Gearburn’s Pick: Best RPG’s for the iPhone, iPad

Games on the iPhone and iPad are challenging traditional handheld gaming systems such as the Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita.

One of the reasons for this is that they offer instant gaming gratification and inherently low-cost gaming titles — most games are generally priced under US$1. The Apple devices own most genres, neatly encompassing shooters, driving sims, fighters and role-playing games into its catalogues. Sure, Skyrim may be light-years away from appearing on the iDevices, but these games are ideal time wasters with hours of fun to be had. What then are the dominant RPG’s on the iPhone and iPad? Here’s our pick.
