What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible)
I haven’t had a lot of time to do much console gaming lately but I still would love to have a “go to” mobile game that I can whip out and progress a few levels or grind a few items or knock out a battle or match or two.
Interested to know what games have grabbed you and held your attention lately?
I love Mini Motorways, but it requires an Apple Gaming subscription.
The other game I’ve been hooked on lately is Tiny Towers.
The good: it’s chill, and it doesn’t force any ads on you unwittingly. There’s even a setting to turn off video ad offers, which makes it even easier to avoid ads.
Downsides: it’s F2P with micro transactions. That being said, it’s 100% possible to play without paying a cent.
If you like deck building game, Dawncaster is very good with constant updates to add things (cards, abilities, game mode) and fix balance issues. It's on the easier side on default difficulty, but there is hard and higher one if you want. Also two expansions if you want more cards/areas, but without those there're still plenty of things to try as I've played 50 hours without expansions.
The F2P stuff rarely if ever get me but some of the premium games are very nice. Teeny Titans, Rebuild, Dungeon Maker, Dungeon Princess, Dungeon Squad, Pocket City, and Monument Valley are all very good games, especially on mobile.
The only F2P game that is keeping my interest is Marvel Snap but the monetization is really pushing me off.
I was deep into Genshin for a bit, but fell off the wagon a few months ago. I download Star Rail, and dug it! But time got away from me and I haven't returned for a while. Maybe I'll dive back in!
Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Turn based so you can pick it up and put it down. A lot of depth and learning how to exploit the items to best effect. Random level generation, so good replay ability. Fixed price, no monetization.
If you don't mind that's an anime-style "cute girls doing cute things" game (but with "guns") Blue Archive isn't that time consuming to play, and the storyline, music, and art are very good.
Marvel Snap, though while the gameplay is fun the monetization is getting a bit out of hand. I think it can still turn around, though. I’m more of a DC guy myself too!
I also do a lot of crosswords haha. I have Magic Arena downloaded but I don’t really enjoy playing standard.
Finally I have been getting back into Pokémon go a little bit. My partner recently picked it back up too!
All puzzle games by Rainbow Train and Hamster on Coke Games are my absolute 10/10 go-to mobile games. Hook 1 & 2, Klocki, Push, Up Left Out, Naboki, OXXO, Scalak. Also Traffix which is an arcade-puzzle mix.
Rotaeno, it's a rhythm game that uses the gyroscope of your phone making it one of the more unique mobile rhythm games out there, granted the anime artstyle can be off-putting for some
Idle Slayer is really cool. Love the art and the progression is fun! Also one of the few "idle" games that you can actually play. It's a simple platformer, but you earn while the game is off and upgrade and change the play style.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a cool rogue-lite game with great mobile controls. Even if you don't have much time, it saves your run's progress so you can do a few floors here and there.
