Mass "What Should I Get?" Thread (2012 - 2017)

Any games similar to Star Trek Rivals?

 

I am gonna say
Order and Chaos: Duels
Transformers Generations
Ascension
These are the iOS TCGs I can think of that people here talk about.

 

I tried all of those but I like the simplicity of ST Rivals... Thanks.

 

Anything new worth buying?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I didn't see anything interesting since like 5 or 6 weeks ago. Maybe I missed something?

Stickman Tennis looks fine, I guess I'll give it a try.

 

Are there any games similar to animal crossing?

Finally getting an iPad Mini....Warhammer Quest or Frozen Synapse

So I'm finally getting an iPad Mini next week (birthdays are great).

Unfortunately I only have enough iTunes $$ for one of the games

I recently gained a love for tactical games and turned based games thanks to XCom Enemy Unknown. So now I have to decide between Quest or Synapse

I don't play online or multiplayer so I'm only judging the single player content.
I played the FS PC demo and it was great. Tons of tactical depth, a regular campaign plus a random skirmish mode and user generated content.

But Quest seems to have the more robust single player. Main quests, side quests, random events, randomized dungeons, loot, leveling, exploration, a game that truly a labor of love for the dev

So it's really hard for me to decide between the two

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions?

 

FS is great but will get greater with an update. Warhammer sounds like it could keep you busy until the update.
Warhammer?

 

Frozen Synapse. I played it on a friends pc it was awesome . Where did you get the demo?

 

Here:
http://www.frozensynapse.com/demo.html

You get a tutorial, three campaign missions, and the option to try a random skirmish. Cool thing is that the skirmish is different every time so the demo alone has a lot of content

 

I love FS. Warhammer is an unknown for me.

 

Best game of the past month? Any genre.

 

Badland

 

Well knights of the old republic just came out on iPad if you have ine

 

LEGO Batman & DC Superheroes. An all-around fun experience for anyone ages 1-100.

 

Finally getting an iPad Mini, what are good games and apps to get?

(Already have Infinite Blade 2, Repulze, Real Boxing, Sky Gamblers Storm Raiders, Anomaly Korea, Warhammer Quest)

I was considering Frozen Synapse, Ravensword Shadowlands, Capsized+, The Room, KOTOR, and Asphalt 7

Also any quality iPad-exclusive apps that take advantage of the bigger screen and more powerful processor?

 

The ones you consider (except maybe Capsized+), are great titles to play on the mini. Maybe instead of the Capsized+, you can get Waking Mars or Unmechanical.

Shmups are generally much better on the bigger screens, so if the mini is your first ipad (im assuming, you might be an iphone person), then Danmaku Unlimited 2, Phoenix HD and Darius Burst are all highly recommended.

Telltale games are also so much better on the bigger screen, so if you dont have a regular sized ipad, they are still great on the mini.

Some other great titles you can consider are EPOCH., Radiangames titles, some good FPS and 3PS (for me, much better to hold the pad on the mini than a regular ipad and play it like a console controller. I have small hands and my ipad3 is uncomfy when i play with 2 thumbs).

Consider Pinball games and playdek card games too.

As for ipad exclusives, I can only think of Machinarium since most good ones are universal anyways.

 

One of the games that you will be able to play on your iPad Mini, that your iPhone 4 could not handle, would be Karateka...
