I can't find one and the Play Store is absolute rear end to look through, I just noticed a bunch of games in my recommended list being on sale

Picked up The Room: Old Sins because 3 wasn't on sale and goddamn I love spinning levers and pulling open drawers. Unironically. I wish they made games more often, they're so chill and solving the puzzles is always a big dopamine rush

I just wish they'd stop expecting me to care about the story

I'm seeing Shipwrecked separately on the Play Store.

Man, Don't Starve is a game that I bought, and didn't like how hot it made my phone and how quickly the battery would be used up while playing. Otherwise, I'd love it.

Please, Klei... give me Invisible Inc. I wouldn't care about battery usage, since that game is perfect.

Unless someone can be arsed making an Epic 7 thread (I'm assuming that's what you mean) then gently caress it, why not.
I know people grumble when this happens, but it's not like this is exactly the busiest thread, so why not post the FOTM, it'll either die down, then the next new hotness will come around or it'll get it's own thread

:justpost:

Recent pulls here Corvus and Tieria, both rad af. Oh and I 5 starred the light healer guy which is proving to be very helpful. Look forward to more light/dark stuff in a while.

If people are truly pissed at the Epic 7 chat then maybe someone could even make a low effort thread, idk, Unless maybe someone who's played the KR version and knows more info could make a bit of an OP for it?

People were mentioning the lack of places to get ideas for good games (and the Play store being poo poo at recommendations)

I've had ridiculous luck with this game. My last 10 pulls going backwards:

Karin (4*)
3 3*s
Iseria (5*)
Achates (4*)
Haste (5*)
Leo (4*)
Clarissa (4*)
Artifact (3*)

This might be dumb superstition but whenever I see a notification on the right with someone getting a 5*, I run and get make pulls. Its been successful and I've been almost consistent. Either that or I have the luck of the devil right now and I should be going to actual slot machines to play these games.

I have Destina, Sez, and Cecilia as well.

I thought she was pretty good in the quest, then I got Hazel in a random summon and she seems to actually be better both in damage output and healing ability as far as I can tell.

That's really weird how I meant Destina, wrote Cecilia, and yet you were still able to read it right.

I already have Achates, which is also a great healer, but my problem is that my best team is literally all fire. I'd like to have some of the top tier units from other elements too.

Been playing Adventure Communist lately, there's less to "do" than in TT2 (which is a weird thing to say) but the numbers do go up! Looks like they're still adding more too, there's a menu option with a spaceship on it that's greyed out with a "Coming soon" message. Alternatively, if you haven't played it yet Tap Wizard is a good one. There's less tapping then you would think going by the name but it's a fun little idler. I got bored with it in the late, late game because you're grinding foreeeeever for upgrades and it got too long in-between unlocks to keep me interested but I played it for a good bit there.

I'm getting pretty high up in the storyline -- 9-10 is an _ass_, and 10-7 isn't much better -- and I will second that being able to pick-and-choose good colors is very beneficial if not mandatory. My main team at the moment is mostly green, and I grumbled quite a bit at facing a long string of red-dominated levels in a row...

(My own roster: Rerolled 'til I got Ravi and Destina. Pulled Cecilia as my only other natural 5*. Cidd, Silk and Rose have been promoted to 5*, the first two because they're awesome, Rose because I pulled two and she hit 40* and that way I got her memory imprint bonus. Angelica is in the promotion on-deck circle. Elson, Karin, Romann, Armin are sidelined.)

The next banner has been announced. It's for Vildred, so not a new unit. He and a few 3*/4* units are getting a buff in the patch too. The new unit is a big robot 3* that you can farm from a challenge fight.

I haven't checked this one out yet but the other games had optional IAPs for additional, more powerful hero units and ads for the other games by the dev on the title screen.

edit: this one also has gems, which I think might be also in some of the other games but I can't remember.

First rating, by user 'Jazz': 5 stars

"I haven't played it yet. In fact it's installing right now... I just can't wait to play it. If it's only half as good as the previous installments, it's still worth 5 stars!"

Jesus christ, you shouldn't be able to leave a review until you've played X amount of time. :psyduck:

It might be good, seeing as though all of the rest of them got so much love (I haven't played any of them, because up until right now, I was getting them confused with those awful F2P timer-based builder games. Am I thinking of King's Raid?) but don't loving rate it anything until you've played it. Goddamn, why is this so hard?

I have been on the same thing, boss only, for a little while now. I'm at 98.4% now.

Edit - Looks like Nov 2nd was when I went to Boss only left. So its taken me 19 days to be almost done after that point. I should be 100% by the weekend for sure.


Trastion posted:

So i am at 83.0% complete in Pixel Puzzle. Nothing but Boss puzzles left so I get one every 4 hours. Just completed my next one and now I am at 83.2%...

So if my math is right I have about 85 more boss puzzles to go at a 4 hour wait so I can maybe do 3 a day maybe 4 if I push it.

The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever.
I liked previous Kingdom Rush games but was really disappointed by the amount of IAP present, it almost felt like a F2P game. My frustration came from the feeling that some of the more difficult levels were designed to be beatable only if you shelled out for the IAP, which is in instant turnoff for me since it means skill or strategy probably can't solve the problem.

gently caress non-cosmetic IAPs in paid games, is what I'm saying.

This is kind of where I'm at. If I'm buying in from the start I don't want to also be given options to pay more money to make things go faster or unlock heroes. If it's possible to unlock these guys through regular gameplay and it's easy enough to ignore that's fine, but if they're either so impossibly difficult to unlock that you *have* to buy them or they just straight up can't be gotten without paying for then that loving sucks.

You absolutely don't need the paid heroes to win the hard maps, in fact many of them didn't even let you use heroes. Gems are way easy to get and the items you buy with gems are also optional things to make the game easier

You unlock some heroes and some are pay only. The pay only ones are generally OP as gently caress. Also, heroes honestly aren't that big of a deal. They can and will die and only the most super OP of them can make or break your victory on the map.

I'm stuck on 10-7 at the moment. I'm also close to running out of gold :v:

That being said, I've had a glut of 4*s and 5*s just popping up and now I'm trying to optimize multiple teams. Its actually pretty fun once you get over the "omg i need good pulls" hump.
