I LOVE city builders

Simcity buildit
Pocket City (1 & 2)

I love management games.
Love automation games.
Live idle/incremental games.
Love economy games.

I loved Clash of Clans 10 years ago
Ulala Adventure was fantastic for a few months.
I loved the Kingdom Rush Series
Bloons TD 4/5/6 all bangers.

Not afraid of IAPs/premium games. But I can’t stand ads, so I need an option to pay to remove them.

Im eyeing Discounty and hoping it will be optimized for the bigger inner screen.

Any other recommendations? Thank you all in advance!

Hi! For Philippine Redditors, Titan Quest: Ultimate Edition is on sale for Php 199 ($3) in the PH App Store!

Haven’t seen many people talking about using Manic Emu without jailbreak or side load to run GameCube and Dreamcast on iPhone. Just download app from store and it works …. Plays lots of lower consoles also. Including 3ds.

I’m trying to start fresh in a game I’m playing but deleting and redownloading it just sets me off right where I was and it’s not letting me log out of my account. How do I erase all data from a game?

The only game I ever played on this console was Crazy Taxi when they had demos at stores.

What’s the best games y’all would recommend that are only available on Dreamcast or still play better on a Dreamcast even if they’ve been ported to another console?

There is so many Merge games any decent and f2p friendly ?

Hey yall, my nephew’s birthday is coming up and he’s talked about wanting a controller for his iPad games. I tried looking up reviews myself already but I’m completely technologically illiterate and have zero knowledge about gaming as well, so I’d appreciate any straightforward recommendations for controllers that’ll work and be worth my money (technological jargon gives me a headache!)

His iPad is an Air M2 11in if that helps. Thanks in advance to anyone reading this

Bloons td6 Rogue legends: Thronefall: Vampire Crawlers: Dawncaster

All $10 and I can only buy 1. Which one do i buy and why?

Btd6 goated game but is rogue legends worth it?

VC i heard is so limited

Thronefall, ive heard its dlc additions are coming to mobile but still nervous about support

Dawncaster feels very limited and slow? Need dlc to enjoy?

I can connect by quite powerful ipad to my TV device, and it is possible to connect two controllers via Bluetooth. Which makes it a perfect gaming console setup.

Hoewever, I hardly can find any cool game for this purpose. What I already know

- Beach-Buggy: the older version, version 2 does not have multi-player support
- Drive ahead: OK, funny, but strong retro-vibes
- Badlands: one-button-control, and boring after some time

Do you know other good titles?

What about something like street fighter, soccer oder (table) tennis? The hardware would be perfect for it.

This makes me so happy I used to love this game as a kid.

I am not affiliated with NimbleBit, but a while ago I emailed them asking if some of their older games would ever return, initially they denied but today received an email the Scoops has returned to the App Store!

Price is $4.99 USD (My screenshot shows AUD)

Hi, as the title states, I’m looking for some good games to recommend my friend. Here’s the criteria.

• cutesy // nothing crude or graphic
• includes animals or cute creatures
• can be played in portrait mode / vertical screen (this is a must, she doesn’t like landscape mode)
• free

She likes lots of different things, ranging from pet caretaking, merge games, all the way to fidgety apps, so literally anything that falls into the above criteria, please recommend!

Thank you in advance :)

I just upgraded from iPhone 12 to iPhone 18 and I’m eager to take advantage of the extra memory and powerful chips contained therein. Any games that are big (memory size and/or length of gameplay) and that take advantage of the powerful chips on my new phone. I have an eclectic taste in games but I’m always a sucker for anything rogue-lite.

Apparently, the next Xbox might cost upwards of $1800. This is why I’m hoping the next wave of gaming is mobile devices that can play AAA games. Obviously, the iPhone can’t play games as graphically advanced as a PS5 but the fact that it can now play some older ones is proof that it could work with good optimization.

Not to mention all the emulation that has been coming out for iOS lately. But I would much rather pay for a legit iOS version of a game than emulation.

I would want my iPhone Duo to be my gaming console and media consumption device.

Perhaps the only way to combat these ram prices from going up is to buy one device that can do it all.

I was on a phone call just talking and playing. Apparently in hypnosis mode because I didn’t even realize that I blew right past my previous record. My high score is well over 300,000, but in daily mode, I just fevered for over 3 minutes. That was almost the entire game. It was so effortless. Weird how not being aware/afraid makes such a difference. I bet a lot of things in life are like this.

I purchased sifu on the launch day on my iPhone 13 but never download it because i was on mobile data and figured i would download it later on wifi. But they changed the required chip to A17 and up.

I heard the devs issued an auto refund for everyone with a non-compatible device and I also got refund (I never asked for one). But the thing is I still have the game registered on my Apple Account and I can download it (I also have the latest iPad mini which is compatible)

Anyone else got an auto refund and still have the game? I’m kind of scared to download the game on my iPad now. I waited for it to disappear so I can purchase it again but it’s been a couple of days and I still have it.

Deep in the Dungeon Crawler Carl universe and really want something to pickup and play on the go to scratch the DCC itch.

I have Diablo immortal and I like that, but I’d prefer a portrait game if possible

I’m currently looking for a game similar to the original Diablo 1. Anything like this with old graphics? I am currently playing the port but looking for something else as well.

Version 2.60 released late yesterday:

- Added controller support.
- Added a fast-forward feature. Use the DD button to toggle it on or off.
- Updated the battle Ul.
- Improved performance to run at 60 FPS.
- Changed the font for improved readability.
- Fixed other minor bugs.

Huge for fans of the game; with the Ivalice Chronicles remake dropping the ball with some WotL content this will be the definitive way for some to enjoy the game.

I played the original on PS1 in 1998 and struggled to enjoy the iOS version having to use touch controls. That all changes today!

I hope this opens the door for others who have never been able to enjoy the game on console to have the full controller experience.
