Looking for games to play on the ipad, what do you guys recommend

35

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).

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.

Currently on my phone:

Civilization VI Civilization Revolutions 2 Into The Breach Mini Motorways Shovel Knight Dig Slay the Spire Grindstone

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

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

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

Osmos is a wonderful meditative game on iPad.

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

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.

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

Unciv, an open-source Civilization V remake.

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

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

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

Slay the Spire has a decent iOS port

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
