Any recommendations for games to play together with a partner like you'd watch a series or movie?

I've just played through Day of the Tentacle and Broken Sword 1&2 with my girlfriend. Tried Walking Dead, but the first thing you do is shoot a zombie in the face, and turns out my girlfriend is not the kind of person who enjoys shooting zombies in the face.
Monkey Island would be perfect, only I've played it like 3 times by myself already. It mustn't necessarily be adventures, but something very much like Broken Sword would probably work.

You don't do a lot of killing in TWD iirc. Like, it does happen, yeah, but it's definitely story driven.

I downloaded it. It seems... Alright. It is very very basic and RNG dependent. The only stats you got are attack, defense, and hp. Every 100 xp you gain you get 1 attack. You gain hp and defense though items. Battles are a simple click on enemy and hope you don't miss. There is a stamina bar and the more you move through a floor, the more tired you become. Being tired makes you miss more often. So most the strategy is being able to clear a path to the exit before becoming too tired.

It is worth trying out for rogue like fans but I'm pretty glad I didn't pay for the game. I don't really see myself playing it much longer.


Edit: and I beat it with the very easy character. Harder character just start with less bombs/health/keys. That not really enough to make me want to play it again.

The Kingdom Rush games are loving fantastic. I also like The Creeps and the Anomaly series (shut up, they count). I know there are several dozen other good ones amongst the hundreds of dogshit terrible ones but I'm blanking right now.

Right but there's no challenge so the depth of the gameplay is irrelevant, and any challenge is because you haven't spent enough funbux? It's all grind.

I've played a handful of missions and I'm cautiously optimistic about Space Wolf.

The combat plays out like a combination of Card Hunter and XCOM, and seems like it has genuine depth. Lots of ways you can noodle on deck building and playing out turns to min/max your damage and risk. Feels as nerdalicious as any of their tabletop games and like it will be fun to explore the edges of.

Also, the F2P elements seem inoffensive. There's no energy mechanic, no timers to skip, and no obvious hard gates. The main places to spend I've seen so far are in acquiring more cards for your deck. It's hard to tell at this early stage but I feel like it falls somewhere around Hearthstone in terms of freebie cards versus urge to buy and hope for Legendary rarity. Also the difficulty could suddenly start brick walling you unless you either painfully grind up or spend audacious amounts on cards.

My complaints are actually all ones where it doesn't do mobile game staples to make me hungry to play it. It has no Daily Whatever mechanic to make me launch it every day (even Hearthstone has that). The fights are actually relatively long, a lot of times I've put the phone down mid fight and picked it up again later (you can resume fights). As an example, the last mission I did was longer than my bus journey to work, which is a big "game time!" for me. I'm worried about how long the content will hold out, because I've had little variance in enemies yet, and there's no obvious Event system which would imply they intend to have a rolling treadmill of authored content.

All of the above combines into something that feels like a great game system, with sympathetic F2P, but without the hooks that make me hungry to launch it. I say if the idea of 40k XCOM sounds alright to you then it's Free and dig in.

There is definitely a dead zone in between the low level dungeons and the high level dungeons. You'll just have to grind, unfortunately. The "Secret Cave" is pretty good for this and can have some good gear as well.

Today I am the rear end in a top hat who comes in to the thread with a new iphone. Looking for some fun games in the vein of:

Tower Defense
On my android I enjoyed elements TD
Endless Runner
I like Punch Quest but i'm getting bored of it
Click-then-wait
I liked tiny death star on my android but i can't seem to find it on ios
Two-player pass-the-phone [or two-player simultaneous]
For cooperative time wasting

Oh, and a robotron clone.
I'm stoked that crimsonland is on ios and i'm definitely getting that, but since i've beaten it on PC maybe there are others i should try?

I realize that these don't fit into your lifestyle and I'm sorry you can't enjoy the game because of it but all of these things are Really Good Things and not detractors in any way. Also the only f2p games with good rolling treadmills of authored content are high budget desktop PC games like Marvel Heroes or that robot shooty game by DE.

Disney did license it, they just decided one day to stop supporting it or something and made it disappear. There may be more to the story but that's how it seemed to go down in this thread, even the Nimblebros seemed a bit surprised.

Don't mean to burn you, it's just a boring genre. Still, I wouldn't be looking for it if there weren't some appeal to the concept. I played a lot of tiny tower on my old android and i'm pretty much set for it, I just found the sci fi paintjob charming.

It's nice having something to do if you have like, 10-45 seconds to spare - it's a valid niche. FWIW, you guys are pretty much the kings of this particular genre.
