| 5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 127) - [PREMIUM GAME EDITION] Posted: 15 Apr 2022 04:08 AM PDT Happy Friday, and welcome back to a special "premium-games-only" version of my weekly tl;dr mobile game recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week. Hope you'll enjoy it :) Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3 This episode includes a challenging precision-platform, a fast-paced 2D rhythm-based platformer, a casual turn-based strategy game, a great text-based incremental RPG, and a Hitman GO-style puzzle game. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 126 weeks ago here. Let's get to the games:VVVVVV [Game Size: 127 MB] ($2.99)Genre: Platform / Action - Offline Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by Erich Zann: VVVVVV is a 2D open-world precision platformer by the developer of Super Hexagon in which we control spaceship Captain Viridian on his journey to rescue his crewmen. Unlike most platformers, however, there is no jumping mechanic in VVVVVV, forcing us instead to reverse the direction of gravity to get around. Although this sounds simple, the gameplay is super challenging to say the least, and the game does a great job at keeping us engaged through the split-second reactions required to finish most rooms, and the new elements introduced as we progress. Thankfully, the game isn't unfairly punishing as there are lots of checkpoints along the way, and the core gameplay loop is fast. There is even support for player-created rooms, which guarantees lots of replayability. The game features multiple straightforward touch control options, some of which are more responsive than others. Thankfully, the standard controls work very well, it's easy to switch between the different options, and there's also controller support. The simplicity of VVVVVV 's gameplay is also reflected in its graphics that resemble the 8-bit pixel art of the Commodore 64 in both fidelity and style. Just like many games from that era, the world map consists of multiple rooms with minimalistic yet charming environments that still clearly communicate what to avoid. VVVVVV costs 2.99$, without ads or iAPs. Overall, it's an easy recommendation for those who like challenging platformers with a solid gameplay loop and simple graphics. App Store: Here Neon Beats [Total Game Size: 122 MB] ($2.99)Genre: Rhythm / Platformer / Neon-style - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Neon Beats is a fast-paced 2D platformer with a clean neon art-style and a unique rhythm-based gameplay experience. Controlling a small square character by jumping and moving it left and right, our goal is to avoid the many obstacles and occasional objects chasing us to complete each level as fast as possible with as few deaths as possible – all while gathering the music nodes hidden in each level. Accompanying these levels is a set of unique tunes, which is where the rhythm aspect comes in. Because every platform element that moves around or appears and disappears does so to the rhythm of the music instead of at fixed intervals. This makes the gameplay experience highly immersive and creates a certain flow and momentum to the way we maneuver our way through the neatly designed levels. The controls are tight and responsive, and although the game is rather difficult, we simply respawn at the latest invisible checkpoint if we die, ensuring that the game doesn't feel punishing. The first level is very simple, but the pace and difficulty quickly picks up and we start to truly get into "the zone" as we seamlessly flow across the platforms. This is where the game really shines. But then, unfortunately, it all abruptly ends. The biggest downside of Neon Beats is that there are only eight levels. After they've been completed, the only other objective is to finish them faster and with fewer deaths, which is definitely challenging but also something many players most likely won't attempt. Neon Beats costs $2.99, and despite its short length, the polished and fun gameplay experience makes it worth considering checking out for any fan of challenging platformers. App Store: Here Shattered Plane [Game Size: 116 MB] ($4.99)Genre: Strategy / Casual / Turn-based - Online + Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by AlexSem: Shattered Plane is a fast-paced turn-based tactical strategy game heavily focused on troop movement and positioning, set in a world inspired by Slavic mythology. Each battle map consists of a hexagonal grid with capital cities for each rival faction and several smaller cities scattered across the field. Cities we control generate a certain number of troops each turn, and our goal is to move these around the map to capture other cities and battle enemy forces. When two opposing squads collide, the number of troops in each team is the only factor determining who wins, which means we must carefully position our units to prevent enemies from outmaneuvering or overpowering us. This seemingly simple gameplay mechanic is complemented by additional features such as a morale system that significantly affects our units' prowess in battle, special skills each faction can use to quickly turn the odds in their favor, and a limit to the number of moves we can make each turn, which requires us to be extra thoughtful. It is especially important to take all these systems into account on larger maps with multiple opponents where a lot goes on at the same time. Shattered Plane is a $4.99 premium game without ads or iAPs that often goes on sale for $0.99. With a story-driven single-player campaign, random skirmishes, online ranked battles, and a hot-seat multiplayer mode, the game provides a ton of replayability and enough entertainment for anyone fond of these "easy to learn - hard to master" type of strategy games. App Store: Here A Dark Room [Game Size: 48 MB] ($1.99)Genre: RPG / Text-based - Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Erich Zann: A Dark Room is an incremental RPG where we take on the role of a nameless person who wakes up in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a voice in her head telling her to survive. The early part of the game has us simply gather wood, fur, and other resources so that we can develop our village. Soon, however, things get much more interesting, as the game turns into a true RPG adventure that consists of exploring randomly generated post-apocalyptic worlds to discover wonders and fight dangerous monsters. As a purely text-based adventure that uses ASCII art to convey information, we initiate actions and interact with the game world through simple buttons, while a text log helps us keep track of what's going on. The only major criticism I have of A Dark Room is that during some runs, the gameplay pace can be slightly negatively impacted by the randomly generated map. There isn't much that can be said about the art-style aside from the fact that its minimalism provides us the freedom to use our imagination to create the world. The UI is similarly clean and all text is easily readable. A Dark Room is a $1.99 premium with no iAPs or ads. It is a fun and unique RPG adventure experience with great world-building, which makes it an easy recommendation for those who like text-based RPGs. App Store: Here Vandals [Game Size: 313 MB] ($3.99)Genre: Puzzle / Strategy - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape + Portrait Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: Vandals is a graffiti-themed strategy puzzle game similar to Hitman GO, except we play as street artists in various cities and time periods, trying to spray buildings without being caught by the police. The game is turn-based and plays out on a gridded playing field. We can move our character one space at a time, and our enemies range from hyper-alert dogs and police with searchlights, to those sleeping on the job. Our objective is to get to each level's designated spot to do our art, and then get away without being caught. The puzzles are well designed, with even the trickier levels still not feeling frustrating or impossible. Apart from simply moving around, we can blow a whistle to distract guards, and learn to use other methods to avoid detection as we progress. The most fun part of each mission is when we get to create our own tag or artwork to spray on the wall. With an accessible interface not unlike MS Paint, it's entirely up to us whether we want to draw a simple shape or something highly detailed. This opportunity for creativity is great, allowing us to personalize our experience. The game's art-style is adequate but not extraordinary, and it's especially disappointing that each city looks practically identical. For example, Paris 1969 is virtually indistinguishable from Berlin 1984, which feels like a wasted opportunity to liven things up. Similarly, new enemies and game mechanics are introduced at a much slower pace than in Hitman GO, making the game feel more repetitive. Vandals is a premium game without ads or iAPs that costs $3.99. It's certainly an entertaining game, and although it doesn't quite have enough variety to be addictive, it remains both challenging and fun.

| Wasn't Gunfire Reborn supposed to be out now on the US app store? Posted: 14 Apr 2022 08:44 PM PDT I remember pre-ordering it and I thought I read it to be releasing on the 5th of April, but now when searching for it, shows that it's not available in the US store [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT I have had my iPad(6th gen) since like 2019 and I think it was released in 2018. It has the same chip as the iPhone 7 I think. I have bought minecraft on the appstore a long time ago and never actually played it on my ipad until recently. However, everytime I play for more than a continuous 30 minutes the device gets hot(which is usual) but the fps also drops to like 20-30. I don't think this problem used to happen back in 2019. Is there a fix? Has minecraft really changed a lot since then? [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone tried Shadow Hunter Special edition? Posted: 15 Apr 2022 07:12 AM PDT Hello, I was checking games on the store and I found this one. Seems to be premium with no iap, and the gameplay looks nice. I'd love to have some feedback. Anyone here played it? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| what games has everyone been playing? really struggling to find games rn.. Posted: 14 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2022 05:41 AM PDT I'm looking for a game with asynchronous multiplayer (meaning you can take your turn and log off and wait for everyone else to take one) that allows for team play. Polytopia would be great for example, but there is no built in team mode. I'm thinking of things like Civilization games that you can play with a couple friends against an AI team. Genre really doesn't matter. [link] [comments] |
| Hoping you all can help me find a mobile game from 2013/14 Posted: 14 Apr 2022 11:05 PM PDT I just copy/paste my tipofmyjoystick post to see if you all knew what this game could be. Hoping a more mobile gaming sub could be of more help. It was so much fun! Thanks in advance Platform(s): Had it on the Ipad Genre: Puzzle Maze game kind of like Pepenga Pengo Estimated year of release: 2013-2014 Graphics/art style: 32 bit(ish) graphics Notable characters: there are several main characters but pretty generic Notable gameplay mechanics: The screen was split (tiny dungeon is not the game) and, as you moved around the screen, the split would move as well Other details: The point of the game was to get to the maze exit and, as you progressed along, the screen split would get closer and closer so, if you didn't get there in time, you would not be able to get to the exit and lose. There were enemies as you moved along and you could fight or avoid them. As you progressed through levels, a second character was added and they moved the exact opposite of the main character like this . You had to keep both alive and get both characters to their respective exit to win. I have looked at my apple history and the game hasn't showed up on my download history (almost 10ish years ago). Edit: I was able to find a description of how the screen split worked. It is called dynamic split screen [link] [comments] |
| War / Commanding game recommendations. Posted: 14 Apr 2022 12:36 PM PDT I've recently been playing Rome total war BI and found myself interested in War / commanding games. I am currently looking for warship, dog fight, tanks?, medieval / ancient warfare games that have good graphics and less events (better UI). Recommendations would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| Finding a game from my childhood Posted: 14 Apr 2022 04:57 PM PDT Honestly I'd be very surprised if anyone got it from this description but I don't remember many details, The game had a bunch of different puzzles like word searches, fitword, something to do with like colouring in dots ?? I remember the levels being correlated with a colour, blue was wordsearches and fitword was pink, the first level I remember of the word search was for fruits, after completing a level you spun a wheel and could get coins or letters which would spell something (I don't remember what lmao I think it was something like Puzzle), it was free but had to pay to unlock all the levels — yeah that's about all I can remember tbh - pls help 😅💕 [link] [comments] |
| Any good iPad games for 7€ an under? Posted: 14 Apr 2022 06:49 AM PDT I have an iPad Air 2022 and some app store credit left. Any games that are worth buying for 7€ and under? And preferably some games which i can get a lot of playtime in, not just a story game which can be uninstalled after 5h or so. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2022 10:50 AM PDT Can anyone recommend a good fps shooter like tarkov, siege, or any great hidden gems at all. Thank you so much. [link] [comments] |
| RPG/MMO With Character Customization/Creation Posted: 14 Apr 2022 12:38 PM PDT My fellow gamers I have a request. Are there any good games out there with character creation/customization? I played Blades when it first came out got stuck needed space on my phone and poof it went. I've played OSRS plenty but I need something new, maybe the answer is to go back to Blades but I want a game where the character feels like it's mine. Whether that be a MMO or a RPG I'll take any suggestions! [link] [comments] |
