While we're wishing, I wish it eventually gets an update or sequel with iPhone 5 support. Seeing more of the pitch and having more precision would be cool. As well as the fact the 'letterbox' on unoptimised apps is all kinds of annoying.

Do you have an iPhone 5? Because I think it's incredibly loving lazy what they did to support it (stretch the image) and will probably skip it because of it.

I...I like the iOS port of FF4. FF2 was the first RPG I ever played back when I was a kid, so I've been enjoying the upgraded nostalgia. Only thing I don't like is that either I play uncomfortably for optimal combat (one hand on each side of the device), or play comfortably with slowed combat decision execution (left hand holds the device, right hand pecks at buttons) since the battle commands are on the left side of the rather long screen (ipod touch gen 5). Despite that I really love the port, it's much better than the old SNES version.

I really wish there was an option to left or right justify non-iPhone 5 optimized apps, instead of letterboxing. For "press anywhere on screen" games I keep tapping the black bar areas which doesn't work.

I don't know if there are many "find a word" game (RUZZLE, Scramble with Friends, Writer Rumble) players here, but we just turned on this Instant Opponent stuff in Word Carnivale.

No more waiting for opponent or a turn. Start as many games as you want.

Video Demo:

It's takes about 15 seconds in the current app release, the video is the next version ... but in both cases, you don't have to wait beyond that, and you always get a turn.

I did at launch, in a field of depressingly bad clones of RoB etc it stood out as the drizzling shits. Possibly the worst UI I've ever come across, terrible art work, awful game mechanics all played in utter silence. It looks like they were handed off a very early copy of the RoB game engine (which at least in other games has since been worked into something much more useable) and made no attempt to improve it. I've played a lot of freemium games, especially these kind of card games and this was seriously the worst.

If I had to recommend any in this genre I'd go for Fantasica, Blood Brothers or Rage of Bahamut. I believe a few people play the Marvel game as well but it seemed like a 95% reskin of RoB so I didn't bother with it for more than a casual days play.

The correct answer is Blood Brothers. Once I started playing BB I wondered how I ever put up with the flaming pile of poo poo that is RoB/Fantasica/Marvel/etc...

It loving sucks.



It's pretty much a poor man's blood brothers. Even though it has the final fantasy license it doesn't really do anything with it. All the classes are the same, all the abilities are the same, all the quests are pretty much the same (unlike BB it doesn't even have a map, you just push the advance quest button to move).


And to top it off the game looks terrible and blurry on a iphone 5 and there's not a single sound in the game.

We plan on doing a small update soon to fix a couple of bugs (Spartan Mode is COVERED IN SPIKES now). Then we'd like to do small content updates every month or two.

Not just Spartan mode, regular Quest mode has a shitload of spikes out of nowhere. Unless that was intentional, in which case please reconsider, I hate spikes :v:

Also, I have the punchos doubler, does that affect the occasional "share this!" puncho total (it says like 7000, am I getting 14000 or do non-puncho-doubler people see 3500 instead?) And gnomey giving out 25k (same question about punchos doubler here) seems kinda weak for deifying him when the belts and hat rerolls and stuff are 100-200k. I mean compared to an ultra hat like he used to (even one I might have to reroll) it just seems out of scale.

still lovin PQ, though, so there's that.

I played through it on the DS, and it was fun enough for me to go through again, especially since the Steam/XBLA version are improved and remade (I believe).

Everyone, buy this game. You will not regret it.

My only complaint is that the high res retina graphics don't have quite the same charm as the sprites that the DS version had, but that's just based on screenshots. It still looks like I'm going to be $5 poorer.

If, hypothetically, I wanted to get into one of the hundreds of freemium city building/business management games, which ones are actually worth a poo poo? Bonus if having a buddy can help you out.

Has anyone else who has played Punch Quest run into this bug? I tend to play it with a lovely connection, and so the scores can take a while to grab from GC. If I've gone and done other stuff--including start a new run--once the scores come back it immediately pops me back to the scores screen. This is only mildly annoying when I'm in the middle of the shop, and really annoying when I'm on a new run. Because it jacks the entire thing up and just stays at the open first door, with nothing happening.

I really enjoyed the game until this kept creeping up. It's now getting really annoying.

I've gotten sucked into D.O.F. - Defender of Pixel. It really shouldn't be as addicting as it is, but I find myself playing it a lot. Of course it's a freemium title that caters to whales. The game is good about giving you a regular, daily supply of potions and energy refills. It's completely playable and enjoyable without investing in any IAP.

Actually, I just ran into this very same bug with the same setup. It seems that you pretty much have to wait until the error message pops after a while before doing anything.

I know the answer is probably going to be "no one", but does anyone play Konami's Dragon Collector in here? It seems to be popular, but it seems a little (a lot) IAP/neopetish for my taste. I was just wondering if it's complete and utter poo poo compared to other offerings in the same vein.

I haven't played Blood Brothers but I've been having a little fun trying to play RoB and Marvel without spending a dime. If I were to recommend one right now and the poster in question was indifferent about the superhero theme, I'd say RoB entirely for the bazaar. (ingame auction house) The Marvel economy is really screwy right now, in RoB new players can level and sell cards for a decent starter income and make steady progress.

We also have a shiny new non-Rage of Bahamut TCG thread in MMOHMO. It could use posts about the non-Marvel games for new players.
