iOS Gaming August 2016 | A sever-ly hot summer
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Coming out this autumn apparently and will be "the full experience". The game's expansions will be released later. Oh and you'll need an iPad Air/Mini 2 + to run it.
Seems like Tetris Battle Drop is out in more countries now.
[edit] Wow, I had no idea Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD has been out for iPad for so many years. Wonder if I have missed some other PC ports for iPad.
Btw, Pako have gotten a substantial update adding an Apocalypse mode and a new camera perspective behind the car. This game is so good.
Another thing is, that Stealth Inc. is now back in the App Store.

And here I thought Total War was the other big game
As for what RPG it could be, I'm thinking Darkest Dungeon, Banner Saga 2, or KoTR 2, or if I dream big...mobile versions of Divinity: Origin Sin or Torment
I should have opted for the 256GB iPad Pro, instead of buying the 128GB option + an Apple pencil. I think I have 20GB on mine damn.
I hope we get KOTOR2 someday, but I would love it if the other big game was Divinity: Original Sin.
I asked him if it would be Final Fantasy related. Here's hoping to FFVIII or X. How I wish.

I think Divinity would be next to impossible on mobile. I'm playing on console and it's pretty complex even though they did do a great job porting the controls/menus. I'm not sure I'd want to play that kind of game on mobile.
The first three are obviously good fits (with Banner Saga 2 already confirmed, right?).

I'm betting it's Banner Saga 2.
It's got an 83 average on Metacritic so I think it turned at well. I got the X1 version with Games With Gold but haven't played it yet since I played the first on iOS and saves carry over to influence BS2.

So you're telling me August could be the best month of iOS releases ever?

I did too @more_badass re total war. dont think it is darkest dungeon or banner saga 2.
Thanks. Bought Punch Club. Don't know if it'll be any good though.
I'm thinking of completing Lara Croft GO before Deus Ex GO comes out.

Damn... Reigns looks great! Is it like 80 Days?

As of last year
Vita version is coming next month, so I imagine the mobile version can't be far behind

I'm on the fence with Punch Club. Usually it would be a no-brainer at that price. But there are too many good games coming up and I don't have unlimited money

Spiderweb's next RPG Avadon 3. Old Man's Journey from the devs of And Yet It Moves. Maybe Death Road To Canada. Probably Sorcery 4 if it doesn't come in August
I don't think we'll be seeing Hong Kong on iOS

Madridista, you get to play any Punch Club?

Siralim 2 left Early Access yesterday, so I imagine a mobile release can't be far behind
No not yet, I got caught up in Lara Croft GO.

Reigns is fantastic, played for one hour today, and it's super addictive.
Like 80 days, this is a sort of interactive fiction where you have to manage multiple parameters to advance and survive... but If I was to be bold and exagerate madly
(like many people on this forum)
When at the beginning you don't have much choices presented to you, soon you'll meet new characters and every decision will help you guess which of the four stats will go down or up... the management is tricky but not unfair - some of the choices are certainly random but most can be predicted. It's your responsibility to be a tyrant or not, and being overly good can sometimes cause your death.
(I bought the steam version, but this is perfect for a mobile game - great concept and execution.)

Another tidbit on Sorcery 4. I asked what the word count was compared to 80 Days. Inkle said 4 is roughly equal to 80 Days at launch (pre-updates)
80 Days was over 500,000 words. Now imagine that amount of content condensed to the singular map of a Sorcery game

Quite disappointed by Reigns. The novelty wears off super fast as the choices get repetitive.
There isn't much to do except balancing those 4 influences with choices you see over and over again (which means you know the effect exactly). Even though you know what influence your choice has, you will still fail miserably because of the way the decisions are shuffled.
I am in the 13th century and have finished nearly 3/4th of the quests, met all characters except one and died 1/2 of the way you can. My best run was reigning 65 years.
Can't recommend the game.

Bought it and agree, Reigns is fantastic. First tun did 20 years and the second... 7... now for the third spin
I am AWFUL at Reigns.
Granted, I've mostly only played it at times when I was distracted, tired, or both, but still. I have four 1 year reigns on my timeline. My longest was like 27 years. I haven't fully figured out which choice leads to what, but it's clicking. I like it, and look forward to them expanding the content!

Guys, be aware that there is much more to Reigns than rule as long as you can.
The real objective of the game, which will become apparent only after you rule over year 2000, is obtaining a good ending and solve the grand puzzles.
I won't spoil anything, but it's truly amazing (I solved some minor ones but I have yet to solve the main one).
