    5 RPG Hidden Gems

    Posted: 31 Mar 2022 10:02 AM PDT

    There are SO MANY RPG's released every day on the App Store. Unfortunately, this tends to cause certain RPG's to be overlooked even though they may be great! That is why I wanted to compile this list of 5 RPG Hidden Gems! Hopefully it helps others find a fantastic RPG to sink some time into!

    I also made a completely optional video that includes gameplay and more information about each individual game. If that interests anyone, it can be found here: https://youtu.be/QNfpHwIetzA

    Alright, let's get right into it!

    ———————————————————————

    My Top 5 RPG Hidden Gems (In No Particular Order)

    1. Emergent Fates: This one has a very distinct, hand-drawn art style with a really solid and varied soundtrack. Its gameplay feels like a mixture between Shin Megami Tensei, Pokémon, and Final Fantasy. The game's story is also fairly decent. I think that this game may just be the most overlooked one on this list in terms of notoriety.

    2. 9th Dawn III: This game plays like Skyrim mixed with the Witcher series from a top-down perspective. It has a vast world to explore and tons of enemies to slay, skills to train, dungeons to discover, and so much more. It even has its own card game that contains hundreds of cards to battle with and collect. The amount of content this one has is astonishing.

    3. Siralim Ultimate: This is a turn-based, monster-collecting RPG that feels like a combination of Shin Megami Tensei and Pokémon. You can breed different pairs of captured monsters into completely new monsters that you otherwise wouldn't find through battles. It is also incredibly deep when it comes to various statistics and team synergies/compositions. This game is my favorite of the Siralim series, as well as my favorite on this list.

    4. The Way Home: This one is a survival crafting Game with a charming art style and sound design. You explore various environments, collect materials, craft items, and unlock various things for your home base. Its enemies and bosses are super fun to encounter and overcome. I highly suggest this one for those of you that enjoy mobile games in portrait mode.

    5. Dungeons & Miners: This has a pretty interesting premise to it's story that immediately makes you curious about what's going on. You delve into dungeons where you are able to discover and mine various ores. Then you can use them to upgrade existing gear and weapons or to create new ones. It's pretty nice to switch back and forth between mining and combat to stave off any staleness that might otherwise occur. You can also play this game in portrait or landscape mode.

    I hope I have helped you find an RPG that may have slipped under your radar! Perhaps you knew of these games and this post encouraged you to give some of them a solid go? I consider either of these scenarios a success!

    If you have read through to this point, thank for reading! I truly appreciate you giving my content a chance! If you want to read/watch more of my content, check out any of the links/posts in my Reddit profile!

    3d portrait mode games?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2022 02:38 PM PDT

    I really love portrait mode games, but sometimes I want more then the 2d visuals. I really enjoy portrait mode shooters or open world exploration. A few I have enjoyed:

    Interloper

    The Trail

    Mario Kart Tour

    Mindkeeper

    The Elder Scrolls Blades

    The Nemesis

    Character growth and progression games

    Posted: 31 Mar 2022 01:24 AM PDT

    I'm a massive fan of games that have heaps of progression and grinding. Where I can sit down and play non stop or play-idle-Energy system, constantly getting better or higher rarity gear and PvP as well as PvE. Definitely prefer if it's portrait!

    Total War games on iphone - any long-term thoughts?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2022 03:24 AM PDT

    Hi!

    With medieval 2 around the corner I decided to look up people's thoughts on the old ports of Rome+expansions. I found a lot of excitement at release and people recommending it for iPad, but not much in the way of reviews for long term saves on phones. Considering these games are extraordinary timesinks, I began to wonder if anyone on an iphone even bothered to play beyond a few turns. I played the shit out of Rome, Medieval 1/2, and Empire on PC but have struggled with the last few TW games so I am keen to go back. I know this because I enjoyed the total war remaster on PC, and I won't be rebuying that, but am seriously going to consider Medieval 2 when it arrives.

    Thing is, I only have an iphone 13 pro and no ipad nor plans to buy one, and that screen is pretty small for games. I think I might struggle to get engaged (especially because total war is hardly a "pick up and play 5 minutes" kind of game). Occasionally I go on long trips and I do think I could find the time to play at least one campaign - maybe one I haven't done before like the Poles or danish. I'm just worried that using it on the phone for a while will get too much of a hassle. Did anyone actually complete any of the TW Rome games on their phone and how was the experience?

    The Top 10 iOS Adventure Games of 2022 (my research and predictions)

    Posted: 31 Mar 2022 05:03 AM PDT

    tl;dr 1 - Similar to the Action Genre, there are a lot of games that label themselves in the Adventure genre so I basically use this list to cover a lot of the great games that don't fit in those other genres as well. It was a lot of fun doing this research. Hope you guys enjoy. Here is my list for this years Top 10 Adventure Games of 2022: Clash Heroes, Just Cause Mobile, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Gangstar New York, Hitman Sniper Assassins, Swordigo, Sky: Children of the light, Lost Lands 3, Life is Strange Ture Colors, FINAL FANTASY VI (Extras: Awaken: Astral Blade, N-INNOCENCE, Tomb Raider: Reloaded) (I give my reasons for choosing each one, so if one of these confuses you, make sure to read the post before raging 😂)

    tl;dr 2 - I made all of this with game footage into a short HQ video here https://youtu.be/tLZzPt5P_fk

    Update on the original video for those that care; it now has over 330k views in less than 3 months. I credit a lot of this success to Reddit and the feedback I have gotten from this community. So thank you! https://youtu.be/7-TakjaKy30

    But for those of you who rather read, here is the video script:

    The first and Best Mobile Adventure game for 2022 will be Clash Heroes. This game is made by Supercell which means it will get lots of downloads, but as I have said in many of my videos, these lists are not based on how many downloads games will get in the Play Store, but rather how popular it will be among serious gamers. The reason why I think this game will be popular among serious gamers is because it is going to be kind of a unique game for the mobile phone. Clash Heroes looks like it's going to be kind of a Minecraft Dungeons game which there's not a lot of those and I think it's gonna do really well for the mobile phone because it doesn't have a lot of time commitment each time you play. Now I do think this game will be more casual than a lot of the other games that I usually put on these lists mainly because Minecraft Dungeons is still a little bit more of a casual game than some of these other games, but also because it's Supercell and Supercell has had a tendency to make more casual games. Now I will admit that ever since Tencent took over ownership of Supercell, they have reduced some of the paywall. Those of you who played Clash of Clans know that they had a paywall to make it to where you simply couldn't max out your base without paying thus giving you a disadvantage and while that is still true of Supercell and a lot of their games, you can see in games like Brawl Stars, they're toning it down just a little bit and I think that has to do with Tencent.

    I removed the bonus game on this list (A3: Still Alive) because it is sponsored and not part of the top 10. I actually do like the game and have recommended it in previous posts/videos, but I don't put sponsored stuff on reddit (just YouTube).

    The second game on the list is Just Cause. This game is labeled as an action-shooter which might make you wonder why I put it in the adventure genre and while I might have should have also put it in some of my other videos, the reason why I think it will be attractive to adventure gamers is because of the types of gamemodes it is offering. The game features a longer action-packed story campaign and 4 player Co-Op missions which capture that adventure feel. But even more than that, it's 30 person competitive multiplayer is set up in such a way that even it feels a little bit more like an adventure than your normal AAA game. All four game modes are completely free to play, it has high quality 3D graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4, integrated voice chat and responsive touch controls. But the thing that truly sets this game apart is it's unique movement system which allows you to use the building and terrain to continually switch between grappling, parachuting or using your wingsuit.

    The third game on the list is Harry Potter: Hogwart's Mystery. This is a classic adventure game and they have done things really well. The immediate appeal of this game is that it puts you in the life of a student at Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat places you in either Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff and then you go through the school. You learn potions, you learn spells, you do all of the stuff that a student at Hogwarts would do, including all of the adventures that you see in the movies. Going and exploring all the secrets of the school, befriending magical creatures like the Niffler, playing quidditch, and earning the house cup. So ultimately they did a good job of capturing the feel of Hogwarts, getting a 4.5 rating on Google Play. But they've also done a good job of integrating co-op and multiplayer, so a lot of husbands and wives enjoy playing this game and doing the adventure side by side.

    The fourth game is Gangstar New York. This game is made by Gameloft, and is coming out both on the PC and the mobile phone at the same time. The premise of this game is that it offers the ultimate sandbox experience in a near future New York City. As you explore this futuristic new city you can parkour, grapple, zipline, jet pack, steal things from others, and even have aerial battles. And then within that open world there's 10 player co-op PvP events, and all kinds of missions that you can do. Of those things you can do, one of my favorite things is that you can take a hot spot on the open world and kind of claim it as a territory with your gang, and then set the rules on what other people can and can't do when they enter in y'all's territory.

    The fifth game on the list is Hitman Sniper by Square Enix. This game is not a new game, but it has proved itself over the years as one of the best adventure games, and I don't think enough people have experienced it because it cost a dollar to be able to play it. And while a dollar is not that much, it does deter a lot of people that are used to trying out free games and then deciding later if they like the game whether or not they're going to spend money. That being said, even though this game costs a dollar, it has gotten over 10 million downloads, almost 900,000 reviews averaging at 4.3, and has gained the editors choice award from Google Play. The game calls itself an action game, but I think it is much more of an adventure game. In fact I would argue that it is the best sniper-based adventure game. Allowing you to go through eliminating high profile targets and upgrading your unique sniper rifles with powerful abilities, and then, once you finish the campaign or the adventure part of the game, it has a bonus zombies mode so that you can keep on enjoying the game.

    The sixth game is Swordigo. This game is also not new, but it is getting a lot of new 2022 traction right now because it is an exciting adventure game. One of my favorite quotes about this game is from Side to Play, where they said that Swordigo is a love letter to the platforming and adventure games of the past. I love this description because I feel like it captures the game really well. Sortigo is based in a magical realm with lots of dungeons and towns full of treasure, and then as you fight the various monsters in the game you gain experience and level up your character. Much like many of the classic action games, this game allows for a lot of progression both in leveling up and getting new weapons, but also in developing skill for the game. So if you are good at playing platformers, you will get really good at this game. And then the last thing that makes this game so good for the mobile phone is because the developers designed the gameplay to be fluid and challenging, specifically for the mobile phone, and they even allow you to customize your controls to your preference.

    The seventh game is Sky Children of the Light. This game is another game that is not necessarily new, but they are continuously updating the game making it feel new even for the experienced players. One of the things that I love the most about this game is how calming it is. As you go on your adventure, you will get dazzled by the colors and immersed in the calming and beautiful music of this game. And then once you finally finish one of the beautiful realms of this game, you will be elated to find out that there are six more waiting for you. As you play the game there are new things to unlock, but not a ton of them, which allows you to focus on the calming and slow paced adventurous nature of this game. Now you will notice other players in this game, because it is technically also an MMORPG but the devs have set it up in a way where everyone is kind of forced to be uplifting to each other, and there's not really room for people to be toxic. So again, it creates a very slow paced calming adventure for those people that like that style of game.

    The eighth game on the list is Lost Lands Three. This is your classic puzzle game, which I'm not a huge fan of, but they did a really good job with it, and I have a lot of respect for this game. The story starts with your character, an ordinary housewife named Susan, visiting a museum in which she gets sucked into a magical land via a mirror. In this game there are over 50 stunning locations and more than 40 different mini-games, so if you like adventure games but also like puzzles this is my number one recommendation for you.

    The ninth game is another game by Square Enix named Life Is Strange: True Colors. 7 years after the original Life is Strange, this game improves on the original concept. If you like your adventure games to feel kind of like a movie then this is a beautifully written modern adventure game very much like the first one, but instead of a story where you play as a photography student that can rewind time, you play as a girl named Alex Chen who has the ability to absorb and manipulate the emotions of others. In this story, Alex just recently lost her brother and has to use her abilities to figure out what happened to him. One of the things that really makes these games stand out is that the stories change based on the choices you make, and it's not one of those superficial games that gives you the illusion of choice, but ultimately you end up in the same place. But rather there are multiple endings to the story based on the choices you make, allowing there to be more replayability for these games.

    The last game on the list is Final Fantasy VI, and while this game is new to mobile it is definitely not a new game, but rather just the original Final Fantasy VI that has been recently remastered and put on the mobile phone. And while they didn't do a perfect job of remapping all the controls to make it perfect for the mobile phone, they did a really good job, and the game is still as amazing as what made it famous so long ago. But the biggest catch with this game and the reason why it is at the bottom of the list is because it costs $18 upfront to buy.

    Okay, so those are the top 10 mobile adventure games for 2022, but I do have three more honorable mentions for you.

    The first one is Awaken Astral Blade. This game is a dark fairy tale metroidvania game, based in the setting of a mysterious ancient runes. Loretta, a girl who has a parasitic relationship with an alien beast, has tried to break through the fog and uncover the truth about her fate. This game has a lot of potential, but because the alpha hasn't even been released yet, I don't think it will actually come out this year.

    The second honorable mention is N-INNOCENCE. This is a promising upcoming Japanese action RPG developed by Osibemo. The game is produced with the most advanced 3D CG technology in the industry, and the developers are committed to creating gorgeous game effects. And they've gotten the participation of some famous voice actors, so it sounds amazing, but the gameplay that I've seen so far looks incredibly lacking. Also, they seem to rely heavily on sexy images which is something that makes me generally think they're lacking in other areas. That is not always true, but based on the gameplay I've seen so far, it looks like it is true in this case.

    And then the last honorable mention is Tomb Raider Reloaded, which I have said many times before, I just don't see this game going that far. It is Tomb Raider, which is a highly loved series, but it looks more like a typical kitchen mobile game with lots of in app purchases and very minimal storyline. So while i did go ahead and put it in my top 10 action games, because there is quite a bit of hype for it, I simply don't think that it will be a good fit for those players looking for an adventure game. If you are looking for a Tomb Raider adventure game, then I would recommend Lara Croft GO ,which although it costs $6.00 and is not a new game, it is a much more fitting game if you like the action genre.

    Well that's it guys. Hope that helps. If a game is not on here that you think should be on here, it is probably because I put it in a different genre, like perhaps action games or something else. Many of those videos are already out, and the rest will be out very soon.

    Alright guys, I'll see you next time.

    tl;dr 1 - Similar to the Action Genre, there are a lot of games that label themselves in the Adventure genre so I basically use this list to cover a lot of the great games that don't fit in those other genres as well. It was a lot of fun doing this research. Hope you guys enjoy. Here is my list for this years Top 10 Adventure Games of 2022: Clash Heroes, Just Cause Mobile, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Gangstar New York, Hitman Sniper Assassins, Swordigo, Sky: Children of the light, Lost Lands 3, Life is Strange Ture Colors, FINAL FANTASY VI (Extras: Awaken: Astral Blade, N-INNOCENCE, Tomb Raider: Reloaded) (I give my reasons for choosing each one, so if one of these confuses you, make sure to read the post before raging 😂)

    tl;dr 2 - I made all of this with game footage into a short HQ video here https://youtu.be/tLZzPt5P_fk

    Update on the original video for those that care; it now has over 330k views in less than 3 months. I credit a lot of this success to Reddit and the feedback I have gotten from this community. So thank you! https://youtu.be/7-TakjaKy30
