Agent Intercept got a huge update finally adding a story mode. I always liked the game but the lack of content was always a big problem to me. Time to redownload it!

Hey all. Just got my SE and I'm looking For recommendations for a good RPG, not necessarily a rogue like, to play on a smaller screen. I've got a ton of great RPG's on my iPad but some, like Final Fantasy tactics, are almost undecipherable on the SE's 4.75" screen.

Something fairly deep, turn base combat,Ideally, would be awesome. Premium is preferred.

Thanks, all!

On top of this, Overland got an update with some small new content but a huge list of fixes and Marble it Up got new multiplayer modes, challenges, content and a singleplayer world.

Edit: Turn Based RPG The_Otherside is this week's Apple Arcade title.

Just tried it and it's pretty cool. The fact that it seems to be you replaying random levels without a fixed structured might dampen my enjoyment but we'll see.

Glad you enjoyed it and are giving it another shot. The Story Mode was always planned, and we have had a full team working on the game since launch who have been busily adding features and content. We've generally put out an update every month since launch, and will be continuing that cadence until at least the end of the year.

I gotta say; I want to hate Mario Kart World Tour but it's honestly an enjoyable experience. I like the driver proficiencies forcing you out of your comfort zone.

Would a premium version with all the live events be better? Of course. Would I prefer controller support? For sure.

Is it a fun portrait-mode arcade racer? Hell yes!

Last week, I replayed Tormentum - Dark Sorrow for the first time. And it was just as gorgeous as I remembered it. The Giger-esque hellish landscapes and the monstrous creatures.. it's just beautiful. Check it out if you're a fan of this artstyle and/or point'n'click games.

And while searching for pictures to include in this post, I learned that a sequel is supposed to be released this year. Fuck yeah.

Is there controller support? I don't see it listed on the store page. Otherwise, this looks right up my alley.

Stolen from Reddit but the premium IAP to remove ads for this game is free today (Normally $4.99). Don't be swayed by it being a "political" game. It's pretty funny and balanced. This is a great Punch Out inspired game.

‎Election Year Knockout: Boxing

‎Create your own political party, lace up your boxing gloves, and punch your way to the White House in Election Year Knockout! In a country torn apart by its political divide, the nation has resorted to boxing to settle its differences. Fight your way through hilarious political opponents before...

On another note, I'm shocked by how good KartRider Rush+ is. I hate Nexon on the whole but this game destroys Sega's Sonic Racing on Apple Arcade. I'm just playing through the Story Mode and haven't felt any need to spend money. Feels pretty generous. So much more full featured than Sonic.

‎KartRider Rush+

‎The kart racing sensation enjoyed by over 300M players worldwide is back and better than ever with more style, more game modes, more thrill! Race with friends or just play it solo through a variety of gameplay modes. Collect and upgrade iconic characters and karts from the KartRider universe...

Finally decided to give this a try after reading IGN's 9/10 review of it. I have a hard time getting into CCGs that are complex but this is great so far. Approachable for noobs but deep enough to have to keep learning. F2P seems fair so far.

I'm debating between dead cells and sword of ditto. I'm gonna play on a controller. I think I'm leaning ditto but I'm worried that it's kind of unfinished. It seemed like it had some issues when it first came out, has it been updated to be better or was the coverage back then missing stuff?

Apparently the game was a little unforgiving at launch with permadeath, a forced time limit, and obtuse dungeon puzzles. But Mormo's Curse update fixed all of that and it's a much better game compared to release.

Might not be the right place to ask this, but I need iCloud/Game Center help. Am I wrong in thinking that my game progress should sync across my phone and iPad in Apple Arcade games? I owned my iPad first and when In switched my phone to iOS and linked my account I assumed my game progress would come over. But the only game that seems to work is Archero of all things. Even simple stuff like Word Laces expects me to restart on my phone.

I just started playing Subscribe To My Adventure after having a browse through my recommended games - it's fun so far. Themed like a fantasy style twitch/facebook where you're an adventurer live-streaming your adventures and you have to balance your regular attacks/defence with doing actions which will increase the excitement level of your viewers and gain you more subscribers. The art style is great and the theming plays really well. Not sure how much depth there is as I've only been playing through the story for a little while but I'm enjoying it.

Anybody knows if the game Ghost Tricks is still working on modern Android phones?

I'm not seeing it on the App Store but it could have been pulled for license reasons or whatever..

I've been thinking about playing that game again but doesn't look like there's any ways to play it on a modern system?

Yeah the DS game. It was also released on mobile later on.
Huh, had no idea it came to android at some point, I assumed it was iOS exclusive.

If you owned the android version I wouldn't see any harm in using a DS emulator+rom to play it. Havent used one in a long time but I've heard they run well on Android phones.

Saw the dev say on Twitter that saves are local.


Thanks.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I have never found a clear answer online:

If I get a new iPad in a couple of years, and restore from my iCloud backup of this one without deleting any games etc... will the save games carry over?

I seem to recall they didn't in the early days of iOS unless you used your PC / iTunes (not an option these days) but things have moved on and now I am seeing some comments suggesting they do as the App Data carrys over if you restore from the iCloud backup of the iPad.

It's why I like iCloud saves, progression carry's over like it does on Steam or Xbox no matter the device. Stuff like FTL and Door Kickers that have long unlock progression but no cloud saves are the type I am thinking of.

The saved data should be restored from iCloud. The only things that aren't part of the iCloud backup are the apps themselves.

I've seen exceptions though. Someone recently posted that they restored a backup and Google Authenticator had lost its data. I don't know if that's an intentional security measure from Google, or that Google are shit and aren't conforming to iOS standards.

This week Cobra Mobile (iBomber, Red Kingdom) returns with "Towers of Everland" as this week's Apple Arcade Title. Also updates for Hot Lava (new area), Sonic Racing (new team-based mode and a new track) and Outlanders (Sandbox mode).

Quite liked what I played from Outlanders so curious to see a more fleshed out mode.

All I want from Sonic Racing is a career mode and they keep with multiplayer only. Ughh.

Guess I'll stick with the sadly much better KartRider Rush+ that has a full campaign and haven't felt the need to spend a dime.
