The phrase refers to a category of role-playing games available on Apple’s mobile operating system that feature strategic, sequential combat. These games allow players to control characters, develop their abilities, and engage in battles where actions are performed in alternating turns. A prime example is a title where users manage a party of heroes, each with unique skills, to overcome challenging encounters through careful planning and tactical execution.
The popularity of these games stems from their suitability for mobile devices. The turn-based format accommodates shorter play sessions and interruptions, making them ideal for commutes or brief leisure periods. Historically, this genre found success on consoles and PCs, and its adaptation to mobile platforms has broadened its audience, allowing for accessibility and convenience previously unavailable.
