Games Compatible With Ios 9.3.5 Ipad -

Here’s a curated write-up on finding and playing games compatible with an iPad running iOS 9.3.5 (the final supported version for the iPad 2, iPad 3, and original iPad Mini).

5. XCOM: Enemy Within

This is arguably the most "hardcore" game on the list. Firaxis ported the full PC strategy game to iPad. You command a squad of soldiers fighting an alien invasion. The iOS 9.3.5 version contains the "Slingshot" and "Elite Soldier" DLC. A single campaign takes 30+ hours. The touch interface is actually better than the mouse and keyboard. games compatible with ios 9.3.5 ipad

Simulation & Building

  • Minecraft – Pocket Edition (v1.16.50 or earlier) – No Netherite or new caves, but full survival/creative works.
  • Terraria (v1.2.4) – "Journey's End" not supported, but hundreds of hours of content.
  • RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic – The original PC game ported perfectly.
  • Game Dev Tycoon – Works offline, no issues.

Puzzle & Strategy

  • Monument Valley 1 & 2 – Escher-like puzzles. Iconic for this iOS era.
  • The Room (1, 2, & 3) – Touch-based puzzle boxes. Masterpieces.
  • Hitman GO & Lara Croft GO – Turn-based puzzle games on diorama boards.
  • Plague Inc. – Pandemic simulator. Still fully functional.
  • Plants vs. Zombies (Original) – Not the freemium sequel. Classic.

Racing & Arcade (High Speed Thrills)

Feel the speed without the lag.

  • Asphalt 8: Airborne – The last compatible version still has tons of tracks and cars. Note that online features are likely dead, but career mode works.
  • Real Racing 3 – A graphical powerhouse that surprisingly runs on iOS 9.3.5. Real cars, real tracks, long load times—but worth it.
  • Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing – A Mario Kart clone featuring Sonic, Beat, and AiAi. Pure fun.
  • Horizon Chase - World Tour – Retro arcade racing with a killer soundtrack. Very lightweight.
  • Hill Climb Racing – Simple, addictive physics racing. Works on literally everything.

10. The Bard’s Tale

This is a full, voiced-action RPG. It is hilarious (written by the creator of Brutal Legend). You play a sarcastic rogue who summons creatures to fight for him. The iOS 9.3.5 version includes the classic The Bard’s Tale Trilogy (1985) as an unlockable bonus inside the main game. Two games for the price of one.
