If you've been a very good boy or girl this year, you might have got yourself a fancy new iOS device for Christmas. To help you get started, we're putting together quickfire lists of the best games on the App Store. In this entry, we're slashing slimes and picking abilities in the best RPGs.
The Shadow SunBy Ossian Studios - buy on iPhone and iPad
Veterans of Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, and The Witcher come together to forge an epic western-style action RPG for mobile. You'll sink weeks into this one.
Legend of GrimrockBy Almost Human - buy on iPhone and iPad
It doesn't get more old school than this. It's a proper dungeon crawler with puzzles, open-ended gameplay, and endless stats to worry about. They don't make 'em like this anymore! Except… when they do.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old RepublicBy Aspyr Media - buy on iPhone and iPad
A blast from the past. The very far-flung past, as this monstrous Star Wars role-player takes place centuries before the films. That gives it free reign to explore new and interesting aspects of the universe.
Final Fantasy VIBy Square Enix - buy on iPhone and iPad
Want some more J in your RPG? It doesn't get much better than Square's magnum opus, the Super Nintendo classic Final Fantasy VI. Huge, heartfelt, and exciting.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's CutBy Harebrained Schemes - buy on iPad
A terrific cyberpunk epic that somehow feels nostalgic and innovative at the same time. It's got great turn-based scraps, and a deep role-playing backbone of stats, decisions, and quests.
