    Best vertical-oriented CCG?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2022 10:58 AM PDT

    I love card games, but I really can't stand holding my phone sideways while playing them. Not to mention, something about it feels more thrilling, like an actual battle instead of a boring series of turns.

    Best iPhone-specific turn-based rouge lite/like that’s not Slay the Spire?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2022 01:07 PM PDT

    I only specify not StS because I have that on Switch already and play it daily. I'd love something that scratches a similar itch for iOS. Doesn't have to be card-based, just turn-based so it can be picked up and put down easily.

    Looking for suggestions for IOS games for my 4 year old (she's a gamer just like her dear old dad)

    Posted: 19 Mar 2022 11:41 AM PDT

    Hey everyone -

    Hoping I can get a few suggestions for games for kids (premium - I want to pay once none of this in-app stuff).

    Turns out my daughter is a gamer too...and I'd much rather have her gaming than staring at youtube videos (we limit her screen time...but weekends are gaming days when the weather is questionable).

    I'm still trying to figure out exactly what kind of games she likes (she seems like dress up/barbie/etc - but hoping to get a game like with with exploration) - and I know next to nothing about kids games. If she were a bit older I'd get her playing Stardew Valley or something but that's probably well past her at this point. Bonus points if these games can be played offline on an airplane. There's some international travel in our future and while she does well on 2 hour plane rides I can't imagine her sitting still for 8+.

    So - any parents out there with good suggestions for ipad games for kids in the 4-6 year range? Any/all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    4 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 123)

    Posted: 18 Mar 2022 07:20 AM PDT

    Welcome back, my fellow mobile gamers :) These are my weekly mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week :)

    Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3

    This episode includes one of the best strategy RPGs on mobile, a fun incremental idle game, a popular arcade game, and a neat story-driven incremental game.

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 123 weeks ago here.

    Let's get to the games:

    Ticket to Earth [Game Size: 811 MB] ($4.99)

    Genre: RPG / Strategy - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by AlexSem:

    Ticket to Earth is a story-driven sci-fi tactical RPG in which we follow the adventures of our protagonists by fighting through a campaign full of turn-based battles separated by interesting cut-scenes.

    The game features a unique fighting system where we take turns moving and attacking on a tile-based playing field. These tiles each have one of four colors, and we can only move along tiles of the same color. The further we move, the more our attack damage increases and special skills charge up, making it important to carefully identify the longest possible path that simultaneously positions us close to the enemies.

    Combined with a variety of different skills and characters, this combat system creates deep, almost puzzle-like tactical possibilities for how to best deal with the enemies and accomplish all the secondary challenges.

    Aside from the mandatory scripted battles, there are numerous optional missions that help us earn enough coins to purchase gear and skill upgrades, and as the story progresses, more characters with unique abilities also join our cause.

    Despite its captivating narrative and pleasant visuals, the game is a bit slow-paced, with a lot of battles not affecting the story in any meaningful way. This may be a turn-off for some players.

    Ticket to Earth is a $4.99 premium game without ads or iAP. Despite its somewhat narrow target audience, it will definitely appeal to RPG and puzzle fans, and anyone fond of quality mobile games in general.

    Merge Mayor [Total Game Size: 298 MB] (Free)

    Genre: Incremental / Idle - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Merge Mayor is a cute and relaxing offline-playable incremental game where we merge various items on a 7x9 grid board to complete missions that gradually expand and improve our town.

    Each mission requires us to merge our way to specific items on the board, and they can be finished in any order. But what's really interesting is that the board itself is persistent across missions, which means we always start exactly where we left off.

    Merge Mayor is really all about properly managing the space on our merge board, which I found quite enjoyable. This becomes especially apparent when resources like XP, energy, and premium currency occasionally start spawning when other items are merged. These resources can be merged to provide higher rewards, but they take up valuable space on the board, forcing us to make some interesting tactical decisions.

    If the board becomes too empty, we tap various types of carts to spawn a new low-tier item, which costs a bit of energy that replenishes over time. The carts can also temporarily run out of items to spawn, forcing us to wait. This is essentially an energy system, and it's the most frustrating part of this otherwise fun game.

    The colorful art-style and relaxing gameplay create a cute and calming atmosphere perfectly fit for the gameplay, and the progression is overall nicely paced.

    Merge Mayor monetizes through iAPs for energy and resources that let us progress faster, and some incentivized ads. Thankfully, I never felt a strong need to watch ads or pay, but the game seems strictly made to be played in 10-15 minute intervals, and that's how I enjoyed it. There also isn't much challenge to the gameplay, which makes it a perfect casual game to play while watching TV.

    ALTER EGO [Game Size: 121 MB] (Free)

    Genre: Incremental / Idle / Adventure / Story - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Little

    tl;dr review by Sleepy Parrot:

    Alter Ego is a unique incremental idle adventure game about self-discovery that truly took me by surprise.

    The game has us start out by tapping speech bubbles that appear on the screen, called "whispers". This provides us with the game's currency, "Ego". Much like in most other incremental games, we can eventually automate the collection of Ego, which we do by buying and reading books.

    Interestingly, the game references real books about philosophy and psychology, and every time we level up by reading enough pages, passages from these books appear on the screen.

    Another use of Ego is to take personality tests with a character named Es, which gradually teaches us about ourself and the world in which we live. The answers we provide during these tests are ultimately used to determine which of the game's multiple endings we'll arrive at. These interactions with Es are where the game really starts to take off.

    Alter Ego monetizes through a banner ad shown at the bottom of the screen during gameplay, and incentivized ads for some bonuses. A $2.99 iAP lets us remove these ads, while other iAPs up to $9.99 let us gather Ego faster or immediately unlock different endings to the story. Thankfully, these purchases are never forced on us, and they're not necessary to finish or enjoy the game.

    All in all, this is a great hidden gem of a unique and creative idle game that I am confident anyone who enjoys story-driven games and incremental experiences will enjoy.

    Crossy Road [Game Size: 255 MB] (Free)

    Genre: Arcade / Casual - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by Pete McD:

    Crossy Road is a fun arcade game where our goal is to guide our character across endless roads, avoiding a never-ending flow of traffic – a gameplay loop heavily inspired by Konami's 1981 game "Frogger".

    If we ponder our next move for too long, a bird swoops down and kills us, meaning we're forced to constantly move forward, and to make things even trickier, we also occasionally have to cross rivers by landing on lily pads or moving logs. The aim of the game is to simply get as far as we can.

    We control our character by tapping to move forward and swiping left, right, or down to move in other directions. This simple control setup makes the game perfect for playing with one hand.

    The 3D pixel art is deliberately retro and adds a lot to the playful atmosphere of the game. Where Crossy Roads really shines, however, is in its vast number of settings and avatars. Before you know it, you'll be playing as a T-rex in prehistoric times, a dancer in a Brazilian carnival, or even as a roll of toilet paper trying to dodge desk chairs and robot hoovers.

    Themes and avatars can be instantly bought via iAPs, although free players also unlock them fairly quickly. In addition, there are forced ads that can be removed through a $0.99 purchase, and incentivized ads that allow us to earn coins and prizes faster.

    Most rounds last less than a minute unless your reflexes are super sharp. This makes the game ideal for picking up and putting down at any time. The monetization is a bit chaotic, but it's not necessary to spend any money to enjoy the game as all the unlocks are purely cosmetic.

    Overall, it's a great adaption of a classic arcade format, and it's a fun game to kill a few minutes with.

    Looking for an action oriented game to play using backbone.

    These both look great - just wondering if one is preferred over the other? Will probably play both eventually.
