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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

Nice ill check it out!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

Osmos is a wonderful meditative game on iPad.

[–] [email protected] 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.

FTL plays great on the iPad

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 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)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dawncaster is excellent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I really loved Data Wing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two dots.

Soothing and fun. The music is incredible, also

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes! Recently re+downloaded it after a year or two and fell in love with the rogue like mode "Path of Champions". Zero pressure, can pause whenever and I'm having fun. Works on PC too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Worldbox, if you're into world-building and minimalist pixel art.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slay the Spire has a decent iOS port

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't see it recommended yet, but Divinity: Original Sin II is great on ipad. If you also have it on steam, you can sync your saves between steam and ipad too.

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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