There's a new Mobile Humble Bundle out. Alas this time they're all games by Humongous Entertainment that are aimed at very young children (like Spry Fox in Dry Cereal and Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo).

FF: Record Keeper does a genuinely good job of providing the fan service that appeals to FF fans while still having fairly engaging gameplay that fits the subject material (and it's not too money hungry, either). They did a great job of creating something that fits the (lovely) F2P structure with a framing device that fits the series.

Keep in mind this game is VERY grindy. I got a save at almost the mid point. All I can do is grind on easy dungeons until the story finally lets me do something.

I recently bought king's league because I was a fan of the flash game. It took me a few hours to beat normal but it was fun. I might suggest hard mode because it get more dungeons and I beat every fight, except a few bosses, on the first try.

Google play doesn't allow you to partially pay with credit and use real money to cover the difference. If you have $4.99 in credit and want to buy a $5 game, it'll make you spend $5 of real money.

Game is great, but I am utterly confused on your impression of turrets. They track slow, and if they aren't paired with something else that you've got to dodge around at the same time they're super easy to just walk circles around to kill. So never ever stick them behind a point since then the attacker gets to take them out at their leisure. Also don't stand in front of them when they die the barrel of the gun shooting out the front on death will kill your dudes.
I have improved my units and stuff a bunch and light turrets aren't particularly scary any more (especially compared to a light tank bull-rushing from off-screen while I'm distracted good lord). I haven't been invaded yet I think however, I've also been attacking people almost constantly and my score is high enough that *I* wouldn't want to attack myself (I've got two little star things under my icon, which I don't know what it means but I always try to attack people without stars or with only one so). Good dodging and awareness of ranges helps a ton as well, it's sometimes easy to circumvent some turrets and tanks if they're not placed in the middle. Cannons kind of blow, they just kind of create an exploding bowling ball lane that makes it slightly harder to get combos, and on the other hand the heliminators are pretty cool - if they miss with their bombs the bombs become mines for a few seconds, which can really make it tough to cap a base point.

I've really started to take a liking to square and triangle formations but I'm sad that the only merc I've unlocked has been the minigunner.. I can't find any documentation on the game to speak of, so I don't even know what most of the merc units are or do.. And I'm looking forward to bosses when they're added, too.

redditors all chose pink so I'm turquoise or light blue or whatever it is.

So, I had to turn off WiFi (I'm home, so data is automatically off), and let it sit for a minute or so, then I got a connection error. Turned WiFi back on, and tapped Retry, and it connected. Weird.

I have to do this every time I want to play it on my phone, and sometimes, it still won't go through, and I have to kill it and try again. However, it won't go through on my tablet, a 2013 Nexus 7 running the latest version of Android. Weird.

On the plus side, I got out of the tutorial today, and the news messages thingy had a code for the DS version of the game, and a note that the DS version could generate a code for the mobile version. I gave my kid the DS code, but there's no new thingy with a code for my kid to give me, so I guess that means for now, only Japanese versions of the DS game can get codes. Ah well.

So apparently when you invade people in Tactile Wars, they get a notification and can just hit a single button named "REVENGE!". You can also watch a replay of their assault which is very helpful and potentially hilarious if they gently caress up on the first unit you laid down.

I was playing earlier and had a choice between two crappy low-rankers at the same exp level as me named SHAKA_ZULU and *CEASAR* so I attacked shaka zulu, because who really has the gall to name themselves after somebody that badass? He was a vindictive little puke, but his bases were covered by nothing but mines and geysers at level 18 (geysers are usually terrible, they're too slow, easy to predict, and they are way way too expensive to upgrade to where they are viably dangerous) so I was able to easily beat his base, then he revenged me, now I revenged back to him...

the cycle of violence goes ever onward :suicide:


edit: apparently he couldn't take the helicopters and rota tanks (holy poo poo are rotatanks nasty - they can fire a machine-gun stream of bullets in 3 or 4 directions at once, run you over, and then they just cover the whole screen with random shots, like a loving bullet hell shooter :laugh: ) and lost his counter-counter-counter invasion.. I think I got that right? :downsrim:

You'd think cannons are bad, but I just ran into a very mean arrangement. A cannon set back behind the point so it's rolling the ball down through the middle of the point from off screen. Effectively minigunner proofing their base. Combine this with mines or geysers and you've hemmed someone into a very harsh capture point defense. This one also had a surprise medium light tank from offscreen if you got too close to the back edge of the first point.

E: Though looks like that's just a fluke of that particular layout, kinda unfair I can't just do that too.

And Star Wars Commander is real good too.

I played it when it first came out on iOS and i was very quickly annoyed when my troopers would run across the map to attack a turret while being killed by the enemy soldiers. And if you brought a mix, the guys that kill soldiers would die too the turrets, so I gave up.

Speaking of Puzzle Quest, I've been enjoying Marvel Puzzle Quest, though they keep teasing me with Squirrel Girl and Ms Marvel, but never giving them to me when I get a heroic recruit token. The biggest problem is I keep coming up against walls where the battle will at one point have enough matches be made that it destroys a full strength hero and takes another to half in one move by the computer. Its really loving annoying.

I've also grabbed the Conquest of Champions and Future Fight, but while not bad, and I have to say CoC looks amazing for a phone game, they're super stingy with characters. I don't expect to recruit someone every day, but when the game is basically saying its going to take weeks of playing to unlock one character its not very encouraging.

I think if I could have any game on my phone, it would be a straight port of an earlier civ game. I hate how they have the dumb revolutions game which makes it more arcadey and cartoony. That or Master of Orion 2. I guess those games are still pretty big for phones.

When you say 'automatically off' do you mean you turn it off yourself or do you have some magic thing that can do it when it connects to home WiFi? I'm very forgetful and often use loads of data allowance because I forgot to turn it off.
