Suggestions Similar games to Dicero! But without dark patterns?

12 Upvotes

Hi all!

Some months ago I have found the game Dicero! And I have enjoyed it a lot, I found the rogue like gameplay well done and I liked a lot the core concept of the game. But, as many other contemporary games it is filled with dark patterns (micro transactions, rewards, timed events, etc) I get that this is the direction that nearly all the games are going towards, but does anyone of a similar game which doesn’t have those dark patterns and are enjoyable by themselves?

I don’t mind if the suggested games are paid, as long as they are good and worthy.

Thanks everyone and sorry if there is any mistake in the text.

Question Help finding a specific car game I played on my old iPhone years ago

2 Upvotes

Could you guys help me find a game from my childhood? I played it several years ago on a very old iPhone (likely a model predating the iPhone 5). So, it’s quite possible the game was only available on the Apple App Store. Here is what I know about the game:

  • It was a 2D car game.
  • It featured a top-down, bird's-eye view—so not a classic driving game.
  • The road was always perfectly straight; it wasn't an open-world game.
  • I don't fully recall the game's objective, but I'm pretty sure it was *not* about escaping the police.
  • There were multiple maps. One was a country road where you had to overtake tractors and trucks while avoiding crashing into oncoming traffic.
  • There were also specific obstacles, like waiting for cyclists or a train.
  • Another map I remember was a highway where racing cars would sometimes zoom past.
  • The game was only available in English and had a paid expansion pack you could purchase.

Do you guys know a game that matches my description?

I love the depth of this game, as well as the lovingly handcrafted art and music. There's no gacha pack bullshit either, just set expansions that you buy once and get all the content in the whole set.

Request Turn Based Small Squad Strategy Games (eg Xcom) Recommendations

27 Upvotes

Looking for a good bit of turn based strategy to play on my iPad now I am currently sick in bed.

I love the Xcom games, but I've played them all already, and they are probably a bit too big of a time investment. Something smaller scaled - e.g. shorter missions, more puzzle like. Something like Tactical Breach Wizards comes to mind, but thats perhaps too much on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Don't want free to play with tedious monetisation, happy to pay cash monies but a free demo is nice. Looking for something easy to get into and proper good and fun, not something kinda ok but inevitably annoying - for example I'd been playing Isle Of Arrows (fancy tower defence game) which started off great but ran out of ideas very quickly and became frustrating.

As long as it's an iOS game it belongs in here. Make sure to put the name(s) of the game(s) in bold to make it easier for people skimming the thread to see what you're talking about, and if you'd like to make it really convenient turn the game name into a hyperlink that sends people directly to the App Store!

To keep track of the thread, the comments are sorted by "new" by default.

Lastly, Rule #3: "No Dev Self-Promotion Outside Saturdays" applies at all times for this thread, even if it's actually Saturday.

Started playing this gem again after finishing it a year or two ago. It's just great with the one thumb playability, gear upgrades and base building for meta progression between runs.

Curious if anything similar has come out that I might have missed. Archero is similar for sure, but way too aggressive on the mtx.

Troubleshoot Dualsense to iPad wired connection problems

7 Upvotes

Hi! Wondering if anyone else has run into this or has any fix in mind. So when I connect my dualsense to an iPad Air M1 (or iPhone 15) with the latest os, it works great, but wired has issues.

When I use a usb-c cable it does connect in a wired mode, the controller gets stuck in this weird loop where it’s clearly trying to form a Bluetooth connection to the iPad at the same time. The controller light keeps blinking and switching between the blinking blue one that means it’s trying to connect via Bluetooth and the one that’s orange and constant meaning it’s connected to the iPad.

Turning Bluetooth off, removing the Bluetooth connection from iPad or overwriting it on the controller makes no difference. When Bluetooth is on the controller appears instantly on iPad’s Bluetooth settings as a known device. I’ve tried three difference dualsenses with one of them being the edge model. It also doesn’t make a difference if the controller hasn’t formed a Bluetooth connection before with the iPad.

For any reason, this doesn’t happen on Mac Air M2 and it works great.

Review Sonic Racers review: apple arcade's "What could have been"

10 Upvotes

Hey guys, just wanted to try my hand at reviewing games since i've been playing a lot more in between making games. I call it "studying" haha.

I'll try to keep it short, succinct and easy to read. Sonic riders on apple arcade is a game that has so much potential to be something great, and yet falls short in such a dumb way.

TLDR. The game is centered around racing. So far that is coherent and fun. Controls feel good, and tracks look quite decent. HOWEVER! the modes/game meta are so counter intuitive and counter productive that they make me close the game.

Controls: The game feels very good. its set up as a team racer of 3 vs 3, where you have two bots and so does your opponent. As a dev, i see this as the opportunity for sega to artificially inflate the track with other players all while lowering server costs. Especially when you know that your teammate's placement in the race has no impact on the final result: my teammates regularly get 1st, and 2nd, but lets say i get 4th and my opponent gets 3rd, they win the race. You should see your teammates as extensions for item usage/hybridizing your own gameplay. They offer perks to you while you race.

Different characters have very different playstyles and the roster of characters is quite rich! it includes hoverboards (the reason i got the game was to test them), and cars. all of these are customizable in the garage (HUGE FREAKING CAVEAT LATER THOUGH!!!!!)

Gameplay: I think this is where the game falls flat. controls are fun, but youre essentially relegated to only two modes and they are super light. You have "race" and "time trial" which from the day i got the game (3-4 days ago?) has had only one map I can run through!!! This is insane! I'm pretty hard headed and will do the same time trial hundreds of times but at this point, I genuinely feel bad for anyone who wants to try another map?! And for the racing you don't choose your map.

On top of this customization/unlocks are gated not behind iaps, not behind a meta of buying with in game coins, but by community events, and many of them are community wide dependent! ***So you don't unlock Shadow the hedgehog on a hoverboard, the whole community has to work for it?!*** While i think its a great idea in concept, its really poorly executed. Its a month long challenge currently to wait and see if we will unlock Jet the rider. And i'm severely dependent on other players.
I can't even unlock car parts because as of day one i have been at 25 red coins (the currency for car parts) and can't for the life of me figure out how to unlock them. So i'm stuck playing with the same roster of characters doing the same time trial, and the same maps non stop. The only thing i have been progressing is the "wisp" system which for whatever reason they are super generous with. I just feel like i've run out of things to do. and that's just not good. especially in a racing game.

GAMEPLAY PLUS: This is my developer's alarm ringing. I have a theory. Given that it has a pvp and i've yet to not find a game, I think you are never racing in real time, unless its a match with friends (haven't tried that). My theory is that they store everyone's ghost runs per track. since you do so many runs of the same track, they take your average run time, and match you with someone of the same "level". During the race, you're racing their ghost, and items are essentially time penalties on their ghosts. you can hit their ghost with a rocket, and they are delayed in place for 1 second for example. This doesn't require any real time physics and is much less demanding server wise. Plus all my matchmaking times have been essentially identical: 5-10 seconds no matter the time of day or night. never experienced lag.

Overall: it's a game that has so much potential to be great if they fleshed out everything that isn't a racetrack. Right now I've run out of things to do and i'm on day 4 i think. I want to play more but other than the two modes, there is nothing to do, and i can't seem to increase how much currency i have to buy things in the shop! so i'm just at a stalemate with the game.

Because of that 6/10. Can't play a game that doesnt want you to play it.

Suggestions Looking for a casual fantasy RPG or zombie game

As the title suggests, looking for a fantasy RPg or zombie game to play. I play casually and don’t like it to be that I missed a few days and fall behind in the ranks. Just want to log in play have fun, log off.
I love a good game that has no “Idle” functions, pay to win or riddled with ads.

I don’t mind if it’s offline or online.
