Now I don't have to play it at 2x. NoThru22 Well-Known Member Oct 22, 2010 201 0 0 Baltimore, MD http://www.theageofknights.com #5 NoThru22, Dec 16, 2010 Dammit, now I'll have to buy another TD game! My TD backlog is immense!!! Smartbomb Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 431 0 0 Artist England #6 Smartbomb, Dec 16, 2010 You had my attention with the first sentinel, I never suspected you could improve upon the second, but this really is the best one yet, and the promise of a universal binary made a no-brainer purchase even less thought dependent. I've been playing this for a while, often thinking how odd it'll be to see it with "glasses on", I can't wait, it's a very polished game. ...one thing that'd make it perfect in my book, is an extra fast forward option, you have a 2x fast forward, I'd like to see a 4x as well, this would make the endless maps more enticing as once ive built a serious defence it can take AGES for the challenge to pick up again. Great job guys, will you be adding extra maps or towers as dlc like you did with sentinel 2? cozval Well-Known Member Nov 7, 2010 183 0 0 Italy #7 cozval, Dec 16, 2010 Good. i have bought sentinel 3 and never played Bought only because it's in sale.. i will play on my ipad... this is a TD that need a larger screen Caprone Well-Known Member Mar 31, 2010 677 0 0 #8 Caprone, Dec 16, 2010 Great, great news!! Repair Drone Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2009 898 0 0 London, UK http://www.origin8.com #9 Repair Drone, Dec 17, 2010 DLC map packs are almost certainly on the way in future, plus we've been considering iPad exclusive ones with paths and terrain designed for the extra screen real estate rather than simply scaled up from the standard game.

I'm going to hold of on starting it until the update comes out. ridin8ude New Member Dec 17, 2010 2 0 0 #13 ridin8ude, Dec 17, 2010 Wow very cool! Picked this up onsale but didn't realize an iPad update was coming. My only complaint is the weapon icons get in the way of the bottom of the map sometimes and that's a minor annoyance. Otherwise it's great!
