"Another Eden", a mobile gacha RPG from two former Chrono Trigger team members - the lead writer and composer - is available for pre-load right now. I'm a HUGE Chrono Trigger fan so I'm hyped for this. It even has a Frog Swordsman named Cyrus. Full game launches tomorrow evening.

What's the gameplay like? Standard Gacha or does it actually try to do something unique?

Supposedly Another Eden is more like a JRPG than a standard gacha game. Instead of doing limited time events, they add permanent story content with limited time gacha banners related to it. People say the gacha is not very necessary either since the story characters are apparently pretty good and can be promoted to 5* or whatever highest rarity.

I'm going to give it a shot. Be nice to play a mobile RPG that you can stop playing for a while without missing out on limited events.

Joint Battles are *spicy*. Every one I have done has resulted in a very narrow victory, definitely some seat-of-the-pants stuff!

Very fun.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
I wonder if Archers will ever not be terrible in Langrisser. I've watched fliers rush archers and murder them as well as any ground-based attacker. They only seem to be good against fliers if they're attacking and from a distance. As a result they seem pretty outclassed by mages (and some healers).

I'm 2/3 on joint battles. The one I failed was pretty close and we would've absolutely won if the host hadn't rushed his infantry-type Matthew directly at the two cavalry to the south to die without doing anything worthwhile. One of the reasons we lost was because of the lancer who shows up with the tanky-as-hell infantry in the southern reinforcements.

Got two of those and a friendly duel out of the way so now my Cherie is 4 stars and even more murder-tastic. She's over 320atk when she gets a buff from someone like Sophia and heads out to delete two enemies of her choice in a single turn. :black101:
(That 90def really hurts when she's on the receiving end though)

This and the iOS thread were the main hits when I searched earlier so I'd say go for it.

Pubbies are terrible, as in every game.

Any team battle that involves enemy lancers is also a shitfest - everyone starts with an SSR cavalry unit, so of course a bunch of morons pick him on every map regardless of enemy composition.

Troll Patrol gets a lot easier the longer you last, the first couple waves are the hard part. There are a couple abilities that straight up break the game: Flight resets the board completely and guarantees no enemies on the new board, and Smash resets the damage of every non boss enemy on the board to 1 permanently. Flight isn't too op because it's on a 20 turn CD but Smash is hilariously broken and only has a 10 turn CD by default I think. You can basically just play forever if you get both those abilities.

I must be bad because I keep stalling on wave 3. My best is 4th wave. I can't seem to twig on what I should be focusing on with my upgrades.

Huh. I got that $1.99 character with my Google survey money, and she's turned out to be my MVP. She can skip across with Aim, nuke something then jump back into Guard range of my Lancer.

I also got a horse crossbow unit, though, which has been totally useless.

Both are good for gimmick maps with tons of fliers, but Narm is pretty baller if her limited cooldown ability is ready. She can ruin any infantry or monster all by herself if you give her time.

If nothing else I go for increasing Max Armour, but the skills that let you collect all of one type of tile are great, as are Flight and Smash. I also like the one that lets you accumulate over 100% HP.

I just found out I have a £10 Google play voucher to use by the end of the month and have no loving idea what to spend it on. I haven't played any phone games in a while and they tend not to hold my attention for long. Is there any current hotness or should I just buy Lara Croft / Deus Ex Go like I keep meaning to?

So I'm watching this video from a CBT in November. Turn based combat, Sphere Grids, Jobs, no Auto Combat (but there is a Repeat button), you can speed up battle; it looks good.

Random Encounters are things that just happen. I was hoping that with the 2 CT people working on it, we'd get to see monsters on the field, but alas.

Good stuff there! I'm excited for this one. Looks like servers kick in around 2 Eastern. I was under the impression that it came out Sunday but I was sadly mistaken.

Another Eden data download is live. You might want to start now, I've had mine going for 5-10 mins and it's around 6%.. it's measured down to the hundredths of a percent.

I was coming back to report the same thing. I'm also on company wifi and we were in a video conference when I started the download so that was probably eating some bandwidth.
