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

[–] zef@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Cayenne05dingos@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] preppietechie@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Cayenne05dingos@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

Nice ill check it out!

[–] fbievan@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] fbievan@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Jxn@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Osmos is a wonderful meditative game on iPad.

[–] oomphaloompha@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Cayenne05dingos@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] bikesarethefuture@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FTL plays great on the iPad

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Heisl@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve put quite some time into Bloons TD 6. Definitely addicting.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] philomory@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Dawncaster is excellent.

[–] Bells@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

I really loved Data Wing.

[–] kspatlas@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] oomphaloompha@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Unciv, an open-source Civilization V remake.

[–] blast25@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ivy@fedi196.gay 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RedForFred@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I started it on the PC and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Really fun game!

[–] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Two dots.

Soothing and fun. The music is incredible, also

[–] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

picross is fun there's gotta be some picross type games on the ios side

[–] AnonArdvark@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Harry Potter: Magic awakened Looks to be pay to win, but that hasn't affected me yet. Kind of like Clash Royale

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] LukasT@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slay the Spire has a decent iOS port

[–] Domiku@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] verycoolusername@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] bl4kers@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GhostMagician@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] Mot@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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.
