Hey guys I'm looking for a long term iphone game, any suggestions?

[Arland]

I want a game that last a long time, Think pokemon, or fire emblem of legend of zelda. Thanks

[iPodTouchApplication]

look into The Quest, Hospital Havoc, and Virtual Villagers 2

[JoshC.]

Dont get Virtual Villagers 2. I thought it was a complete waste.

[nteel7]

I'd either choose Fieldrunners or Galcon (which is on sale for $.99 now)

[Stykman]

Dont get Virtual Villagers 2. I thought it was a complete waste.

+1 for no virtual villigars 2

[Stykman]

I'd either choose Fieldrunners or Galcon (which is on sale for $.99 now)

not at all


try bounce on if u like platformers it is pretty chellenging

[Arland]

thanks anything else?

[JoshC.]

Payback or Warfare Incorporated. They are both huge in content.

[DAV!DiOT]

I'd either choose Fieldrunners or Galcon (which is on sale for $.99 now)

Not so sure about fieldrunners (only 3 maps) but galcon is definitely amazing. GET GALCON NOW!!! :D

It involves strategy elements like Fire Emblem, but its real-time and fast-paced. Also, there's internet multiplayer

[Stykman]

tanzen over 400 puzzles to solve ;)

plus its only a dollar

[Arland]

Yah i already got galcon thats cool but i really need a deeper game

[Stykman]

Flick fishing
basball superstars 2009
the oregon trail
westward

[alsonic41]

What about dungeon and hero

[darkhorse]

PuzzleQuest will last for a while.

[thisisme]

bike or die for sure
i spent a 6 hour flight playin that game non stop

[CandyNJ66]

Dont get Virtual Villagers 2. I thought it was a complete waste.

I totally disagree. It is one of my favorite games. If you are an impatient gamer who wants an instant fix with blood, guts and gore, it won't be for you. If you want a deep, fun involving game where it's in real time even as you sleep (if you don't put it on pause that is(, then this game is def long term.

[MisterDrgn]

I'd put in a second vote for Puzzle Quest. It's a fairly innovative idea (an RPG, but you fight battles by playing a match-3 puzzle game), and it can potentially take hours and hours.

[CandyNJ66]

The Quest, ElementalMonster TD (technically I don't yet but from what others say, it's very challenging and I love it), Hospital Havoc, Airplane Mania, Wolfenstein 3D (if you don't use cheat codes), Bookworm, Besiegement TD, Let's Golf. All have long term play.

[Arland]

I'm trying puzzel quest right now

[Forerunnerz]

I know what type of game your looking for. Sadly since the prices for games have set a new standard of $10 or lower, the games have less content. Here are some that are great and I know that you would like seeing as I like Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon(Never played Fire Emblem).

Payback is a great GTA clone that delivers over 10 hours of gameplay. It is a huge game, and with the update that has the angled camera view and a lower price, the game can't get any better(Unless made 3rd person, of course.). Lite version = YES

Puzzle Quest is an awesome port of the console variants and has over 20 hours of gameplay but isn't really the type of game you'd like(I may be wrong though!) It's an RPG with match-3 battle system. It's addictive and a great game with it's most recent update that added an extra 10 hours of gameplay. Lite version = YES

Soul Trapper is an amazing audio adventure game that in my opinion has the most best story out of any game made for the iPhone to date. Great voice acting, fun gameplay. Also, not exactly the type of game your looking for but it's still a great game(meant to be played with headphones) with over 5 hours of gameplay with a great engaging story and great characters. Lite version = YES

Rolando is one of the most anticipated games of '08 and wasn't a let down for me. It brought great gameplay, amazing graphics, and tons of polish. Its gameplay is similar to Mario but more interactive environment, no killing enemies, more avoiding contact with them, cool physics and over 4 hours of gameplay. Lite version is 1/4th of the full game. Lite version = YES

Hero of Sparta is also a highly anticipated game of '08. Smooth 3D graphics and smooth gameplay. Amazing controls for a hack n slash. The game itself is a masterpiece in its own way and is a must buy for $5.99 with over 5 hours of gameplay. Lite version = NO

Brothers in Arms is a fantastic third person shooter, purchasers have complained of it's control though. I found the controls perfectly fine after my first mission(tutorial) through the game. The game has insane graphics with lots of vehicles, tons of guns, WWII style gameplay, and lots more. This game offers over 5 hours of gameplay. Lite version = NO

These games are some of my most personal favorites. They are all console quality games and each deserve a look.

[supg328911]

bugdom 2 or payback

[JoshC.]

I totally disagree. It is one of my favorite games. If you are an impatient gamer who wants an instant fix with blood, guts and gore, it won't be for you. If you want a deep, fun involving game where it's in real time even as you sleep (if you don't put it on pause that is(, then this game is def long term.

I am not that kind of gamer. I just didnt see the depth in the game. It was just completely repetitive with not so good graphics.

[stargazer513]

Payback or Warfare Incorporated. They are both huge in content.

+2 for payback and warfare inc.

[coconutbowling]

Kyper. Hands down my favorite iPod game. I've already tagged in at 9+ hours. No kidding.

[Maythius]

What about dungeon and hero

That game was a terrible waste of money. Thank God for Zenonia :)

[Seishu]

That game was a terrible waste of money. Thank God for Zenonia :)
+1 Zenonia looks amazing.

[inferi22]

I would say wolfenstein or bobby carrot

[sundance kid]

heavy mach is pretty good too
i think there's a light version
plus they just added mission 7 and they are adding mission 8 in april
each mission has like 5 levels


simcity is also pretty fun if your into that kind of game otherwise you may think its boring

otherwise warfare inc is a pretty fun game as well

[hirschy75]

Let's golf

[silencer10]

Hey I'd say Payback has a lot of long term quality about it, so does Brother in Arms, as has been states before. I also throughly enjoyed Edge and SimCity, but thosed depend on your taste. good luck in finding a game.

[Arland]

+1 Zenonia looks amazing.


I TOTALLY AGREE CAN'T WAIT!!!! Is there any games of this genre to hold me over??

[Forerunnerz]

This topic is getting out of hand. He wants to know about long-term games, not just any good game. Kyper and Pocket God for instance, don't qualify to what he wants. He wants a good long game that you make progress in. Not a game like iDracula, not even if you spend over 20 hours on the game.

[CandyNJ66]

I am not that kind of gamer. I just didnt see the depth in the game. It was just completely repetitive with not so good graphics.

Well to each his/her own :)

Well, if you put it that way, then I would buy Puzzlequest. 40+ hours of awesomeness.

Thanks forerunnerz for keeping this on topic and your absolutely right

[wonderva]

Payback and Zentomino.

[TRIPLE BEAM DREAM]

Inotia, Puzzle Quest, Vay, Fission Quest, Wolfenstein, The Plateau, Blue Attack, Zentomino, Ancient Frog

[VoodooVyper]

Nobody said Galaxy on Fire...

[Donburns99]

Nobody said Galaxy on Fire...Hard to tell if a game is long term within (about) 12 hours. :rolleyes:

[Arland]

Hey when is galaxy in fire coming out?

[darkhorse]

Hey when is galaxy in fire coming out?

It's out now! (http://toucharcade.com/link/http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=308333717&mt=8)

[Spek]

I don't know if Rogue Touch is in depth enough for you but it is a game that I never get bored of. It can take a couple hours if you get a good game but its something that you get better at over time. Plus its always getting great updates.
Wolfenstein is really worth it too. Not to mention doom and quake when they arrive. :D

[Arland]

Thanks, I got galaxy on fire its awesome. Thanks

[starjimstar]

If it hasn't been mentioned already, get Wolfenstein 3D. I am still playing it 17 years after buying it. You will probably never finish Ms. Pac-Man either (I am starting to think there is no end.) PuzzleQuest seems to be a lengthy one as well.

[Hatteras]

Wait for Car Jack Streets, you have to pay $50000 every week to pay off $1,000,000, so that's pretty long term. And it's in real time, so if you miss a week in real life, you miss a week in the game.

[Sainter]

Here are long-term games on my iPhone

Payback
Fieldrunners
Hero of Sparta
Chronicles of Inotia
Bike or Die 2
Baseball Superstars 09
Dungeon & Hero
Vay
Yard Sale Hidden Treasure: Sunnyville
Bobby Carrot Forever
Reign of Swords
The Quest

[The Game Reaper]

Sway and Galaxy on Fire.
I spend +30 mins on some sway levels!
Galaxy o fire is epic!! Think 3D EV Nova.

[CrazyHorse]

I'd say Bounce On is worth a look, I put an awful lot of time into getting 100% completion for the 3 current worlds. Plus with the promise of (i think) another 3 worlds to come as free updates, you can't really go wrong.

[CDubby94]

I'd either choose Fieldrunners or Galcon (which is on sale for $.99 now)

I think by "long term" he means platformers, judging by the examples he gave, which those two are not. Fieldrunners and Galcon have replay value, but I wouldn't call them long term.

Personally, I like Bugdom 2, but that may only be because I used to play the first one on the old Macs in like second grade.

[Zarzunabas]

Well I´d suggest getting:

-Rolando (Platformer)
-Vay (Oldschool-Round-Based-RPG)
-Bounce On (Platformer)
-Warfare Inc. (Strategy game like C&C)
-Dungeon&Hero (Best Action RPG atm I think)
-Chronicles Of Inotia: Legend of Feanor (Action RPG)
-Hero of Sparta (God of War for the iPod Touch :D)
-geoDefense (TD-Game which is quite difficult)
-Sway (Platformer)

[CDubby94]

Jailbreak your iPhone, download some emulators, download some ROMs, and voila, a lot of in-depth games. Although the controls and graphics lack substantially from the consoles the games were originally made for.

[Arland]

Yah.... but I have the 2nd gen ipod touch and i don't feel like dealing with the teathered boot

[supg328911]

payback or bugdom 2

[Seishu]

Yah.... but I have the 2nd gen ipod touch and i don't feel like dealing with the teathered boot

There's been an untethered GUI "jailbreaker" out for awhile now.

[deathinacan]

Baseball Superstars 2009 has TONS of replay value. Get that! :D

[Adams Immersive]

How Long Can You Press This Button might be the best choice. It lasts as long as you want it to--no limit! And it never gets any less fun than it started ;)

(Or on a more serious note, try Enigmo. 50 levels at least, and they get quite challenging. For a TD, consider Elemental Monsters, 7Cities or geoDefense. All have lasted me for many hours and have a lot of depth/complexity.)

[Vinny554]

Fieldrunners or iDracula.

iDracula seriously will keep you playing for a while. Everyone I know (including me) plays it at least like once a day.

Oh, or Zombieville USA, but you lose interest after a while because every level is the same.

[8bitgeorge]

You already have it: Puzzle Quest.

Fin of thread.

[Arland]

What gives you the right to end a thread

[TMAC34]

If u want really really long term, as in many months, get
Fastlane Street Racing(currently on sale for $2) or
Real Soccer 2009($5)

[anduril_ukr]

bobby carrot forever -- very long and very good

bounce on, edge, sway, ancient frog, and zen bound -- pretty long and very good

snail mail -- very long and quite good

[bhagwad]

By long term I assume you mean games that have something new all the time as well as have long term campaigns. Here are a few:

1. Sim City - Still playing after months (Have to reach year 3000)
2. Fastlane Street racing - (Gets very difficult - but still doable for a very)
3. Orions - Legend of Wizards: Takes time to learn and lots of replay value one on one.
4. Wolfenstein 3D: Lots of levels - you'll never finish it
5. Frotz - can be extremely long term. But not everyone may like that sort of thing.

Hope this is useful!

[Mohawk]

Is there any other game which is on same genre of warfare incorporated ...like build the troops and attack.

The graphics of warfare holds me off from buying it.

[ThinkCenter]

Payback all the way baby !!

[Mohawk]

Payback all the way baby !!

Thanks Think center.Do we have anyother options apart from this two!!

[ThinkCenter]

Thanks Think center.Do we have anyother options apart from this two!!

Well I have a different style of playing...I play for 10-15 min max and then I gotta switch over to something else. So I dont have a lot of "long term" games.

[dashzed]

there is Strategic Attack, which is pretty much the only other real time strategy game on the app store.

[yacoub]

7 Cities and Besiegement have taken up the most of my time. Both are well worth their prices.

[Mattman]

Go for the Quest if you are considering an RPG, other games mentioned are all great too!

[MikeyLax18]

Zenonia is out so get that!

[zachattacksox]

Depends what you want.

Action: Hero of Sparta .99 for now. Fun hack and slash game.
RPG: Zenonia 5.99 3 classes and it takes about 20 hours to beat the game once.
Tower Defense: The Creeps .99 on sale 30 stages with achivements.
Simulation: Bike or Die 2 6.99 2000 downloadable levels but very hard. Try lite version first.

[iheartgames]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this so far, but iDracula is pretty fun. If you like Crimson Lands (and other games of the type), iDracula is a long lasting and pretty inexpensive game.

Give it a shot!

[wootbean]

I tend to favor small, simple games without a lot of content but a ton of replayability. flight control, trism, frenzic, fieldrunners, superball, and ishoot can keep me occupied for a long time.

[wootbean]

That's good to hear. I have tried to analyse what type of gamer I am. Casual? Hard Core? I certainly don't class myself as a hardcore gamer, otherwise I would be playing WoW the whole time. I do like to dip into games, but not feel like I am married to them as with something like an RPG. Having said that, I don't like my games to be overly simple either. I guess I am one of those rare 'medium core' gamers:o

I suppose I'm in the same class you are then. I've never played SC or WoW, ever. I imagine I'd suck at those pretty badly anyways. RPGs like Zenonia don't really appeal to me, I don't think I'd ever maintain enough interest in it to ever finish the game.

[Fistfulofdlrz]

Zenonia, great RPG with 40+ hours of gameplay

Reign of Swords or Reign of Swords II, RTS game, deep singleplayer experience, and multiplayer gives almost unlimited replayability.

[gnetro]

I Dig It! - first task already require 4 hours of digging lol
Myst
Mystique - a horror first person, i think 2 chapters already out.
1103 - not sure if i got the title right, im waiting for chapter 2.
Hysteria Project - chapter 1 is available.
Worm & starhogs
Vay
Quest
....
You can wait for Harvest Moon & Astro Ranch

[dominator246]

Wow, I've only seen one other post for Worms lol. +1. That and Star Hogs

[Aegis]

star hogs, solo and multiplayer online. ++

[Dark NRG]

Out of hundreds of apps, many good ones mentioned here, I love Hanto and Geo Defense. I seem to go back to those regularly, tho a new Geo Defense Swarm is coming out soon :D

[Gryphon23]

Dont get Virtual Villagers 2. I thought it was a complete waste.

Dont say that, i had a great time with that app. But let me tell you, ABSOLUTELY NO REPLAY VALUE... a.k.a... delete!

[darchinst]

Civilization Revolution. strange catagorize though, not alot of levels cause its turn based strategy, but so much content and depth it'll definately keep you busy and up to your neck in details. plus when you master it you can go get a full mind-boggling version of it for pc.

[*Fidayen*]

Worms!

[Ddyracer123]

JK but seriously maybe Leaf Trombone if you like music. I've been playing it since mid June. Great for a buck;)

[Robosoft]

Check out Pipe Mania (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321219952&mt=8)

It has got 354 Levels and is a console quality game. You also have a Lite (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=322813416&mt=8) version to try out.

[Maelick]

I second "The Quest" it even has an expansion (2.99) and more planned to be released.
As well, Zenonia does pretty good on length, both of these are RPGs' by the way so ignore this post if u dont like rpgs' The quest=3d Zenonia=2d
