Recommend Mac RPG Game

Fxguy · Jul 22, 2010

Hello Everyone, new to the forum and new to mac gamming but a long time mac user (Since the Apple IIe baby!)

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone can recommend some Mac games similar to ones I currently enjoy playing.

Currently I enjoy playing

On Facebook:
Farmville
Verdonia
Kingdoms of Camelot

On iPhone:
Castle Craft
We rule
Farmville

Basically I am like these style RPGs where there is not a lot of battle but more focus on building towns / civilizations and resource management sort of things. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

There's a whole MacRumors forum dedicated to games. You might try searching there for recommendations.

I've been searching a getting together a list of top recommended RPG games, what I am looking for though is games similar to the ones I listed, which I am not finding.

You may get better results by posting game-related threads in the game forum, where other gamers are more likely to be watching.

Torchlight for Mac (Steam) has been getting good vibes. However the best RPGs I'm familiar with are on Windows or Console. Oblivion gets high marks for an open world RPG and it's available on Windows and XBox. Don't know about PS3 for that game.

Not sure I would call the listed games for RPG - but then again I dont think there is a set definition for those.

For iPad/iPhone you should take a look at God Finger. Pretty nifty. I also got CastleCraft, We Rule etc, and God Finger takes things into a little more "here and now" gaming.

Maybe Anno 1404. It's not RPG, it's strategy.

You have to use Bootcamp, it's Windows only.

As everyone else is saying, your list and request doesn't really ask for RPG, but more 'strategy / city builder'.

I second Anno 1404 and the Venice expansion.

Also, the recently released Majesty 2 and Kingmaker expansion are quite good.

Of course, those are PC-only. You might also check out Civilization IV, which is on Steam now for Mac. It is more strategy than 'city builder', but you might like it.

I skipped over this part on my first response. You are not into RPG, but RTS (Real Time Strategy) or TBS (Turn Based Strategy) like Civilization which does have fighting, lots of fighting in addition to resource management, or a pure city building game like Sim City.

You mean RTS's/TBS's. Lets see, if you like lots of resource management...

Rise of Nations Gold

and kind of off beat but still great for what you're probably looking for

SimCity 4.

Civ IV can be beaten without fighting any of the other civilizations (just the barbarians who attack you). It's a huge pain, but I've done it several times.

I agree it is possible.

The two "must-haves" on the Mac right now are:
Dragon Age: Origins (traditional RPG)
Torchlight (dungeon crawler)

Edit: oh, you mean RTS/TBS
Uhhhh Civ IV is the only one I can think of at the moment.
