Adventure is one of the most engaging game genres on iOS in particular and mobile platforms in general. The common motif often revolves around building a story or setting for players to explore. Unlike the fast-paced action genre that requires individual skills, adventure games focus on exploring the world and deep storyline.
This genre is often divided into two major branches: pure adventure and action adventure.
Action adventure games are a mix of exploration elements and dramatic combat scenes. Typical examples include Life After, Poppy Playtime, or Magic Rampage.
Action-adventure games are divided into three subgenres:
- Survival
- Survival Horror
- Metroidvania
On the other hand, pure adventure games focus more on story and interaction, including subgenres such as:
- Text Adventures
- Visual Novels
- Interactive Movie
- Real-time 3D Adventures
Currently, action-adventure games are more popular than pure adventure games, but each subgenre has its own appeal. If you are an adventure lover, explore the list below and start your new journey on iOS!
