Perhaps the only RPG I like it more than any other game genres. Nonlinear, intricate plot, winning back the role, difficult moral dilemmas and the impact on the world around us - that's what distinguishes from other RPG interactive entertainment. Now has the benefit of tablets and smartphones, which will help pass the time with your favorite characters, dive into the huge worlds and make a long trip. I'll tell you about the ten most interesting representatives of the genre that is already available in the Apple App store.
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2: Enhanced Edition
Let's start with the classic, well-known, I think everyone who is not indifferent to the role-playing games. Amazing, incredible and addictive journey of hundreds of hours. Classic Party RPG with battles in real-time and active pause.
Both parts of the game have been adapted for mobile devices, but the basic concept has not changed. And it is certainly worth noting. After all, for the remake is quite a rarity. Alter and spoil developers manage to not so often. But, fortunately, this is not the case.
For all those who missed at the time these great games - strictly necessary for the inspection. For now, all you have to do - just download the game from the App Store and launch it. And we once juggled five CD-disks and spent on the installation of an hour of real time.
Price: 599 rubles
Price: 749 rubles
Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
Another classic hit, somewhat inferior in depth and elaboration of the previous games. The visual component, as well as the setting, congenial both Baldur's Gate, but the basics of the game are the battles. The game is less dialogue and your impact on the world, but the plot and tactical fights (with the same active pause) permanently mesh and do not let go of Icewind Dale, until the screen will not run titles.
Another obligatory purchase for those who want to join the classics, but for various reasons could not.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
One of the best role-playing games, in which I played. And the best (not afraid of big words) - on the Star Wars universe. Released in 2003, the game won numerous awards and has been treated kindly by critics as a game, and casual gamers. And not just that. SW: KotOR, although it looked like a 3D, third-person shooter, still remained a classic party role-playing game (yes, and then the active pause). And there was a plot! Yes, there are twists and shocking revelations, even loved by many "Game of Thrones" there. I'm serious. At the end of the game there was a moment when I have, naturally, jaw dropped.
BioWare for this was probably the peak of perfection. All they surprised in the past games (including BG and IWD above), concentrated in that. Even sequel was much worse, not to mention the recent games studio, such as Dragon Age: Inquisition. Skip - it is not recommended.
Price: 749 rubles
The Bard's Tale
You - the savior of the world! On your shoulders a great responsibility for the fate of millions of people! Evil and insidious demon decided to conquer the Earth and destroy all life. Only a brave hero can resist evil and save all life from imminent destruction! But not in the The Bard's Tale.
In this unusual role-playing game we pursue only their own selfish goals - to fill the purse, stomach, yes ohmurit women. Forget about the universal evil, there are better things to do: in the nearest tavern probably already tired of waiting for a bottle of rum.
InXile unusual game from the studio it has gained popularity due to the subtle humor and derision all the known role clichés. The Bard's Tale at one time attracted the attention of not only fans of RPG, but also those who were not familiar with the genre. And at the same time he joined the ranks of the first.
XCOM: Enemy Within
And now for the representatives of the more modern. The new, expanded part of XCOM - a masterpiece of the tactical role-playing games of recent years. Originally appeared on PC and consoles already past generation, has won numerous media awards, and then went out on mobile devices from Apple.
Interesting story, having worked tactical component (here the battles take place entirely in turn-based mode) and notorious universe did their job. The game is very difficult to break away, until completely destroy the alien invaders and otvoyuesh Earth.
Continued, XCOM 2, already announced. The release will take place towards the end of the year, but only for PC and Mac. However, it is possible that the sequel will bypass the console and iOS-devices in the future.
Price: 149 rubles
Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall
One of the most successful projects on Kickstarter - role-playing game on the Shadowrun universe where technology and magic, elves and humans, blasters and incantations exist side by side.
At sufficiently linear narrative of the game from the first minute intriguing detective story unusual: you have to get to the truth and unravel the mysteries of the incredible. Interesting tactical battles in turn-based mode, great atmosphere and history (unfortunately, not as long) certainly deserve attention.
Special supplement - Shadowrun: Dragonfall - game with new characters and plot in the same setting, in no way inferior to the original. Not surprisingly, in the near future we will see another addition - Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Players willing to carry money on Kickstarter, the developers of the company Harebrained Schemes. And no wonder.
The Banner Saga
Since we are talking about crowdfunding, not to mention the project by Stoic - a small studio, founded by immigrants from BioWare. Painted turn-based tactical RPG only seems cute. In fact, for the entire cartoon animation are very complex moral dilemmas, difficult story and not one death.
The Banner Saga - it's only the beginning. Ahead of us waiting for two more parts. Grim, difficult but fascinating. In the best tradition of the already mentioned above the "Game of Thrones."
Price: 749 rubles
Bastion
But let's finish on something more positive. For example, on the Action / RPG from the team Supergiant Games - Bastion. Interesting story, great visual design, beautiful soundtrack and unusual storytelling through the narrator behind the scenes. All this allowed the fame game, and with it, and the studio, which later released no less interesting Transistor, which (I hope) will also be ported to our and your iOS-device.
Of course, this is not the whole list representatives of the genre, which can be found in the App Store. There are also fully mobile exclusives like Dungeon Hunter or Ravensword. Even projects that fully sharpened by an online game like Order & Chaos Online. And they are good in their own way. But the game in the top - this is a classic, to play that all fans of the genre a must. You will not regret it.
