| 5 Great Alternatives To Diablo Immortal Posted: 17 Jun 2022 12:41 PM PDT The recent release of Diablo Immortal left many people disappointed with its immoral monetization practices, including myself. This caused me to reflect on some of my favorite ARPG games on mobile. I figured I would put them in a list for others to scratch their "Diablo itch". I hope it helps! I also made a video that includes gameplay and more information about each individual game. It's only around 3 minutes long. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/8_a6buUEoyA Alright, let's get into it! —————————————————————— • Titan Quest HD: This is one of the main classics of the ARPG genre ever since it was originally released on PC. I love its mythology and bright/colorful world, which really help it stand out from other ARPG's. You can buy the base game (which has plenty of content to offer) or you can buy the legendary edition, which includes all DLC that has ever been released for the game. It also includes full controller support. This is a must-buy, in my opinion. Link To Game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/titan-quest-hd/id1424977227 • Almora Darkosen RPG: This has been a passion project by a solo developer for 9 years. It has a distinct Diablo-like feel to it while offering an expansive RPG experience. Some of its elements didn't age too well but the core gameplay itself is extremely well-done. Definitely give this one a try if you want to enjoy a game that truly harkens back to great games of the past! Link To Game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/almora-darkosen-rpg/id1594920342 • Raziel: Dungeon Arena: This one borrows quite a few gameplay systems/elements from Diablo III. It also includes multiplayer and a full-fledged chat system. Raziel may have some free-to-play shenanigans but it is NO WHERE NEAR as egregious as Diablo Immortal. It's extremely fun to play well into the end-game without spending a single dime. Link To Game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/raziel-dungeon-arena/id1522241983 • Eternium: This is one of the original mobile-only ARPG's of the App Store and it still receives consistent updates to this day. It utilizes touch screen controls extremely well, especially throughout its combat mechanics. The monetization is very fair and you can grind for practically everything except for select cosmetics. If you want to play a game with multiple years of content, give this one a try. Link To Game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eternium/id579931356 • Anima ARPG: This is a solid offering that blends some gameplay elements of Diablo and Path of Exile. There is a crazy amount of content on offer here and it is a completely single player experience. Its monetization is also fair and only allows purchases for cosmetics that have very slight stat increases. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Anima and I feel that it holds its own against the best this genre has to offer on mobile. If you are looking for a free ARPG, this is your best bet. Link To Game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anima-arpg-action-rpg/id1500448965 —————————————————————— Thanks for reading through my list of alternative games to Diablo Immortal! I hope it helps everyone find a great Diablo-like game to enjoy! Please share some of your favorites in the comments! Let's get a discussion going!

| What games have you been playing long term? Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:07 AM PDT Even if you've taken breaks here and there, what games have you been playing for the past few months or even years? For example, on and off I've been playing egg inc for 5+ years. I know some of you have been playing CoC for much longer. Do you still enjoy it or are you kind of in maintenance mode? Is the game still friendly for new players to get into? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a game to help me cope - specifications below Posted: 17 Jun 2022 04:40 AM PDT I'm going through some really rough medical stuff right now, and one of the only things that has gotten me through this awful two weeks has been Candy Crush — but specifically because I got two weeks infinite lives and could play as continuously as possible. That's run out and now I don't know what to do to fill the time while I lay here in pain. I've tried a few puzzle-y type games like CC, but they're all time gated mostly by lives. My mind isn't super sharp right now so being restricted by 5 lives means I get to play for a few minutes every hour, whereas with that infinite life thing I could mindlessly play for hours if I wanted to. (It's pathetic I know, but it's helped me cope through this awful situation). Does anyone have any recommendations of what I could try? [link] [comments] |

| 5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 135) Posted: 17 Jun 2022 04:40 AM PDT Happy Friday - and welcome back to my mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week. Hope you'll enjoy the read! :) Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3 This episode includes one of the best point 'n click puzzle games around, an over-the-top simulation adventure game themed like an 80s cop movie, a beautiful hidden object game, a new Archero-like RPG, and a massive auto-MMORPG. Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 133 weeks ago here. Let's get to the games:Rusty Lake: Roots [Game Size: 181 MB] ($2.99)Genre: Puzzle / Point 'n Click - Offline Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: Rusty Lake: Roots is the second premium game in a series of point-and-click adventure puzzlers that follow three generations of a family and their very, very odd history. Each level follows some of the family members and takes the form of a very condensed escape room-style puzzle. In some levels, the goal is simply to paint flowers or take a family photograph, while others feature much more surreal objectives, such as combining various fluids to make a baby in a glass bottle. As is often the case in this series, the difficulty ranges from satisfyingly challenging to unfairly difficult. Fortunately, the good levels outweigh the frustrating ones, and the game's difficulty is overall decently fair, with an in-game walkthrough as a backup. Rather than one or two big levels, Roots features 30 smaller levels to play through, which makes for a much more varied experience – especially when compared to the other games in the series. We can even switch between levels whenever we want, which is especially convenient if we get stuck. The game introduces a huge cast of characters that range from very memorable to completely forgettable. Strongest among them is the villain Albert, who wears a variety of terrifying masks while performing different creepy actions. The story surrounding this entire affair is intriguing but remains secondary to the gameplay. Rusty Lake: Roots is a premium game very reasonably priced at $2.99. Whether you're a newcomer or veteran to the series, the game is perfectly enjoyable as a stand-alone title. All you need is a taste for weird puzzles and mild horror. App Store: Here Beat Cop [Total Game Size: 234 MB] ($4.99)Genre: Simulation / Adventure - Offline Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by AlexSem: Beat Cop is a story-based police officer simulator heavily inspired by unrealistically exaggerated '80s cop movies. We play as a former detective who got framed and demoted to a street cop and now has a limited time to restore his good name. Each day starts with a short briefing at the precinct, where we trade jokes and insults with our colleagues before then heading out to patrol the streets and perform various tasks. A typical day involves communicating with different gangs to improve our relationship with them, completing missions assigned by the precinct, issuing parking tickets, chasing perpetrators, and even using lethal force. The interesting part is that we have complete freedom over how to approach each situation. For example, we can abide the law and follow the standard procedures, or grow completely crooked by taking bribes, making deals with the mafia, and abusing our status to our own benefit. There is an interesting story with lots of subplots and weird interactions unfolding throughout the game, including well-written and funny dialogs, colorful characters, and lots of ridiculous situations that our protagonist has to face. The game constantly keeps us on the brink of frustration by not providing enough time to accomplish every task and forcing us to make compromises – but this is exactly what makes the gameplay fun and engaging. Not to mention that the highly-detailed pixel graphics and retro music create a neat immersive atmosphere perfectly fitting the cop theme. Beat Cop costs $4.99. Despite the gameplay getting a bit repetitive, it's overall an easy recommendation for anyone fond of simulator games with great stories and unique gameplay mechanics. App Store: Here Love is... in small things [Game Size: 1.2 GB] (Free)Genre: Puzzle / Story-driven - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review by Pete McD: Love is… in small things is a beautifully-illustrated hidden object game where we follow the story of a young couple throughout 300 levels that each represent another small step in their burgeoning relationship. At the start of each level, we're presented with a black and white sketch of a scene, with a row at the bottom displaying the objects we need to find, such as small hearts, letters, or numbers. As a nice touch, when we tap a correct object, a splash of point colors the area of the image the object was located in. When we've found every object, the rest of the scene gets colored too, and these beautiful paintings can even later be found in the game's gallery. The watercolor style and warm color palette is excellent, and the animated cutscenes between each chapter are similarly classy. The romantic storyline is not usually the kind of thing I enjoy, and there's almost no real plot, but I greatly appreciate the effort that has gone into giving the game some soul. The gameplay becomes repetitive after a while, as nothing new is added and there's no variety in the things we search for. But to be fair, this is perhaps to be expected of this sort of game - especially one that seems focused on showcasing its artwork. A real drawback, however, is the number of ads in the game. In addition to watching ads for hints, they also play in-between levels, and are required to download the art we unlock through achievements. Thankfully, they can all be removed via a one-time $4.99 iAP, which is almost a necessity if you want to enjoy the game. If you are looking for a pleasant and relaxing casual game, you might just end up realizing that 'Love is… in small things'. App Store: Here Dungeon of Gods [Game Size: 260 MB] (Free)Genre: Action / Dungeon Crawler / RPG / Archero-like - Online Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Dungeon of Gods is an Archero-like action RPG where we attempt to survive 10 rooms full of monsters and bosses to move from chapter to chapter while unlocking a ton of gear and huge melee weapons. After clearing a room, we get to pick one of three random upgrades and select between two different rooms to enter next, which defines the type of reward we get for completing the room, such as a potion or a stat boost. We use a joystick to control our character, and when we stop moving, our character dashes between all enemies in range to attack them in one long combo sequence. Unlike most Archero-likes, this makes the combat feel decently satisfying, with each attack packing a real punch. After a while, however, an "auto" mode unlocks, which means we don't even have to manually move around anymore. This turns the game into more of an idle-combat game where we only need to play actively when attempting to defeat new chapters for the first time, after which they can be repeated automatically. We grow stronger by unlocking and upgrading equipment that we acquire through loot boxes opened with tickets earned through gameplay or premium currency that we can purchase or earn for free. We need duplicates to level up our gear, but it's thankfully relatively easy to earn tickets and premium currency. The game also features a few other game modes that unlock as we progress - and a bunch of login rewards and quest systems. Dungeon of Gods monetizes through an energy system, a battle pass, and lots of incentivized ad opportunities. The game also significantly slows down later on, which makes the monetization feel rather punishing. Still, the gameplay ultimately makes it a pretty solid Archero alternative that appeals to those interested in a more interesting combat system. App Store: Here Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds (Game Size: 4.4 GB] (Free)Genre: MMORPG / Action / Auto - Online Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Little (when played auto) tl;dr review by NimbleThor: Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a beautiful 3D MMORPG with five classes and a massive world full of quests and monsters to beat. Although Cross Worlds is an open-world game, it's not a sandbox MMORPG where we explore a vast universe on our own. Instead, we get a story-driven experience with tons of quests that guide us through the game's many systems and help us progress. This is perfect for some players as it creates a very beginner-friendly experience, but it also makes the game feel less open and free. Combat looks and feels interesting, with several weapon types and abilities, but since everything from combat to completing quests is handled by an auto system that is turned on by default, it's unlikely you'll engage in combat before the end-game. In fact, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds feels more like watching a movie than playing a game. Pets and character equipment are both unlocked through gacha systems, and even weapon crafting is entirely randomized. This lack of control over crafting is unfortunate since weapons and enemies all have elemental types, which means we need a large arsenal of specific weapons to optimize combat. It also features everything else you'd expect from a fully-fleshed modern MMORPG, including an insane number of achievements, login rewards, and missions. While these provide a neat sense of progression, I also found them to be a constant interruption that broke the immersion. The art-style looks fantastic, with a distinct cell-shaded look that reminds me a bit of Genshin Impact. The gameplay is very polished too, with a lighthearted humorous story and several interesting and nicely interconnected features – but it's just also fully automated. Monetization happens through subscriptions and lots of iAPs that provide a gigantic pay-to-win advantage. I think the monetization will ultimately be its downfall, but some fans of auto-MMORPGs might still be able to enjoy it at a casual level.

| Posted: 17 Jun 2022 10:42 PM PDT My kids are really into physical hot wheels and a friend of theirs has the official hot wheels game on their tablet, which they now want. I don't mind buying good premium games, but this is… a $60 per year subscription? Are they serious? Anyway, my question is if there are any decent games that are kind of similar that I could purchase. Track building, zooming cars, etc. [link] [comments] |

| Advice for a busy dad looking to unwind Posted: 17 Jun 2022 11:23 AM PDT Any advice is appreciated! Just a busy dad looking to unwind during my free moments. Preferably iPhone > iPad. I generally like strategy games (such as Hearts of Iron or other real time RPGs) but I'm open for other genre suggestions. I'm looking for a game that isn't a crazy level of entry in terms of learning, and something that can be played on my own time. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Games that use gyro (aiming, aka no on screen joystick) Posted: 17 Jun 2022 12:05 PM PDT The last post I saw on this was 3 years ago, so I wanted to ask again Preferably not widely known games like Fortnite/COD [link] [comments] |
| Any way to see what apps I've deleted? Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:34 AM PDT Edit : Solved! Thankyou!! My older ipad has limited hard drive so I've been deleting games to make room for new ones. I'm getting a new ipad soon with a much bigger drive. I've tried different things but I cannot find anything. I know about the app store icon changing from "get" to a cloud with arrow if I've bought / downloaded it before, but short of scrolling thru the entire store looking for that, is there any other way? Thanks [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:26 AM PDT I'm looking to get involved with a new long iOS game for iPhone (so Divinity OS, and the likes of Baldurs Gate don't really fit the bill, since they're basically for iPad) To give an idea: my favourite games are Six Ages, King of Dragon Pass, Sorcery 1-4, Banner Saga. With X-Com 1-2 as honorable mentions. I've been thinking about Star Traders and Crying Suns for some time now, but I can't make up my mind. They seem to look a bit alike, but the gameplay might differ a lot. ST has a loyal fanbase and the Trese Brothers have a great reputation, but the game seems to lack some polish (visually). I've read some complaints about monotony. And I don't know how I feel about the unrealistic combat sequences. Crying Suns seems to be considered a 'FTL with a story'. Never played FTL(since it was iPad only), so I don't know if that's a recommendation for me or not. I reckoned FTL was a frantic real time micromanagement game, that made you hit a pause button a lot. I prefer things a bit more turnbased. Anyway, before insulting either game any more with my ignorance, I was hoping for someone who could give me a direct comparison, that would help me make up my mind. And hey, if neither game is right up my alley, that's fine too. [link] [comments] |
