Summer has begun and far from what we can think, the telephone is going to occupy a large part of our free time, unfortunately. If we go to the beach or the pool, the forest or the mountains, the iPhone will be there to help us spend the best time possible. That is why we are going to bring you a famazing collection of indie games with which you can have a great time.
And is that these games have not been created by the "great developers", but by avid developers who had a fantastic idea and got to work with few resources. These are the masterpieces of indie games that we have available on the iOS App Store.
Limbo
We start with this award-winning two-dimensional platform video game, whose success has been so notorious that it has been passed on to various platforms such as PlayStation 4. The reality is that the protagonist of the game is a child, hence the game is based precisely on Limbo. A kind of sadistic horror-humor accompanied by the darkness produced by its black and white graphics, which will surely catch you. Although in large part the idea of the game is that you make mistakes, much of the challenge of the video game is precisely not to fail.
It is true that on some occasion the game may take you out of your mind, but it is designed to get you fully into the story, and if you give it the opportunity it deserves, you will undoubtedly get it. Give this indie developer story a try that it will not leave you indifferent.
Monument Valley / Monument Valley 2
We face one of the best indie video game sagas of platforms and puzzles that we can throw in the face. Indeed we have to devise them so that the pieces fit into this world in three dimensions, with the sole intention of "forming the bridge" by which our protagonist can reach the other side. The reality is that the game is worth it from start to finish, both the soundtrack and the graphics and its difficulty have made it a classic on the iOS App Store that no self-respecting gamer will miss.
It is a video game for all audiences and for all types of users, it will be able to catch the adolescent most used to FPS, and the adult who is fond of sudoku puzzles. Another masterpiece that you should not miss, otherwise you will miss one of the most interesting stories available for iOS.
Papers, Please
This one happens, this one does not… basically we are going to position ourselves as determining parties in a border. We are going to choose, depending on the information provided to us, what kind of people are going to get the necessary paperwork to become part of the country we work for. It is a difficult but entertaining job at the same time, and the future will depend in part on how well we know how to do it, however, the game has a certain added luck that will make it unpredictable and will keep us in almost constant.
Using only the documents provided by the travelers and the primitive inspection, registration and fingerprint identification systems of the Ministry of Admissions, you must decide who enters Arstotzka and who should be rejected or arrested.
Do not miss this story, also available in the iOS App Store that is totally addictive, with more than twenty different endings and 31 full days.
Brothers: A tale of two sons
In this history We will have to control two characters, with the intention of solving all kinds of difficulties that are not raised while advancing. The reality is that the game is progressively complicated, although the knowledge and management that we acquire over time are appreciated. Pretty good graphics considering the iOS port, and the controls are pretty intuitive too. On the other hand, the story basically leads us in the search for an element / medicine that is vital for the future of the protagonists and their family relationships.
Certainly leaves us too a soundtrack and some great designs that we cannot let go of taking into account that in iOS there are not exactly these types of video games when we talk about small developers.
Pavilion
This game of raw jigsaw puzzle He left us all amazed in his day thanks to how elaborate his panoramas are and the ins and outs that most of his riddles hide. This is how the developer company offers it to us in the App Store:
Pavilion, an award-winning game and an IMGA nominee from Visiontrick Media. This fourth person puzzle adventure plunges you into a mysterious and evocative world without any initial tutorial or explanation.
Guide the mysterious protagonist through a dreamlike environment where reality and fantasy intermingle.
The game goes far beyond the visual, you will have to take into account the sounds, the lights and everything that surrounds the character. Undoubtedly, we are not facing a simple game with which to pass the time, but something more complex to which we will have to dedicate practically all five senses, although we hope not all five, sucking on the mobile phone is not going to be a good idea ...
Transistor
Do you remember Bastion? Well, if you don't remember, as we are in a selection of the best indie games, I will take the opportunity to recommend it to you, so we do two for one. So, if you haven't played Bastion, it's a good time to head over to the App Store and try this fantastic game.
But now let's talk about Transistor, a game created by the Bastion developers themselves. The role-playing format with sci-fi atmosphere comes directly to the App Store. A highly futuristic environment in which we will have to fight to achieve our goals. It is adapted in a fantastic way to touch controls, and despite looking like a turn-based system, it also includes a slight ingredient of instant action, just enough so that it does not seem heavy or boring at any time. Without a doubt Transistor is one of those games that you should not miss like this because like this.
Kingdom: New Lands
The truth is that the pixelated graphics of the late eighties and early nineties do not fail. In this game you must fight for maintain your kingdom, and if possible, dominate neighboring kingdoms. It is the second part of the award-winning Kingdom, and if you have ever heard that the second parts are not good, in New Lands it is the opposite, since this time they have included many new features.
Kindgdom: New Lands is a game that wants you to figure things out on your own. You will find mysterious objects, NPCs and statues that will help you, but it will be you who must discover how they will assist you in the construction and defense of your kingdom.
Be brave, dominate and fight to the bitter end, or let the new lands of the New Lands conquer you.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this video game is precisely its soundtrack, although the gameplay and the history it has are not far behind. In addition, it is another of those chosen by Apple in its list of the 20 highest quality indie games in the App Store.
Don't Starve: Shipwrecked
This is the story of a shipwreck, and yes, Wilson is also involved. You have ended up on dangerous islands after the shipwreck, and you must find your life, or lose it along the way. Food will become a concern, but you must also protect yourself from those who come for you, practically everything wants to kill you on those islands ... You must sail to the open sea with a boat that you have made yourself, and take the opportunity to explore that totally new world, with plants and animals that you have never seen. And not only that, the weather will also play against you in this fast-paced story.
Reigns
As simple as it is effective, this is one of the games that will make you believe that it is bullshit but you will not be able to stop playing it once you start ... We will practically only see small cards and we will have to decide with a "Yes" or a "No", but everything could be extremely complicated. Our only intention will be to stay in power for the maximum time and raise our kingdom to maximum power., but it will not be easy, since the game hides stories of all kinds, even burning witches, as the developers themselves comment. The reality is that it is a kind of story via cards that will make you feel inside it really quickly and that we do not recommend that you get lost in any way. So take the opportunity to take a look.
This has been, in our opinion, the best indie games for iOS, collaborate with us if you miss any and tell us what you think of these.
