    I'm on the fence of getting Horn. Looks like a decent game, has been on my Wishlist on Appshopper for a while.

    Is it worth it? I'm not really digging it because it comes from Zynga though. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the quick response.

    On the other hand, I'm also considering Modern Combat 4 and Minecraft - Pocket Edition. I think I might fairly enjoy both games, not really picky about game genres... Which should I get first? Or which would you recommend? :D

    Minecraft will have multiplayer online soon,and MC4 had a good campaign and has good multiplayer-but it can tick you off alot I'd recommend MCPE if you'll wanna get used to it before online multiplayer,but it you wanna play a bunch of FPS go MC4-it's good, it is 2 gigs though

    Don't think of it as a Zynga game - nothing like their games. It's well done - good graphics, sound, story, and overall gameplay, but I got tired of it about half way through because it's fairly repetitive. You keep going on short excursions (about 30 min depending on how much you search around) to kill big bosses, collect jewels and retrieve an item at the end. And you do, I think, 18 of them - 3 chapters of 6 each. If you love adventure games though, you'll probably like it (I prefer RPG and strategy).

    Thanks! Grabbed MCPE then. :)

    Thanks for your opinion. Might get Horn if it ever happens to drop in price. Not gonna pay that price for something repetitive.

    Ill definitely check it out, though a few of the reviews on iTunes concerns me like the dice roll. What do you think about the luck factor?

    Definitely. Some other good ones are Carcassonne, Cabals, Wizard Hex, Magic the Gathering, and Necronomicon. There's Solforge too, but it's only in beta now - you can download it for free, but it's limited play.

    Luck is certainly involved, but there is plenty of strategy as well. And you still have some influence over the results of the dice once they're rolled.

    Well, I dug my iPad 2 out of mothballs a few days ago, and discovered that I had no idea what games to put on it. So I figured I would start with asking you guys:

    What new RPGs should I put on it?

    I'm trying out Ku: Shroud of the Morrigan, but I know there are most likely some great RPGs that sing on the iPad.

    Some games I have already played (some more than others):

    Infinity Blade 1,2
    Final Fantasy 1,2,3,4
    Various Freemium city/farm/town building games
    Various KRPGs
    Ravensword: Shadowlands
    The Bard's Tale
    Stuff by Spacetime Studios (Arcane Legends, Pocket Legends, etc....)
    Bladeslinger
    Dragon Island Blue
    Wraithborne
    Knights of Pen & Paper
    King of Dragon Pass
    Most of Kairosoft's stuff
    Lili
    The World Ends With You
    Bullet Time HD
    Mission Europa
    10000000
    Rogue Touch
    Sword of Fargoal
    ORC: Vengeance
    Spell Sword
    Brand New Boy
    Elder Sign: Omens
    Waking Mars
    Dragon Keeper
    Dungeon Hunter 1,2,3
    Don't Run With A Plasma Sword
    Aquaria
    Dark Meadow
    A slew of Tower Defense games (Lich Defense to Gem Keeper to the Defender Chronicles series to Fieldrunners 2 and back)
    Anomaly Warzone Earth
    Mage Gauntlet
    Squids
    Tyrian
    Eternity Warriors 1,2
    Eternal Legacy
    Imaginary Range
    Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery
    Galaxy on Fire 2
    Battle for Wesnoth
    Battleheart
    Shadow Era
    Aralon: Sword & Shadow
    Dungeon Defenders
    God of Blades
    The Sandbox
    Dragon Fantasy
    Tunnel Tail

    So, my question is this:

    What RPGs not on this list should I get, and are they great on iPad?

    Some ground rules:

    Think twice about KRPG recommendations. I have a hard time finding KRPGs that I can truly enjoy beyond a perverse desire to grind, grind some more, and to top off all the grinding with a grinding cherry on top. If you know a good KRPG that has less grinding than usual, I'll check it out, but I make no promises.

    Any genre will do, as long as it has 2 hallmarks of RPGs: customization, and story. The story need not have logic or sense. The customization could be any aspect of the game.

    The game must be great, and you need to let me know why IYHO you think it's great. I'll listen, and I won't judge you ^_^

    No endless runners. Not for the iPad. Unless you have a recommendation that is iPad-specific and that'll knock my socks off. If it is universal, it'll end up on my iPhone 4S instead.

    Be aware that this is from my "Purchased" listing on my iPad. So please, if you suggest an iPhone-only RPG, be aware that I may not take a look at it, at least not at first.

    A couple games I won't consider:

    Bastion (have it on PC)
    The Walking Dead (will get it for PC)

    I'll update this as I hear people's feedback.

    Alright TA members, have at it!
