You should be able to just tap the "re-download" button. For me, the IAPs are grayed out and I bought it years ago as well.
Yeah doesn't work.

Just tried on my pro 9.7 and the button worked. Bear in mind t that this was the first time booting the app on my new ipad. I t nJimmm I bought it around 2012 too.

Been a bit quiet as of late since I'm 40 hours into Witcher 3
Any suggestions for the December thread title?

Well, another week in mobile, another week of praying BoI gets released 
Just finished Severed over the weekend and it's absolutely a gem. Spent 6 hours on it and completed it 100%. If you're in the market for a deeper, metroidvania-like experience, this is it. That price is ridiculous btw.

tell me about it bro
Kind of surprised by the lack of sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday on iOS. There's been a handful of good games on sale and a whole lot of crappy games. But I thought we'd see more of the games that used to participate in these type of things.
For instance, I have Transistor on PS4 but wouldn't mind having it on iOS and know it's been on sale several times in the past but not lately and not for BF.
No biggie, but picked up a lot of console games (including digital) so thought this year was a little slow for higher profile titles on the iOS side comparatively speaking.

Great news! Wanted to buy this since someone recommended it to me here, and i started looking for reviews, articles and stuff and realized that this one is for me.
For some reason forgot about the game since i got and started playing Deus Ex GO and Infinity Blade III. But i am SO BUYING this now.
"Jingle Mario Bells"
"Merry Mario Run"
Fun fact, my friends uncle was the lead producer of the Witcher 3. Gave me a free copy. Also, said a whizz kid in the studio developed a majority of the game's economy in the final 2 weeks. Pretty "wild" haha!
Just ordered Dishonored 2 on a sale, first console game I've bought since Overwatch came out. Looking forward to it.
Hopefully getting news on Chair Entertainment's next game Spyjinx soon.
Also, should be getting an update for that masterpiece "Meltdown" by Phenomenon Games (you TAers should remember) since they got the rights back from Bulkypix

Huh, I wasn't expecting Crashlands to make it on
Binding of Isaac iOS coming "very soon", in the final phase of testing but not likely to release this week:

Got a super cool tactical match-3 roguelike for you guys:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/swap-sword/id1069162618
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fio4fsONZkA
Swap Sword, $2.99
On one hand, it fits the usual swap tiles to match matches three or more to clear them from the board. On the other, you have a little samurai that you can move freely around the board and have to evade and fight various enemies, and are able to choose from special ability upgrades as you progress.

And is from the people behind the utterly fantastic Sunburn (that game was too good). Damn I am hyped now, buying!
Stole this from TA, but looks pretty impressive. Post Brutal, a zombie action RPG that's been in the works for over 2 years. Comes out Friday.

Swap Sword is great, difficult but great. And I am the only player on the leaderboards...

How's Neon Chrome?
Excellent IMO. I know MB said it wasn't as good as the PC version but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
Biggest issue is heat and battery drain. But I'm beta testing newer versions that have a battery saver mode and 30 FPS lock. The battery saver really takes a hit on the FPS and stutters. So I've found the 30 FPS lock to be good at both reducing (but not fully eliminating) heat and battery issues. It's a good compromise and honestly don't see a difference with the 60 vs 30 FPS in this particular game.

They talk about it being an RPG with continuous progression? Can you explain what they mean? I've never played the PC version (didn't know there was one!).

It's a roguelite dual-stick shooter with unlocks that add to your overall item/weapon pool and has persistent upgrades for stats like health
Not really an RPG at all
Hey guys, I just got an iPhone 7+ recently and wanted to try a premium-style game since I usually only play F2P stuff.
If I was only going to buy one right now: Final Fantasy Tactics or Severed? They're both on sale for the same price $3.99. I liked FFTA back in the day a lot but I'm slightly concerned about how it would control on a phone. I don't know how severed plays at all I've just heard its great. Other options I was considering are Device 6 and Solitairica, as they're the same price as the above. Whatever I buy will be my first foray into a paid mobile game so I'd like something great.
Thanks!

Definitely Device 6

If you're into puzzle games, Device 6 is a must-play. But even if you're not, it's one of the best games ever to grace mobile.
As for FFT or Severed, I'd say Severed, mainly because it feels perfectly at home on touch and has such a really unique atmosphere.

Last call for December title suggestions

It looks boring to me too.
But i said "it looks", didn't got a chance to try it myself.
If you replay Sorcery part 1, does it delete the could save for part 2? Did pretty well! Made friends with Vic and the Assasin, some nice magic artifacts, a sword bracelet and a decent amount of gold for pillaging the orc mines. Curious about the other routes though!
Was awesome, some dice rolling and minor stat distribution at the beginning would've aced it but so fun!
I'm getting the bundle now for sure.
Or maybe "Nintendo will never make a mobile game" or something along the lines.

Pretty boring one but "it's a me, Mario!" Is a default one.

Actually, it's not out yet. A November release had seemed possible, but might have jumped the gun a tad with the title

From what the blog said, the Afterbirth+ release date will be announced next week so I can see the iOS release date being announced at the same time.
I'm still betting on it releasing right before the shutdown so they can be featured longer. But I would give them major props if they are brave enough to release on the 15th.
Yes I know that, but I got it on Steam and it felt clunky to me.
Maybe you just need a little break. About the same time you posted you were going to finish FF IV, I had just decided to play though the first FF, instead of browsing the store for one more game I'd never finish. I'm at 15 hours now which is hard to believe. Do something else for a bit and come back to it.

This is amazing
I wasn't wowed at first, but oh man have I played the ever loving fuckton out of that game. If you played the original, (from what I understand) the expansions made it much smoother. It's buttery smooth on the PS4.
They nailed the difficulty, imo. It's hard enough to be a challenge, but you start incrementally getting better, and every now and then you get just the right items to make you virtually unstoppable, and it's awesome. Tons to unlock, and the different characters make it more interesting and give the game a little more longevity.
Both my wife (it's a struggle to find a game she'll play) and myself have put hours and hours into the game.
Oh, and having played it so much I forget all about the theme. =) So when I first introduce it to people sometimes they get all hung up on the weirdness of the whole thing (blood, poop, demons, etc.), but you've played the original, so that shouldn't be a problem.
In short, I recommend it.
