VelociBacon posted:There was very recently 2 episodes of Designer Notes, one with each of the devs from ItB and FTL, it's a podcast that's a long form interview process with devs. You might really like to listen to that while you play it if you're already on your phone.

You Must Build a Boat is unplayable on my S21 if I want to use bombs because it'll stutter at less than a frame per second for five or more seconds, and during that time, the game progresses and I lose enough progression to be run-ending in some cases. I'm not holding out hope since it's a phone, but has anyone else encountered this and found a fix? No battery saving activated, game booster settings set to performance.

Are the evolutions in Magic Survival brand new? They seem really good! I haven't played in a bit so can anyone tell me why my runs are ending at 13 minutes with a big wave of enemies? Edit: Talking about the ones that require two specially leveled skills to combine into one super powerful one

To go beyond the time limit, press infinite instead of play when you select a level.

Thanks for the heads up, it didn't used to be like that, right? I thought the rounds ended at 30-45 minutes so I kept using the Play option instead of infinite.

I noticed another new Android port of an older Roguelike title in the new releases last night, game called Dungreed that I had never heard of before but has been on Steam and other platforms for a while now and has pretty good reviews overall. I picked it up and it has a nice auto-attack feature for the mobile controls you can enable so you really only need to focus on moving around. I only played like 15 mins before falling asleep last night but I liked what I saw of it so far for a flat $5 with no IAP's or ads that I can see. I browse the top new releases list a couple times a week to check for new stuff like this and it's crazy how many of the free titles on that list have ASMR in the title?

I don't know which is worse. Looking for good games/apps on Google play / apple app store or trying to find something that isn't garbage on Amazon

Dungreed is a fantastic PC game so glad it translates well to mobile. If you're curious, DangerouslyFunny played quite a bit of it. https://youtu.be/N2mZ6Ebucdg

Can anyone recommend a roguelike / permadeath sort of game where get to loot things but you can also bring stuff across runs (not permanent upgrades but like a cool gun or a sword you found in the last run). Also lots of roguelikes tens to be pretty long so I never finish them.

Shiren the Wanderer lets you chucka limited amount of items in the bank to do that but I don't think there's a native phone version of any of them

I would probably call Raspberry Mash kinda similar to what you're describing.

Doesn't have carryover stuff, but Dicey Dungeons I like because the runs are pretty short and are more or less meant to be beaten - each character in the game has a number of chapters associated with them that get unlocked as you beat previous chapters, so you don't have to beat every single thing in a single run, just each chapter.

Picked up Forward: Escape the Fold for a cool $2 and really digging it so far. The artwork on the cards is very nice. Feels polished as hell and not an IAP in sight.

Madness/Endless is a pretty rad game that almost nobody has bought apparently, it took me watching the video on the store page to really get an idea of what the hell it was because the pictures and description don't really tell you much. It's sorta like Hotline Miami but you clear rooms by swiping in a direction which sends your character rocketing in that direction, killing whatever you hit. You can change directions mid lunge and tap and hold to bring up a slowmo line to assist while you are moving but once you get good you can quickly swipe without aiming and bounce around killing everything quickly in a room before moving onto the next and doing the same. When you finish a level it shows you a neat visualization of the path your guy took too which I thought was cool. Apparently there's roguelike elements (of course) although I've only played a few levels of this so far so I can't really speak on any longevity.

Limbus Company, the new gacha RPG by Project Moon (Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruinia) just globally released. If you know those games you are probably already downloading it, if not, just know that these guys make really unique, unsettling, complex and fun games unlike anyone else. At the moment Limbus Company is sitting on a 97% positive rating on Steam, so seems like they might have done it again. Gentleman Baller fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Feb 27, 2023 |

There might be a good game in there but on the phone at least everything is so tiny, dark and inscrutable that it's really not working for me. Not to mention it all being hidden under gacha bs which i can deal with but only if the game makes it worth it, and with this i just can't tell with everything in combat happening all at once with half the popups being not in English.

I'm thinking it sucks and needs a bunch more iteration to get to somewhere good. The story missions are all trash filler fights that come down to rolling higher than the other team and having your characters be more powerful than the opponents, until you've charged up a special skill to take care of everything. You don't actually have much in the way of tactical input here - but you do have just enough that you have to pay attention instead of autoing through it. (There's no auto button). Boring as hell. At the end of each chapter there's a "dungeon", which is a series of fights where your health carries over between them, some of which are the snoozefest trash fights and others which are more interesting where you get to choose where your attacks can be specifically targeted, and taunt enemy attacks, and you're supposed to use that to make things go in your favour. The dungeon also includes some nice boss fights (that'd be even more interesting if you knew the actual rules the boss worked by, probably - there's a mechanic where they start telling you all that stuff after you've already beaten the boss which is a bit ???). There's definitely potential here. The problem is that even the very first dungeon is about four times longer than it should be and really drags by the end. The story is tedious as hell (maybe unless you've already fallen madly in love with the universe from their other games) and the loading screens are unreasonably long for something with the visual style of a flash game from 15 years ago. And the UI is buggy as heck, and also has really baffling decisions like the character page not having anything which tells you the name of the character.

PJM sort of assumes you're in love with their world and deeply into it and willing to go Google stuff. This is 100% true of their core fan base.

Eh, I only played a bit of Lobotomy Corp. before and I really dig the writing in Limbus Company. The combination of commonplace grotesque horror, constant misery and deep and obscured lore is pretty fresh when it comes to gaccha games. Honestly it kinda reminds me of anime Bas-Lag. The game can also be charming and funny surprisingly often, because your team is a bunch of very stupid weirdos. However I'll echo most gameplay complaints. The everything is far more obfuscated than it has any right to be and I have no loving idea why you can't chose your targets when fighting against human opponents, when you can do it just fine against abnormalities and it makes those fights like 10 times better.

Cynic Jester posted:Lots of Android games rely on manually saving, which I never do, so there's quite a few games I've just dropped as a result. This one did not, I played it for months and I had the same issue a few months back and ended up dropping it. Partially because I lost my progress and partially because I hit a puzzle with some of the most obscure words you could possibly imagine. "Jester's cap with a red stripe on it" (Coxcomb) and "Name for a Roman Catholic cap with 4 sides" (biretta) on the same puzzle. If you knew those answers, good for you, I'm sure you'd beat me at Scrabble! But I am neither a medieval Jester or Roman Catholic so yeah.. Kinda saps the fun if you have to Google to have a hope of figuring out the answer.

I pretty much bent Raspberry Mash over my knee and broke it, so I'm going back to Soul Knight. Most of the advice I'm seeing seems kind of counterintuitive (like, how Assassin is supposed to be a superclass but I can't get past the second boss with it, while I'm in love with the widely-panned Wizard), but I'm testing various things out to figure out what works. Anything else of note out there in that quasi-roguelike casual action RPG world these days?
