Request What are the top tier pure-iOS games?
I’m talking the stuff that thrives on mobile. No controller needed, no “this would be better on console”, not gimmicky stuff like Words With Friends, just straight up awesome genuine gaming experiences. Dead Cells is good on mobile but better on a PC, for instance.
I’ve got a pretty clean Mount Rushmore of:
1. Infinity Blade
2. Balatro
3. Dawncaster
4. Slay the Spire
What am I missing? I feel like finding iOS games worth your time is so much harder than the other platforms, and in my old age it’s easier to find time on the can than on the couch. I’m hoping there are some greats out there that I’ve overlooked.
Personal preference, I don’t love action. Reflexes and such are so tough on a phone instead of a controller. Are there any that are so well done that they’re still great even despite that?
