Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
I didn't play a whole ton, and to be honest I think I missed some of the town tutorial. I set out alone and it had me buy 2 sets of armor for some goddamn reason- chain and leather- and I could really only afford 1. Now I'm over-encumbered. What the hell? Was I supposed to find another traveling companion or something?

Hi :)

Don't know if my question goes here or in the general thread...

I want to play NES/SNES Emulators on my TV. With my actual setup (see below), is this the easier and cheapest way? => With a USBOTG connector, I would be able to connect my PS4 controller to my cellphone. Then I mirrorcast my cell to my chromecast and I play on my TV. Will this work flawlessly (no lag)?

Actual setup:
Samsung Plasma TV (not smart)
Galaxy S4 and soon S6 (no root)
Chromecast
Bluetooth controllers (Wii Remote and PS4)

Apps:
John NES - NES Emulator
SuperLegacy16

I still doesn't have a USBOTG connector. Will any do the job? Do you have a better (cheap) suggestion?

Thanks alot! :)

Siralim is basically Dragon Warrior Monsters meets Disgaea. You build a team of six monsters by "extracting cores" from injured enemies (3 cores gets you a copy of that monster), and every single monster has a unique passive ability. Monster abilities range from "Gives your entire team damage shields every battle" or "When killing an enemy, heal 50% of max hp, take another turn, and gain a buff for 3 turns that gives you multiple hits per attack" to simple buffs like "50% of luck stat is added to attack".

It's also got a ridiculous list of character perks for your non-combat main character, equipment for your monsters that levels up and can have its stats upgraded and altererd, a town (castle) that you expand and level up, and even more crap to do.

The battles aren't super complicated, monsters can only attack, defend, or provoke (taunt effect that lowers your defense), or spend their turn letting you extract from enemies or cast a spell, or run away. Your monster choice makes a big difference in your strategy, though, so it isn't just spam attack. There are 5 classes for monsters that form a circle of advantage, so your Life monsters do extra damage to Death monsters, but the Death guys are strong against Chaos, and so on.

As an example, my team has a Nature guy whose attack bounces to 2 random enemies and does 35% damage to them and bleeds them, so i try to always aim him at a Life monster for the damage boost. Then I have a Life guy who stuns anyone at 100% hp, and a Death monster with the ability I mentioned above where he gets huge buffs when he kills enemies. So rather than just focusing down the worst monster, I'm spreading damage around waiting for my cleanup guy to get 3 extra turns and wipe half the battlefield.

This game is everything I've wanted in an RPG. Even the random dungeons are less boring than most games that tout procedural/random levels. You always get a quest in each level that gives a huge chunk of XP, great items, and a perk point for your main character. Each dungeon type has different conditions, like the winter realm can cause monsters to slip and lose their attack, or in the grasslands you might fall in a hunter's trap and get snared.

The only black mark I give the game is that virtual gamepad controls typically suck (but if your phone allows it, it adds that little haptic feedback buzz so you know you hit the buttons), and there are still a few bugs (using a consumable that buffs you for the next battle can crash the game, which refreshes your current dungeon floor). Still, holy crap this game has all kinds of hooks in me.
On their main website, it says there are versions for Windows and Mac as well - maybe the controls are better with a mouse and keyboard?

"It's time to choose."
This game came up while I was trying to find Hotline Miami stuff on the Play Store; Deadly Bullet

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tommisaalasti.deadlybullet



You play as a speeding bullet flying through the air in a top-down perspective. You basically just steer the bullet through the level, picking up items and killing bad guys.

I noticed it's from 2013 but I have been Android gaming since before then and it managed to slip under my radar so I figured it may have for most people. Check it out!

I somehow enabled Crossy Road to give me reminders. Now I want to kill myself as it likes to inform me that I have credits ready an hour before my alarm clock is set to wake me for work.

Please, how do I turn it off without deleting the game and cache and losing my unlocks? :(

On some newer devices the Metal Slugs apparently suffer some kind of weird bug where the virtual buttons absurdly take up almost the entire screen, so its probably best to avoid them. Otherwise they're fairly decent ports and I had no issues playing them on a phone.

Once you get dead, tap the Gear icon at the bottom of the screen to go in to Settings. In the 3x3 grid that appears, the bottom middle is named Reminders. Tap that. It should turn a lighter shade of blue, and disable them.

If that doesn't work, do what Kyrosiris said.

If you're looking for a new PAD clone Dungeon Link is alright. The battle puzzle system seems pretty unique but also might drag the non-boss fights out longer than I'd like (there's an auto system but it isn't unlocked until later).

It doesn't seem to be anywhere I go. Someone told me McDonalds and Toys R Us, so I pop my head through their doors if I pass.

In the 12 months I've been doing it I've earned less than 8 quid.

I got a survey asking me who I'm voting for in the general election a week ago, I wonder which poll it contributes to.
