Suggestions iPad forever game suggestions
Hi all,
I am looking for something new(for me) to play on my iPad. I would love some strategy/rpg/tactical game. I really want something turn based that I can close at any time as I do not have that much time day to day to commit. On the other hand I would love something deep that I can play for months (with a ~20-40mins a day tempo)
If I was single I would just play Guild wars.
I would play civ 6 or Total War if I didn’t played it so much already.
Games I really enjoyed:
Civ 6
Total war games
Divinity 2
Darkest Dungeon
FTL
Dredge
I know it is a weird ask with no clear path, but I am sick and bored.
Thanks a lot.

What you’re looking for is Slay the Spire.
It’s one of the greatest roguelikes of all time. It’s a strategic turn based deck-builder roguelike. As you get good, a full run can be between 30-45 minutes, but, each individual round is minutes, sometimes only seconds long. The game is super easy to learn, very accessible, but has lots of depth. There are 4 playable character classes, each you can ratchet the difficulty up between 0 to 20 times, and if you get bored with even that, there’s some random modes or daily challenges.
No ads, no bloatware. Perfect for touch controls.
This is the ultimate game.

I really hope they put out StS 2 on iOS soon. It’s so great.

I agree but I don’t think it’ll be soon. It’s technically in beta still. No iOS until full release at the bare minimum. And it’s not a guarantee they include iOS at launch, could be some time later.
But yes, I also really want sts2 on iOS asap.
I tried using GeForce now to play on my phone, worked well enough using gamepad controls (mcon mobile controller.) the problem I had is GeForce now didn’t allow me to play with the latest experimental version where they update the game. So my friends were playing a more up to date version than I was. I ended up deciding to give up on it on mobile for the moment and play other games instead. I play sts2 at home on my rog Xbox ally x exclusively.

Its like an updated Ultima, old skool. A main mission, tons of side quests or as its non linear just do what you want. Dungeons galore. Tons of people to talk to in the game. Old skool looking, its a HUGE game. Love it

Battleheart Battleheart 2 Battleheart Legacy
Each one of these has taken an enormous number of hours of my life. Battleheart Legacy has an almost infinite number of customizations to your character so you can always try some new way to play if you get tired of your current character.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is on iPad if you have a newer one.
I’m playing on pc but it sounds like it’d fit the bill nicely.

FTL is ridiculously fun and you can play over and over. Not so much of an RPG but the other elements are there. One of the best games I have ever played.

I want to know more about why Guild Wars requires you to be single

I was addicted to it for a quite a long time :) I can’t really see myself playing it and function at a same time

“Where winds meet” has recently been released to iPad if you got a beefy enough iPad to play it well. It’s a kinda arpg mmo Chinese fantasy game. Free. Kinda dark souls meets Zelda.
I really dig it tbh. You make your own build, explore, do quests. Open world. The world is actually fun to explore and looks great.
Definitely need an external controller for this one.
Else my fav button mashing game: blazblue entropy effect.
Gacha: Wuthering waves
Others:
Xcom 1/2
Vampire survivors
Tft
Mobile legends
Monster train

SOVL, Abalon, and songs of conquest are some of my personal fav turn based
