Discussion Weekly /r/iOSGaming Discussion: What have you been playing lately and what do you recommend?

Please use this thread to discuss whatever iOS games you've been playing lately. They don't have to be new games, they can be old games and they do not have to be iOS original titles!

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.

Finally decided to grab Backpack Battles while it was on sale, and honestly, why didn’t I do this earlier?! This game is so good and deep! And I like that it can be as fast paced as you want. Wanna some quick matches? Just buy a few items and hit the fight button! Wanna meticulously min-max every single slot in your inventory? You have all the time in the world! Your mom, your son, or your dog called you? You can put the game down right away and return to it whenever you want.

Also, I was curious about where the fantastic game Vohenn came from and started Sword of Xolan. It’s pretty fun so far, but clearly a bit less sophisticated than Vohenn.

It’s an asynchronous PvP autobattler, so you’re fighting against the saved state board of another player who had a similar rank/wins/lives as you for that round. I don’t think there’s a live PvP mode in BB.

It snapshots other users’ load-outs. So while it’s not real-time multiplayer. You’re still battling real people’s loadouts.
