vulturesrow posted:Any more general tips for Gems of War besides what has been posted already? I'm especially bad at PvP. Some common/rare cards to consider using: * Anything that has "Take another turn" on its active skill. Boar Rider, Goblin Shaman, Goblin, Satyr, Hobgoblin, Skeleton, War Sphinx all do this. * Board control. You want cards that can change orbs from one color to another or kill a row so that you can set up easy 4-matches or skull matches. Alchemist, Banshee, Templar are the cheaper transformers; Centaur Scout and Boar Rider kill rows (Boar Rider thus being really good to have around.) Alternatively, removing orbs of a color can also be useful in the same way; Pegasus, Glade Warden, Night Terror, Skeleton, Revenant, Reaver, Star Gazer, Vampire Lord, Warlock are the cheaper ones. * The random factor. There are several units that create orbs of a specific color (or skulls). These can be really great when you get good drops and they chain into extra turns that let you do it again; they can be horrible if they set up big clears for the opponent. Rock Worm is the most common example -- Burrow does damage and creates Brown orbs that you hope will refill Rock Worm's tank to do Burrow again and so on. Goblin Shaman, Valkyrie, Acolyte, Deep Borer, Dryad, Griffon Knight, Pegasus, Siren, Serpent, Skeleton, Wight are the cheaper ones; some of them do damage too. * Other commons that you may have lying around; Golem's ability can whittle down armor quickly, though it's not very useful when they're down to hearts. Pride Hunter does damage and locks down the first enemy's skill, which can be useful if they're about to zap you with something. There are a bunch of other synergies to consider but the above should help you get off the ground. Once you have enough gold to open new areas and explore there, do it; the end boss of each area unlocks an Epic, some of which are pretty good. Raven in Mist of Scales is quite good. Build a coherent team to PvP, use that gold to try Arena, use those souls to boost your main team to high levels, repeat. Also: Do not spend big money (or any, really) on gems for Magic Keys. They're not worth it. They give a guaranteed ultra rare (which is nice, but they drop infrequently from regular keys as well and those are much more common) and, as noted, the UR may be something decent or it may be crappy. You get increased chances of Epic and Legendary -- but frankly, since the campaigns give you one of each Epic for free, getting an Epic from gems is not a very good thing. I've gotten three Legendaries so far from regular keys, though they're understandably quite rare from those. delfin fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Lowness 72 posted:So does Desktop Dungeons continue to live up to the hype? It had a development cycle that included being in "backer beta" so long that it predates the Kickstarter trend. When they finally finished it, it was clear all that time was well spent. Most companies would have released any of the dozens of stable, balanced versions they had in the meantime, but these guys are insane and stayed in beta way too long which resulted in a ridiculously feature-full and slick game. Add to that the fact that it's been out on PC for 2 years before the tablet version and, yeah. It's way good.

Lifeline is on sale right now. It's a real time interactive story where you are in radio contact with a stranded astronaut who crashlanded on an alien moon. You choose responses to his questions and suggest what actions he takes (check out those mountains or try to get back to the wreckage of the ship for example). He then sets off to carry out the action and tells you he'll be in touch when he is done. You get a notifcation when something interesting happens or he simply updates his feelings (my legs feel like jell-o, oh great, now all i can think about is eating jell-o!). I've only been playing for the first 3 or 4 hours but it's a really nice way of telling a story that you can catch up on during a poop / smoke break.

Wish this was something you could toggle in the app, since I know it would stay well-enough charged if I left it plugged into the comp.

Is there a better top-down Raiden-esque shooter than Sky Force? I've been enjoying Sky Force but wouldn't mind trying something different, and there's too many bad, spam-filled clones on the Market.

Lifeline is really cool, just be aware it needs an Internet connection to validate the license, so don't install it and then forget to play it until you're out on call in the middle of nowhere like I did.

Lifeline is pretty neat. Really get the feeling that someone is out there stranded and really relying on my help to guide them along. I like it. I find myself randomly checking my phone to see if they've checked back in.

Anyone else getting false notifications? It'll say he's waiting on me but he's "busy" when I open the app. Overall though.. really clever, I'm digging it. Wonder how long the story goes or if it's kind of a repeating loop depending on if he survives or dies.

Glad you guys are enjoying it. Im looking forward to finishing the story just to start it over and choose some alternative options and see how much difference it makes. It took the immersion out of the game for me a bit ago asking me to research safe levels of radiation he could be exposed to which is a real nice touch. Im wondering if there are any 'wrong' choices or if it will ultimately play out to just a few fixed endings. Stay safe Taylor!

I tried that one, but there's no persistent upgrades, and the in-level ones aren't that great. I am kind of getting a kick out of Space Galaga, but I hope the waves get more varied soon.

I got Lifeline the other day and just uninstalled it. I loved the whole concept, but Taylor was just insufferable. She was constantly making snarky remarks, right from when she had just crashed on the deserted moon or even right after finding most of the crew dead. I was completely willing to meet the game halfway, but that completely took me out of it. I played for a while, accidentally killed her a few times, and just didn't find it that compelling.
