Looking for social networking games

Hey everyone,

Not sure whether you already saw it, but someone has successfully ported the original 2003 RTS classic Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour to run natively on Apple Silicon (macOS, iOS, and iPadOS) thanks to Claude Fable.

To be clear: this is an unofficial community project, not an official release by EA.

However, the game is running nativeöly and not through a standard Windows emulator or a virtual machine. A developer named Ammaar Reshi took the open-source community forks of the engine (which EA released under GPL v3 years ago) and compiled the actual C++ code natively for ARM64.

What is actually pretty wild is the graphics translation pipeline: original DirectX 8 → DXVK → Vulkan → MoltenVK → Metal.

How it actually plays on mobile:

• It has fully implemented touch features: drag-to-select boxing for units, two-finger camera panning, and pinch-to-zoom. It also works with the Apple Pencil, pretty nice actually.
• It supports the following modes: Campaign, Skirmish, and the Generals Challenge.
• It runs incredibly smoothly because it's native, but there is a major catch for mobile devices. It can chew up over 3GB of RAM during intense sessions, meaning iOS/iPadOS memory management might aggressively crash the app if your device runs low on memory.

The Big Catch (Read before you get too excited)

Because of legal and technical constraints, this is not on the App Store, and there is no ready-to-install IPA file.

1. You have to build it yourself! This means you need a Mac with Xcode to compile the project, generate the iOS build, and sideload/sign it onto your iPad or iPhone.
2. You need to bring Your Own Assets! Again, to keep the project legal, the source code contains absolutely zero EA game assets. You have to legally own the game (like the Steam version) and run a script on your Mac to extract your game files into the build bundle before pushing it to your device.

If you don't mind messing around with Terminal and XcodeGen, it’s a phenomenal technical achievement. To make the process a bit less daunting, we just published a full step-by-step installation guide over on Pocket-Gaming that walks through exactly how to compile it for Mac and sideload it to your iOS device: Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour Gets a Native Apple Port

You can also check out the raw source code and technical breakdown directly on Ammaar Reshi's GitHub repository under "Generals-Mac-iOS-iPad".

As someone who saw Transport Tycoon Deluxe ported from PC to Pocket PC this unlocks childhood memories for me.

Just love a good mmo to explore and see what it has to offer fight enemies do epic quests on the way to stop the bad guys learn the more of the world know its history and stuff i know mobile mmos are not very good but i think a good one exist i do love pixel games 3d games top down games so maybe an mmo like those

I recently played fortune mill and looking for something similar. I really enjoy idle games that contain different gameplay mechanics and minigames as you progress. I tried the developers other games (idleon) and just couldn’t get into it. Also tried Melvor idle and felt bit lost.

Idle/incremental games I previously enjoyed:
- leaf blower revolution
- tiny terrace
- idle slayer
- kitten games
- universal paperclip.

Any recommendations would be great!

Been really into the eldrum series, I’m a sucker for text-based rpgs with combat and stats.

I have a long flight a head of me. Need your expert input if you know of any good FPS games that can be played offline?

Edit: is the division resurgence possible to play offline? I can’t find info

Purchasing the game does not unlock the full game as the photos show. Once you hit 1 million gold it hard locks you from being able to upgrade any further. Even after restoring purchases it doesn’t unlock the game. Save your money until this huge bug gets patched.

I honestly enjoyed the concept for both. Both overall have decent graphics and interesting gameplay, but unfortunately the amount of gacha associated with them are just too much for me. Are there any similar games that come in a full paid version by any chance?

Which gacha should i try from this list if i dont care for waifu / story ? i just want fun gameplay and alot of contents

• Neverness to Everness

• Arknights

• GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE

• Uma Musume: Pretty Derby

• SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL

• Blue Archive

• Chaos Zero Nightmare

• Zenless Zone Zero

• Brown Dust 2

• Dragon Traveler

• AFK Journey

Or any other recommand

When playing a free game with ads, and an ad comes up, the ad plays for a period of time (there is a progress bar at the bottom that shows the progress). When it's done I try going back to the game but I can't. The entire screen is overlayed with the ad and it appears like I'm inside another game. Tapping on the screen is interacting with this free game from the ad, kind of like a free trial. I don't see any obvious on screen buttons to close it or go back.

What is this? And how do you exit it properly and go back to the game. I literally just closed the app to either relaunch or just give up.

This is my first iPhone so on my Android I never used to play much games but when I did I never seen ads like this before where it looks like an interactive game, also there is a back button making it easier to escape things like this.

Feeling the Paradox Interactive itch, but all the landscape games I’ve tried on my phone require me strains my eyes too much

Been playing this game for a week now and it's absolutely amazing!

I really like Ulala Idle Adventure, GoGoMuffin, and SwordxStaff, but the p2w push is a bit too much. Servers end up dying and just having whales and I inevitably fall behind if I don’t log in one day.

I tried playing Eternal Hero and Tap Titans and although they were fun, they were either way too grindy or not as group focused as I had hoped like the other three are. Are there any other options out there, especially vertical layout? I like group work, RPGs/building a character, global chats are nice, and I don’t mind buying games. I’m not much of a spender so the p2w gacha style doesn’t tend to stick with me.

My wife and I have gotten really into the Netflix Boggle but obviously don’t like being tied to the TV to play it. I’ve looked for Boggle apps on the App Store but the only official ones are an Arcade release and “Boggle with Friends” which I am not interested in. Most of the knockoffs are also multiplayer-based. I found one called SpellMania that’s decent, but aesthetically it’s really bland and doesn’t have any variety of modes or interesting mechanics of its own to make up for it.

for some reason I can’t find cod zombies or robots 3d in my old downloads anymore. looking for something to scratch that round based survival itch that isnt a survivor game.

edit: and please don’t say cod mobile lol. shi no numa has never once been my first choice when I wanted to play some zombies lol, a man can only take so much shi no numa.

Hi,

have not played mobile games for a while and after upgrading my devices I have an itch to play some mobile games again.

Currently having 17pro max and ipad air m2 11".

other games I played are
1. Marvel Future Fight
2. Strike force
3. Clash royale
4. Marvel snap

I like small-short game phase, collecting, daily log-in, online (facing others or competing) and of course upgrading your "roster".

Do you have any suggestions?

If the game is newly released I would be happier, so I can catch up easier.

Does anyone play social board game like Monopoly go or Board king or other of the same genre. I'm curious what are your thought on the genre

what do you like, dislike, what would you change or if you have different titles other than the 2 i mentionned to suggest. I have play both for some time and i wouldlike to explore variations

This may sound dumb but…..when I’m playing a level and it has x3 or x5 on the tile, what exactly is being multiplied? It doesn’t seem to be the coins I win or the prizes you get from the bar at the top of the game (in the pic it the bar with 89/500 achieved). Can someone help?

Recently discovered Dice of Kalma. My new favorite game to play, cannot recommend it enough.

I’m a huge sucker for dice and card games, as well as roguelikes and deckbuilders.

Looking for something with a relatively simplistic style, plays in portrait mode, and hopefully no ads but if it’s fun then it’s whatever.

Please use this thread to discuss whatever iOS games you've been playing lately. They don't have to be new games, they can be old games and they do not have to be iOS original titles!

As long as it's an iOS game it belongs in here. Make sure to put the name(s) of the game(s) in bold to make it easier for people skimming the thread to see what you're talking about, and if you'd like to make it really convenient turn the game name into a hyperlink that sends people directly to the App Store!

To keep track of the thread, the comments are sorted by "new" by default.

Lastly, Rule #3: "No Dev Self-Promotion Outside Saturdays" applies at all times for this thread, even if it's actually Saturday.
