Square Enix's half-off Holiday iOS sale photo

Let me tell you of a horrible side effect of running these iOS sales stories on Destructoid. I always see something I "need" when I'm putting them together, and I always end up buying something. This job always finds more ways to eat at my wallet. 

Square Enix makes my favorite iOS games, and this week they've put just about everything they make on sale, with most of it coming in at about half price after discount. From now through January 4 you'll find that their best stuff will be marked down on the App Store. Chrono Trigger isn't on there, but just about everything else is.

There's a full list after the jump, but let me recommend a few to you. I really like the fast-paced strategy game Hills and Rivers Remain. It's like crack. Also, Chaos Rings and its sequel, Chaos Rings Omega, are solid, console-like RPGs that are hard to find fault with. There's lots of good stuff here.

Oh yay. $12 for iOS games. Good grasp of what your competition is there Squeenix. What's sad is I'd buy CT, FFT and FF3 if they were under say... $7.

Thank you. That was glorious.


As far as the sale, where's the Android love? I don't mean just the sale, I mean where are all those awesome Squenix games for Android!?

Looking at the comments here, it does seem true that people are getting spoiled of 99 cent price point and whenever a game that deserves its price (Space Invaders, Infinity Blade) people whine about its price.

I paid the $7 for infinity Blade II. It was worth it. A $10 price for a twenty year-old game with less than satisfactory controls that wasn't even made for the platform from the get go is not worth it to me.

Chaos Rings is damned incredible, certainly worth the sale price. A blast to the past retro RPG that hits all the right notes.
They upped the graphics for FFT, which makes it totally worth it in my book. 100 hours of what might be the best SRPG? I'll take it.
Got a Hills and Rivers Remain Lite just to see what it was. Square-Enix's prices are stupid high but you can't argue about the games. Now put FFVI on there and I'll be set for life.
Oh, and Disgaea. Isn't that coming to IOS sometime?
