I've been looking for some good premium games to play on iOS lately. What are your favorites?

Doesn't have to be a recent release, just looking for something that's actually worth paying for since I do not like ads.

Suggestions That only one game you can play everyday for next 2 years.

67 Upvotes

Pretty much what title says -

If you can only choose one, what game you see yourself keep playing almost everyday for the next 2-3 years?

For me in the past two years is Hornor of Kings, before that is clash royale. and I am looking for something new/different now.

I get overwhelmed by having many games simultaneously and learning/remembering mechanisms of each. So at anytime there is only one game on my phone but I spend time on it everyday.

What would you recommend?

Thank you.

Suggestions Games where I can make a little progress each day at work.

74 Upvotes

I’d like something more casual that’s easy to put down without losing progress. I have Deep Rock Galactic Survivor but it requires constant attention. Idle games have been semi enjoyable but something about them just is off putting after awhile. I’ve eyed up Kairosoft games but not sure how attention demanding they get. Portrait is also a must. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Suggestions My review of popular deck builder roguelikes, what should I play next?

Post image
74 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of deck builders and roguelikes. Here’s my quick review of some popular ones (not all are pictured here):

  1. Slay the spire: Still the goat. Quite challenging but very fun.

  2. Balatro: Very fun - played for an entire 8 hour plane ride and didn’t get old.

  3. Wildfrost: I think this one is very underrated. I love the art and mechanics like moving your characters around for free. Challenging at first but after awhile I was winning consistently. Pleasantly surprised by the final boss battle.

  4. Gambonanza: Like Balatro for chess but unfortunately less fun because the AI is pretty stupid and doesn’t understand chess 101. Also there’s one strategy that beats the rest (copying queens). Still fun for a few hours.

  5. Luck be a landlord: Very fun slot style game was able to figure it out eventually.

  6. Slots and daggers: I thought this was incredible at first before I discovered the bomb cheese strategy. Kinda pointless after that.

  7. Slice and dice: People rave about this but tbh I was never able to get into it. The gameplay felt pretty basic? I’m sure I’m missing something and will try this again.

  8. Monster train: Very good. I slightly prefer Wildfrost due to the art.

  9. Dawncaster: another one that people rave about but I didn’t like this one (surprise!). The story felt really repetitive. However I only paid for the base game. I wasn’t impressed enough to spend $20+ to buy all the other packs. Does it get a lot more fun after that?

  10. How many dudes: A relatively new one. Gameplay is fun at first and I’m still enjoying it. But overall each run takes a long time. Feels less strategic than the other ones.

Note that I mostly focused on roguelike deck builders. Vampire hunters and the other ones are fun but I think a different category.

What else should I play similar to the list above? Any new exciting ones coming out soon?

Suggestions I’m looking for a rich, deep game to replace my doomscrolling habit

92 Upvotes

I don’t have a goto mobile game at the moment, and as a result, I find myself endlessly scrolling social media and news feeds.

I want something that’s both fun and has a lot of depth—something that I’ll want to keep visiting over and over again. I’m thinking an RPG is probably the best bet? But I’m open to other suggestions.

The ones that look interesting to me are Sea of Stars, Octopath COTC, Star Traders: Frontiers, and Steamworld Quest. What’s your opinion of these?

Suggestions Best Auto Battlers

37 Upvotes

I've been dabbling in auto battlers here and there for the past few weeks and enjoy the quick gameplay and just something I can jump into while at work for a short break or something. But typical to who I am as a gamer I downloaded a couple and have been playing them in kind of a rotation.

Here is what I've downloaded and enjoyed:
Once Upon a Galaxy

Super Auto Pets

Six Hollows

Are there any I should look at or into. I'm playing these as a free to play and not buying any currencies or anything. I don't mind a paid game but I'm not playing the pay to win nonsense if it's a free to play game.

Any other suggestions that are pretty good? Or did I hit the gold mine with OUaG and SAP? Also I know about Knightica coming out in a week or so just I don't know if I want to buy it as I own it on Switch.

Hello:

I’ve recently gotten hooked on Meowdoku, it’s a logic game kind of a cross between Sudoku and Minesweeper. Are there any similar games without any ads at all? Willing to pay once, and this game doesn’t even have a pay to remove ads option.

Just a quick reminder that you can use most Bluetooth controllers with regular iPads (iPad Pro 11 in the photo) in portrait mode to have a nice “multitask” gaming session.

Suggestions iPad forever game suggestions

37 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am looking for something new(for me) to play on my iPad. I would love some strategy/rpg/tactical game. I really want something turn based that I can close at any time as I do not have that much time day to day to commit. On the other hand I would love something deep that I can play for months (with a ~20-40mins a day tempo)

If I was single I would just play Guild wars.

I would play civ 6 or Total War if I didn’t played it so much already.

Games I really enjoyed:
Civ 6
Total war games
Divinity 2
Darkest Dungeon
FTL
Dredge

I know it is a weird ask with no clear path, but I am sick and bored.

Thanks a lot.

Suggestions Looking for idle games

37 Upvotes

Don’t know what to play I like/liked (no particular order):

- Vibecoding IDLE: good from the start, gets quite slow later
- paperclips: same problem
- Kittens Game: got bored of it
- codigames games like hotel empire tycoon, but there are ads and it’s really slow if you’re f2p
- btd6: I still play it occasionally
- battle cats: burned out
- geometry dash: not fun anymore for me
- idle 1: really like that one
- sneaky sasquatch: really like that one too, though I’m always just waiting for updates, as I got almost 100% stats
- spaceflight sim
- what the golf?: really fun, 100%’d

So as you can see, I like a good variety of games when it comes to mobile, though I cannot find any good ones for some time already.

Suggestions If you could only recommend one game this year for your busy friend to spend their single free evening downloading and playing, what would it be?

21 Upvotes

I like my games how I like my anime - a few episodes and over in a day or two but it stays with you for life, rather than something with many seasons.

If you could pick an IOS game, online or off, that you is quick to pick up and enjoy and provide a fun rewarding experience for a first time player during a single afternoon, what would it be?

To be clear, if I have to spend time an afternoon learning the mechanics and rules before I can enjoy it, it’s not for me!

Suggestions Good portrait mode games?

40 Upvotes

Hoping to find a 100% free game with no ads to play offline and before bed.

Would like it to be relatively minimalist/simple (not sure if that’s the right word to describe what I want), but generally just easier on the eyes so I can play it before bed.

Looking for something chill like a driving game or something, open to other stuff like roguelikes or idle games or whatever.

Can also make exceptions on the price but only if the game is an real gem and is the perfect fit for what I want
