the past day or two and I saw there has been some curiosity/talk about the game. I wanted to share my first impressions with you guys in the hopes that it helps you decide whether it's worth your time or not! Feel free to leave your guys' first impressions of Dicey Elementalist below too! I'm interested to see if your thoughts line up with mine! Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
Looking for a boss fighting game on ios Posted: 30 Apr 2021 05:08 AM PDT So i've been looking for a boss fighting game for a bit but can't find anything. What i'm looking for is a game where boss fights require a bit of skill. So dodging attacks and timing your own. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||
GoAT video game ports on the app store Posted: 29 Apr 2021 10:31 PM PDT How many of these are there now? I'm not talking about classic ios games. I'm talking about names that get thrown when you ask "What is the best video game ever made?" Off the top of my head, the app store has a port of:
Any big ones missing from this list? EDIT: Added a few from comments, but I think most people missed the point of this post. This is not a generic "recommend me some good games" post. 8/10 indie games do not fit the bill. I'm talking about ports of the literal best games ever made for other, real gaming hardware.
