Allan Assiduity posted:Stratergy seems pretty good, in the similar vein of Risk-clone (with slightly more customisability/less polished rules). I got it from the first post, and the community for it doesn't seem too big - but it's an interesting game. Bottom Liner posted:Summoner Wars is also great. Solforge looks promising too, barring some balance adjustments after the beta release.

Wait, so for the Ascension promo pack cards, do all players need to get them to use them like the 2 expansions? I need this information for my friends because I already bought the pack on impulse anyway. Also, is the Nightfall expansion worthwhile? I did try Fluxx a little bit earlier, seems okay, though the animations are kinda stuttery and slow. I've played a lot of Food Fight already; it's decent, though I don't think it's at the level of Ascension and I'm not sure how appropriate the pace of the game would be for async play.

Agree on Ascension and Food Fight being decent for single player.

Sorry goon who added me to an Ascension game; I had to withdraw because of the 30 minute time limit, the 27 day one is more appropriate for me due to time zones and such...

hogswallower posted:I just got the gold version. That should have all the expansions, no? And yeah it's a bummer you can't go apeshit stealing stuff but I have other outlets for my video game hoarding tendencies so I guess I'll live. Nope, 3 expansions only and holy poo poo there are a lot. May look into these as it seems all expansions are playable standalone, which is really cool. e: Quest games as per AppShopper, bolded the stuff that comes with the Gold version: • The Quest • The Quest - Attack from Asteroids • The Quest - Celtic Queen • The Quest - Celtic Rift • The Quest - Cursed Chess Set • The Quest - Escape from Asteroids • The Quest - Hero of Lukomorye I • The Quest - Hero of Lukomorye II • The Quest - Hero of Lukomorye III • The Quest - Hero of Lukomorye IV • The Quest - Hero of Lukomorye V • The Quest - Islands of Ice and Fire • The Quest - Lost Archipelagos • The Quest - Mithril Horde • The Quest - Mithril Horde II • The Quest Lite Yes, asteroids. duckfarts fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Mar 11, 2013 |

Bummey posted:You don't have to roll a new character. All expansions for The Quest have an option on their app's main menu that allows you to enable its content in The Quest proper. Download expansion, tap Enable in The Quest, delete expansion app. That way you can use your regular character throughout the entire game. Ugh, now I'm reinstalling the Lite version to try it again and see if I was just poo poo at it before or rolled a bad character. Last time I played it(looong time ago), I had no idea where I was supposed to go and was kiting archers or some poo poo and it was resoundingly "okay".

Still, you do tend to get hosed over old-school style when say 3 bandits gang up on you, follow you back to the inn, and hang out waiting for you to get out of the inn and destroy you.

Okay, so I've been playing The Quest Lite for a while and I was at the point where I needed to get the full version to continue(it's a while in, the lite version gives you a decent amount), so I got The Quest Gold, moved my saves over and I'm in the next city and...  ...the game isn't shy about putting random bits like this all over the place; there's a brothel in town too. Also, earlier,  I think it's pretty neat, but I kinda wasn't expecting this.

heiden posted:It's been a long time but summoner is the worst starter by a huge amount, Necromancer (the long range AoE laser guys) are the best class and you want multiple of those on hand, stacked with poison and stun etc. 1-2 snipers is good too with double attack to stun/armor down the poo poo out of enemies. Later on the biggest obstacle is a huge bunch of long range enemies far away that'll murder you before you can get to them with melee. The sword girl with double attack is about the only viable melee besides your main due to sprint/range and her damage output. Medics are great also because they do a lot of special damage besides healing and have decent armor values. The best medium ranged gun class is the red-suited girl with the buff skill, keep one of those around also. Every other class is kind of bad, endgame you'll want to have a lot of long range covering your few close/medium range damage classes moving in, your main character will get ridiculous & expensive AoE spells that'll murder everyone once they get into range, that'll be your main goal. e: for general reference, I'd suggest Tactical Warrior over Lost Star Tactics, even though Lost Star is newer

Apocron posted:In the Quest is there any penalty to wearing heavy armour an using magic? It's kind of ingrained in me by DnD that casters should only wear robes. Also is there any way to keep track of quests? I got the one at the beginning town where you have to save the mayors wife but she doesn't want to come but I don't know where to find the mayor to tell him. I know it's another matching game with timers and IAP, but this Candy Crush thing is pretty good.

Corridor posted:She isn't the mayor's wife, she's some random dude's wife I think. The Mayor is the one who makes you go deal with the cemetery. He's located near the mayor though, as I recall (west of the pub I think, in the area of town with better-looking houses). And you can't tell the guy anyway, if you talk to him then he'll just whine about how you haven't found her yet... you can't complete that wifey quest until you get another quest that gives you access to the bandit leader. THAT quest is given to you in the Bloodpool Woods or whatever they're called. You don't have to complete it, just get it. Then I THINK you can go into the bandit leader's house and he'll cut you in on the ransom, the game will give you the option of loving over the husband, or loving over the bandit leader. I'll see if I can pull something together in time, but I'm also in a similar situation, only through a bit more than what the Lite version offers.

It got mentioned earlier, but the "Choice of" games are pretty loving cool. They have some free ones that have nags but seem otherwise complete, and straight up pay ones for 2-3 bucks. I played through Choice of Dragons once and I'm playing through Choice of Broadsides now. More than playing a Choose Your Own Adventure game, these are like playing a themed version of Alter Ego, and if you haven't played that, you should really click that link. I'm looking forward to grabbing either the Star Captain one or Eerie Real Estate Agent after I go through these a few times.

Corridor posted:What's the appeal of Battle Cats? Is it just the cats themselves? I enjoyed all the horrifying kitty monstrosities, but the gameplay was like the most boring loving tower defense in the world. I got up to like level 9 and then couldn't force myself further. Character design is delightfully bizarre, including the enemies and enemy bases. There's some minor strategy in there also, but the weirdness is what really drives it I think. Also, people seem to enjoy rush games.

I also have a few of the Gamebook Adventures games/books, but haven't really gone through them yet; the Choice of stuff, like Alter Ego, just seems much easier to get into by way of being simple and uncluttered.

I've been through Broadsides once and Dragons twice, and while they're great fun I'm wondering whether there's more variation in the choices that pop in the paid-for apps. I know they're not hugely expensive (£1.99 in the UK app store) but I blasted through Dragons and Broadsides in about 10-15 mins each. Everybody's saying they're definitely longer. Also, Versu is iPad only.
