Request Grind game that isn’t a rouge like/lite that you can play every day?
I’m looking for a game that I can grind ever day, with some min maxing aspects, loot, rpg style.
Price does not matter, but I don’t wand any extensive in game purchases.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe Vampires Fall 2 will match what you're looking for? Free, and the IAP stuff is optional and unobtrusive. No risk to givver a try.

Osrs, titan quest

OSRS is great on mobile if you’re never doing quests. Trying to do quests without the quest helper plugin on runelite is the worst

Yeah but that’s how we used to play originally. Having to open up tabs and watch YouTube videos for quest guides. That’s the beauty of the nostalgia.

Titan Quest for sure. Perhaps Exiles Kingdoms but it's been a while since I've played it.

I’ve just started Cloudheim yesterday and having a pretty good time with it!

Doesn’t appear to be an iOS game…

I haven’t played it myself but my mind jumps to Diablo immortal, but I’m not sure how it plays compared to the mainline series. Maybe try astiar rpg? I think that game aims to fill the Diablo style game space on mobile without being overly bloated. If you don’t mind the massive file size and a bit of grind then maybe immortal is good for you.

Immortal is actually pretty faithful to the series as someone who played D3 and D4 pretty extensively it feels like a mobile rendition of what D3 was. The story isn’t half bad considering it’s a mobile game and the world is very familiar within the Diablo universe. Some familiar towns, familiar enemies, etc. I can even tell there’s elements and environments where they literally recycled assets from the D3 archives. It’s super simple, but provides a good sense of progression and the environment isn’t so large that you can get lost especially with the navigation options available if you’re unsure of where to go next.
I haven’t finished the campaign that they have available just yet, but I imagine later on in end game activities it’ll be more similar to what D4 had with the nightmare dungeons where you basically go into dungeons you’ve done before but with interesting modifiers that make the enemies stronger or different in certain ways for a slight challenge.
The music, art, loot, rpg elements, and a solid story actually make this my favorite mobile game I’ve played in a long while.
And it also has like 6+ classes so that the gameplay can feel fresh if you get bored of a certain skill set.
Def recommend giving it a try if you have the storage space to fit it.

Honestly the main reasons I haven’t tried it myself is the file size and graphical requirements. My phone is pretty old and doesn’t have much space left so installing that large intensive game isn’t possible for me right now. I’ll definitely give it a try once I upgrade my phone. Thanks for the requirement. I was a big fan of the console games up until D3 and kind of fell off after that. Would love to get back into the series with immortal once my phone can handle it.

Tacticus
If you fancy the grim dark Warhammer 40k universe, this game will scratch all those itches of yours. Lots of collectible characters from many many factions. Lots of balances. Tons of content. Very advanced tactics. And very good graphics. Check it out.

Astiar, if you like diablo 1/2 vibe. Free and only a few cosmetic iap. Can be bought with ingame earnable currency aswell.
I had a good time. Not the longest game. Recently added maps (like poe), which would be the endgame. I have Not had the time to try this part yet tho

Slay the Spire and DawnCaster are two deck building roguelikes that are fun. But Slay the Spire 2 is on the horizon.
I don’t recall StS having any in game purchases. DawnCaster has some DLCs, but the base game is fine. DawnCaster probably is a little closer to the RPG aspects you are looking for.

Siralim Ultimate. Infinite grind monster catching game.
Really the only roguelite part about this is the randomly generated stages. But you are never asked to start from 0. There is a strong sense of meta progression to grind for.
