What are some of the best paid mobile games? Like you pay outright not for upgrades or monthly or whatever.

Some might not be for sale anymore, but here are some of my favorites:

Risk: Global Domination
Yoot Tower
Clear Vision 1
Clear Vision 2
DuckTales Remastered
Full Throttle Remastered
RC Plane 2
Alto's Adventure
Alto's Odyssey

Probably some more than I am not thinking of.


Side notes about some of the games:

Clear Vision 1 and 2 were paid apps, while 3 and 4 were free to play. While 3 and 4 looked better when it came to graphics, 1 and 2 was a lot better to play in my opinion. The free to play model was designed to invest in large amounts of IAP to win. It is possible to beat 3 without making any purchases, I am unsure if 4 can be. Or maybe 4 didn't have a proper ending.

Risk: Global Domination is like the classic RISK game, but a lot of maps and cool customizations. There is multi-player, but I was never interested in that. I played this game more than any other game on iOS, iPad OS, and tvOS, but only played it on tvOS. Support for the tvOS version of the game was dropped, just like a bunch of other tvOS games, so I stopped playing. I purchased every map available on this game, probably invested $50 in it.

Alto's Odyssey, or an updated version of it, is on the Apple Arcade.

Yoot Tower is a sequel to Sim Tower from the 90's.

You probably want to go to the sister site Touch Arcade. They have lots of game suggestions. It would help if you had a genre you were more interested in.

Clap Hanz Golf is great, unfortunately only available on Apple Arcade, but it’s by the same team who made Everbody‘s Golf / Hot Shot Golf so has pedigree to be great fun. A bit addicted to it on my new iPad Pro.
