Stardew Valley. Loved to play it on long haul flights, doesn't need Internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The good news (for iOS people) is that it’s coming to Apple Arcade in July (for the 10 people that hadn’t bought it yet).

Dead Cells! Best mobile port of a PC/Console game I've ever encountered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I put it on my list, do you have any online multiplayer games you like?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not for mobile really. Actually maybe Gwent? Wasn't my thing but a lot of people love it!

Currently on my phone:

Civilization VI Civilization Revolutions 2 Into The Breach Mini Motorways Shovel Knight Dig Slay the Spire Grindstone

As a Final Fantasy fan, I've been buying games on PC instead of mobile when I have the choice, but I just started Final Fantasy Dimensions the other day, which is exclusive to iOS and Android, and I'm having a good time.

Nice ill check it out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I really like Data Wing. Cool top-down 2D arcade racing game with a cool story, free with no ads. It's obvious a heap of passion was poured into the game. Still my favourite mobile game.

EDIT: I use Android so I'm not sure it's on the Apple Appstore but I don't see why it wouldn't be

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I verified its on the ios app store, last updated 4 years ago tho :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shadow fight 2 (paid version) and also The Silent Age (thankfully Google bard reminded me of the name of this game)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

These 2 games are by far the best mobile games I played

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Dawncaster is excellent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The only mobile game I've spent any amount of time with was You Must Build a Boat. It's a bejeweled clone with dungeon crawling and RPG elements. It's dirt cheap and has no ads or in-app transactions. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Osmos is a wonderful meditative game on iPad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ooh I totally forgot this one! Osmos is seriously an amazing game, one of my favorite games of all time.

FTL plays great on the iPad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Great game, and sophomore release Into The Breach by the same studio is also available on iPad visa Netflix Games

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Slice and Dice is a very fun strategy rougelike, kind of a mix of DnD and Yhatzee.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Pathos - Nethack Codex, a very playable traditional roguelike based on Nethack.

Unciv, an open-source Civilization V remake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Simon Tathams Puzzles is a free (and ad-free) collection of simple puzzle games. Great for mindlessly wasting hours starting into your phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This has pretty much been with me ever since I got my first Android phone. Simple but such a great variety of puzzles. Doesn't get enough love.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I really loved Data Wing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Juno new origins is a good game, just make sure your ipad doesn't light on fire

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

20 minutes till dawn. You kill stuff and build around your character trying to survive for 20 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Worldbox, if you're into world-building and minimalist pixel art.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

mindustry is my fav

it's a crazy good combo of resource management, tower defense, rts, and sandbox creativity

added bonus that it's open source and even has multi-player

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Two dots.

Soothing and fun. The music is incredible, also

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Waking Mars! An incredible short sci fi game with a nice story

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

For reference, this game is only on iOS and PC (Steam/GOG)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Legends of Runtera. Probably the most user friendly free to play card game. You don't buy booster packs, you buy the cards you want directly and can get enough recourses by simply playing often.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slay the Spire has a decent iOS port

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I play it on iPad, but have found the touch controls to be a little off (for lack of better description). You'd think that flinging cards should feel great on a touchscreen, but I'm never quite sure if they're going to activate the way that I want.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I tried a lot, but what felt best was emulating Nintendo DS games that could be played entirely with a stylus. Touch friendly so feels native, but also has benefit of not having ads or attempts to up sell you on a bunch of items that has come to plague a lot of mobile games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I finally got around to emulating Breath of Fire 4, though I restarted to play on the computer since some friends were interested in watching.

  • Alto's Adventure
  • Kingdom Rush
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Which Kingdom Rush? Not sure which one people like or play the most
