How's rerolling in the DQ game, or not worth the bother?

SPOON!
I couldn't get into it. Just missing so many modern QoL features.
Don't make me wear a boomerang into a quest, tell me right before I go into the quest, make me back out, click a dozen times+ to equip a boomerang, then click another 15 times to get back into the quest.

Also, making skill use in Auto mode a pay only feature is lovely.

A modern pass at the game UI/system might make it good. But as it stands, it's too time consuming and tedious for me.

If a game is trashy enough that you need to reroll a whole bunch to enjoy it, you're better off not bothering at all.

It doesn't require Root or even an Emulator, just a file exploer, like Solid Explorer. You delete 4 (maybe 5) files, then start the game again.

Same. Allegedly according to the reviews on Android store, once you win a Retro Bowl the difficulty spikes and becomes bullshit. I wouldn't know I got eliminated in the playoffs in my 3rd year so far.

I guess it didn’t matter. Second try I got a metal slime bow and metal slime rod from the 10 pul, and tickets on that banner. Plus a lunar fan.

Lol such hyperbole. Takes literally three taps to get from any menu to the bonus list of a quest, and literally another three taps to get to your equipment menu. That's even if the quest has an equipment bonus, which is fairly rare.

Also the 'use skills automatically' is so needless - it's not like this is an idle game, and besides, skills aren't even that necessary. I think the only times I use it is when I want a skilful finish.

Tap to everything wouldnt be so bad if each menu didnt cause 5 seconds of freezing.

Edit: the game isnt bad when it is working, but it needs better optimization.

Menus are DQ and asinine systems are DQ.

I just won the prestigious Retro Bowl in my 5th year, so I'll keep an eye out for that. So far, the best strategy has been to get a WR that's fast as hell and just wait till he gets open.

I also find that if you are down by two touchdowns, you've already lost.

This new retro football game is pretty good. You only play offense but mechanics are good and even has management.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newstargames.retrobowl

Probably worth the buck but once you get the hang of passing and draft a decent qb it's a pretty easy game, especially if you get a quality wr and rb too. The pass to the hb out of the backfield is drat near unstoppable, same for leading and throwing deep to a fast wr. Won the super bowl in my third season and I can't see me ever losing more than 1-2 fluke games per season going forward.

Does having a good defensive rating make a difference? I feel like 90% of the time, the opposing team scores on their run regardless.

Not as far as i can tell. Maybe if you went all in on defense it could, but then the part of the game you actually play won't be as good.

I noticed a significant improvement once I got a good defensive coordinator and a couple good defensive players. The good teams will still usually score but chumps will get stopped a fair amount. It's not worth investing in until you have the offense settled, though.

Is there some sort of law that says all gacha game need to have god awful UI? I'm seeing 15 different buttons which many probably lead to a similar amount of buttons. And three of those buttons have "notifications". Also I think 7 of those buttons are shops or tempting you into spending premium currency.

Well they really need to explain how the game works because their game has really broken the mold. This game let's you level via grinding but there is a cap. To go pasted the cap you can combine a series of harder to gain resources. Once you have reached that cap you can combined two of the same character to break that cap and/or make their skill level go up.

At least until it decides to turn Buffalo into an unbeatable juggernaut! I lost 37-0 and 35-0 last two games. I think I had 7 interceptions to 2 completions in one of them. They just seem to have all 5* defenders that are faster than all of my players and just toss them to the ground leaving me nowhere to throw ever. Also an unstoppable offense that bull dozes my decent 4* defense.I haven't lost to any other team in the past two seasons, but they are my 3 losses every year (division games and playoffs).

I'm hoping I run into an unbeatable team like this, I was running train with a one star runningback who seemed to stiff arm everyone. I think he had 30 touchdowns my first season.

I'm thinking of dumping my entire offensive roster except my QB and a good WR and dumping everything into defense to see what happens. My offense is usually just wait till WR is open or check down. It seems to work pretty good.

My WR had 52 TDs last season. The next year he had 21. The game just demos you the next season. Also don't see the point in joining other teams and inheriting garbage. I never accumulate enough coins to ever afford FAs or good coaches anyways.

Yeah I kinda broke retro bowl with a max speed max catching WR and a decent QB with all other roster in high cost very good defensive units. I never get scored on and my boy catches balls in a 20 foot radius even in a crowd. Kinda sucks actually because the game was fun.

This is game breaking too:
Also I found that if you just spam double tap when kicking for +1 after a TD once the bar is at full power it automatically gives you a perfect kick

Yeah I didn't notice a difficulty spike once I won a Retro Bowl.

Super speedy WR with a decent QB is indeed ridiculously strong. As is passing it to the RB running from the backfield.
