Just FYI, adding another player as a contact does essentially nothing. You have to send them a Calling Card from your lodgings to makr them your acquaintance at which point you can rub elbows with high society or get poisoned by your friend.

Knight Slingers is out for open beta. It was advertised on Summoner Wars' front page so I thought I'd give it a shot. It takes the concept of Monster Strike but does nothing with it, and adds the worst part of these f2p games within. I'm pretty dulled to stereotype anime waifu with impossible clothing and this game still had me rolling my eyes.

making an alt just to feed you a bunch of second chance items really is pretty handy

The browser version runs a little better. As long as the mobile version synchronizes properly, the browser will have the same data.

Fallen London's world is one of those rare pieces of fiction that captures an eldritch setting without just straight up copying Lovecraft, which most can't even get it right then. It's meant to be hard to wrap your head around, and there's very few things that make logical sense to our world. It's a fantastic setting and I always love to read and learn more about it, even the little stuff. However, the game as it's designed was just a too grindy for my low tolerance back when I played it in the browser. I'm thinking of giving it another go on mobile since the concept works a little better here, but I just keep remembering the grind I was in just a week or so in and just how much was yet to come. If anyone wants to read more about Fallen London's world I highly recommend checking out the Sunless Sea LP from here on SA. The thread for it is also worth checking out if you don't think you'll want to explore Fallen London on your own.

It's definitely a game that just starts to click with you after an hour or two of game play. There is no direct route you need to take, so you just pick a path, pursue it to the end or til a point where you need a specific item to progress then mark it in your plans and forget about it while you pursue another path. You can be a jack of all trades or just focus all in one skill. You pay no attention to all the trinkets and items you get at all unless they are equippable. I got a bit put off when i saw that some quest lines needed like 500 of X item, but turns out you rack up items faster than you'll know what to do with them. Certain paths, when followed to completion give you HUGE stat gains and hundreds of items as a reward. Basically it's serving as a nice little distraction for 10-20 mins every few hours, and as it doesn't seem to have a steep progression like other play and wait games i haven't found it quite as grindy even if you do have to repeat certain actions half a dozen times.

How do you generate more Bazaar currency? By knowing what you can safely sell off in bulk? I'm afraid to sell anything for fear that I'll need it in the future..

Foxfire Candle Stubs Jade Fragments Rostygold Shards of Glim Whispered Hints (though these are also useful for some quest lines) Basically anything you seem to find you get 20+ of as a reward is safe to sell because an hour or two later you'll have stock piled another 500 of that item.

Fallen London vets: how did you keep track of what you did in the game, and what you learned about the story? The in-game "journal" system doesn't really work for this purpose, so the only thing I've really thought of would be to keep like a physical notebook to write down the stories I do and the little bits of lore I learn along the way. This and the inconsistent, vague UI are getting in the way of me enjoying this game  e: also the current version of the native android app is very buggy and slow

If you ever get the whispered locked chest event, for god's sakes give it to the Zee Captain. Give it to someone else and you will need 3 fate to reverse that decision. So, about $1 to do so.

I think the reason is that gameplay like this is already like a mobile game, whereas desktop gaming is usually much different, more direct. I'd love it if a game like Urban Dead came out again, but on mobile.

I almost wish I could play a tabletop version of this.. or even have a full PC version with graphics and such. They'd have to vary the events a bit more, but having an open city where I can chase cats and woo Bohemian ladies would be fun.

Chinook posted:$3 and it has ads. Does it force ads or is it for extra currency or whatever? What kind of IAPs does it use? I don't recall ever seeing an ad in Fiesta Run (except for the more games link on the main menu) but the IAPs are for extra currency, which I recall is mainly used for unlocking stuff like skins or spending on helper power ups. They're both great games but Fiesta Run is the more substantial of the two. There's also a F2P third installment but apparently it's not as good as the first two (I haven't played it personally). mrkillboy fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Sep 8, 2016 |

It looks like the F2P vetsion of Lumines Puzzle and Music is out, in certain countries at least. It's pretty much identical to the premium version minus the classic song pack, though there's an IAP for a new, different song pack which I assume will also come to the paid version soon. The game also doesn't appear to be fully localised into English yet.

Feels like I've been waiting years for the Android version of Fallen London. I've placed far too many hours into Sunless Sea, delicious friends. Anyway, I'm in as Frank Churchill - I've added a few of you, but if I havent feel free to add me. I play pretty regularly on the bus, so I should able to respond to any letters fairly quickly. Just remember: tell the Constables it wasn't me, I didn't do nothing, and anyway - I wasn't even there! I was waiting on an inconvenient aunt...
