There's a new Battleheart clone out, Sci-Fi Heroes. It's not great, has some slow down and rather long load times on a 4, but... whatever, more Battleheart-like gameplay and I'm totally okay with that. It's also free and loaded with iap. Battleheart 2 can't come soon enough.

I don't usually play these Facebook login games. I used the login as guest, is it not going to save my progress since I didn't login with Facebook?

It doesn't really have a good progression arc I found. I got to the third planet, of four, and you go from being invincible to unable to progress like a brick wall.

I used battle heart kiting tactics to beat most of the mission, but the ranged guy spawned and it was all over.

Also, upgrading items works differently than in battle heart which was surprising at first. This game made me want to buy battle heart on iOS so I could play it on my iPad, but I just took my android phone out instead.

Did the devs actually announce they were working on battle heart 2?

There are so many time/resource farming management games. Mant of which are massively popular with high reviews. I just wish there was one clear cut winner. Happy Street has a great art style, but Clash of Clans has a cool PvP component. The Simpsons Tapped Out looks like a lot of fun though.

I downloaded Gears a long time ago when it was free, and only just started playing it a couple days ago. It's a great game. The touch controls are very satisfying, and the game looks great. The challenge curve is just right.

The problem with the PvP for Clash of the Clans is that without spending money on the game, you will almost never be hurting for resources (At least I'm not so far, I have 2x each producer, 2 of each at level 8, and one upgrading to 10, and the other to 9 right now ) but rather for builders. Unless you pony up gems to buy another builder or two, doing the PvP is just filling my coffers that aren't emptying at this point anyway.

I have been putting way too much time into injustice gods amount us. I have grinded out almost 65k credit, after spending too much on unlocking and leveling up supers.

Going to buy a gold pack at 75k, and see how far that can take me. How many cards do you get from a gold pack?

I can't see this game lasting too far beyond the console release. The in-app purchases are ungodly expensive. I can't believe how much characters cost in comparison to gold packs and poo poo too. The amount you earn from battles just isn't going to cut it.

It seems to be better than the math on that my little pony game, but not by much. I'm getting about 1200 from each clear of the battle just before the green lantern. :(

You get a character and two "other" cards from the gold pack. I think you're more likely to get the super expensive support cards from gold but I'm not sure. A gold character is better than any bronze you might have almost right out of the pack so hope you get a good one like Wonder Woman and not a crappy one like Joker or Batman Beyond.

And yes everything costs way, way too much.

I ended up just saying screw it to myself and burning the energy cards that randomly were awarded for beating battles. Opened the pack and got Bane. He handles like a bigger Lex (Which I started with). Not horrible. He's no Flash, but he gets the job done.

It appears that I'm finally at a point in the battles (Almost to the Sinestro boss) where you start to get a more substantial amount for winning. The one bitch of it though is Bane was too weak to take out the silver characters solo at level 1, so I had to go back to my favorite pre-Green Lantern grinding spot to grind out some Exp for him.

For support I ended up with Shazam and Sinestro Corps... both cards are completely useless to me. :(

Pulling back a few pages here, but I don't think anyone mentioned, the goon clan is "Crusader Kings"

If you just started, we'd probably have to lower the trophy req to whatever you have, so you can join.

The only rule is that you donate troops when people request.

Nobody really cares if you donate level 1 troops or level 6 troops. Higher is appreciated of course, but just having troops is better than nothing.

Doomsday (Gold) lv. 21

What should I do next? The way I see it I can:

1.) Spend credits upgrading my super moves
2.) Keep saving credits to buy the discounted gold packs, then increase the elite ranking of my existing characters
3.) Keep saving credits to buy the discounted gold packs, then get more gold characters like Batman and Womder Woman

2009, 2010, and maybe 2011 are loving great and not heavy on IAP, but 2012 and BS2 are fulla that poo poo. Unlike the rest of the app store's new IAP trend, those games were made for the Asian markets where they eat that poo poo up and beg for more ways to throw money at video games. You can play them without spending extra money but you're gonna have a bad time because everything will be working against you as they're designed to make you consume paid items very frequently. It's a weird gaming culture they have and these hella grindy Asian games really do not translate well to Western markets.

I didn't even see 2011 when they all went on sale. I started playing 2013 and noticed the heavy amount of IAP, but stuck with it due to everyone hailing it. I'll try out 2010 instead and see if it is a bit more fun. Thanks!

I picked up Warhammer Quest and as someone who has already stated they loved the bastardized board game version Hero Quest that was released in the states. It is a decent port of the game. Some little things didn't translate, like having melee weapons that can attack multiple spaces away, or I haven't found any yet, but overall it's pretty great.

It can be unforgiving as gently caress sometimes, but still fun.

I'm curious though, I saw that the profile shows new skills up to level 6, there have to be more levels though. There is no way I could already have grinder out level 2 before the first story quest and be 1/6 of the way to max level.

So far I'm really enjoying Warhammer Quest. The rotate-for-inventory is nonsense though, and I only found it accidentally. If you're going to hide away a key feature of the game, at least show tutorial popups or something the first time you find an item. The amount of IAP is a bit distasteful, but hey, Games Workshop :shrug:

I also picked up Merchant to the Stars. It's really compulsive. I loaded it up and an hour just disappeared.

It is in the tutorial.

Since you keep saying this - Hero Quest was the result of a license with MB games (it was made by one of MB's designers) and wasn't just released in the states. 6 years later when the contract with MB ran out (and also post-Advanced Hero Quest) GW did their own remake of it as Warhammer Quest. So HQ isn't really a bastardized version, it's the grandaddy of WQ.

After buying WarHammer I have to agree with it not being worth it content wise even though I like the base combat.



You get 7 hub towns which are the exact same (just a bog standard list of shop/training/church) and 9 main quest. You also get 3 types of random quests that just have you getting a random piece of loot, rescuing a random nobody, or killing some monsters but ultimately they still just amount to you getting to the end of the dungeon ripped from one of the main missions and killing a bunch of monsters in a room. After casually playing all day I'm on main quest 6 of 9 so I can probably be finished by the end of the day if I wanted to be. It's crazy how little missions there are in the main game when they are charging an additional $5 for a day one expansion and $3 for an extra hero when they don't even give you an extra one beyond the party limit to change things up a bit.



It's kind of a shame because I can easily see how good it could be if they just made all the missions random and made the point of the game to see how far you could take an adventure's company before you got it wiped out.

I had the exact same impression. I'm at the point where I'm not really fearing too much, but if I go to the last area I still have some heroes get downed. I pick them back up, but it happends. I'm hoping the permadeath difficulty can make the game more long lasting. Really that is what it needs is more content. It claims 25 hours with all dlc, but that must be including simply grinding every character to max level which is completely unnecessary.

So for those of you that didn't want to get into warhammer quest because of the portrait thing.

If you're wondering, getting more than 32k experience just makes it say you can level up. Nothing happens in town. I was kind of hoping there would be more than six levels to gain.
