    I don't think that there is anything particularly similar on iOS. Crimson Gem Saga suggested by Darth Ronfar is a decent JRPG with lavish production values and bad controls, but not similar at all, IMHO. What aspects of it did you like?

    is there a game like Kingdom Hearts on iOS?
    I loved the simplistic hacking and slashing, but in the same time it was more then a game for me, it was a real adventure. I felt touched by the story, and behind the simple gameplay was a much deeper system.

    I liked that it was very linear, that it didn't concern itself with a whole lot of story and was just basically trompsing through fighting stuff and leveling up. The same things that made me like Icewind Dale more than Baldurs Gate is the same reason I liked this game. I like RPG's that are basically fight this get better equipment, upgrade your stats, now fight this and get better loot..rinse repeat with just enough story to keep it moving along so you at least have some reason to be doing it.. One thing I absolutely despise is a wall of text, followed by another wall of text.. I also liked that there was no grinding, it was just a constant stream of moving the plot along and battles with appropriate upgrades so you didn't have to grind. oh and I also liked the battle mechanics.

    As far as cirmson gem saga goes, reading user reviews it says ios5 really screwed it up, so at $10 will pass until they patch it.

    I'm looking for some awesome $0.99 game. One that I can pick up and play and one that's original. I have a couple of games in my wishlist that may fit the description, but I'm open to suggestion (Actually, I prefer suggestions!)

    The games:
    Run Roo Run
    Muffin Knight (I already have SCB)
    They Need to be Fed
    Tiny Wings

    The other day I asked for games like Cut the Rope because I had previously dismissed all physics puzzles as "not my genre" and someone suggested Where's My Water. I bought that and it's great. So thanks! I'll also check out some other suggestions later on, but for now it is nice to have those two games to switch between.

    If you like Where's My Water you should check out Critter Chaos. The first 20 levels are free and it's a blast to play. Definitely takes more thought than Angry Birds ... I would say it's on par with Where's My Water, though there's an added element of slime that you have to use to help solve the puzzles.

    Can't say I'm not disappointed with a lot of games not having GC support (more so achievements). I liked achievements even before I got into the short term iOS gaming world and I do miss them in games. Is it something I've trained my brain to like...possibly.

    With that being said, I'm really gonna start cutting back on games that don't have it.

    So, I think tonight, I'm for sure buying:

    Unstoppable Gorg Edit Nooo!!! It's an iPad exclusive. :(
    Frederic Resurrection of Music


    Games with GC achievements I'm on the fence about:

    M.A.G
    GroundCats
    Coco Dash
    Jet Dudes
    TAMAMON

    Games w/GC support that don't specify achievements:

    PuzzleJuice
    Ash II

    Games that don't have GC support that I kinda still want:

    Jazz: Jump's Adventures (will prolly get...sigh)
    Time of Heroes
    Niko

    I think I'll just pick up Smash Cops, Ash II, Time of Heroes, and try Niko for free tonight. Going to wait and see with the other releases. Want to see Apple's new N&N list first as usual before picking up games I'm not too sure about.

    I've totaly lost my drive to play on the iOS, usually I love playing on my iPhone and iPad.

    I just seem to lose interest in all games I try.

    What I want is:

    1: An RPG
    2: Interesting combat, preferable real time but Turn based is ok
    3: A world to explore, as non linear as possible
    4: Some kind of Loot system where you find loot, preferably Diablo-esque
    5: Graphics don't matter
    6: Translation is not a big issue
    7: Some kind of online would be fun
    8: A challenge!

    What I've tried so far, some I've completed and some I've lost interest in:

    Aralon - Complete
    Inotia 2 - Complete and one of the greatest games on the iOS, and very good over all.
    Crimson Heart - Hard to find the will to play
    Inotia 3 - Wortless
    Fall of Angels - To much JRPG
    O&C online - Ok, but sooooo slow leveling
    Pocket legends - Feels very repetetive
    Dungeon hunter 1 - Complete
    Dungeon hunter 2 - worthless
    Dungeon hunter 3 - Come on
    Battle Heart - Completet
    Heroes vs monster - To linear and repetetive
    Zenonia 1, 2, 3, 4 - Played, hard to keep interest up due to repetetiveness
    Lost Odessy - Complete

    Probably played about 20 more, but these give a good hint to what I might enjoy

    I would be VERY greaful if anyone can come up with a good suggestion.
    Might not even be listed as an RPG but still have the right components.

    Thanks

    I'd actually recommend King of Dragon Pass, but it's storybook style. However, if you're looking to get lost in a game then this is it!

    Read these to get a better idea!

    TA Review 5/5

    Slightly Dreanged My favorite review because he nails it on the head... "King Of Dragon Pass is like reading a book; more so, it’s like writing your very own legendary story. In fact, when you finish the game you have the option to review the entire story of your clan which can be dozens of pages long. It’s truly fascinating to experience the progression from a puny bunch of villagers to a sprawling tribe. The emotional involvement is strong as you make critical choices that enrage your farmers or lose a battle and watch your warriors feel weak and pointless. It always feels like there’s something happening in Glorantha and the rest of the clans are cunning with a well-defined personality."

    I'd also say look into Ash I & II.

    Hey all,

    1. I'm actually looking for a "casual" game. Something along the lines of Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Tiny Wings. Something that is easy to pick up and play, but you can spend hours playing if wanted and with high replay value.
    I've got games like Jetpack Joyride, Mega Jump, Fruit Ninja, Tiny Tower, Super Crate Box, Flight Control, Fragger, Scribblenauts, Spy Mouse, Hero Academy, etc already if that helps.

    Not looking so much specifically for an arcade-style game, but not really shooting or racing games, rpg elements could be okay or maybe a platformer but nothing too in-depth - maybe a puzzle game? But yeah, basically something challenging but with simple gameplay would be great!

    2. Match 3 games. I've played games like Call of Atlantis, Plock, Dungeon's Raid - but I'm looking for a new one. Something maybe with a good story or campaign mode, good graphics and replay value.

    If someone can help me that'd be awesome!! Thanks alot :D

    Ash seems extremely linear and JRPG.
    Am I completely wrong on that point?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I've heard it before and I think I'll have to try KODP very soon :)

    tt4: some titles off the top of my head, in no particular order: Bring Me Sandwiches (casual platformer with katamari-influences), Monsters ate my Condo (crazy match 3), Where's My Water (physics puzzler), Crazy Hedgy (wonderful 3d platformer), Don't Run With a Plasma Sword (endless runner with XP powerups and missions), Harbor Master (flight control with boats - but not just a clone), Run Roo Run (micro platformer, normal levels are super easy, extreme levels super hard, but if recommended if you're explicitly looking for simple games), Joining Hands (interesting puzzler).
