boy are my arms tired posted:Thread, I'm feeling like playing a dumb build base war game, like Game of War or Empire: Three Kingdoms. What is the new hotness? IAP is okay, the less egregious the better though. I haven't played it but Transformers: Earth Wars is apparently kind of decent.

They're apparently working on another empire-builder game but its in closed beta at the moment.

Solitaire Decked Out is out. It's free. And that means ad-free, too. It has IAPs from $0.99-$1.99 to buy themed card decks, but that's optional, as you can earn coins to unlock them with. Android Police gave it a glowing review.

I want to play this but it overrides my music even when sound is turned off in the app. I've noticed this happening a lot more recently than it used to (lazy programmers???) Anyone know how to fix it so I can listen to music and play?

So I got a pixel xl and I'm trying to tax it until it breaks, any intensive games I can throw at it? Maybe even dumb physics stuff?

Any good Freecell games done like Decked out? I have one game, but it's fairly basic, though it does keep track of your score, and I think has leaderboards. Freecell will always be better than Solitaire in every way

Space Marshals 2, the sequel to one of my favorite mobile games is out as an unreleased beta. Interestingly, compared to the original (and even the iOS version) its now F2P with ads but comes with a premium unlock IAP.

Oh Sir! The Insult SImulator is a new word game where you build insults and hurl them against an opponent like a fighting game. It's actually kind of impressive; everything is voice acted and some of the sentences you come up with can actually be pretty spectacular.

Been playing Infinity Blade Saga lately and it really kicks rear end. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone but a hardcore Infinity Blade fan due to the fact that some of the text is in Chinese, but it doesnt interfere with the gameplay at all so its mostly an aesthetic thing. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/OWLLRjwDVPw Install guide + DL links in video description: https://youtu.be/jGvtwXFUqKY After the tutorial it'll ask you to login via one of two methods. The first requires a Chinese phone #, so use WeChat instead which is faster and free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm

Anyone have anything to say about Don't Starve? EDIT: Removed a bunch of stuff, because apparently there are reviews up now on the play store. Still... anyone here have anything good/bad to say about it? Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Oct 26, 2016 |

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Anyone have anything to say about Don't Starve? I grabbed it on sale recently. It's a great concept and well executed, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I found the gameplay too abstruse and unforgiving, often dying with little understanding of why or what I should even be doing. Crashlands is done in a very similar "dumped in alien environment to craft your way up the food chain" way, but it is a more lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek execution. I liked Crashlands a lot, though the middle of the game can be a slog.

Oh, I probably should have mentioned that I've played it on Steam, really liked it, and was just curious as to how the Android version holds up. Thanks, though. I assume by well-executed, you mean that you didn't feel that you were playing a bad port?

It's still IAP heavy, and boooooy are there some dumb ways you can waste money, but I've been able to get into the game, an alliance, and have fun building my base / raiding scrubs / customizing my dragon without spending. It's worth a shot if you are interested in these games, but uh yeah there are some mega whales in these games lmao

Ive only been playing during this event, but it and the daily quests definitely scale with you and scale harder as you advance. I'm level 34 and giving up at 19/20 because the last stage is L42 for me and I don't have the team for it, plus none of the friend units available to me are overpowered enough to carry me through it

If you have an ipad or an IOS device capable of playing the Infinity Blade games then i'd go with that. If you're stuck with android and you want to play Infinity Blade then Saga is the best option for the moment.

I eventually beat it with a metric shitton of spring and bolt traps and it was still a close thing, as in bear trap cd comes up just in time for me to put it on the last square before the core before one of those loving dwarf things sneaks into it.

There is so many solutions that I don't want to box you into just one. But as of late im doing like 20 into money, I'm sure ill flip flop on it for fun later.

AnonSpore posted:Should I be putting all my levelups into gems or money? Or does it not matter much either way? Er, if you mean traps when you say gems I say put all the gems that let you reach level 5/10 in traps you get good mileage out of in said traps and the rest in money. 15 should be saved for traps you can make all heroes pass by since you can only have one tier 4 trap of each type outside endless runs, and past that gets very expensive fast. Hearts are a waste; if you need them use the breeze rune, and if that doesn't help changing your loadout/checking your tactics will do you more good than more hearts because if your setup leaks chances are good the leak starts long before you're two or three heroes shy of finishing. Cooldown items do get extra benefits if you put enough gems into them, but you need at least level 10 to see what they are and I feel much safer being able to upgrade traps to tier 3 than having to rely on the cooldown items to keep things contained.

PinOut is a new game from the devs behind Smash Hit that can kind of be described as pinball meets an endless runner (you basically keep trying to hit the ball up a never-ending table against a time limit). It's pretty great and looks quite good too, especially if you're into the whole Tron/neon nightmare type aesthetic. It's also quite easy to zone out playing this thing.Kabuki Shipoopi posted:"Your device is not compatible with this version" It shows up compatible with my one, though I have the international version with the Exynos chip which might explain it. mrkillboy fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Oct 27, 2016 |

It's very pretty but I'm not sure I like it. The "board" mechanics are too simple and the physics feel weird for a pinball game.

You're right, I didn't really notice how weird the ball moves until you pointed it out (I'm going with the excuse that it's "space pinball"). It does seem to throw in a few new mechanics and obstacles as you progress however.

AnonSpore posted:Heroes Must Die is kicking my rear end so hard I should have taken a screenshot of my setup. I basically was funneling everything through that top opening and I made a checkerboard of spring traps facing upwards and slime traps. In the walls were either rapid fire darts or the big darts, I can't remember the name of the trap right now. The fully upgraded slime trap does tons of damage and when you put a slime trap before a spring it seems to make it so that more units will pile up on it at one time. Launching everything into the abyss is very fun and when you perfect the level it feels so so good
