MinuteDungeon Trip Report: Imagine MinuteQuest, but now instead if just holding a direction you constantly have to tap a third button to switch the plane you're moving on Fatal Fury style, plus there are trap spaces you have to avoid by moving back and forth until they fade and you can pass safely. Oh, and you can only have four weapons and four armor on you at any one time-- and you can have/get duplicates. I really can't see putting too much more time into it.

 I've been playing Tower Slash for the past couple days and it's a pretty fun rhythm-esque game where you swipe in arrow directions to kills badguys as you ascend a tower. There are rotating yellow arrows that don't stop until you're close enough to swipe and red arrows you need to swipe in the opposite direction. Occasionally bosses show up with little Simon Says memory sequences. I'v e been having a ball and managed to hit 12th on the overall high score table.

cyberia posted:What games (besides Alphabear and this DBZ thing) are people enjoying at the moment? I've been playing this thing which really doesn't need an internet connection. If you are, the ads are pretty atrocious. I recommend liberal use of the back key since the devs forgot and you can just back out of any ad with no consequence. Enough about that! Infinite Stairs gameplay is pretty easy to understand. You've got two controls, one to climb and to turn around. Turning around also climbs, though, and basically the whole thing is just learning the timing on stairs patterns. Theres a lot of characters, pets and stages to unlock, and lots of different ways to unlock the characters. Overall, if I could throw a couple of bucks to remove ads or double the coin values I don't think I'd have any complaints about the game. It's sort of the same type of feeling when I get playing Crossy Road or Tower Slash, except I don't have to deal with swipes which can register wrongly or require more room than I have.  My high score is actually 326 now, but this is the screenshot have available.

Haven't been in the thread in a while, but I saw MinuteQuest got an actually good sequel in MinuteFrontier. It lost the cool ability combo system, but there's a lot of good changes, including weapons having different mechanics, weapon levelling, job abilities stacking. The pet system is simpler and dungeons don't really exist anymore either, which is kind of weak. Also there doesn't appear to be the fast travel caves? I'm not sure because I'm only closing on on 10.0k atm.

I've tried out the others at least once, but it just seems that so far like they're more effort for not that gteat of a return.

wall monitor posted:Minutefrontier: I'm not quite sure I get what's going on. I get new abilities by leveling up each class, and those are listed in the job menu, but I'm also randomly getting weapon levelups whether I'm using them or not, and it looks like my abilities level up too? Natural Recovery is at 3, but Staff Motion is at 1/5... is that one out of five found, or one-fifth level? Weapon levels go up based on drops, if you look each monster drops a specific weapon. And each job can have different elements on the weapons, like the Wizard getting a water element sword. Finally, 1/5 is you have 1 level out of a max of 5, some abilifies have no cap however and those tend to go up every level of the job that grants it, so like Monk's ability to givr you life every screen or the Vampire's ability to give you life every kill. Usually you see this ability granted at level 1 initially on the job submenu, from the pause screen.

Lara Croft Go is pretty fun, but the puzzling is pretty simple until the final set of stages with the crystal monsters. Not as braindead as Monument Valley, but still rather easy. The last set of stages also sort of play around with expected puzzling logic too, which was fun. (as in like, looking at the elements and figuring out the order to do things based on placement/adding stuff in that isn't necessarily used in the solution) I also like that when replying stages to get any missed treasures you can just exit out after tapping the pots instead of needing to complete the stage again.

Dely Apple posted:I see Star Wars Uprising is finally moving along the sector battle it needs to continue the story. Story as it is. I bet they make the players do more sector battles as a punishment for having installed this game in the first place! I started playing this after seeing TFA and it's been filling my need for both Star Wars and dress up. The sector battle stuff has been kind of annoying, maybe it's my low level (hit 19 last night), but some variety in enemy types would make it less painful. At least I've been able to level up a bunch of gear.

Here's something pretty great I found: Tottoko Dungeon It's sort of a puzzle game with light RPG elements. The main character barrels ahead through each map and you have to equip skills and use them to guide the character through. Getting to the exit isn't the challenge, though, it's managing to get all the treasure chests on each map. And most maps you'll need to play more than once with different skill loadouts to collect everything. Once the map is exited the first time, you then can look at a preview of the whole thing before entering so you can plan your route. It's really helpful! There are two types of IAP in this otherwise free game, buying gold (which upgrades equipment) and No-Ads, which is just under $2. I'm on the last map of the third dungeon (out of six, according to the achievements) and unless there is a huge spike later, there hasn't been a need to spend any of the 20k+ gold I've gotten in game. For reference the first couple upgrades on a piece of gear costs around 100-250.

I was looking through my old posts for that list of suggested games to see if I included whether data connections were needed or not and this caught my eye.Potsticker posted:<snip> Recently my roommate mentioned Granblue Fantasy as an aside and since I really knew nothing about it I thought I'd give it a try. Fair warning, it's all in Japanese, though an english-language option may be coming next month. It's basically PAD without the puzzling and more of a focus on using your character abilities to beat monsters in a JRPG fashion. It's not quite as stylish as Dokkan, but there's still a lot of cool stuff to see and hear. Like PAD, there's that annoying rerolling for a good gatcha character to start, but it does have paid options where you can choose which drop you want specifically. Apparently there's some changes being made too with more transparency on gatcha drop percentages? It also has a lot of slots to fill, with five characters in a party (3 main, plus 2 backup whenever anyone faints), ten weapon pool (only the first one determines your player character's element and its type is restricted by job) and five summon slots. (with the first giving a leader skill like PAD) You also pick a friend/rando each quest and get their summon and it's skill to use too, like PAD. Unlike PAD you set up separately which summon you offer, and you can set a summon for every element type, plus an extra free type! It's a little intimidating to a new player. As a new player you do get a 10 roll for free, which guarantees an SR, (the second highest rarety, which goes SSR > SR > R > N) but doesn't guarantee that it'll be a character. In addition to the characters you set, you also have a player avatar which can job change, getting different skills as they level. Usually each job has 3 skills specific to it, plus an extra EX slot which can have (most) any skill from another job set into it. And even after fully levelling a job, your XP isn't wasted, but instead goes into a pool to build points to further improve your character! Again, it's fairly deep for a PAD clone. The one big downside to starting out is that it's hard to build a party of characters, since weapons, characters (who come with a weapon, so they're a bit of a twofer), and summons all come out of the same gatcha and while you can farm weapons and summons in various other ways, guaranteeing getting new characters isn't quite so easy for someone spending zero real money. Following the story quests does give a small pool of characters and you earn gatcha currency by completing quests and achievements, but like PAD you really want to wait for special events to spend those. Finally, there are a variety of multiplayer co-op quests and bosses, where up to 30 people (limit of 4 for co-op quests) are actively fighting the same monster or group of monsters. Active meaning buffs, debuffs and effects matter for everyone at the same time, not just participating in a solo instance that happens to affect a shared boss lifebar. From a game design perspective there's a lot of interesting stuff going on. Individual characters can have interesting mechanics like an abiltiy that switches stances so the other abilties have different mechanics. There's some jobs that have abilities that change based on what type of weapon is equipped as the main weapon. There's a lot of design space here and unlike PAD there isn't a vestigal puzzling mechanic that sort of fell by the wayside. I really liked PAD's puzzling, but a lot of high level play mostly ignored it outside of some highly specific team comps. On the other hand it is a Mobage with a gatcha and anime artwork. Also the current event is an Idolm@ster collab.

For an actual non-data plan needing suggestion, I highly recommend Veritas LCD which is a smart little adventure game I finally beat completely recently. Despite looking like an old LCD game, (LSI? I'm not sure what's the best term, but think Tiger Electronics over DMDs like Tamagotchi have) there's a lot of depth to the mechanics and the screen design is really amazing. It's not a super great on-the-go game due to maybe needing to make a little map or take notes depending on your memory, but that shouldn't matter on a flight or when relaxing at home.

Shinino Kage posted:Also, how do you guys (if you do) download apps from the Japanese store? Do you guys create an account and use a VPN, or do you download from elsewhere? There's a couple of ways to do it, but the easiest is just googling a website that will download apks for you from the play store, region and device free. Then you just put the apk on your phone, either directly through a cable, SD card, or throwing it up on Dropbox or whatever and installing it from there. Most everything will run on any device, and I can't think of any games off hand that actually cares about where your phone is located geographically or where the IP is routed through once it's on your device. With something like Granblue Fantasy, there's even just a chrome app you can run on your computer and play it like that, if you want. And there's no region or location settings you need for that, either. Of course, you still need an apk for your phone or tablet, but it's another way to check it out if someone is interested in seeing what it's like, or if the language barrier might be too much. It's usually just the big companies that region block their games currently, as recently it seems that a lot of the smaller and more indie stuff I follow has been accessible in the US region.

The Start Dash comes around once a month until you buy it, so it's not like you have to get it right away, but then the pool of characters you get to pick from with the ticket is determined by what the gatcha pool was when you started.

Monument Valley is a good looking game, and a good timewaster, but it's kind of a bad puzzle game. It's kind of like an old adventure game, except instead of figuring out which item combination you need or guessing the verb to type in Monument Valley you just need to figure out which part of the stage you need to interact with. It's rather straightforward that way, even into the expansion. I do still recommend it as it is beautiful and some of the stages unfold in really novel and entertaining ways.
