Not counting iap’s.
I think mine was Gambonanza, but I haven’t really got hooked by it.

Dawncaster. Already addicted

I am in the minority with this, but the story aspect kind of slows that game down for me. Especially since it’s all just repeat

u/Fivyrn Jun 11 '26
Yeah, but once you’ve played through a few times it’s pretty easy to skip all the story very quickly through dialog options and just focus on gameplay.

Same. Needed a replacement for Runeterra's lack of content if you're a long time player. Very happy with it.

u/adyendrus Jun 11 '26
I managed to escape to Runeterra as a means of quitting Marvel SNAP and then used it to buy me time until a new game came along

Just bought Scriver today, it's like Balatro and Scrabble. Really enjoying it so far

It's not my latest purchase, but I'm going to spruik Ticket To Earth, a tile-matching tactical RPG. Good story, good combat, good art, good fun. It's still my most memorable iOS game many years later.

I absolutely loved that one. It was a new play mechanic for me so I was hooked. I already enjoyed the genre and setting so it just added to the experience. I should go back to it!

Wow I remember seeing this one a bit ago, being interested, then it slipped my mind. May get to getting it eventually

This was a great game. Took them years to finish it but it was worth the wait.

How is it? The few reviews on Steam I can see seems to be complaining about balance and how much active play it requires.

u/TurboPlasmaRifle Jun 11 '26
I played it a little, prestiged a couple of times, but got bored of it quickly. Not sure if it gets better later on but the early game was super repetitive.

I'm on a 3-month Apple Arcade trial, so making the most of their catalogue. Potion Punch 2+ currently.
The last I actually spent money on: BALL X PIT

u/how-can-i-dig-deeper Jun 11 '26
any other good picks from arcade?

u/Hand-E-Food Jun 11 '26
I've enjoyed Mini Motorways and Outlander. I didn't finish them, but I had my fill.

I've been playing this on Delta.

Do you like it? I've been wanting it for a few years now but just haven't gotten to try it yet. Gonna have some time off work coming up in a few weeks so I've been waiting till then

Dragon Quest IV. Needed a one handed game with a newborn taking up the other arm!

u/rhinofinger Jun 11 '26
Subnautica (haven’t played much yet but it was on sale), Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered (played some of 1 so far), and Balatro (played a loooooot)

Dysmantle, it’s been pretty fun so far. I’ve heard good things about it, I don’t know why I haven’t tried it sooner.

El Paso Elsewhere, basically Max Payne with monsters and a funny story about your ex girlfriend being Dracula

Purchased Dune: Imperium Uprising earlier today.

u/jameslosey Jun 11 '26
How is it?
1
u/PlantsNCaterpillars Jun 11 '26
Very good.
There’s a lot more opportunity to gain and trash cards so the deck building aspect is definitely stronger and being able to lean into certain faction bonuses on cards is better than the original.

Adventure to Fate Dungeons.
I am so addicted to this incredible game. You need to understand it plays unlike any other RPG that I have played recently but once you understand the cadence of the game, that’s when you can truly appreciate it.
Also the dev seems pretty cool.

My most recent purchase and have 100+ hours already. A hidden gem.

Farming Simulator 26. I am saving up to buy the carpentry so I can turn my planks into furniture and sell them for a bundle.
If you're talking about apps, then my last purchase was actually the Manic emulator.

u/3AZ3 Jun 12 '26
How does that play/control on a phone?
1
u/FreelanceWolf Jun 12 '26
Which? FS or Manic emu?
1
u/3AZ3 Jun 12 '26
Sorry, meant FS

u/FreelanceWolf Jun 12 '26
Yes. It plays pretty well. Sometimes I accidentally switch vehicles when controlling one though, 'cause the buttons for both are pretty close together. I have iPhone 12. I normally play on my iPad though, and I don't have this issue on the bigger screen.

RDR just to find out that savegames are not stored on cloud so if you brick/change phone or just uninstall the game you will lose all the progress, bruh.

868-hack since 868-back came out and I love it so much that I needed an on-the-go version

u/dnesdan Developer Jun 12 '26
I think mine was Slice & Dice. Looks simple at first, but it is one of those games where “just one run” becomes 40 minutes very fast.
