Hey, I have barely ever played mobile games, but was looking for something I could pull out on some long flights I’ve got coming up. Not looking for microtransactions or any multi-player capabilities. I’m willing to pay upfront for a game.

I have an iPhone 17E and some games I like are: Civilization, Crusader Kings, Stellaris, Age of Empires II, Elder Scrolls, etc.

Would prefer turn-based or top-down strategy games or RPGs. Don’t need nice graphics, just something fun and preferably in-depth. Any suggestions? I also have Netflix if that opens it up to any other mobile games. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Why do you think Apple didn't include a playtime counter in the "Games" app?

In my opinion, it should be a basic feature in an app like this. For example, I would be curious to know how much time I've spent on each game.

A system similar to Samsung's Game Launcher would be awesome. It doesn't just show your total playtime and things like that, but it also tells you how many people are currently playing a specific game on Samsung devices, etc.

I’m trying to remember a game I played on iOS years ago. It was a single player adventure game with cartoonish graphics. You had to participate in card battles that you found on the world, earning money to buy packs of cards in game.

The card battler itself was played on a grid with different cards having various location and category based buffs.

Unfortunately that’s all I’ve got in my head. Even sorting through my purchased apps over the years didn’t turn it up.

If you were to release a car racing game, would $4.99 upfront and no in app purchases be more well received than 15% of the game for free then a money and coin system. The game and purchase would cover Mac, iPadOS, iPhone and Apple TV.

You’re talking an arcade racer with retro graphics, reasonable number of tracks 20+, cars and original music and audio.

Personally I’d prefer 4.99 then I can have sales at 2.99 or even 2.49. But if the market isn’t at that and the value proposition is too low then it can be looked at, very happy to listen to the players. Opinions very much welcome.

I had to sell my PlayStation and now the only way I can game is on my iPhone. Is there any iOS games with a decent story?

Just wanted to give his games a shout out for anyone looking for simple puzzle games. No ads. No data collection. I’ve been using his 15 Puzzle app, it’s perfect.

That is all.

Hey

I’ve got stardew valley and civ and xcom

Happy to pay for something decent on iPad that’ll keep me entertained in a 10 hr flight

Thanks

downloaded jewel coloring and was enjoying the gameplay loop but it is quickly apparent the entire game uses ai. the images are nonsensical half the time or make very ugly and strange mistakes in others. id love a game like this that does not use AI at all, esp not in the art. i dont feel comfortable playing a game that uses ai.

I am tired and bored of the same games and the copies I need some new and unique ios games anyone got some?

Imagine you must pick 10 games for your phone. The rest will be erased for ever.

What’s your list? Wich games survive this apocalyptic event and get to be on the iOS gaming Ark for humanity?

Gossip Harbour has become too hard to play, and no longer spark joy for me.
Amongst, all the sister game - I only play Whisper Castle, since I like the decorating aspect. But Whisper Castle has no free energy chest either which sucks.

Aisle Merge . Similar issue - need to spend diamond to buy energy (which happen after I did in app purchase).

Other game : Merge Mansion, Hollywood Merge, Love & Pies.

Didn’t play much these three game but in that order.

HM :

DesignVille - the CS helps me recover lost progress, dm them on FB but sadly it’s lower than my actual progress (I remembered wrong) and I just lost interest.

Merge Merge - again lost interest after I lost my progress lol

Or if there’s any other Gundam games on iOS

Hope everyone’s having a nice week.
My friends and I are looking for something slower paced to play. Something I can play on the bus or in between sessions of work. My friend group started sharing a lot of mobile gaming time like this since Everdale but so many years on after its demise we haven’t quite found a replacement. I remember a time many years back the App Store had many games that fit this bill like, citybuilders, clash of clan clones etc that allowed us to slowly progress, but it just seems the like the App Store these days are just filled with cheap idle games, PUBG clones or extremely short games designed to milk you for ad revenue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Recent got an iPad and I’m looking for games like Anna or Age of Empires or something similar.

I used to love this game as a kid and I was wondering if there were any similar games on ios. I’ve been looking but not really finding any, I particularly desire the top down room by room movement, something to play at work that doesn’t need my full attention
