Your favorite iOS game (no lists, only ONE), touchArcade member's top game

So I count this as a vote for Phoenix HD.

Maybe I'll add an option that a tA user can change his/her opinion once or maybe twice in a year (assumed that the thread lives that long). They have to justify this with at least two sentences.

Thank you, awp69. Nominations/votes by regulars are especially precious!

I must confess that Pocket RPG slipped under my radar until now. Maybe it's the "RPG" in the name. But it seems that the RPG part is very well balanced and that it's more a dual stick controlled hack and slash, dungeon crawler game.

Tried the ad supported lite of Pocket RPG for some minutes and it's graphically overwhelming, looks very good on iPad 3rd gen.—That begins already with the pseudo 3D menue screen and the floating fonts in the shop and equip items screen. The controls are perfect.

Cleared the first level on the first try and got five of motivating achievements. Love how you get gold coins just for speaking to someone (tap). And experience bonus for smashing chests and vases. Hit trees and you'll get a few coins sometimes. Some chests or skulls contain monsters. Obviously you can smash anything. Cool gold rain in the screen between the levels. Good sounds and music as well.

It's pretty fun so far to play. Thanks for the hint. Will try the lite a bit more and maybe wait for a sale of the full universal.

That's exactly why I created this nomination/poll thread. To find out simply the best iOS game, nothing more, nothing less.

 

Thanks for your nominations and votes, guys. Some interesting new entries added in the OP.

I understand what you mean, Gabrien. As said before: It's rather hypothetic. But keep it simple please. And: What better, short and terse "helper question" would you ask to find out the "best game of all times"? For me personally "if you could only keep one" is a hard question but a pretty good and concise aid and crib as well.
