I installed and played a lot of ios games in 2017 since I ride the bus an hour and back for work. Most were awful or were good games that just sucked on the iphone form factor. I’ve got a huge and awkward V6+ which is nearly a mini ipad– but not nearly big enough for many of these games. Here’s what I suffered from so you don’t have to.
Dungeon Warfare
Solid tower defense that works very well on the phone, worth the purchase.
Mordheim
This was interesting for a short time, but became so samey as to not be worth bothering with due to samey maps and missions.
A Planet of Mine
I got stuck twice early game with no way to create mines to mine the thing I needed to make mines, which was not fun.
Really Bad Chess
It’s chess with random pieces so theory has no place at all in the game, which I appreciate, but it’s still just chess.
Hero Generations Regen
This is a simplistic roguelike where your heroes get old, have babies and the babies grow up to go fight monsters, thought it was cool for about a day and then got very bored.
Vempire Kings of Darkness
Deckbuilder with vampires, this actually may end up being a game I play more of, but it just made me want to go play Ascension more.
Neoscavenger
This seems like a GREAT game, but it’s absolutely terrible on any size phone.
Iron Marines
This is good and works surprisingly well on the phone but, you will need to get your fucking face real close to the screen to play.
Out There
Sort of interesting, but it’s FTL basically and works well on the phone.
Lost Portal
I’m not dying to get to play a MTG clone, and Ascension is just better.
