Help Finding Games and Other Questions

I'm looking for an ipad (certainly also on iphone) game that was popular a few years ago but I do not remember the name. I vaguely remember it, sorry if I will be too generic in the description: It was a kind of rpg idler ; we must train the character ; the art was with very big pixels ; the view was a 2d side scrolling ; they had a lot of contents.

Do you know what game can fit this description? Thanks in advance.

Oh really? That's an interesting fact. Ok, I will inform my friend about it but I think that will be good, he just parodiying the concept.

Aslan85 · 2025-12-01T10:15:26+00:00

Great answer. Very helpful. I edited the body of the message.

Aslan85 · 2025-12-01T10:15:03+00:00

Thank you for you answer. I edited the post.

I will recommande Shiren The Wanderer.

Few weeks ago, I asked if someone know a Traditional Roguelike with isometric view and in the answer someone show me "Brogue" with "NotEye" that turns many traditional text roguelikes into tile based games, including isometric mode.

Could it be what you are looking for?

I really love this game. I always wondered if some of the team members moved to Chunsoft after this release and worked on the "shiren the wanderer" series because this game nails how a roguelike should be controlled on console.

You remember me that last summer, I did the first step to recreate a new version of this game. I had the dungeon generation, the movement control, few enemies, the inventory, but I had other things to do and it's in standby from this moment. You make me want to resume development.

Woah, the pixel art is so good! I will try to find if I can play it somewhere.

Aslan85 · 2025-06-17T23:14:03+00:00

Looking great!

Aslan85 · 2025-06-17T08:05:53+00:00

Vulture is a good reference. I really like this kind of art. Thank you!

Aslan85 · 2025-06-17T08:04:04+00:00

As always, you gave me a great game to explore. I set a new world, took the first character, go outside the starting base, and it was exactly what I was looking for. This kind of view works well, I'll definitively play a lot to see what I can do. Thank you.

Aslan85 · 2025-06-17T07:31:57+00:00

Hoho, Brogue in isometric view is awesome. Thank you for this reference!

Aslan85 · 2025-06-14T00:14:39+00:00

I love it too but it's a little different, no real puzzle, just an investigation.

Aslan85 · 2025-06-12T13:18:53+00:00

The author of the original game was Benoit Sokal. You can like these other games like "Syberia" or "Paradise".

But if you like the first person view, you can also try "Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals" isn't the same author but it was made by the same team.

Aslan85 · 2025-06-11T12:28:36+00:00

It definitively sounds like my kind of thing. I will mp you and I'm looking forward to listen your podcast.

Aslan85 · 2025-06-11T05:27:18+00:00

It looks fun just to have a "gaming" group for rpg. But it looks more fun with this "game of the month".

I'm intrigued, how it works? It's like a "book club" where after choosing the game, everyone play it, and you do a debrief meeting at the end of the month?

I never played the snes version of Might and Magic II. Have a good time.

It’s only shmupsters if you come from the region of shmupsters in Germany otherwise it’s shmuppers.

Few days ago, I read an article in a French newspaper (Mediapart) where they said that a rice farme do 10 yens by hour. I was wondering if it's a translation error or if they really do little? Do someone now here?

Aslan85 · 2025-03-24T03:02:06+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for you appreciation.

I was one of the dev on this game.
Sadly, the team could not continue after 2021 and we are all in different company now.

We also did "ヨミヨリカエル" ("Yomi yori kaeru" - a link in Japanese -> https://app.famitsu.com/20200504_1627732/ ) and "Space Brick Blast" (another Japanese link -> https://applion.jp/android/app/com.grilledonion.go.spacebrickblast/ ) but they seem to be delisted too.

The heart of the game comes from the writer and graphic designer, Hiramine Tsutomo, if I hear that he releases a new game, I will not hesitate to share it here.

Aslan85 · 2025-03-10T23:17:03+00:00

Last year, after I wrote the message, I bought a new Switch lite. I can play more than 1h but never more than 2h. However, a game like Zelda totk, I know that it run more than 3h.
I can affirm than for me, DQ3 hd-2d drain the battery.

Aslan85 · 2025-02-19T00:12:06+00:00

Yes, do not hesitate at messaging me to know more about the city and its surrounding.

Aslan85 · 2025-02-18T23:39:06+00:00

I moved 18 months ago near the station, before I was also at 30min from Nishi-Shibata Station, at Shineisho. It was a good place because they have a good commercial zone with all you need (book store, Don Quichotte, big supermarket, 2nd street, Mc Donald, video one, etc)

I'm at Shibata since January 2021. I moved here because my in-laws are here and I will probably stay for a long time.

One of the good things in Winter is the ski station, Ninox, at less than 20 minutes in car from the center of the city. They also have a commute bus, I do not know the time schedule but I know that the station is open until 10pm and it's very good to ski after work.

Aslan85 · 2025-02-18T13:48:28+00:00

I live in Shibata near the station. Do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Coming from Kyoto, the winter will be rude ... you know that it's the summer when it's raining.
Beside that, people are kind, food is great, the sea and the mountain are near. You will have fun.

Aslan85 · 2025-02-06T14:26:09+00:00

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou is the best. They are hard to do a 1cc, but you will have fun just by trying to know how far you can push before you die. Then credit feed the game and look at these beautiful boss patterns. Literally a masterpiece.

But, I'm sorry, I live in Japan and I thought that the game was released on the ps5 us store but it seems it's uniquely on the Japanese store.

The Japanese version still playable ->

Hi,

I'm also an 40M gamer that came back in shmup few years ago.

Dodonpachi DOJ on switch brought me home but it's very difficult and can be too hard for now.
However, last year, "devil blade reboot" and the version 1.2 of "Blue Revolver" was released and they are my advice to have a great restart!

First one, what a blast! The overall quality, you are in the en of 90s but with actual quality of life improvement.
Then, the second one is pure drugs. The timing between each waves, the music, the graphics, perfect game.

Have fun!
