- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Played through on Switch, highly recommend this game. Was a pleasure to play, but don't expect any high octane action, it's a very slow paced exploratory experience.
A bit on the short side though.
Yes, but you need to use Cydia Impactor (if you want the latest version anayway) without jailbreaking your device. Keep in mind that only jailbroken devices get access to everything and performance will be limited for some cores.
played it for 30 minutes yesterday... and while I'm normally not very sensitive to framerates etc, it felt pretty rough at times. Freezing, stuttering and things like that.
That was on a 9.7" iPad Pro.
Looks beautiful though, will play more tonight.
Also played about 30 minutes of GRIS on my iPhone X. Frame rate seems buttery smooth, no freezing or other problems so must be better optimized for phones. Controls are simple so no issues there either. And does indeed look gorgeous. Great soundtrack too. So far so good!

Most definitely have not had that issue. No problems with audio so far. That sucks.

As Killercow said, yes it is possible! I was also able to connect two bluetooth controllers even for multiplayer/co-op.
This is what I did, I am not a fan of jailbroken devices, so side loading with Cydia was the route I took.
I am a big fan of retroachivements, and I like that Retroarch supports this where other emulators don't. Being able to kick back and play retro games and on the go is awesome!
DS as in Dualshock or DS as in Nintendo DS? The Dualshock responds very well, no issues for me. If you are referring to the emulator for DS I have not played any DS games yet so I can't comment.
Crazy. It works even with iOS 13? Because when I quickly googled it brought up something about iOS 11
On his podcast, Stacktrace, Rambo says that Apple Arcade can be enabled on 10.15 by modifying some settings within the Mac App Store app. he's not giving away what settings though lol.
Ahah guess I was wrong on this one then! Seems quite weird that Apple wouldn't do some server side check in this.
Guys, do you think if Apple Arcade will be available on 5S considering that it doesn't have iOS 13 support?
Void Tyrant is now in open beta on the Google Play store:
Which also means games will assume a "min spec" of a 6S.
HOLY S***
I didn't notice the name before because I usually recognize people by their avatars but it really is you!
For those not in the know, this is the original mobile gaming thread creator. Before More_Badass took the baton, Tunesmith was in charge of making the monthly mobile gaming threads on the old forum. The first of which was made back in 2012 and started this whole shebang.
EDIT: And now I see that you've been posting in this thread for over a month now. How embarrassing of me 😑
Telling Lies, the spiritual sequel to Her Story by Sam Barlow, has been receiving rave reviews and it's out now on iOS. A must if you like quirky/narrative-driven games:
Very simple rules and structure, but the EP Cards, bonus side quests, permanent armor deck upgrades and town building add some nice depth to alleviate any boredom from the extremely repetitivr gameplay loop.
😄one and the same. Part of me is glad I'm not handing these threads anymore, they took a lot of time! At the same time I don't play nearly enough games on mobile these days to keep up but I check out the threads now and again. I have one mainstay and that's Marvels Contest of Champions but that's about it that I play on the regular. My gaming is mostly on the Switch lately.
Props to More_Badass for keeping the show going smoothly! Dash Kappei helped out at the very beginning as well. If there's one thing I miss it's our monthly iOS game challenges, those were great 👍.
"Real" is a weird term but for ports:
- Dungeon of the Endless
- KOTOR
- Tropico
- The Total War Series
- GRID
- Project Highrise
- Papers Please
- XCOM
- The Witness
- Inside
- Severed
- Darkest Dungeon
- Death Road to Canada
- Banner Saga series
-Talos Principle
- Don't Starve
- Bastion
- Transistor
- Journey
- Oxenfree
Soon:
- Dead Cells
- Company of Heroes
The list could go on for a couple of pages.
Yep, still smooth framerate with no audio bugs on my end too. Great game.
So many to add then! Hard to make a list right now but there are probably hundreds of those.
Did anyone pickup Dream Daddy on iOS? I'm tempted but it costs more than full price on Steam so I dunno.
Yeah played two more hours and I'm absolutely in love.
Perfect controls, sounds, graphics, frame rate....everything.
Also, be sure to set aside 1 Gb for next days/weeks.
Trust me.
Nice. I had no idea this was coming. Question: how is the story presented? Like Her Story was presented on an old computer screen, which is why I was glad I played it on a computer screen (and not iOS). Is it similar this time?
I think it is! Plays great on iOS though and I like that it's portable. Whatever works for you, it's a great game anyways!
Hmm. That is a good point. I have a work trip this week and this might be a nice game to play evenings in the hotel... I loved Her Story even if I don't know I understood it:) Thanks
How can you not understand it? She
was her own mother, sending messages from the future to prevent her granddaughter who is also her daughter from murdering herself. Obviously!
I really loved it so I'm definitely going to play Telling Lies.
I was about to post that Kingdom New Lands was right up my alley, as I'm really into games which have lots of upgrades of some sort and also visibly show the upgrades (e.g. armor, weapons, evolution, castles, ..)
But after having rolled my eyes a few dozens times as my horse kept huffing and puffing when it lost its stamina, and after having lost all my progress twice after getting jumped by two or three small enemies.. nah. I'm gonna do a few more runs, and then I'm out.

Retroarch is the best for that! Cydia Impactor means that it's always with your (specifically created AppleID) and they've also got the best and latest updated emulators without that ads bullcrap.
I've tried the DS one that I hadn't in a while and it's finally perfect on my Pro, complete with, finally, synchronised sound.
I'm itch to looking for the best RPG action, like Diablo-style or similar to Fallout. but I don't know where to start.
Just completed GRIS.
If you are even slightly interested, you must buy it and play till completion (took me around 5 hours, but I miss some secrets).
Even just the ending is so good, still have goosebumps.
Absolute masterpiece, I'm so glad I waited to buy it on PC and Switch hoping it will come to iOS (flawless port btw).
If not for another game I can't talk about, would be easily my GOTY, and it's close anyway/I'm undecided (but I have more than 100 hours on the other one).
Also, it was MUCH more game than I expected reading some articles about it.
Some clever puzzles too.
Highly recommended.

I don't know if this is relevant to this thread but I am so hooked on this cellphone game called Archero. Anyone else play this?
Guys at work recommended it to me. In many ways it epitomises everything that's wrong with cynical mobile gaming monetisation but the gameplay and upgrade cycle is so addictive. Though I haven't spent a penny on it and still making good progress. I do let the ads play sometimes though.

-Titan Quest
-Eternium
-Battleheart Legacy
-The Greedy Cave
Yeah, it has a pretty fun gameplay loop but I don't stay for very long with games that have an energy mechanic.
I actually managed Thread 2 (which Duckroll wiped when it reached 20.000 posts, or at least I can't find it, to make "Thread 2: Part Two") Thread 3 (iirc I was banned -lol- so Flunkie posted it on my behalf) and Thread 4. We're talking 9 years ago!
Really, exciting times for mobile gaming, but the best part for me was coming up with the idea of the iOS community membership via Game Center (and Open feint, rip) and I *loved* organizing the weekly challenges and even more I loved taking part in the high-score chasing. You helped a GREAT deal with your art/photoshop skills! :)
Met so many great people thanks to those, many great devs (Skybound, PikPok/Sidhe, Rovio...) and people I'm still friends with today. I still have that TWD Volume 1 signed and by Kirkman prize that you guys wanted me to have, and I cherish it for the memories more than the item itself :)
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Thanks! I'll look into on it. And what about any rogue-like games like The Binding of Isaac?
