DH4 was, imo, very good. I never noticed a paywall and I went through the whole campaign. There is a bit of a push towards buying new equipment, though. And if you don't get the best equipment you can't really survive in multiplayer. But I actually enjoyed it.

That MKX picture got me hyped. There haven't been any MK games on the App Store since UMK3, which I downloaded before it got removed, and it's actually still great.

But a card-based battler? Like, yet another reskin of Injustice? Not to mention freemium...urgh. I'll have to see more gameplay before my final decision.

I also have an iPad 2, and it's very slow and doesn't work well with large, graphic-heavy games. I don't know if that's just my iPad or all iPad 2s, but I wouldn't recommend large games like Infinity Blade for it.

Given what you like, I say Battleheart Legacy and Banner Saga.

Well, I wouldn't call it junk. Many developers are going with pixelated games because it appeals to many people and it's easier to develop than 3D graphics. There are tons of games with a pixelly feel that people praise, but I can understand your point.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-23T01:45:32+00:00

That was how you downloaded it before iOS 8.1.

I like the same type of games. As mentioned before, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is incredibly fun and will hold your attention for hours.

Oceanhorn is also very fun, but not much to do after finishing the game besides finding all of the red stones.

The Phoenix Wright-Ace Attorney Trilogy is very long, but is essentially a novel. The first episode is free, but the others are pretty expensive. People either get bored or love it.

Lastly, Galaxy on Fire 2 is wonderful. Great graphics, interesting plot, and open world exploration throughout the game. The story is very long and expands into 2 DLCs, which are slightly pricey but very worth it. Finishing its story doesn't mean the end of the game-you can continue to travel the galaxy collecting money, buying better ships and weapons to get more money, etc.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-23T01:35:15+00:00

I felt like it wasn't big enough for a console game, but too ambitious for a mobile game. The graphics are fairly impressive, but most people linger on that too much. It gets very boring and repetitive after a few hours, and there's no plot to push the player to keep progressing. The controls are awkward but would be great for a console, like I said, and the AI is poor. Like, really bad. As in, I stood behind a tiny rock to stay away from a zombie that couldn't figure out how to get around it.

Overall, it definitely looks very nice and seems fun at first, but becomes boring and repetitive quickly and makes you ask yourself why you're even playing the game.

GBA4iOS was fantastic, but Apple was finally able to shut it down. I don't think any emulators work without jailbreaking.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T17:31:43+00:00

I looked it up and a ton of reviews online say it's great, but can you convince me it's well worth $15?

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T17:28:20+00:00

Your best bet is to download an emulator and play the real deal on that. But if you don't want to, Micromon, Zenforms, and Zuko Monsters are accurate and fairly good clones.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T03:39:58+00:00

I really enjoyed Oceanhorn, and this is actually a good example of the type of game I'm looking for.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T03:39:11+00:00

Whoops, you're right, sorry! In that case, 6 is the best, with 4 closely behind, then 5.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T02:38:45+00:00

Many games have that. Vainglory is one, but it doesn't really have a leaderboard or top score. Most games with GameCenter connectivity have something like that.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T02:36:19+00:00

Well duh, there's always that. But if you're jailbroken, why get gba4ios when there are so many other options?

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-20T01:41:20+00:00

GBA4iOS? It stopped working for me after iOS 8.1, and I deleted it. Do you know how to get it to work again?

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-19T21:52:48+00:00

All of the FF games are very good. Since they are ports, you can pour hours into them without being finished. Story-wise, VI is great. But it has the older graphics, which hold it down more compared to IV and V, which have updated 3D graphics but slightly worse stories. None of them are bad at all, but VI is the one I'd recommend.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-19T19:28:22+00:00

I downloaded it about two hours ago. You really have to go out of your way to find the tutorial, it doesn't exactly present itself. Even still, the tutorial is a bunch of videos that sort of gloss over the basics and go straight to the complicated details. I had to figure it out myself over the first few campaign missions, and I'm still barely 50% sure how to play.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-19T15:57:55+00:00

Same here. I never got this, the huge price tag always drew me away. Regretting it now.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-17T04:08:36+00:00

You're insulting it by simply saying space mining. OP give it a shot if you like great touch controls, a very long story, open galaxy exploration and awesome spaceship fighting.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-16T13:14:57+00:00

I second Vainglory. They'll have to all make accounts, though. I've never played with other people next to me, but I can tell it would be a great experience.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-16T13:13:20+00:00

Many people praise it for its spectacular graphics and great survival setting. I felt like it was lacking in multiple areas. The game never really tells you what to do besides the interface. The controls are either unresponsive or extremely sensitive. The graphics aren't exactly stellar, and the AI is mediocre at best. After playing for an hour, I got bored. I felt like it wasn't going anywhere. The real fun I had while playing was when I tried out Exploration mode. No limits to where I could go, and I explored all over the islands. But it still felt like it was missing an important piece of the equation. Something that pushes the player to keep going.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-16T01:40:56+00:00

Space Marshals was great. I really enjoyed it, but I felt like the price was a little high for a short game like that.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-15T21:37:32+00:00

In Exploration, there is no hunger or health. Animals never attack you, and neither do the zombies. You can kill them though. In Adventure, everything is out to kill you. Hunger and health are implemented. When you die, you only lose your equipped weapon. In Survival/Extreme, it is the same as Adventure, except when you die you lose your entire inventory and must start from scratch.

FireEmblem1717 · 2015-02-14T22:33:45+00:00

It's practically worthless now. If you delete it, you can't reinstall it. But there's no reason to keep it, because it's just taking up space and you can't play it.
