Im working as iOS dev, and also wanted to create some games in my spare time, so I choose SpriteKit, its pretty good framework, you can easily make nice 2D games. If you want to create top down game I recommend to take a look for this https://github.com/mfessenden/SKTiled its very helpful when you want create your levels, much better than Xcode one, and also check this https://github.com/cocoatoucher/Glide its created mostly for platformers but you can use it also for top down RPG for example. If you have basic knowledge of swift you will create games very fast and easy, and you will only optimize it for iOS so it will be easier to handle errors etc.
