For Blackbar, a lot of the time it helps to go back over previous letters to pick out key words.

Fat Samurai posted:The iPhone version feels REALLY cramped, there's a lot of information to display on the scren Oh yeah, it's pretty crowded. It seems like it would be WAY easier to learn the game in real life and then play on iOS -- as opposed to Agricola where the in-game tutorial provides a way better learning experience than the lovely rulebook.

Blackbar was pretty great, the only puzzle I thought was lame was the "where is the resistance located" one. The hint for that one is irrelevant in every other puzzle in the game and the answer isn't even a real word!

Completed the game 'Shelter'. It was a free game (priced, but was free during weekend) with no IAP so I was happy to have a go at it. Game's a TCG where you get to build your deck and go around Bristol area (UK) killing zombies and looting stuff, and eventually reuniting with your loved one. This is where the game ends though. There are different types of zombies, and they will attack the barricades and your health will go down. Barricade doesn't matter much apart from delaying zombie hordes, but you lose when health reaches 0 though. Game requires bit of thinking as your deck of guns have limited ammo while other cards are totally consumed (you can use Reload card to reload guns, as well as gun mod cards to upgrade a gun once.) Overall game design was good, but it got slightly repetitive and was bit too short. Worth playing when you can grab it for free though.

Playing though an entire level for one random card pull sucks (Screwdriver? gently caress you.) There is nothing to do with worthless cards either so it is entirely pointless if you don't get what you want. I'll probably keep playing it when I have time to kill, but it isn't really gripping. It's sad too, it shows a lot of promise.

P and D is literally crack. I am playing a throwaway game to learn the dynamics, etc. while I wait for a Godfest. Just spent $5 to get magic stones so I could finish a dungeon, even though I will be erasing all this in the near future... I have a bunch of these masks and they don't give hardly any exp for fusion, what are they for?

Mask a for evolution. When you max level most monster you can evolve it with the right material. If you look at the mask type it even says its a evo material.

Maybe a little bit of a can of worms, but what are people's thoughts on Solstice Arena? I really want to like MOBAs- I really like the idea of them- but almost every aspect of their implementation that could irritate a person irritates me. SA seems different enough from LoL and DOTA to be worth a shot, but I'm curious what other people think about it.

It's sad too, it shows a lot of promise. Before you hit Investigate, it does hint you what stuff to expect. So if it says 'military base blah blah guns' just hit on gun/gun mods only. That should give you weapons. From my play I found out tools are useless, injection/bandages (should be obtainable from first aid or something. I forgot.) are handy, energy drink (+1 AP per turn) and first aid (+3 health per turn) are useful (both from first aid or whatever it's called) but only need 1 each, and having many guns and gun mods are handy. You'd want to build your deck to have guns except AK47 (6 dmg 4 ap no thanks) and Hunting Rifle (3 dmg 3 ap no thanks), while having 2 default pistols can be handy. Magnum is good but only need 1. I didn't even grind cards. All I did was just rush through main missions. If you get lucky you can deploy gun cards at initial stage which helps to clear zombies from building up. But sometimes when you don't get any guns (not even default pistol) from initial deck? Just forfeit and restart mission. E: also when you start the mission it should tell you what zombie boosters there are and how they work, so you can concentrate on killing those first.

goethe gear xx posted:Regarding the paid heroes in Kingdom Rush: Frontiers: I got the game when it was on sale recently and really liked it so I went and bought some heroes, namely the dragon, the rock guy and the healer. To add onto this, I bought the Protoss hero. He's bonkers overpowered. He has three ranged AOE spells and one of them is an instagib that will immediately remove targets up to around 1500 combined health (the tooltip says 1000 but it lies). This is good because you can kind of aim it by placing the hero directly in front of a 1500hp meatshield and instagib it. His best early spell is this little drone thing that flies around and kills everything. It pumps out 80dps -- more than any tower in the game -- and lasts for 3 seconds. He summons it pretty often. He's got a chain-lightning thing that isn't flashy but can do tons of aoe damage. One point in one of his skills makes him ignore armor completely and raises his base damage (up to ~50 total dmg@10). And to finish it off, he ends up with Medium armor and 400 health at level 10. He can pretty easily solo most everything because he doesn't give a gently caress about armor and has so much damage output. If you throw him at a choke with some other barracks dudes he can pump out enough AOE damage that you really don't need much tower support. His weakness is that he's melee and will get owned by ranged guys. The good news is that his final skill makes him explode for a shitton of damage when he dies -- and is conveniently timed so that the huge pile of ranged dudes that were attacking him are directly inside his death explosion.

Very simple to learn and the auto-buy option for your hero's gear seems to work just fine. However the game is extremely loving unbalanced, letting you come into the game with higher levels skills/spells than other players which lets you do more damage or have a bigger area of effect or what have you. People who've played longer than you will stomp your poo poo in not only because they're practiced, but because even using the same character and items, they'll be 2-3x more effective as you. It also pesters you to death with messages and popups, turn off all notifications for it if you install

I must be the only goon to play P&D for a couple of months and not care about it that much. I mean, it's okay, but I only really fire it up to get the daily login bonus and maybe play a few rounds every few days. I guess I just don't Get It. That people sink real cash into this is beyond me.

There aren't many iOS games that you can play for months, hooked or not. I've been getting into it more and more too. Is there a current P&D thread? The only one I'm finding is closed. I partied up with an Owl last night that could do water or shadow(dark?) damage. Holy poo poo it was insanely powerful. As for leaders, can Water Mech Warrior Midgard carry me to endgame? I read a TA thread that lead me to believe he's good, but I still might reroll come Godfest.

I made an American account and got P&D and it is not worth the effort. I assume you can play an ok match 3 game for a while with your regular scrub tier Pokemons before hitting a wall where deleting the game and redoing the tutorial 76 times for a rare guy was worth it.

I like it, but it becomes stupidly easy and/or frustrating playing as/against higher level characters. I've pretty much maxed out my Hamhock to the point where I can kill an entire team of average levle players without issue. Don't expect mactches 30-40 minutes in length like Dota 2 or LoL; there are no creeps so most matches end in 10-12 minutes max.

Edit^^^ great kid, don't get cocky. Captain Matchbox posted:I made an American account and got P&D and it is not worth the effort. You can beat the game with out paying IAP or having a starter god. The starter dragons last form has the same leadership ability as the main color top tier gods, but worse stats and a terrible ability. The fire starter Mons is likely your best bet. It just takes you 3-4 months longer to get to the end game compared to the 3 days of rerolling. Also save literally every free stone for a good Godfest, until you finally have something good. You can get a total of 120ish free ones, not including the free 7 the seem to give out every other week or log in bonuses. You will get a god with that many stones.
