Gift cards have been and remain a good present for all Apple technology users. When you don’t know how to please the owner of an iPhone or iPad, give him money for content.
If after New Year's holidays your iTunes account has been replenished with several hundred or thousand rubles, now we’ll tell you what you can spend these funds on.
Here are ten paid games that are worth every penny spent. There are both relatively new masterpieces and well-forgotten applications that slowly and quietly appeared in the App Store.
1. Human Resource Machine
A cool puzzle that requires basic programming and logic knowledge to complete.
Real coders will find it easy and banal, but those who do not connect their lives with monotonous coding will be happy to complete the first 20-30 tasks. To complete missions with the maximum mark or completely complete the storyline, you will have to work hard.
The player will have to use a basic set of commands to create an algorithm to complete the task. At first there will be banal searches and sorting of data, and later you will need to look for unique values, build chains and special sequences.
The game is completely localized, all tasks, tips and training are translated.
2. Space Marshals 2
Continuation of the popular isometric shooter on mobile platforms. The game will delight you with beautiful graphics, varied levels and several options for passing.
Almost any location can be overcome in stealth mode or you can break in and crush all the enemies. During the breaks we will have to equip our fighter, because with each mission the number of enemies will grow.
Not every shooter fan can get through the last 20-30 minute shootouts without dying.
For whom: The game will be appreciated by all fans of shooting games and games with stealth missions.
3. Concrete Jungle
It's like a casual puzzle with elements of collecting and leveling up a deck. The player must build up the area with various buildings, combining the positive and negative effects of each of them.
There is a good one story line, which helps you understand the basics of the game, understand the features of most buildings and master all the characters in the game. Then you can play random tasks to improve the city or fight duels with opponents.
The game is very replayable, many cards and abilities of the main characters allow you to create an infinite number of combinations from different houses, factories and enterprises, getting maximum profit.
For whom: It will appeal to everyone who loves games about city development; it will be interesting to fans of unusual puzzles and deck-building applications.
4. Transistor
The game has long migrated from the console world to iOS; the creators of the famous masterpiece are responsible for its development Bastion.
An exciting indie RPG about a girl traveling through futuristic labyrinths with her programmable sword. It is with the latter that the main theme of development in the game is connected. As the player progresses, he will discover new abilities and skills, fitting the most useful ones within the sword's memory capacity.
There is a fairly long interesting plot with tactical turn-based battles.
For whom: for fans of light mobile RPGs and fans of Bastion.
5. Bully: Anniversary Edition
At one time, this “school GTA” passed me by; initially, in 2005, the game was exclusively for consoles, and a few years later, when it was ported to PC, there were plenty of other interesting projects.
I enjoyed playing through the game after its release on iOS and recommend it to you. Growing up as a difficult teenager in a specialized school is no less intense than the adventures of bandits in any of the games in the GTA series.
Before us is a small but rich open world with many main and secondary tasks, several vehicles and a dozen types of weapons. You can become a diligent student and attend all classes, completing mini-games, or you can become a real leader of one of the local gangs.
For whom: will appeal to everyone who prefers games with an open world and freedom of action for the main character.
6. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
At the moment, this is the best and largest creation of Rockstar Games on mobile platforms. The game from 2004 still amazes with its diversity.
A huge territory, many missions, gangs, relationships with girls, pumping up a car, buying real estate, developing a business, customizing the main character, side missions, searching for hidden objects, etc. All this is available right on the iPhone and iPad screen.
You can go through any of the previous games in the series, but it is in San Andreas it will get “stuck” for long hours.
For whom: for all fans of the GTA series and those who don’t miss decent action games with a third-person view.
7.Titan Quest
The best analogue of Diablo on iOS. The game contains about 60 hours of gameplay with character leveling, a skill tree and hundreds of different types of weapons.
Here you will be pleased with pleasant old-school graphics, convenient controls and Russian-language localization.
For whom: for fans of long-running RPGs.
8. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Another cool port from more advanced gaming platforms that should be in the collection of every aspiring Jedi.
The game focuses on role-playing game and non-linear progression. Get ready for character development, dialogue with different outcomes, and plenty of supporting characters along the way.
For whom: for those who missed this masterpiece on consoles and PC at one time, fans of the universe should definitely play Star Wars.
9. GRID Autosport
Today this is the best racing simulator on iOS. The game will squeeze all the juice out of the iPhone and iPad to produce a decent picture.
There are many tracks, disciplines and cars, basic tuning of car settings and different kinds single or team competitions.
There is no donation, running out of gas and endless opening of packs with useless things. Only racing in all its forms.
For whom: a game for all fans of car competitions, the game settings will allow you to flexibly choose the difficulty from a simple arcade to a complex simulator.
10. Heroes of Might and Magic III
A deceptively simple arcade game with stylized neon graphics that amazes with the depth of the plot and the variety of gameplay. Playing as a small data deliverer inside a computer, you will witness the birth of artificial intelligence and the beginning of the machine uprising.
2. Bendy in Nightmare Run
A beautiful black and white runner in the spirit of classic 1930s cartoons, in which you need to run away from huge bosses. While overcoming obstacles on various levels, you must not forget to collect bricks, anvils and axes in order to use them to fight off monsters and their minions.
3.PinOut!
Addictive pinball with lush neon graphics and a synth-pop soundtrack, adding variety to the gameplay due to endless tables and time limits. Each of the levels here is decorated in its own style and has a complex design with traps, bonuses and shortcuts.
4. The Battle of Polytopia
An addictive turn-based strategy with minimalist graphics and procedural map generation. Lead one of the tribes and lead it to world domination, competing with other communities. Develop technologies, discover new lands and prove to everyone that you are the best ruler.
5. Slydris
An addictive puzzle game with game mechanics a bit like Tetris. Your task is to clear the playing field by filling the lines. However, this is done here somewhat differently: the pieces cannot be turned over - they can only be moved. But this applies to all blocks, including those that have already fallen.
6. Clash Royale
An explosive mixture of online strategy with fast, short battles and fun gameplay. By making a deck with troop cards and using resources wisely in battle, you need to defeat another player. Attack your opponent's towers, but don't forget to defend your own: the course of the battle can change dramatically in an instant.
7. Disc Drivin' 2
Unusual turn-based racing with exciting gameplay. It sounds absurd, but it's true. In this game you will have to push the disc over and over again, trying to guide it along a difficult track, so as not to fall into a trap and get to the finish line as quickly as possible.
8. Look, Your Loot!
A funny card roguelike about brave mouse warriors storming dark dungeons for loot. By opening cards adjacent to the hero, the player receives bonuses, fights off monsters and escapes from traps scattered here and there. As you progress, you can improve your characteristics, as well as discover new classes of fighters, allowing you to use other tactics.
9. Threes! Freeplay
An amazing number that will make you really strain your brain. To score the maximum number of points, you need to stack the tiles with each other - threes with threes, sixes with sixes, and so on.
The difficulty is that to get threes you first need to add one and two. The numbers appear in any order, after just a few moves there is less space on the field and this is where the fun begins.
10. It's Full of Sparks
A life-affirming platformer about little firecrackers who live as long as their fuse burns. To prolong their lives, they need to learn the secret of the fireproof cord from their ancient relative. And to do this you will have to get through many dangerous levels, overcoming all the traps and obstacles.
Love is such a beautiful topic. How many films about love do you remember? I would immediately name several dozen... And the songs? Yes, there are hundreds of them... In games with the theme of love, everything is noticeably more complicated. What if you narrow your search to just the mobile platform? Finding decent games about love is becoming even more difficult... However, I have selected 6 great games for you!
Love You To Bits
When I say “games about love,” I immediately remember this indie masterpiece from Alike Studio. One of the best games of 2016! Love You To Bits is the story of the unearthly love of the boy Cosmo and the robot girl Novo. The girl falls apart and Cosmo puts her back together piece by piece. To do this, he must visit several planets. The level of cuteness in the game is off the charts...
The game is notable for the fact that each level is a separate work of art. There is no central mechanic here - the levels are all varied. Well, touching cartoon memories will make you sincerely worry about the main characters...
Octodad: Dadliest Catch on iPad
Love comes in different forms... Octodad: Dadlies Catch begins with an octopus marrying an ordinary girl. She, intoxicated by the most wonderful feeling in the world, does not notice her husband’s visual shortcomings. Next, the octopus will have to lead the life of a real family man...
Octodad is a daring and sometimes crazy toy with stupid controls! But the octopus’s attempts to integrate into modern society and become an excellent husband are admirable and cover all the shortcomings.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Love for their dying father pushed two brothers to make the most unforgettable journey of their lives. One of the coolest and most touching stories I've ever played on a tablet. In Brothers, you control two brothers using two separate sticks, guiding them through the dangers of a beautiful world.
This is a trip that you will remember for the rest of your life...
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
The love story of 4 people and one dog, who were separated due to the First World War. A quest in which everything is perfect: plot, gameplay, art. There is a lot of useful and interesting information about that war, so I perceive Valiant Hearts not only as a toy, but also as an educational product.
The game consists of 5 full episodes (each 1-2 hours long), connected into a single storyline.
Download (first episode free)
Fingle
Fingle is perfect for playing with your significant other. Those who see this application for the first time are usually delighted. The wow effect is guaranteed.

A selection of the best games for iPhone that will help you pass the time, get rid of boredom, or simply appreciate the variety of projects presented on the iOS platform.
Unfortunately, we can't yet go for a walk with our PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch in our pocket (at least not yet). But the iPhone, with its modest dimensions, is ideal for all gamers who prefer to play games on the go. The only problem is finding a high-quality and truly exciting game.
There are thousands of different options on the App Store, and unless you're willing to download each one to see how good it is, search interesting games can be quite difficult. That's why we decided to save you time (and nerves) and compile a list of the 25 best games for iPhone.
Genre: Card game
DownloadWe take the basic foundation of solitaire, add a mathematical scoring system and an unusual visual style, add a pinch of strategy and - voila! – we get Miracle Merchant. You use random cards to create potions for customers.
If you don’t forget about your visitors’ favorite ingredients, you can earn extra points. And if you run out of the most popular ingredients, you lose. Colorful, funny and surprisingly addictive game.
Genre: Racing simulator
DownloadData Wing is a rather inventive racing simulator with 2D physics, unexpectedly interesting philosophical dialogue and an amazing vaporwave soundtrack. The best thing is that you have nothing to lose by trying the game because Data Wing is completely free. There aren't even the typical free-to-play "support the developer" buttons that turn off ads or open additional content. We recommend downloading the game, at least for the music.
Genre: Puzzle / Adventure
DownloadIf you judge the quality of games by the number of awards they win, then you should know that Lumino City was awarded a BAFTA in 2015. And it's not hard to see why. This is a great adventure game with various puzzles, created entirely from paper, cardboard, lanterns and other objects from the real world.
You play as a girl named Lumi, who goes in search of her missing grandfather, along the way revealing all the secrets of the world of Lumino City. Each location here looks simply mesmerizing and rich in detail, and the puzzles will make you really strain your brain.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadIn this colorful game, gameplay is based on changing perspectives. At the beginning of each level in Vignettes you are given a specific item. And if you spin it on the screen, it smoothly turns into something else. The concept itself sounds simple enough, but every surprise at Vignettes is magical. This is a game for true connoisseurs of non-standard experiments.
21. Alto's Adventure
Genre: Platformer (endless running)
DownloadMost snowboarding games portray it as a big, noisy, adrenaline-pumping sport. Alto's Adventure offers us a calmer and more peaceful take on the topic.
Here we slowly descend the picturesque slope, rescuing llamas and collecting flags along the way. Quite a cute and relaxing game with wonderful music.
20. Old Man's Journey
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadIf you're looking for an indescribable feeling of nostalgia, then you should immerse yourself in this rich story dedicated to memories and regrets. Local art style will remind you of old children's books and simple puzzles (the main task in each level is to move elements of the landscape so that the old man reaches the end of the screen).
This is a calm, cozy and leisurely game, while playing through it you just want to wrap yourself in some old blanket.
Genre: Puzzle / Adventure
DownloadThe Rusty Lake series consists of three games: Rusty Lake Hotel, Rusty Lake: Roots and Rusty Lake Paradise. But, believe me, it’s worth starting with Hotel. As in classic adventure games, in Rusty Lake Hotel you must constantly solve various puzzles in order to obtain the items necessary to advance the plot.
Hotel stands out from other games in the genre due to its unconventional style - all hotel guests are anthropomorphic animals... which must be killed and cooked into dinner. Rusty Lake is most reminiscent of the work of Edward Gorey: it is a dark and brutal game with a masterful delivery of dark humor that will somehow make you smile.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadIsn't it great when the name of a game completely reflects everything that happens in it? Love You to Bits tells the story of a young astronaut who falls in love with a robot girl who is blown to pieces after a massive explosion. All her parts - head, legs and everything in between - turn out to be scattered throughout the entire galaxy, and you need to find them in order to reassemble the hero's beloved.
This is a futuristic reimagining of the story of Humpty Dumpty, flavored with bizarre puzzles, strange creatures, unusual planets and funny disco performed by robots.
Genre: Card game
DownloadWhen it comes to online card games, Hearthstone simply has no competitors. Blizzard's incredibly popular title combines competition with unbridled fun, offering endless possibilities for deck and strategy creation in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
You can collect a decent collection of cards without spending a single cent on the game. While many people primarily focus on Hearthstone's online multiplayer, those who prefer AI-based battles will appreciate the single-player adventures.
16.Device 6
Genre: Puzzle / Adventure
DownloadIt's quite difficult to explain what Device6 is. Yes, it's a puzzle, but there's no moving blocks or trying to escape the room. Each word challenge (Device6 is almost entirely text, making it feel like an interactive book) requires you to get creative or use your iPhone in an unusual way.
Turn your phone on its side to move to the next part of the puzzle, flip it over when the direction of the text changes, go through old puzzles for clues... it's one of those rare mobile games that simply can't be recreated on other devices.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadMany games take inspiration from comic books. But rather than repeating familiar superhero stories, Framed and its recent sequel Framed 2 use the concept of comic panels itself. You need to rearrange and unfold panels that tell a noir detective story so that the main character can sneak past security.
And if you fail, you are shown the consequences of your carelessness... so prepare for the fact that the poor detective from Framed 2 will constantly suffer because of your fault.
Genre: Adventure story
DownloadMost game developers boast about the ability to choose your own adventure, but it's rare to find a game that integrates all of those features into the story as elegantly as 80 Days. You control Passepartout, Monsieur Phileas Fogg's assistant, who must keep track of the expedition's expenses and find the fastest routes to travel.
Start conversations, join revolutionaries, or just wander around the city at night. Each choice (and how it affects the story) is up to you.
Genre: Augmented reality
DownloadNot every game managed to literally blow up the Internet, as Pokemon Go did. Mountains of tweets, stunning photos and a ton of incredible stories from the most adventurous collectors have turned the mobile game into a true cultural phenomenon.
The basic concept is quite simple: you just need to wander around the city (across the country or even around the world) with your phone in your hands and using augmented reality, which requires a lot of mobile traffic, find Pokemon hidden on the streets. And then catch them with pokeballs! An update for the game was recently released, and therefore this is an excellent reason to join the race for pocket monsters.
Genre: Adventure RPG
DownloadSevered is a rather strange game, the logic of which is not understood from the first seconds of playthrough. Here you explore a bizarre fantasy world from a first-person perspective, destroying various monsters along the way. During battles, you need to swipe your finger across the screen, imitating sword strikes and causing damage to monsters or blocking their attacks.
And here you can chop off the limbs of enemies, thereby pumping up your abilities. The progression system is made in the spirit of a metroidvania: we explore the world, return to familiar locations, pump up the skills necessary to move to new areas, solve puzzles and periodically tear opponents to pieces. Everything looks especially exciting thanks to the game's unique visual style.
Genre: Construction simulator
DownloadEspecially for you fans who have been dreaming of immersing yourself in the world of the Wasteland on the go, Bethesda has released a free Fallout Shelter in which you can get into the role of the Vault Overseer.
You need to keep the Shelter in working order: monitor the energy level and the amount of supplies, and also defend against attacks from monsters. Here is the distillation of all the best elements of the retro-futuristic universe, which fits perfectly on the iPhone screen.
Genre: Roguelike
DownloadCrypt of the Necrodancer can be described as a mixture of Dance Dance Revolution and any roguelike dungeon adventure - and it's such an eccentric combination that it pays off from the very first seconds of the game.
Choosing one of the fearless adventurers, you will be sent into a procedurally generated dungeon, destroying enemies and trying to get into the rhythm of the stylish tune. By the way, the ability to move in rhythm is the key to survival in the local branch of hell, filled with various skeletons, slugs and other pixel monsters.
Genre: Three in a row
DownloadYou might think that Threes! is another Candy Crush clone, created in a hurry in the wake of the popularity of the famous project. And while it's technically a match-3 game, it's a lot more creative than you might think. Here you need to match numbers by moving the corresponding tiles across the playing field.
And at first everything is quite simple: we combine 1 and 2 to get 3, we add 3 and 3 for 6, we add two sixes to get 12 and so on. But the fact is that the space on the playing field is limited, so the further you go, the more numbers will appear on the screen. You need to remain vigilant, because one mistake can lead to defeat even in a perfect game. Needless to say, how addictive Threes! turned out to be, with games lasting a few minutes at most?
Genre: Simulator
DownloadIf you're already tired of waiting for the release of Animal Crossing on Switch, then it's time to try out the mobile version of the game, made in a recognizable style and offering to meet your favorite Animal Crossing characters again. In addition, you don’t have to invest real money in the game, because the main gameplay consists of fishing, collecting insects, collecting fruits and even watering flowers.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadImagine that every painting by M.K. Escher (you've definitely seen them, these are the same paintings with endless stairs) is actually an interactive puzzle with moving parts and optical illusions. Actually, this is exactly what we see in Monument Valley 2.
It, like its predecessor, asks us to guide the mute protagonist (and sometimes his daughter) through each puzzle, moving different pieces and creating passages. A wonderful story, stunning graphics and a mesmerizing soundtrack, coupled with ingenious puzzles, make Monument Valley 2 one of the most memorable games on the iPhone.
Genre: Detective investigation
DownloadIf you've been listening to True Crime podcasts and want to see how your detective instincts have developed, you'll definitely want to check out Sam Barlow's devilishly clever story. You investigate a murder by combing through videotaped interviews in a police database and piecing together the wife's testimony.
The right keywords can help you find new interview snippets, meaning every sentence can contain an important clue. This is not a game you should play while standing in line at a coffee shop. This is a real detective story that will make you take notes in your notebook and won't let you sleep until you get to the bottom of the truth.
Genre: Card game
DownloadRule your kingdom. Get rid of the recalcitrant. Move from one monarch to another, forming alliances and starting wars. Make decisions on the go, trying to keep the church, army, townspeople and treasury under control.
The inventive sequel to Reigns is full of strategic elements and quite interesting in showing how difficult it is to be a woman on the throne. Reigns: Her Majesty improves on almost every element of the original. What? Don't you agree? Head off the shoulders!
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadMini Metro can be described in many different ways. First of all, this is a difficult puzzle. Secondly, an example of the successful use of minimalism in game design. Third, it's a damn good game. Use your creativity to build a functional transit system based on those used in real cities around the world.
Each new area presents new challenges, but each card somehow manages to keep you on the border between stress and meditative trance.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadSimple at first glance and incredibly beautiful, this indie puzzle will change your ideas about how puzzles on a touchscreen should work in general. Gorogoa consists of hand-drawn paintings in which you must interact with objects to advance the story.
Connect stairs, move doorways, change perspective and one of the most exciting puzzles will unfold in front of you recent years, complemented by gorgeous visuals and soundtrack.
Genre: Hidden Object Search
DownloadHidden Folks is a game for veterans of the genre that may initially seem like a black and white version of Where's Waldo? Objects on each level are hidden in a very clever way, so you will have to strain your eyes. For example, the monkey you're looking for might be hiding behind some leaves, or the person you're looking for might be dozing in the house.
Sound effects by game creator Adrian de Jongh create a unique, cozy atmosphere for this interactive adventure.
Genre: Puzzle
DownloadThere is only one way to get out of the room: solve the puzzle that lies right in front of you. However, simply pressing buttons and levers in the right order is not enough: you will have a complex and confusing journey through levels hidden inside the box, where you will have to solve mini-puzzles, connect objects and change perspective.
And the closer you get to the center, the more you learn about the mystery that cost one scientist his life. Still not getting goosebumps? And they should. The Room is just the first part of the series, and we bet you will start finishing all the games in one gulp.
