Not really an rpg; Hunters 2 is the precursor to Warhammer Quest by Rodeo Games.

Tactics RPG people, the guys that made Kingturn just released Tactics Maiden, and it's good! It's Kingturn mechanics but the game is way more polished. It's $4.99 but you can play the first 5 or so missions for free.

Yes, Battle Cats again! Brilliant. Gross Cat is still about, there'd better be Whale Cat again, he was the best.

And oh poo poo, there's a capsule machine thingy in Battle Cats 2. The usual free machine, money machine sort of set up by the looks of things. Seems a bit more "give me your money" than the original was. Hopefully it'll still give out Cat Food every so often.

fake edit: oh, event stages as well. Wonder how those will work

Has anyone with a 6+ ran into any games that just wont work with it. I have a few:

David loads to a black screen then crashes back to home screen
KOTOR has a tiny square in the corner of the screen that none of the touches line up with the menus so it is unplayable.
Traps n' Gemstones looks fine, but my touches dont line up with controls, I can make the left and right work by pressing under the button but up and down do not work

These are the only ones I have found so far but Im guessing there will be more. If someone does have a + and any of these games and you test them out just to see if it is only a local problem with my device? Thanks

No, I'm not complaining. The games that do work feel so comfortable that I am happy trading off, just wondering if it's my phone, an ios8 thing, or just a matter of waiting for an update. At this point they would need to pry my + from my cold dead fingers

I have a regular 6 and I've had a bunch of crashing issues (game starts up, crashes a few seconds after starting) with games I have been trying to play, but this is my first smartphone so I don't know if I am just stupid with it. I also had a menu alignment problem in one game but I can't remember what one

Any thoughts on the final fantasy app pack? Worth it?

I found all the Final Fantasy iOS versions to be much, much more enjoyable on the iPhone over the iPad - it seems like they were really designed with a smaller screen in mind (especially the DS ports) and look stunning on the phone but not on the tablet.

Also the only really good games are III-VI so you could pick them up anyway for ~$60 (or half that at Christmas). I'm also bugged they didn't include tactics. There's really no variable cost in the app business so what's the point of being stingy? I don't get it.

But if you plan to play The After Years there is a bundle with that and FFIV for ~$22 that will tide you over til the winter sale starts.

I already had all the FF games in the bundle except for The After Years, so it came to $2 for me. Not bad!

The weird thing about these app bundles though, is that to complete the bundle, it relies on how much you original paid for the ones you own. If you got some for free, it doesn't factor into the "complete the bundle" price.

Even more annoyingly, if you complete a bundle for "free" (if you don't own a couple games in the bundle, but paid more than the bundle for the other games included), it counts all the games in the bundle as being repurchased to your account. What happens then is it recalculates the value of these games in relation to other bundles. Essentially, I was going to complete a Crescent Moon Games bundle for like, $2, but I saw that one of their other bundles was "free" so I picked that up. When I went back to buy the $2 bundle, it raised in price to $5.50.

Turbo Dismount comes out tonight. It's the sequel to the fantastic Stair Dismount (probably the only 3rd party app that's constantly been on my iPhone since the 3GS days).

This is the end-all-be-all of goofy physics games and the $6 full unlock is probably the best value in iOS gaming. It's free to try. Not trying to oversell it, but it's honestly my most anticipated game of 2014 and so far it's exceeded my expectations.

Yeah, it was supposed to be "old time carnival look" and I don't think that worked.

If we rebooted it, we'd go with a flattened style. We're doing a reboot of a 2009 game that recently got totally cloned, but cloned badly (a clone of a clone) and went with a flattened look.

There is honestly not much there that interests me at all. Might try out Smarter Than You because it's free and the trailer indicated that there might be more to it but other than that it all looks pretty generic.

Sorry, guy.
So I was/am super excited about Smarter Than You. However, upon playing it, I see that it is what it advertised itself to be, but either it is JUST that, or I am missing something.

The talking/communication part is not really part of the game at all. It's just chatter. Really all it comes down to is guessing and hoping when you take your turn. Right?

Someone does Rock, I do Scissors. Or Paper. Or Rock... and hope for the best...

That's all there is to it, yes?

It definitely takes some learning before you get good. There are a couple of obvious traps people fall into that you can exploit, like If two numbers are the same, they'll never choose the unique one because its too obvious.

Also, if you start your name with SA you'll unlock a special manbaby flair (might need a restart)
