The macro system in Siralim 3 is dope as gently caress. I can just hold A and my unicorn barriers my tank, my fast imp forces him to provoke, my caster silences the entire enemy group, my centaur hits everyone that has silence, then my brownie mops up. Its freaking awesome.

So, aside from maybe 10-20 minutes via an emulator, I've never played Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest. I was just listening to an episode of Retronauts where they delved deep into the first two games (actually, I'm at the part where they just started discussing DQ2, and apparently, it's not good?). Anyway, someone in the podcast mentioned that the mobile ports were quite good. What's everyone's recommendation? Currently, I have enough google play money to probably only get the first one, but if that one is truly not worth it, I'll just save up for another one. I don't mind playing old school rpgs, btw, so it's age shouldn't be a mark against it, at least in terms of recommending it. Help me get into Dragon Quest (via my phone), goons!

The original DQ you're probably not going to like, straight out. There's very little choice of what to do during most combats of which there will be a lot, and there's not a lot of signposting on what you need to do next. As a historical product it's fantastic, but unless you have an academic interest in old games, you can probably pass. DQ2 gets a lot of hate, but it's a better experience than 1, there's a clearer path to take between locations and combats are marginally more interesting by virtue of having (eventually) three characters with different focuses. It's still extremely grindy though. As a point of historical interest it's less important than 1 to videogames as a whole, but I feel like it's still important to understanding the history of DQ specifically. DQ3 is probably the best starting point for a modern player. There's a lot of customization in terms of your party composition and combat should be much more interesting due to this and the fact that you have four people (and this is available right near the beginning) to manage in any given combat. As far as story goes, only the main character sort of 'exists' as a character, but it mostly consists of going from town to town and solving whatever problems that town has on your way to take on the big bad guy. DQ4 is where we start to see DQ take a turn for being a more generic JRPG in a modern sense. All the party members are characters (like we see in 2) and before the party gathers there are small chapters where you meet each of them and have little adventures that sort of explain who they are, where they come from and why they're involved in the plot. This is probably a good starting point if you'd rather play a game more focused on it's story and do not like having a customizable party with no plot relevance. After that the DQ series I feel really failed to innovate and while it kept a lot of DQ-ness, it didn't really do anything to be unique in the JRPG genre that it helped to originally define.

DQ2 is actually great and the remake makes it even better, it just has a notoriously bullshit last area But yeah DQ3 and especially 4 are light years better and own super hard. 5 is the best of the 1-6 run but 6 is no slouch either Edit: DraStic works amazingly for playing DQ on mobile, even with the touch screen gamepad, it has tons of ways to customize the screen, including adding your own buttons to do things like "fast mode" or "switch screens"

It's just one of those games. that gets labeled as "bad" even though the issues aren't nearly as bad as actual bad games and there are "good" games with similar or worse issues.

Siralim 3 is starting to irritate me. What's the point of team building and setting up combos when nearly every fight has an enemy in it that cuts your mana in half at the start? It just completely torpedoes any setup you made and forces you into spamming attack for 5 minutes.

What's the point of team building and setting up combos when nearly every fight has an enemy in it that cuts your mana in half at the start? It just completely torpedoes any setup you made and forces you into spamming attack for 5 minutes. That one particular enemy is super awful. Stick some Mana on your artifacts so you can cast your spells even at 50%, bring a Lich Priest or Imp Hexer so you have 0 mana cost spells (Murder of Crows/Shellburst), or keep a spell gem around that costs health instead of mana. The challenge of the game is supposed to be the unfolding table of enemies to which you must constantly adapt your team. The fact that you can't just one shot every encounter from turn one is intentional. It was a huge problem in Siralim 2 that you'd just get a fast team with AoE spells and kill everything before they got a turn. Don't forget you can add traits to artifacts with the enchanter to double dip on powers. Also, get your rep to level 3 with Erebyss, she gives you the Heart of Darkness, which causes enemies under half your level to flee and die instantly when you touch them. Then go back to the gods whose realms fall in that range and farm them for rep to unlock things like spell gem crafting (Zonte) or just a pile of perk points. Also Zonte's realms always have 5 spell gem fragments so each clear guarantees a new gem.

Can someone explain macros a little for siralim 3 please? I tried making one just to attack lowest health, and/or lowest max hp first, just basic attack, but it always says no target no matter how I phrase it. The default attack command seems to just target creature positions in an order.

I've given up until it's patched or I can use one of ya'lls This seems like the simplest, duh macro to make too.. It fails when there are 2 enemies one hurt and one lower max hp as well, I don't get it

Quaint Quail Quilt posted:I've done one; I wish there was a "if all of the above rules fail, do this"-option for macroes. Mine mostly run fine, but tend to break if a creature gets silenced or whatever the "you can't attack"-debuff was. Also wish there was a way to make buffs just pop up all at once or just skip the buffing text lines; I run a team that buffs itself constantly and even with turbo mode on, all the buffing takes a while.

Got any suggestions for Android games I can play for a couple of minutes an hour? I'm thinking of the crew minigames from Star Trek Online, where you assign crewmembers to various missions and check in on them later to see how they did. Anything with a similar "set it up, then come back later to see how you did" format would be of interest!
