Hello again fellow dopers. I’m interested in any recommendations you all might have for detailed iOS simulation games. The type doesn’t matter, farming, city building, medical, military, factory, airline, or any other kind you can think of. The more highly detailed the better. Thank you for any recommendations you may have :). ---

That’s pretty broad. To state the obvious Civilization Revolution is pretty decent. Starbase Orion is a nice 4x game inspired by Masters of Orion with a deep tech tree and ability to build custom spaceships. I enjoyed it a lot. [http://www.chimerasw.com/starbaseorion/](http://www.chimerasw.com/starbaseorion/) The same company has a naval military game, haven’t tried that one. Kairosoft makes loads of simulation games that are quite detailed, from Game Dev Story to simulations of running a sushi bar. The recently released Epic Astro Story is getting good reviews but I haven’t played it. Galazy on Fire 2 also gets very good reviews. ---

You’re not getting much luck here, you’d be better off posting in an iOS specific gaming forum, eg: [http://forums.toucharcade.com/](http://forums.toucharcade.com/) ---

Bethesda’s **Fallout Shelter** isn’t a _realistic_ simulator, given that it is set in a fantasy future world, but it has the features of the genre: resource attainment and management; unit task assignments; build-orders; etc.
