    My favorite genre is role-playing and I'm craving a good RPG right now lol. Preferably one that has classes and high-end achievable gear. I've played the big-name ones already (battleheart, KOTOR, Wayward souls, Aralon, Ravensword). Any good hidden ones?

    Avernum. The Baldurs Gate games. Knights of the Old Republic. The Quest. Undercroft. Warhammer Quest, if you consider that.

    Not too much of a fan of old school RPGs, but I'll give warhammer a try. Seems interesting

    Monster Hunter really wasn't my style, is dragon quest different?

    It's different than MH certainly. It's a pretty textbook JRPG. I haven't played this version of it, but it was excellent on PS2.

    The best RPGs on iOS in my opinion:

    KOTOR
    TWEWY
    Final Fantasy 5
    Knights of Pen and Paper
    Battleheart Legacy
    Dragon Quest 8
    Final Fantasy Tactics
    XCom Enemy Unknown
    Chaos Rings Trio
    Alphadia Genesis
    Doom & Destiny
    Symphony of Origin
    Deus Ex The Fall
    Infinity Blade Trilogy
    Swordigo
    Ravensword Shadowlands
    Baldur's Gate duo
    Shadowrun
    Horn

    And the arena-type ones:

    Heroes & Castles
    Bug Heroes 2
    Slayin
    Hero Siege

    Just check out some vids. Sadly Im not a fan of turn based :( should've mentioned that lol. RP may be my favorite genre, but I'm really picky when it comes to it :p

    I think ima grab swordigo, it seems fun. I missed it when it climbed the charts. Downloaded it when it was free, but never got the chance to play it. Thanks!

    Also I never played Dungeon Hunter 4. I hear you can complete it no problem, and if you want you can grind for the best gear without spending a cent. Should I play it or pass?

    Skip Dungeon Hunter 4. If you want DH 1 and 2 are actually better.

    If you want something free that's pretty good, Dungeon Quest's loot-heavy dungeon-crawling gameplay is a great pick, despite the lack of a story.

    Swordigo is one game you shouldnt miss.

    Oops... That too :)

    Really liked Drakerider too. I'll reinstall drakerider and give it another playthrough.

    It didn't do well? I never heard that.

    All I know is that the dev Pixel Hero games is working on the Warhammer 40k game Eisenhorn: Xenos, which is slated for release in March 2015. I expect it to be a similar game but all WH40k style.

    The dev tweeted a couple weeks ago that development on Spiral Ep2 would most likely commence not long after Eisenhorn: Xenos' release

    Thats great, I thought they've abandoned it! I'm interested to see what they'll do with Eisenhoen. And yeah it just didnt get too much attention on the AppStore.

    Yeah... Spiral was one of the best action RPGs on iOS, but i finished it 3 times, and still no solid word on Ep2.
