So I figured I'll start a thread on Mobile device games and people's favorite *legit* games that they find themselves playing or going back to often when they're not on their console/PC.

 

*By legit games I mean not one of those millions of money grabbing "strategy" or flavor of the month cloned crap games (Flappy bird) with over the top b.s. in-app purchases.

I'll start with the handful that I've found to be fun (with $ amount if they were not free), in no particular order:

 

IOS/Ipad 2:

 

1. Infinity Blade II ($6) - Great graphics, fun sword/axe slashing gesture gameplay (Unreal 3 engine!)

2. Hill Climb Racing -- The one and only!

3. SAS Zombie Assault 3 (I actually prefer the PC browser version)

4. Strike Fleet

5. Deep Dungeons of Doom (Roguelike)

 

Android:

1. Hill Climb Racing -- Haha yyyyup. This will be on every device that I can find available!

2. Drag Racing 4x4 (last year's vesion anyway)

3. Deep Dungeons of Doom - Great fun take on Roguelikes

4. Pixel Dungeon - Another graphically 'neat' Roguelike

5. SAS Zombie Assault 3

6. Hero Siege - Top view realtime hack 'n' slash RPG/Roguelike

7. FrozenFront - Turn Based WW2 tactics game.

 

 

Right, most of these are so called "free" apps, and DO have in-app purchases, BUT they are not overly difficult to play as a 'free' game and I did not find myself needing to dish out cash to 'pay to win' in order to enjoy them at all, at least when I first got them or last played them.

I honestly have yet to get into mobile gaming. :\

Although I wouldn't mind playing some kind of tower defense game.

There are some really great games on there, it's just that if you recall my old article about the tons of crap that exists on IOS, it really gets depressing trying to filter out good games when there is no real easy way without specific names in mind. Sometimes I google search for random 'top IOS games' or some genre specifically; that helps.

Tower defense games are plentiful-- problem being sifting through the trash and cash schemes to find the 'true' playable ones. However if you don't mind paying for a good game, Kingdom Rush is actually a really refined, quality TD game. There's a browser version of it too if you google it, to get an idea of what it's like. The IOS version MIGHT be different but for $0.99-1.99 I would certainly hope they haven't gone 'iap' mode.

 

Another good RTS game I hear is something of a clone of StarCraft -- it's 3D style like SC2 -- called Starfront Collision. Yup, nevermind the name (Chinese or something clone). It's been up there in price but for a good reason I understand.

My office mate made me try this puzzle/match game called Honeyday Blitz 2. It is like an improved Candy Crush. I joined because of their money promo last month. So far so good.

I just came here to get suggestions. LOL. But surprised to see a comment about Honeyday Blitz 2. That game is a super addicting but not so many people know about it yet. Good choice!

Your mate should be rewarded. How is it so far? Please tell us more about it.

So far so good, no bugs, I have never encountered any problem while playing it. No ads (best thing about any app or games). Graphic is nice and does not irritate the eyes (lmao, you know what I mean). It gets harder every episode (level). Sometimes I get stuck in one episode for days. hehehe but that is what makes me love it more. I like challenges.
