RPG-site.com intentionally has no personal reviews, since people’s tastes vary so much when it comes to RPGs that one person’s opinion seems of limited value. Also, my personal preferences tend to lean towards WRPGs and Classic RPGs, though I play loads of Action RPGs and KRPGs as well. But people have requested some recommendations, so here is my personal Top 10 list of iPhone RPGs to date - not necessarily in exact best-worst order, they’re all wonderful:
1. The Quest (and its expansions)
I’m a classic RPG fan, and The Quest and its expansions provide hours and hours of quality, interesting, role-playing questing combating fun. What adds to the experience is the really active, friendly and helpful community here, and the fact that expansions are still being made.
2. Undercroft
Just a wonderfully designed game, and one that is appealing and accessible to both new and less experienced RPG gamers, as well as veteran players. I truly loved this game.
3. Rimelands
Rimelands has a somewhat unique dice-based combat system, but one you will quickly adore. Just a great action RPG with a classic feel.
4. Sword & Poker 2
It’s kind of surprising to me, finding myself putting a Puzzle RPG on this list, but this game was so addictive. The game/combat mechanic was brilliant, as was the saving up for really useful weapons and armour. It truly felt like an RPG, not just a card game with RPG elements tacked on.
5. Yipe 5
Quirky and brilliantly fun retro-style RPG. It hits all the right buttons, and is a really satisfying playing experience.
6. Underworlds
A wonderful action RPG, that got even better when they expanded it to a second chapter with more sidequests. Lots of great gear.
7. Dragon Bane II
Very retro, but also very enjoyable (as is the other title on the engine, Princess Demelza). A very long game, and also one that is very gentle on your battery.
8. Crusade of Destiny
Another amazingly ambitious game, that also manages to deliver. Repetitive grinding/levelling drags it down the list a little, but you will get hours of productive and interesting gameplay from Crusade of Destiny.
9. Ravensword
A very ambitious game engine, that worked flawlessly even on the older-generation iPhone 3 I had at the time. The mini-games were great, and also showed off the engine very well. A bigger world, and more items, would have put this near the top of the list.
10. Dungeon Hunter
A graphically very impressive action RPG, which is also somewhat easier than the average game. Given how tough and grind-heavy a lot of action RPGs are, I actually found this refreshing.
Honourable mentions
Tap Quest - strangely satisfying and addictive retro action RPG
Puzzle Quest - long and well-designed Bejewelled-style puzzle RPG
Vay - cult classic RPG, highly enjoyable
