Probably my favourite PC adventure game of all time. Tied with Monkey Island 1.

Neither out internationally. Pfft
so excited. hope this one doesn't require you have to have a pen and paper with you like device 6.

As far as I know, this is more an experience than a game...so I'm not sure you will have to 'solve' things instead of just exploring and 'connect the dots' in your mind...
But I'm not sure, with Simogo you will never know.
Anyway, I'm beyond excited.
I wouldn't mind if it did. I like working out puzzles. Real sense of accomplishment. Looking forward to this though!
oh don't get me wrong, loved device 6. problem was that i kinda expected it to be a in bed before sleep kind of game which it clearly wasn't lol.
Hell yes

A new Simogo! Outstanding!
I actually loved that aspect and am hoping for more of the same. I played Device 6 prior to Year Walk, and as a result probably took a lot more notes than I needed to for Year Walk, but it was a wonderful experience. I occasionally look back on those pages of my notebook and wish I could experience the games for the first time again.

Nope, it doesn't. Actually, it's a perfect 'bed before sleep' kind of experience.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
What is this?

After completely clearing out Metal Slug Defense I'm feeling the need for a new side-scrolling tower defense game. Does anyone have any suggestions besides Castle Doombad and Army of Darkness defense?
That question can sum up many Simogo games, and as with most of them you can't really explain them without playing them.
New content in Faraway Kingdom, they're going to be adding new heroes (and loot) EVERY WEEK from now on to catch up with the other international version.
Also been playing Monster Strike. With this and Terra Battle, I don't know how people are still playing Puzzle & Dragons. So much more fun. And coop in Monster Strike is sooooo fun when coordinating on Line with GAF.

Started to play Retry.
It's a... what?! a Rovio game that's not Angry Birds?!

As Tunesmith already perfectly said...it's the next Simogo game.
You can't really explain it better
Also...it's the ideal conclusion of an imaginary trilogy started with Year Walk and continued with Device 6.
Personally I can't wait.
Which international version? It's not out in the UK (and I presume EU).
I said international because I couldn't remember which version came out first. I think it was the Korean version that's been out for two years or something like that already but I am not 100% sure.
It's only out in US and Korea afaik.

The sailors dream just jumped up to my most anticipated game this year! Hype!
Oh man, I've had this installed on my PC forever but I never got to finish it. I'm definitely buying this for iPad

Thanks for posting that. I'm looking forward to this game a lot. Hoping Hand Circus's return to iOS would be strong.
We'll see how it turns out after the soft launch.

Man, Ghost Blade's "translation" is so bad it's funny. But damn, other than that, I'm really impressed. A challenging fast-paced hack n slash that's playable with one finger but is somehow also deep and doesn't play like shit
Yep, I honestly think it's one of the best action games on iOS. Particularly in the Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry vein.
80 days sounds interesting, but I disliked A Dark Room and I bailed on Device 9 when I got stuck on the very first puzzle.
Totally agree! This feels like a Terry Cavanagh designed dodging game mixed with a slick f2p. It'll be interesting to see how bad the difficulty ramp gets, however, and I can't help but think that some of the lack of telegraphing is to encourage more checkpoints.
It's a great game, don't get me wrong, I just hate how it prevents me from indulging in it.
I think you'll be pleased with it if you're remotely a fan of the type of game

If you're a fan of twitch games, Wave Wave got a huge 2.0 update. Rebuilt the game with new visuals and gameplay

My Air 2 got here today AND they announced they are making a KoDP sequel. This was a good day.
Edit - Man, the difference in games on this Air 2 is slick compared to my Air. KOTOR runs at like twice the frame rate, often at 60 FPS.

It recently hit Japan as "Pocket Kingdom."
There are no real puzzles in 80 Days. Getting around the world in 80 days or less is the puzzle. Deciding which mode of transit to go to where is the puzzle.80 days sounds interesting, but I disliked A Dark Room and I bailed on Device 9 when I got stuck on the very first puzzle.
I've played at least 20 times and I've only gotten stuck once in West Africa when I refused to travel with slavers and I didn't have the money to take the non-slavers' airship, I couldn't beg for any more money. I had to manually reset, driving Fogg's health and funds to 0 will not end the game.
Seriously it's nary impossible to fail in this game.

this pisses me off so much. I didn't even get to play Ghost Trick that much despite purchasing it.

To be fair, Apple broke so much with iOS 8, and it's been a real pain for developers all over.
iOS 8 should not have been released in the state that it is currently in. It's obviously not a finished and tested product.
Could you go into more detail as to what is wrong?
Can't wait for The Sailor's Dream, by the way.
If you're part of Simogo, which I seem to remember.

Third time trying to get into Out There and idk, the game just doesn't click with me. Visually, artistically, and atmospherically, the game is wondeful. But I find the actual gameplay so tedious. It's so mechanical, I never feel any tension
Compared to Capsule on PC, another kind of minimal space exploration game where you're lost on and need to watch your fuel, oxygen, and hull. It's very stripped back visually, but it's also one of the most tense, atmospheric experiences I've ever played.

Your labored gasping breaths as your oxygen depletes. The scrambled radio signals fading in and out across the expanse (of space? the ocean depths?). The muted rumbling when you collide with debris. Your engine sputtering as your fuel drops to 0

Has been A Few Days Left removed from the AppStore? I wanted that but... too late as I cant find it... oh well...
Also, Swap Heroes got a silver award from PocketGamer so that is a must buy for me.

Excitement went from top to bottom as soon as I read it was card based.
You aren't alone. After all the rave reviews, I got it and also had trouble getting into it. I can see where people like it but I also found it kind of boring and lacking much in the way of suspense.
Oh well, not every game is for everyone. And management sims never were my favorite genre so that probably didn't help.
