Do you think there are phone games that are decent? It seems most games gravitate to the puzzle (chu chu rocket) strategy (hitman go) or endless runner (rayman fiesta) trifecta, but since I lick the humidity from plants for survival, I don't think I ever purchased any game from mobile. I'm curious since I think, by probability if nothing else, amongst the billion of bejeweles clones there must be good stuff.

Anything more traditional action oriented? or maybe it's a fool's errand given that input methods are so different to standard gaming stuff maybe a better question would be what games actually were well designed around touch input?

You would think that turn based JRPGs would match pretty easily to a touch screen control but the movement always feels really bad

Super Hexagon, Calculords and PvZ are the only ones Ive played and their all good in their own dumb ways. But I only really play any of them once or twice a year and I can only beat the first level of Hexagon because my thumbs are idiot.

I downloaded like three phone games in a row because I needed something to do and was away from my console. Not only were all three terrible, but they were almost identical. Same friend system, same lottery system, same IAP, everything. Phone games are a cancer.

There are a fair few rhythm action games for phone but Deemo is the only one I really enjoyed because the piano-based gameplay feels good on the touchscreen. if you're the type to like dj max technika style stuff check out Cytus

gemini rue was a pretty decent point-and-click game, and there's a version for that for phone. However i remember there being action minigames and i'm not sure how the touch screen controls work for those so be wary. -g0m

I really like a game called Sword and Glory (I know it's available for Android but unsure about ios). It's set in Finland sometime before its full christianization. You play a young warrior who ideally grows to become king of the area you live in, but in about 15 hours of gameplay I've never come close because combat is friggin' deadly and a single mistake can and will kill you. Gameplay consists of cyoa-style events that pass time (you eventually grow old and die, but again never made it that far) interspersed with combat. There's a leveling/perk system that gates off certain events (none of the thieving events happen if you're not a thief frex) and so forth. So yeah, I like it a lot and it's free (there's a persistent upgrade thing with a currency you can earn pretty quickly via playing or via IAPs, but I've never felt the need and it seems pretty cheap all told if you do want to buy it).

hitman go is good. 10000000 or whatever the number is, is good. both of those cost real money up front though instead of having f2p cash shop and i guess some people arent into that. they're also both kinda short in comparison to full games on real platforms. i've never seen a good action game on phones ever. even on tablets with much larger screen, the ones i have seen still dont control well enough to be good. i'd be amazed if there werent a good rhythm game for phones since that genre seems like it could be a good fit for small touch screen inteface, but i dont know what that game would be.

i just wonder since basically you can get a game going on 4 directional inputs and one button and input options on phones include tapping, holding and the slide. twewy proved to me that stylus combat can be good (even if moving neku could sometimes prove hassling) but it still hinged on a second combat format that used the dpad coupled with the stylus parts. since you have 3 input methods, tap, hold and slide, there must be some form of game that can work, that isnt something that has already been explored, like endless runners or fruit ninjas

Sudoku Joy for the iPhone is the best free sudoku app imo. The only two other games I have on my phone are hearthstone and puzzle & dragons.

I use a Nexus but here is a list of some great ones that will work for your big screen phone: -Door kickers. Real time pause-able top down Swat team simulator. Like the planning phase in the old rainbow 6 games Really nice controls and progression -Frozen Synapse. Turn based version of the above but more cyberpunk. Multi Player -Breach and Clear. Mixes the two. -Galaxy on Fire. space sim, pretty decent -Out There. Kinda an FTL lite. frustrating, but pretty and fun. -Max Payne. Ok Port -GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. Port -X-com Enemy Unknown. Really stripped down port. Not the best but it's X-com on a phone! -Banner Saga, hard on small phones -Baldur's Gate 1,2 hard on small phones -This war of mine, pretty good quality port -Grim Fandango, beautiful but big file size -Blackwell series/ Gemini Rue, perfect ports of great games. -Machinarium. really suited to a phone -Thomas Was Alone. Very smooth and loses nothing -Tomb raider (ps 1) a little hard to control -Shadowrun, perfect but you need a big screen -Star Wars Knights Of the Old Republic. Takes some getting used to but excellent. All ports, all pretty sweet depending on your hardware. There are a ton of decent games kicking around. My standouts in terms of quality are Star Wars, Thomas Was Alone, Shadowrun and all the point and click games. You can also run emulators and play Megadrive, Snes and even PSP games though I have never bothered. Really easy to set up and the touch controls are quite good for most. I have a pad I sometimes use and it's as good as any handheld. Lonos Oboe fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Dec 3, 2015 |
