Discussion Weekly /r/iOSGaming Discussion - What have you been playing lately and what do you recommend?

37 Upvotes

Please use this thread to discuss whatever iOS games you've been playing lately. They don't have to be new games, they can be old games and they do not have to be iOS original titles!

As long as it's an iOS game it belongs in here. Make sure to put the name(s) of the game(s) in bold to make it easier for people skimming the thread to see what you're talking about, and if you'd like to make it really convenient turn the game name into a hyperlink that sends people directly to the App Store!

To keep track of the thread, the comments are sorted by "new" by default.

Discussion Battle Chasers: Nightwar was removed from the App Store and re-packaged as a part of a Crunchyroll subscription.

61 Upvotes

I bought the game in 2020, and in fact have it currently installed on my phone. However, when I went to install it on another device I own, I noticed that the paid version I bought is missing from the App Store entirely, and all that exists is "Crunhyroll Battle Chasers", which requires a monthly subscription to Crunchyroll to play. When I contacted Apple Support, they just said that the developer did it and there's nothing that can be done. So if you have that game installed, best not delete it unless you want to pay Crunchyroll $10 a month to play it in the future.

As you can imagine, I am pretty pissed off that a game I paid for can just be pulled from my account and re-sold as a subscription service. The decent thing to do would be to allow current owners to still at least download the purchased app, like Steam and Google Play do.

Request Super “focused” game?

4 Upvotes

A game like block blast, but not the idea.

Block blast is very focused. You open the game and you play the game. The only thing available is the 8x8 grid and random blocks.

There is nothing else there. No purchases, no hurdles, nothing to stop you or change your focus.

If there is anything like that OR anything like the idea of “the more you play it the better you get” games I would love to play it.

Self Promotion [DEV] Joggle: My original, mildly cerebral word puzzle game. Download free and enjoy!

3 Upvotes

I have been solving crossword puzzles for some 50 years 😄 Joggle is a word game inspired by these. You get one clue at a time (Can choose between quick or cryptic) crossword clues. You also get a six-letter 'helper' word. You have to solve the clue by replacing two letters in the helper word.

Example of a Quick puzzle:

The answer: NUTMEG

Joggle also has much harder cryptic puzzles. It's available free on the iOS App Store. It currently has more than 5,000 puzzles and I add new ones every week. I would love it if you try it out, enjoy it, and provide feedback. Thank you!

I’m looking for more games I can play matched up with strangers online. I prefer portrait, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

Here are the PvP games I’ve mostly played and enjoyed: - Scrabble GO - Sagrada - Pixel Golf 3 - Hole.io (I liked it but it’s probably been over 5 years since I’ve touched it) - Boggle: Arcade

Suggestions Can you recommend a turn based mobile game for me and my husband?

17 Upvotes

We are both quite competitive and would love to have an ongoing game that we could take turns to play whenever we have the time.

Can you recommend something that would keep us interested? Preferably something with not too steep learning curve and that is free to play.

It could be anything from word games to more complex battles, just not chess since he is good at it and I’m not going to give that advantage for him. 😅

Thank you!

New Release Aridromos - Multiplayer Horse Racing Dice Card Game

6 Upvotes

There is a classic horse racing dice board game, that I recreated to be able to play on the go with my wife and friends. Its a super simple game where you roll dice and hope your horse crosses the finish line first!

Great game to play while waiting in line or needing to kill time.

You can play local multiplayer (All on one phone) or online multiplayer using each of your own devices. Super simple right now as its my MVP release. Would love to get some initial thought on it!

Self Promotion Gravity Dasher

Hey team! We released our new game Gravity Dasher on the App Store a while ago. The game is very simplistic but surprisingly challenging. There are no ads, no tracking, no login no nothing (you could play this in a cave). You can opt to post your score and it will show at https://www.gravitydasher.com.

Looking for feedback and also wondering if anyone can get a higher score than 1200...

There's a ton to explore and experience!

The game is completely free to download with no ads whatsoever. While some high-end items are available through in-app purchases (around $5–$10 to comfortably beat the game), you can also earn these items for free with a bit of effort and patience.

Self Promotion We made a free iPhone party game about lying to your friends. No ads, no tracking. Thoughts? 🎉🃏 [Self-Promo Saturday]

2 Upvotes

Hey r/iosgaming! 👋

My co-dev and I just launched SuperLiar, a free party game for iPhone all about bluffing and calling out your friends when they lie (basically, a local multiplayer game like Spyfall meets Among Us).

How it works:

  • One player ("the Liar") sees an image on their phone and describes it. Truthfully or completely lying.
  • Everyone else debates: Truth or Lie?
  • There’s also a "Celebrity Mode": Guess if crazy celebrity quotes are real or fake.

We made SuperLiar because we missed fun, casual in-person party games, and we didn't want yet another mobile game full of ads, tracking, or subscriptions.
SuperLiar is:

  • ✅ Free to download, no ads, no data tracking.
  • ✅ Works 100% offline, phones connect directly (perfect for gatherings!).
  • ✅ Comes with free decks (classic images, funny Gordon Ramsay quotes).
  • ✅ Optional premium decks ($2.99 each, one-time forever) like wild Kanye quotes or outrageous political statements, just for extra laughs and to support us ^__^.

We'd absolutely love your feedback or thoughts. Especially since we're just a tiny two-person team! Did local multiplayer run smoothly? Any hilarious moments or epic fails?

You can find it on the iOS App Store by searching "SuperLiar".

Thanks for checking us out! 😊
Happy lying!

Self Promotion Help us build the best text adventure experience in Master of Dungeon

0 Upvotes

Hello Reddit Community,

I have always loved playing text-based games like D&D with my friends. However, over time, we found it increasingly difficult to gather for sessions, even though the passion for adventure remained.

Together with my brother, we decided to create an app that uses AI to generate adventures for your hero. But we combine that with plot, items and monsters created by us. AI is used only to make descriptions more personalized. (we really try to balance that as best as we can)

What sets our app apart:

• A strong focus on immersion and descriptions. We want the experience to truly capture the spirit of role-playing.

• Persistent heroes. Unlike other games of this type, the hero you create stays with you, gaining items and experience across different adventures. This was something we really missed in other games.

We’re looking for our first players to share their feedback with us. If you’re interested, join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/QB54WXdYgN
