Anyone know if it’s possible to mod on stardew valley iOS at all ?? Don’t need anything fancy! I’m just lost without my chest everywhere mod. I’m lazy!!

I'm looking for a simple portrait mode strategic type of game that I can put countless amount of hours in. It shouldn't be too easy and I don't mind paying money if it's worth it. I just don't want any flashy childish looking games and it shouldn't be to easy. If you know any games in that direction, feel free to tell me about them. Thanks in advance :)

Will games like brawlstars and dredge (coning soon) likely run noticeably smoother?

For BS - does anyone have firet hand comparison experience?

any gamepad phone holder that will fit the specified gamepad? it is smaller than a standard xbox one so I'm not sure what to buy.

RetroArch iOS controller question. So I want to use my Hori RAP arcade stick to play games such as the King of Fighters '98 and Street Fighter IV on iOS, but I'm not sure whether an lightning to USB port will work. Can someone please tell me if my arcade stick is compatible and if so maybe provide a link to a relatively inexpensive converter that would work for iOS version 17.4?

I’ve been thinking about how awesome it would be if Apple introduced a dedicated Game Controller Mode in iOS 19, similar to Steam's Big Picture Mode. Here's why I think it’s a game-changer:

1. Enhanced Gaming Experience: Imagine navigating your games seamlessly with a controller. It would bring console-level ease and enjoyment to iOS gaming.
2. User-Friendly Interface: A streamlined interface optimized for controllers could make accessing and playing games smoother.
3. More Immersive Gameplay: With controller support, games like shooters and racing titles would be way more immersive.
4. Keyboard Support: Adding support for keyboards in games that don't currently support them would open up new possibilities and improve gameplay.
5. External Displays: Better support for external displays would make it easier to enjoy games on larger screens, turning your iOS device into a versatile gaming hub.
6. Competitor Edge: This could position the iPhone as a strong competitor to devices like the Steam Deck, Playstation Portal, etc., offering a unique gaming experience.
7. Resolution Support: Supporting more resolutions would enhance compatibility and visual quality across different devices and displays.
8. Growing Gaming Community: This feature could attract more developers to create or port controller-compatible games to iOS.

What do you all think? Would love to hear your thoughts and see if we can get Apple's attention!

Preferably nothing retro or 2D, and preferably something that’s still playable offline, though that’s not a requirement (I moved house recently, however the internet here isn’t great)

I do like a good bit of customisation, especially on the fashion side of things

I’m canceling my Apple Arcade membership to cut on subscriptions (cutting my Apple 1 family down to just music) for a few months. Well until April or May.

I do have one question on it do already downloaded games stay active or you can’t get into them if you’re not subscribed? There’s one game I’m unhappy about not having access to but if I can’t I can’t $7 isn’t worth it for one game.

Most of the games on there I bought outright before they were on there so not much loss overall just I’m looking to find out if I have another week of stitch or it will carry on.

Looking for recommendations for IPad games. Like Civ6, turn based, but more action. More focus on war strategy and action. Not online or multiplayer. I tried Total War Rome years ago but thought it started too slow.

I was tidying my phone (finally) and found Slay tucked away in a corner. No, not slay the spire. Just slay.

This game came to iOS in 2007, ported from an old windows game from 1995. And it still works. The last game update was a bug fix this year. The graphics look pretty outdated now, but then they would. Honestly though this is an absolutely perfect little strategy game.

The world is a hex grid made of randomly coloured tiles. Wherever there are two or more hexes of your colour you get a little hut, and control that territory. Each hex generates money every turn and you use it to buy little guys who can capture neighbouring hexes unless there’s a little enemy guy nearby, then he’ll stop you. Then you combine two guys to get a guy with a spear and stomp him. Three gets you a guy in armour, four a guy in armour with a sword. Each can stomp smaller ones. The trick is that you have to pay upkeep for the people in each territory each turn, and it goes up really steeply with each rank. This causes a deeply strategic balancing act of when you need to upgrade, the right time for power moves and a constant battle to hold territory. Cutting round behind an army of powerful soldiers and separating them from their supply lines will kill them all at the start of their next turn in an incredibly satisfying way.

Castles offer defence and are more expensive to buy but require no maintenance, trees spread and stop you earning money. After the initial learning curve (this is from the times before tutorials, read the manual screens!) the game is very simple to play but oh so deep.

Comes with a pretty competent AI, online play, local network play and a stupid number of maps (there’s another set you can buy but honestly I’ve been playing forever and I’m nowhere near through the ones that come with it)

It’s even got pirate and penguin skins included, and it’s a fiver. They don’t make them like this any more, and I want everyone to play it.

I’m looking for a good controller that can attach to the iPad Pro m4 11 inch. I’m not sure if the backbone or others that work on a cell phone will cut it for an iPad.

Hey, all!

Been playing the Pengu app with my (long distance) girlfriend the last few months. It’s been fun to have a “child” to take care of together, and we both enjoyed the little tasks we had to do, but we’ve both been playing less and less because, frankly, the app is tedious, so I’m looking for a replacement.

Firstly, the daily tasks- like “reach level 40 in (game)”- often do not work. The game you want won’t load, or the task won’t mark as completed. This basic functionality is off putting, to say the least.

Secondly, the mini games, which is the main method of earning coins to pay for food for your Pengu (aside, of course, from the endless barrage of micro transactions) aren’t… fun. There’s quite a few, but the only one you should really ever play if you’re trying to earn coins (and why would you play for any other reason, since they’re all janky versions of better apps) is the popcorn one. But your partner gets a notification every time you complete a game, which means if she gets playing the popcorn game, I will get a hundred notifications a minute (only slightly exaggerating) and it leads me to mute the app and miss when the penguin needs food.

Third and finally- as I mentioned, the app is just a festering pit of microtransactions and ads. I want something like this to keep up with my girlfriend, but this particular app is just frustrating.

For more info: we’ve played The Past Within (I’m currently away for work in a place with very limited wifi and that’s the only game we’ve managed to make work with synced co-op) and we like to play balatro at the same time etc., but this has filled a niche for us I’d like to see filled by a less janky app.

What’s the most interesting multiplayer PvP game with top mechanics and features? Ideally, one with relatively short rounds that can be played for an hour or even just 10 minutes. I’m a complete newbie at this and would like to get into something.

It would be great if the game had an active community, live updates for events like Halloween or Christmas, etc. I’m not interested in pay-to-win games, but I don’t mind buying packs now and then.

Yesterday, I played Brawl Stars for a bit, which everyone is talking about, and it looks pretty fun, but then I saw that Supercell released a new game—Squad Busters. I probably won’t have time to play both actively, so I’m wondering which one might be better to focus on.

I’m also reading about Smash Legends, Pokemon Unite. I used to play PUBG, but the matches there are longer.

What’s the best game for a noob to dive into for the most fun?

We’ve got amazing titles like Inscryption, Hollow Knight, Cult of the Lamb and Celeste on platforms like the Steam Deck and Switch, but they’re rare on iPhone.

Considering the power of Apple devices and the huge mobile gaming market, it seems like a missed opportunity. Sure, there’s the 30% App Store cut, but can that be the only reason?

I get that the cost of porting might hold some developers back, but it’s not a rule for everyone. Take Team Cherry, for example, they sold enough copies of Hollow Knight to afford a port.

PS: I’m talking about big indie companies that make PC/console games.

I’m looking for a good controller for my commutes around the $100 CAD range. I don’t mind going a bit over but can’t find good reviews. I just don’t trust amazing reviews.

Anyone got any suggestions? Is the gallileo any good? Razor kishi?

Edit: I have an iPhone 14 with a thin silicone case

Hello everyone,Back in 2012/2013/2014, i remember playing a hero/legend collecting RPG turn based game i really liked. But I've been looking for a long time for this game but cannot find it!

- It was turn based
- You collected heroes/legends and upgraded them by money earned via turn based duels
- You could buy rubies(i think) to speed up upgrading time
- Every hero/legend had around 2-4 attacks (all had really nice animations)
- Style of the game was kind of toon/stylized
- I think it was iOS only.

It sort of reminds me of Dungeon Boss. But the battles were way better (animations and camera movement) I have a vague memory about pocket, legend or heroes being in the games name.

Hope i can find some help here :)

Looking specifically for ww2 era games. I’m trying to find something like clash of clans but with tanks, planes, paratroopers and infantry. Things if that sort. I also enjoy idle games/ incremental games, something to play for the next few months

Edit: found one called ‘guns up’ which is pretty cool, and one called ‘battle island’. Those serve the purpose.

Are the game versions on Apple Arcade, Netflix Games, and App Store the same?
Do some of them receive updates while others don’t?
Or do some have more features than others?

I’m asking because I happen to have both Apple Arcade and Netflix, and I’m trying out games like Bloons TD 6. It seems like the same version of the game, but I see Halloween themes on the Netflix version, whereas there are none on Apple Arcade.

To sum up - I’d like to stick with either Apple Arcade or Netflix, but I’m not sure which one would be better to keep.

Last time I asked this I got recommended exiled kingdoms which wasn’t exactly what I expected but it was fucking awesome.

Not really looking for an mmo necessarily just something with a similar gameplay loop.

It was on the app store back in like the ipod touch 4 days. REAL old school, you’d get little plots of land to build up like factories of differing types. I don’t know how to explain what else you did in the game, it was kind of like you did “missions” (clicked do mission X lol) you had limited energy to do missions (thats how they monetized it)

Really miss it. The dev had like 3 games that were all the same thing but different time periods/themes
