Iphone games

[Kaisha]

Nabbed it, thanks.


EA seems to be monopolizing my AppStore purchases atm, I keep finding more shit on their catalog on sale that I wouldn't mind trying, and I can't say no for a buck, especially when it's a joke to play some of these during downtime in FFXI. A lot of the recent purchases I got from them were absolute quality also, still enjoying Mirror's Edge, and NBA Jam is a fucking blast. Their devs actually bother optimizing shit, probably runs silky smooth on modern iOS devices.

Nabbed me four more titles tonight while this sale still on -

- NFS Hot Pursuit (probably the smoothest running racer on my Touch, quick loads too)
- NFS Shift
- Sims3 Ambition (seemed to have more content/features than the core game so I just grabbed this one)
- Skate It

Skate It looks kinda iffy from what I looked up as far as controls go, but I'm lacking a portable skate boarding game, and it's a buck cheaper than THPS2, which I'll probably get some day if that ever has a sale also. Would kill for a THPS3 port though, wasted way too hours on that back in the day.

Did anyone ever get FF3 iPad? I actually have never played that one, and while I have a DS, i'm just more tempted to get it on iPad, even at that ridiculous 15.99$ price.

[Maguspk]

Downloaded it for free, it is extremely imbalanced and feels almost broken like they didn't bother with testing.

[Atreides]

couple of free apps:

Robot Wants Kitty, from Raptisoft (League of Evil). Kinda a time challenge platformer with Metroidvania aspects, really a lot of fun:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/robot...423108053?mt=8

Time Geeks: Find All! and Find All! HD, a hidden object type game with nice pixel art:
regular: http://itunes.apple.com/app/time-gee...391469201?mt=8
HD ver: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/time-...396278715?mt=8

Braveheart HD (ipad only), a twin-stick shooter type fantasy game where you spin around like crazy and kill waves of enemies, with a comic book story and upgrades:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/bravehea...399296164?mt=8

Crazy Formula (universal), a puzzle game sort of like Master of Alchemy (which is also neat):
http://itunes.apple.com/app/crazy-fo...421810252?mt=8

some of those have been free for a few days now, so be quick about it if you plan to get them. They're all pretty fun.

[Atreides]

Ozone and Ozone HD are currently free. Not really sure about the gameplay but both are really highly rated and really pretty, they're supposed to be good:
Ozone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ozone/id365742550?mt=8
Ozone HD: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ozone...370820246?mt=8

also Sam & Max: The Penal Zone Episode 1 for iPad is currently 99 cents, normally it's like 7 bucks I think:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sam-m...364177936?mt=8

This week's Famitsu also has some news from S-E regarding iPhone developement. Looks like a Chaos Rings prequel is in the works titled Chaos Rings Omega, as well as a sequel tentatively called Chaos Rings 2. They also have some sort of interactive comic coming out, if anyone remember that anime-looking teaser site they had a few weeks back that's what it is but I forget the name.

Chaos Rings Omega trailer:


edit: oh it's called Imaginary Range, it'll be coming for Iphone and Android and it'll be free:

[Atreides]

100 Rogues is currently free, supposedly a great roguelike (universal app)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/100-r...354011870?mt=8

Also Settlers HD is on sale (only the ipad version, regular version still regular price) for 99 cents
Settlers HD: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-s...371112669?mt=8

Edit: oh, apparently Settlers HD has actually been on sale for a while now... Oh well, it's a pretty good RTS for ipad

edit: also free today is Doodle Fit (universal), one of my favorite puzzle games for ios
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/doodl...392912231?mt=8

So tonight SE's Imaginary Range will be avaliable, its Free to play so check it out regardless. It's basically a comic book game with some mini games added, i wonder how well it will be done though I think its safe to say its probable a experimental game.

Also I've Heard nothing but good things about Order & Chaos by gameloft (Well excluding no 3G access on non-jailbroken devices.)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/order...14664715?mt=8#

[Atreides]

not going to link them all, but all of the regular and HD versions of Big Fish's hidden object/adventure games are on sale for 99 cents (usual price is 5-7 bucks).

I picked up Drawn: The Painted Tower myself because I hear it's awesome, and Puppetshow because it's about some creepy puppets. I'll probably pick up 1 or 2
more, since Big Fish makes some of the best hidden object games on ios, maybe Nick Chase: A Detective Story or Empress of the Deep or Haunted Manor.

so I just sprang 3 bucks for Battleheart (thanks to Brimah for the recommendation) and HOLY FUCKING SHIT this is great. This game is a shitload of fun and the fact that you can grind for exp/items is really exactly what I was looking for. I wish there was more of a story but the battles are a lot of fun, it's fun to give everyone in your party a role and deal with the various bosses and waves of enemies.

Honestly this is pretty much my ideal action RPG mobile game, although it does get a little annoying to issue orders when everyone bunches together, but this is definitely worth the money.

Here's a video in case anyone cares/is interested:

[Brimah]

Yup, it was a lot of fun while it lasted. Hope they update it, but shall see! The gameplay video suites well to exactly what the battle system is like. Hectic at times which can lead to miss-swipes, but adds to the planning and keeping mage units out of the way. There are quite a few classes (Knight, Barbarian, Witch, Wizard, Priest, Monk, Thief, Bard, Pirate (same as Barb It think, just different skin)), each having a skill tree and own equipment makes for decent amount of customization. Atreides, what party did you go with? I went with a kind of a basic one (I think) of Knight, Monk, Wizard and Priest.

[Atreides]

I am currently doing Knight, Wizard, Priest and Barbarian (barbarian is the same as pirate). Bard supposedly isn't that great of a main healer until you start getting some of the better accessories and abilities, and I wanted to go with Barbarian over Monk even though Monk is a lot better of a backup tank. I am actually stuck on the Slime boss currently, keeps killing off my party with poison and I need to either grind more or something

Eternal Legacy (Final Fantasy XIII clone) seems to be well worth it for a dollar, I might bite on Splinter Cell too but eh, I have wayyyyy too many games on my backlog.

edit: supposedly Infinity Blade is getting a multiplayer update? Wtf?

edit edit: Warpgate and Warpgate HD are both currently free too, they're really good looking games although I don't know how good they are compared to things like Galaxy on Fire

Eternal Legacy is fun, but I wish you could have a guide for the jobs

Exemple I have that girl (Lysy??) and she has the spell cure, if I change her to berserker she still has the spell cure So do guys learns spells for all jobso n lv up or do they need to be in that job to learn spells when they lv up

[Oxyminus]

I just bought battleheart...5 minutes into it and I love this game. Thanks for passing it along! Perfect rpg for the iphone

[Kaisha]

Warpgate free today - http://itunes.apple.com/app/warpgate/id361290729?mt=8
HD version also for iPad users - http://itunes.apple.com/app/warpgate...318424675?mt=8


Got decent reviews, not played it myself yet though. I'm going to have to start deleting freebie HD versions I've downloaded for future purposes though, waste of HD space. Just hope iTunes doesn't try to redownload them automatically next time I boot it up.

[Oxyminus]

For the slime boss I went knight, priest, and 2x wizard. I gave my knight the def bonus trait, gave the priest the +50% heal ability, and both of my wizards the stop ability. Had the knight tank, spread out the mages, and whenever the slime splits, use one stop, beat them down, then use another stop, and use both meteor showers before they rejoin.

Took me a while to realize the spots after the slime spits are poisonous....one of the most aggrivating fights in a game, in a LONG time. But also the most fun, no question. Once I beat it, I tried it a few times to grind out a new staff for my wizards.

I'm still torn on my party. Doing that fight has me liking 2x wizard, they can kite and do sick damage with the right gear. Rogue does nice damage in spurts with their ability, and Barbarian does crazy damage, but is a lousy back-up tank.

Oh hells yes, Aralon: Sword and Shadow HD (universal app) is currently on sale for $4.99, normal price is $9.99. I've been waiting on this game to drop for a while now, it's supposed to be a really excellent elder scrollsish open world RPG.

This guy beat me to it, but grab this while you can for 5$, its a really well done western rpg. Even if you're not into wrpgs for the most part this game will still drawn you in.

[Kaisha]

Picked it up to chance it running on my 1g Touch. To my surprise, this is the first iOS game I've played that lets you configure basic graphical options. Game playing a shaky 10fps at medium details, which is good enough for me given how low-rez it looks as-is.

Also just figured out how to take snapshots the other day, thought it was only an iOS 4+ feature, apparently not. ;/
