My List Autumn Dynasty + Warlords Starbase Orion Mage Gauntlet Puzzle Quest PSF '13 Blazing Souls Accelate 10000000 868-Hack
Ridiculous Fishing A Darker Shade of Red Maximus The Journey Down Mikey Shorts & Mikey Hooks Spider-Man: Total Mayhem
SimpleRocket Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 GTA Vice City Wazhack Kingturn (trilogy) Terraria Astronot Jet Car Stunts 2 Indiana Stone Elemental Rage Swordigo 10000000 McPixel Heroes & Castles XCOM KOTOR Tried to include some well known and some lesser known. Edit : Kingturn trilogy of games are free to d/l and then have one time iap full game unlock. They are amongst the best SRPG on the platform with neat mechanics and a charming narrative. I consider them a paid game for the purpose of this thread.
My picks would include: KOTOR TWEWY Infinity Blade Trilogy Heroes & Castles Chaos Rings titles Zen Pinball Phoenix HD Icycle Monument Valley Limbo The Walking Dead EPOCH.1 and 2 Mass Effect Infiltrator Dead Space iOS Warhammer Quest Castle Doombad Bardbarian Anomaly 2 Battleheart Polara Adventure Beaks Boson X Temple Run 2 Rayman Run titles Sword & Sworcery Lili Bastion Alphadia Genesis Cytus Demons Score Repulze Riptide GP Super Hexagon Duet Fireball SE Kid Tripp Slayin Hearthstone Oceanhorn Monsters Ate My Condo Dungeon Raid (i think this is now pretty outdated though, but still one of the best if you havent played it yet)
Which gives you great gameplay, with 5,000,000 IAP's to boot!! Along with timers, an energy bar, and a pricetag of $99.99
Yes it's the best game ever. Developers nowadays take this would see this comment and take it seriously.
99.99 are they out of their minds?! That is crazy!!!! Why such a low entry price? I played it at my friends place and thought, It would be completely stupid to not sell my house and just live in my car to play this game. But, seriously... Best ios games of all time... Hmmmmm....
