iOS Gaming April 2017 | Canceled due to backlog
A joke on the discussion some were having last page about not needing any game releases in April 😁
I like this. Rather fitting .
The Room: Old Sins:

That would be bad.
According to Kotaku, it's the most enjoyable version out there (over the pc one too).
But I think it's an inherent problem now with all 'too old game' ports as many have multiple devices to play their games on and chances are they already played it to death if they were interested.
Not many, like some of us, refrain to play something hoping it will come to their most convenient platform.
Which is obviously sad.

The one about apple's mistake being witnessed from awhile back was pretty good.
here, from the man above me himself:
Man, I just can't get into these kind of games, and I have no nostalgia or history with Planescape. Glad to see it coming to iOS though, but it won't be one to buy. I might consider Baldur's Gate II: EE instead.

I found more secrets in my second Oxenfree playthrough than in all adventures I ever played combined, Simogo ones included.
It's AMAZING.
Found even a REAL USA phone number to call, where a recorded Alex voice tells you something.
It's AMAZING.
I think I'm going to fully complete it, with the super best ending (I think...I'm sure doing certain something is possibile).

When I finished my first playthrough of Oxenfree and
it ended in a time loop, I had thought it would be really cool if you could replay the game but have new dialogue changes and diverging plot due to it being a loop
And then the devs did a New Game Plus that did exactly that.
Oxenfree is amazing

Quick Oxenfree iOS question that I'm curious about:
Does it
?
I loved the game overall and I would've bought it on iOS if I hadn't already played through it twice on PC.
Does it
pull in your friends list names the way at least the PC version which I played does for the mirror visions

From Gamecenter.
Good stuff! Can always count on these devs to make use of everything.
Hmm...reading some of those spoilers from the point of view from someone who played Oxenfree on console is making me consider double dipping.
Still having to make trips to my father's house to clean it out and Oxenfree might be somewhat mellow diversion at night there being more narrative driven than action heavy.
Sunless Sea is way too involved for me right now as far as story driven games.

Semi OT, But iOS 10.3.2 just went up on beta following 10.3's public release and it is only for 64-bit devices. Another sign of full deprecation of 32-bit support for iOS 11 I wonder?
I highly recommend 10.3 in general if only for the APFS file system optimisations.

Gameloft's remastered N.O.V.A. game -- Legacy -- just launched on Android. What's interesting is that Droid Gamers is reporting that it may end up being Android exclusive.
Sounds like it sadly follows Gameloft's later business models with tons of F2P elements -- timers and tons of currency IAPs.
But rare for a "big" release especially to be on Android and not iOS. Probably not missing much though.

Some late impressions:
Golf Zero
Short but sweet. The controls feel tight and can be customized if you so desire so I never felt like a death was unfair or due to controls. Overall I really like this weird hybrid or platforming and golf. Shooting the golf ball in slow motion while you're about to plunge to your death has a satisfying feeling and makes for great Hail Mary-like moments. It is a little on the short side but levels are coming later for free so it should only get better from here.
Euclidean Lands
A nice little puzzler. I haven't finished it yet but I've like what I've played so far. The game does a great job of adding new elements to the puzzles at a nice and smooth pace so it never feels like you're being overwhelmed on any level. Gameplay has sort of a "lateral" feel to it where if you stop at the beginning and plan your moves ahead of time the levels can actually be beaten fairly quickly. I didn't do this when I first started playing instead just making moves and then trying to improvise when I hit a snag, not a good strategy I can tell ya. Overall one of the better puzzlers that have released recently.

Not available in US store, only U.K......
It's slowly being rolled out on all App Stores but it might take a few hours.
Edit:

It's good from what I played on Android. Last update also seemed to tone down the difficulty a bit. Still pretty challenging but probably their best game and much different than the original (this being more Metroidvania in design and rogue like with a bit of Spelunky flavor).
Hero Academy 2 (a name that should ring a bell for those who were there at the beginning of the App Store) has been soft launched in Sweden:

The original was great, played it for months!!!
EDIT: seems they went realtime this time???
Seems like it yeah or at least faster since it also says that you can play multiple games at a time. I liked the simplicity and predictability of the first one so I'm a bit weary of the card system but I'll try it tonight.
Fantastic news! I loved the first one and was really sad when they stopped updating it.
edit: just saw the comments about it being realtime now. I'm wary about the change but I'll still give it a shot.
It's supposed to happen at some point... Seems like a missed opportunity and should have happened a long time ago but maybe that's just me.

TypeShift is so damn addictive. My only complaint is the lack of base content. I'd prefer a small upfront cost with more base packs rather than the free app as it stands. I'm going to have to be careful I don't spend too much on all these additional packs...

Just got the new iPad that came out, what games have I been missing? I keep mildly up to date on iPhone but I don't have a plus so if it's some longer game or one that isn't so good on the phone I have put it off. I've currently got FTL, Crashlands , death road to Canada and steam world heist on it but am looking for anything that controls well or is just better on an iPad
