I seen that game a lot lately... is it good? A roguelike?Tempted
Man it's one of the current most entertaining games.
The two Oddworld games are also on sale now for 99c. How is Stranger's Wrath on iOS?

Yes, a puzzle roguelike that takes Triple Town's item-combining mechanic and gives a strategic movement-based twist. You need to save children in the woods, combining items to create new ones to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, etc.

I prefer games like Whale Trail, Tilt to Live, Silverfish, Worm Run, Dragon Hills or Threes anytime, anywhere
Will see a video when I get home (currently walking my dog)

Probably a top 5 game of all time for me. I own all expansions on my iPhone and play them pretty regularly.

So....45 hours later I completed another hardcore playthrough of Warhammer Quest.
Still an absolute masterpiece, loved every minute of it.
Last quests are fucking incredible.
Hands down my most played game ever, since I own a gaming decice (The Intellevision).
This was my fastest run yet, previous one was 79 hours....
My party is almost unstoppable (but the Ice Palace and the Fire Labyrinth were still pretty hard).
I finally found full armour sets for both the Marauder and the Ironbreaker.
I still find never seen loot, and I have yet to find a second time the Hammer of Sigmar, which I saw just once in my first normal playthrough.
Now I'm really torn between the Guild of Dungeoneering and the Road not Taken (which I didn't know anything about till minutes ago....looks a blend between Triple Town and Year Walk).
Any suggestion?

They're both roguelikes, but also very different. Personally I prefer Road Not Taken, because it's more complex and it's all about discovering the game's secrets and figuring out how to tackle different enemies and challenges. It's not easy, and you will fail
Dungeoneering is a lot of fun, although I felt it can be too reliant on luck, frustratingly so at times. But it's charming, looks great, will be getting big free updates, and is a unique take on the genre

You're not helping at all.
My wallet hates you
Thanks!!!
I have Road Not Taken on PS4 (it was a PS+ freebie) and it's a decent game but didn't hold my interest long. I probably need to give it another try one of these days though.
I'm enjoying Guild of Dungeoneering but agree with MB with it feeling very reliant on luck. It's full of charm though and is really unique in how it plays vs other roguelikes.
Hmmmm...we have very similar taste in games .
Did they do anything to curb the IAP push? I was enjoying the game until the grind became so painfully obvious very quickly.
Hey Matt, think I remember you being a big fan of the Rayman runner games. You should check out RedStory. Gorgeous Disney like graphics and autorunning gameplay that reminds me a lot of Rayman Jungle/Fiesta Run.
F2P with video ads between levels, but you can pay $3.99 to remove ads.
Just getting into it but impressed so far.

Worth pointing out that it's made by one of the artist behind Origin and Legend, hence the similar style.
I don't suppose this includes the xpacs does it? One of the things that always bugged me was the disjointed method of purchasing the expansions. I would love a complete ipad version in one app.

Now I remember the game... I have it as well... didnt play much to make a solid opinion.
If you like those, definitely.
Downloaded, played a few levels. The art is impressive, like Rayman, and it even has the one of the sfx from the Rayman games (when you collect the coins)... so far, except all the boosters and such things, the auto running is lovely... will be playing more

I liked it on my iPad Air, though I did prefer it once I started using a MFi controller.

Holy shit what a great release day. Bought severed, blyss, orbyss, and road not taken.

Impressions of Severed, Road Not Taken, Phoenix 2, and Orbyss would be appreciated for the August thread
Phoenix II takes the same basic concept of Phoenix I but transforms it in deep, meaningful ways. You no longer play random waves each time you start a new game, instead you play a randomly generated series of levels that changes every day. This way you'll be competing with other players on a daily basis. On top of that, they've changed the way ships work. They can all be upgraded and are unlocked either with coins that you get every day or via a daily random unlock.
Given the huge selection of ships, slick bullet-hell gameplay and fantastic-looking graphics this is a free-to-play that's fair and that I can see myself playing for a long, long time a little bit every day.
If you're a fan of shoot-em-up, bullet-hell or the first Phoenix I, you have to check it out.

Why Blyss have isometric pics on iTunes while regular ones on the trailer???
Edit: Asked the dev on Twitter... dont take it wrong, but I dont expect you guys to know this stuff
Ups... I dont know but probably a lot more than a 1$ discount

Played Severed for a bit in lunch time and it's awesome. Can't wait to try on my iPad!
Eh. Not my cup of tea.

Kind of
Strategic Defence
https://appsto.re/us/slNt3.i
Has a base-building element, and you need to collect resources with drones and such
Thanks I'll give that a try!
We do have a Layton actually though it's quite different from main Layton games.
It's also on the front page of the App Store and one of the featured games
Hah! I didn't even think to look, I just usually know what I want so I search for it.
That will definitely get them more sales (being featured) so they're probably not mad, but I'd be a little miffed if a search for my game didn't turn up any results.
Layton Brothers, right? I loved that game. Never got enough love, sadly.
As for the question, there's Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery.

Severed is great. Wrote a short addendum to the PG review about the IOS version. Plays perfectly on touch, I'd argue that like Papers Please, it might just be the definite version of the game
