Anyone here played Solitairica? The UI makes it look like I can buy additional decks with the ingame currency but when I hit the button it takes me to a real money purchase screen. Am I missing something here?

I believe you only have access to the warrior for free. You can pay for access to the other decks, or unlock the whole game for a bulk price.

To clarify, you're buying the ability to purchase decks with in game currency.

Anyone have any thoughts on Empires & Puzzles?

It showed up in an ad while playing another game and it looks neat since when you match things, it sends little mini-armies at the enemy up top. Nice visual touch, don't know if that's actually in the game or not.

South Park Phone Destroyer is out, soft launched in certain countries.

Anyone can give a review?

It's pretty fun, kind of similar to that Clash Royale game. Energy ticks up and you use it to activate cards that either summon dudes to auto attack your opponent or spells to direct damage/add status effects. Certain characters have activated abilities that range from mandatory (the only real way to clear hordes of weak enemies early on is the special of the Sheriff Cartman card) to useless (Pirate Ike loving blows).

Despite there being a whole bunch of PvE levels, PvP is pretty much mandatory to get the cards you need to progress (PvE difficulty ramps up super fast around 15 levels in). You need 4-5 dupes of each card to meaningfully level up yours (plus free currency plus crafting items) the PvE levels often give a single one at most, and the free packs you get every few hours only have like one or two character cards on average. Meanwhile the packs you get for 3 PvP matches can have a bunch of decent cards and the tickets you get from winning PvP matches can buy rare cards in the separate PvP store.

Balance is a bit wonky though.The Legendary cards are ridiculously OP. Just got lucky and pulled ManBearPig from a PvP card pack. He's got more than twice the health and four times the attack of any other tank card, and he only costs a single point more to summon.

Ok, weird.. While the Sonic link flat out doesn't work, now the only one that sort of gave me trouble was Phantasy Star II, saying it's not available in my country... And then the install button appeared.

Edit: for anyone else experiencing the broken link for Sonic, you should be able to download it via the "more games" section when loading up another game.

I'm pretty sure you can only do hotseat games with all human players atm, but it's still a fun multiplayer game and definitely the best quick mobile 4x experience imo.

Aside from Sproggiwood and Shattered Planet, can anyone recommend other Android roguelikes that have persistent upgrades at some level. Like a base where you can get new classes, new starting gear, shortcuts for deeper runs, etc.

I love Shattered Pixel Dungeon, but sometimes I want to have a few persistent quests to work on between runs and customize a character to achieve.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The current humble mobile bundle is all roguelikes. I don't know anything about most of them, but if you like roguelikes, it's probably worth checking out!

Hey, so I never bothered with it either during my days as a Sega Genesis owner, emulator, or even playing all of those games via Steam, but is Kid Chameleon supposed to be good? Jesus :psyduck:

I mean, Altered Beast is pretty lackluster, but I at least remember that enough that nostalgia helps it along a bit, but goddamn, Kid Chameleon.
