Drone posted:Can you post links to those budget decks you mentioned? I'm googling for stuff like "mech Mage" and getting like 20 different decks with that description. The hearthstone theard is a better place for this but: Cog master x2 Mechincal gnome x2 Mech warper x2 Mirco machine x2 Unstable portal x2 Frostbolt x2 Flame cannon x2 Annoy-o-tron x2 Spider mech x2 Harvest golem x2 Arcane intellect Piloted shredder x2 Mechanical yeti x2 Kezan mystic Fireball x2 Goblin blastmage x2 Mulligan for one mana minions and two mana minions.

Drone posted:That, and there's no MtG analog to what Hearthstone offers as a gaming experience on PC and mobile. Sure, there's the Duels of the Planeswalkers games, but 2015 was railroady and awful, and MtG Online costs (a lot of) real money and is probably awful for players who are new to the game. There is Hex: Shards of Fate http://hextcg.com/

It is impossible to build a good warrior deck in Hearthstone. gently caress i'm getting my rear end handed to me in every single bout. I can literally predict what cards my opponent will have and there's not a god drat thing i can do to stop their onslaught.

FillInTheBlank posted:There is Hex: Shards of Fate Er, you know I was specifically talking about MtG, right? My point was that there are MtG video games, but they're generally not great (okay, Planeswalkers 2014 was fine, but it doesn't give you the "TCG" experience like MtG: Real Life Edition gives you)

I highly recommend dropping into the Hearthstone GDT thread in the Blizzard Subforum to get good info on decks and strategy. Spreading out posts over the iOS and Android thread is going to be less efficient then just checking that thread's OP and then hopping in to the discussion with any questions you have, there are plenty of new players in that thread so it isn't an old boys club by any means.

Wizards did announce magic duels: origins recently. It comes put on July and replaces duels of the planeswalkers. Instead of new versions very year, it just updates when a new set comes out. There's single player and in game currency to buy cards with, and i think you can pay real money too. It's pretty much the best mtg game.

Most still consider it by far the worst entry in the series, which is reflected in its poor sales and reviews. I am not optimistic about Duels: Origins.

I can't imagine they'd make the mistake of only allowing you one deck to use twice because wowee zowee that is dumb. Glad I skipped it.

There's a patch available that'll let you run it on a modern machine. It also adds cards, updates the graphics and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know if linking to it is  but it's called "Shandalar 2012".

Niton posted:Apparently The Enchanted Cave 2 came out yesterday, a few months after its kickstarter.The original was a pretty great, if short, flash game rogue-lite, and the Kongregate demo of the second promises more of the same. I played the original on Kongregate, and enjoyed it. Played this there, too. It's a pretty darned good roguelike. I'm waiting for the Steam version, personally, but you can't go wrong with getting this version. Knowing me, I'll probably end up with both.

If you're on the PC and jonesing that badly, seriously give Hex a shot. It does enough differently from MTG to be interesting but is so close to it mechanically that a MTG player can learn it almost immediately. I mean "hit with an infringement lawsuit" close.

MPLS to NOLA posted:willus was right, though I don't regret yelling at him (it's a simple pleasure of mine) Did you select the random creature tier upon start up? Also spend your granite on more creature tier upgrades so that that you'll be fighting more kinds of enemy. e: It isn't really f2p if you only pay once for the game and there are no cash options at all.

Summoners War is a great Pokemon/team battle clone. It gets grindy if you want to excel, but the production values are great for a mobile game and it's very generous about earning free premium currency. Definitely not pay to win. You can drop $100 on summons and still get hosed by the RNG.

FredMSloniker posted:Regarding the lack of Civ games on Android: is it worth mentioning Freeciv? Unless you're really familiar with Civ 2, it's got quite a learning curve and little to no tutorial to speak of. And considering that game is almost 20 years old at this point, it's entirely possible that a lot of people won't have any clue how to play. Plus general UI clunkiness and, let's be honest, graphics so old school that they impact playability, especially on a smaller screen. Not a lot of points in its favor. That said, if you are already familiar with it, it's certainly playable. Just... not great.

FredMSloniker posted:Regarding the lack of Civ games on Android: is it worth mentioning Freeciv? The game itself is fine, but the UI is atrocious on a tablet and there's no explanation for what buttons do what in the game. If you're already pretty familiar with playing Freeciv in a browser it's probably okay, but not really ideal. I'd play the crap out of it if they just made it more tablet-friendly though.

FYI, the two tales of Illyria games (fallen knight, beyond the iron wall) are on sale currently. They're like a cross between an early final fantasy battle system and an Oregon trail resource management system, but with a campaign and a ton of random events. I really like them. Also, they are one of the few good RPGs I've played that are android exclusive, if that matters to people.

Is anyone playing 'Prison Life RPG'? You select one of many different prisoners and have to survive your sentence before getting released. You can join gangs, extort people, shank people, craft drugs, take part in boxing matches and drop the soap in the shower amongst other things. You start with the choice of about 10 characters and as you 'complete' the game with them you have access to more with longer prison sentences. In longer sentences you can work towards making an escape plan. It seems pretty deep for a mobile game and lighthearted considering the subject matter. My latest character is trying to kill as many people as I can. I'm already on death row and good friends with the guard running solitary confinement. I've only got a few days before I get executed and I'm using it saving money to get my lawyer to rescue me with a helicopter. Anyway it's £2.99/$3.99 with no IAP, seems to have a decent level of replayability.

I wish I could say the same about the other game of theirs I tried, Puzzle Forge 2. It's an interesting one, but I just don't have the patience to force myself to get decent at that type of planning/puzzle game.

Ohvee posted:It's really great, worth paying to remove ads. There was a recent update that gave out a ton of the 3X3 weekly puzzles. I recently picked up a Galaxy S6 after my last Nexus 4 came down with a serious case of gravity, so pretty much everything runs silky smooth (Hearthstone included) and makes me a terrible source of information on how well things run. Since I was stuck with my old Nexus S until the S6 came out for about a month, it means I'm catching up with a few titles that I may have missed lately.

Haerc posted:Anyone have an experience with these? The gamebook engine they have is solid, though not fancied up like how Inkle does. Bookmarks, rolls dice for you, yada yada. The only gamebook in that collection that i've played heavily is To Be Or Not To Be, which is a bit of an exception in that it's not a game at all, just a traditional Choose Your Own Adventure. However, it's both a really lengthy and, more importantly, a really GOOD choose your own adventure, it's by the guy who makes Dinosaur Comics. (I actually have the physical book the app is based on.)
