Perhaps I am just being retarded, but I am trying to play 80 Days for the first time and I am stuck. I got past the initial dialogue and credits but can't seem to do anything but open the suitcase and see when the train leaves for Paris

Speaking of card games, I've been playing one called Card Thief, where you have a thief navigating through a 3x3 set of cards, managing your stealth and collecting treasure til you get a chest and escape. It has a great risk/reward system and I'm enjoying it a lot.

precision posted:Is the new Kingdom Rush game good? The one that's space marines or whatever? As above it's more RTS than tower defense, and a not entirely solid one. It's probably the closest a non-grid map can get to good controls on a mobile, but it still kind of sucks in terms of UI.

hooah posted:Is there any reason not to hold off on the research reduction runes until you have two or three things being researched at once? It seems like using one of those runes on only one research would be a bit of a waste. "Runes?" You mean the reductions given by the alien item breakthrough? Those are applied for everything in the named class, afaik. E. Oh, did you mean the 1000 research boost? You don't actually research multiple things at once, you can only queue them. All of your research goes into the top item until it fills up, then it goes to the next one.

The command and conquer game is actually...not bad? There is a decent amount of movement and countering that goes on in the maps. The greatest sin I'm seeing right now is making hard counter units a random drop out of crates.

Its an older game so this is probably old news but I bought Bloons TD6 on android the other day and I've been completely lost in the sauce of popping balloons. It's a deceptively deep game and works perfectly for mobile play, especially if you have a stylus. The biggest issue I have is that I'll play on fast forward which means when something goes badly I don't react in time with abilities and I end up getting slammed with 50 camo balloons that didn't get caught into the decloak trap.

The 30 turn limit makes for more of a puzzle game than typical 4x games would play, and you have to pick where you go for the tech tree. Overall it's pretty neat, good recommendation all.

I wasn't entirely sure how the metagame would play out but I mean it was pretty clearly a slot machine game. I'm playing it and I'm trying to figure out strategies for higher levels, there's a lot of items that sync together but it seems like you *should* be focusing down on a couple paths after you fill the board so there aren't empty spaces, but I'm not sure how often that really works out. "Adjacency" is weird in this game too. It seems like the edges of the board count for adjacency so if you have an item on the top it can be adjacent with one on the bottom.

Lone Goat posted:I haven't played the mobile version but on the desktop version this is not true. Are you sure you didn't have an item that makes more things adjacent? Protractor, Telescope, some others too. It might have been something weird but I see it most with things like the Light bulb which triggers on stuff that it's nowhere near. Idk. The game is interesting because it's almost like a Slay The Spire-style deck builder. I started blowing up low coin items and skipping turns a lot more in my last run and I've cleared both of the first two levels handily. A small pool of high value cards is critical. It's also why things like King Midas can, per his namesake, get away from you by overflowing your board with gold, although if you have the 3 gold coin item it works out.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Dicey Dungeons didn't really click with me on Switch, but wow is it incredible on mobile. Tbh I find this is true with most roguelikes. When I sit down to play a game on a console or PC I want to play a game through, and having frequent restarts takes me out of it. But with mobile, where you inherently are playing for short periods with frequent interruptions, it works far better. I've liked Slay the Spire a lot more on mobile and there is no way I'd actually sit down and play Luck Be A Landlord on PC.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Realistic compromise: Steam deck Same though, I have one and it's not something that's as easy to pick up and set down as my phone, especially seeing that the thing is *loving gigantic* Hand Row posted:I hope something comes along to evolve the game because while I see a lot of synergies, I don’t feel like the floors have enough payments for me to go for a lot of them. Maybe that’s what Endless is for or is that what Essences help do? I am on like floor 5 right now and it’s getting very samey. It's helpful if you stack +luck items to get more rares in order to get builders like Ms. Fruit and Geologist earlier, and to get better items. But ultimately a lot of it comes down to, yknow, luck and a lot of times you have to build a supply of consumables that often doesn't pay off because you don't roll what you need. Curses and cultists are especially vulnerable to this because you need some things to make them do more than break even a lot of times.

If you want to clear a level in LBAL then mining really seems the way to go, since the Amethyst + Dame combo is unbeatable, but once you unlock essences the game really does open up. I beat my last level with just omlettes by thousands of gold.

I tried it and it's fun although like Peggle there's a lot of "Jesus take the wheel" when it comes to balls. It's all about what balls you take and the item build more than any real semblance of skill, so it's a turn based RPG roguelike more than anything else. I just wish it was more clear how far enemies could move in one turn.

Yeah I gave Roundguard a try too and I like Peglin more. Its more random but at the same time when you get lucky and line something up that results in your ball going all over and racking up massive hits it's a great feeling whereas in Roundguard it often just leaves you mostly dead.

Jack Trades posted:I'm trying to find some games about building stuff but I can't find anything decent. Yeah that's my issue with it as well, along with other games in that space. I understand that by most standards the cash shop less required to play the game, and that it's more generous with free currency, but it's not fun if it's constantly shoving it in your face either. I'm totally in favor of games with "pay x dollars to turn off ads and shop stuff forever" option, but the publisher and I both know that they make a lot more money by stringing the cash shop on a hook through the entire playtime than if it was a one time purchase.

New Leaf posted:What the gently caress is this goose game? Is there any reason to continue playing a level beyond meeting the other goose head? I left a level overnight and gained millions but of course it doesn't carry over. It's an idle game like Cookie Clicker or whatever, where you frequently reset in order to get bonuses to the next round. So you build to the top, reset, and then the next round has you gaining money 1.2x faster but you need to build higher with some extra environmental conditions like low gravity or wind. Once you get to the top you're supposed to just reset to zero and start over. It's kind of a strange genre when you write it out like that but the resets make it so that you can do new designs over and over rather than having to 100% optimize one set.

How playable is Plants Vs Zombies 2 without buying stuff in the cash shop? Is it "it'll make it faster to upgrade" or "some levels are next to impossible unless you get your wallet out"? It looks like it's a loot box system which is annoying.

Super Snail looks like a fun little thing but I do have to remind mobile game makers that the ideal startup time for your game is less than ten seconds. Going through layers of server pings and logins every time you pick up your phone isn't going to be good for retention.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Just bought Luck be a Landlord, am I just picking the symbol that will likely get me the most money every spin? At the start you want whatever you can get to fill the board, with preference towards things that disappear after several turns or things that can synergize with later picks. Milk (sync with cats) and bubbles are good, ores can be mined by the commonly found miner, things like that. Later on after you have filled every slot on your board you want to start skipping if nothing good comes up on a spin. The slot machine fills from all the possible options every spin, so if you minimize the trash you have on hand then you will keep your good symbols on the board more often. Good overall strategy is to pick one or two things that work together and going with them. Gemstones are the most reliable, fruits/foods are probably second best, the cultists/demonic symbols should probably be something you go for once you get a better handle on the game.

I'm sure it's been brought up before, but if anyone is looking for a very solid mobile game then Card Survival: Tropical Island is an incredible game. It's fairly expensive since it's a similar price to the PC version, but since it is card based it is a perfect match for Android. It's a survival sim thread darling and a very deep simulation if you're willing to put in the effort to learn it. It just pushed the combat update to mobile, and it fleshes our hunting some.

Looks like the new wave of Monster Hunter Now beta invites is going out, I got mine today. It's not bad but it's funny that it's being made by Niantic. I'm surprised they have time to work on this new game when they are so diligently neglecting Pokémon Go. It's not bad, the fights with the monsters are basically an upgraded version of raids from PoGo which is neat. There's also some QOL stuff like your Palico marking monsters and collecting items as you walk without needing a second peripheral like with pogo. The amount of in-your-face gem begging is a little annoying though. I'll have to see how it shakes out. There's no way it will be anywhere near as popular as pogo but hey its something new.

Morpheus posted:The worst so far is the monetization. I've been playing for a month now, beaten the story (you go into NG+ mode where you fight tougher versions of the monsters) and haven't received a single premium currency beyond the 500 you start with. Paintballs cost 180 each, which is a little more than a dollar. Absurd. Hopefully this changes after the full release. Yeah I truly do not understand the point of paintballs. At first I thought it was for passengers in cars or trains to tag monsters so that they can be fought later but the speed limit on MHG is way more strict than PoGo and nothing even attempts to spawn if you are in a vehicle. I guess it's to save monsters to fight later with friends? It is fun but the usual Niantic server issues plague it. I'd write it off as a beta issue if PoGo wasn't the exact same way, and it's really not something I can just flip open and check for a few seconds. Not that it matters because at work there's nothing that really spawns around me. It does seem to be a lot more demanding in terms of walking which is cool. You also don't have to clear out your items every 30 seconds like with PoGo which is nice. Feels more RPG like. I'm not sure how much I'll play it for the beta since it's all just going to reset anyways but it's a neat little thing. Ultimately the MH brand isn't as strong in the US, so I'm not sure how much play it'll get, but we'll see. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Sep 13, 2023 |

Rapner posted:The thing I am shocked by is how shallow all of Niantic's games are. There is SO much you could do with AR and map based games and it is all just find x, click it, and do paper toss or fruit ninja. In many ways you are describing Ingress and have you ever spoken to someone who actually played Ingress? And that was just drawing triangles. Complexity leads to server load and confused players. PoGo was great because it was a very simple game capitalizing on a beloved brand. You could do something like you describe but it won't capture the "52 year old mom" or "12 year old boy" demographic that kept PoGo running. Hell, they put out a whole game based off Harry Potter with the same kind of idea and I'm pretty sure it's dead now.

Set up some triangles, farmed some energy, said "well this isn't something I'm dedicating my life to" and then punched out. I mean the whole game is personified by that one group that flew to iceland or something like that just to set up a bigass triangle. Pretty impressive! Utterly insane.

Len posted:I don't think we're in MHN beta anymore I think it's just the full release Oh, I guess you're right, looking at Google. ...which makes the very debug looking loading bars at launch kind of weird. gwrtheyrn posted:So what you're saying is it's representing the monster hunter experience well Yeah grinding the poo poo out of rare parts to get upgrades is basically MH to a T. I'd say the onboarding for the game is pretty smooth, although I'm already itching to get something other than the sword and shield. The worst part thus far is definitely the monetization, which if this is launch is absurd. Items are way too expensive, and even the gem packs don't give that much. A little under 2000 gems/~15 bucks for a 10 paintballs is absurd. I guess when you equate them to raid passes it isn't egregious but it's still crazy. And the whole "use this item to expand your access range" premium item after Niantic was just in hot water for reverting the ring size in PoGo is pretty cynical. But at the same time you don't actually need to buy anything, so it's a wash. Other than that, yeah, it's monster hunter. I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with the series are going to be confused by it, especially when it comes to breaking parts and such, but if you have played MH at all then it's an easy sell.
