Try setting your iOS to English, then start the game and choose your desired ingame language. Then close the app and set your preferred iOS language again.
Dear Fishlabs First I want to say that Galaxy on fire 2 is such an amazing addicting game that I contiune to play even after beating the story however i wanted to ask a question about future updates. In a future update will there be an option to use the ipod touch or iphone as a controller and use the ipad as the screen after universal support is updated in the game? Thanks
LOL... Isn't easier (and cheaper) to buy a PC and Freelancer? Don't get me wrong, but the image of someone wiring up 1100 pounds worth of hardware to play a game is kinda funny...lol Don't take it personal.. There are other games with this feature?
I've been waiting to get an iTunes gift card to get this game, but after reading some of this thread, I'm not sure it's for me. Overall, it seems like people are in it more for the trading/collecting and not the combat due to the weak controls. I'm not really into the whole trading/collecting thing...partly due to having to play games in short time periods. I'm more about the action. What is a better alternative as far as space combat is concerned?
The controls are only weak if you have a weak ship. If you have a ship with good handling and guns, the controls are great, and the combat is very exciting. Sounds like you'd rather play something like Star Battalion. But be warned, that game may have the action, but it isn't nearly as original or as deep as Galaxy on Fire 2.
knowing gameloft they might not even upgrade the game to work with the ipad but rather come out with an HD version you have to buy again.
which is why i won't buy up front, unlike this game. i have an ipod touch in addition to the ipad, but honestly, after tasting ipad gaming, i never want to go back to the ipod. the ipad makes the ipod feel like trying to do finger touch gaming on a nintendo ds screen.
Thanks. I bought the Mantis but didn't care for it visually, so I "downgraded" to the Aegir. Beautiful indeed. I have plenty of cash so if I need to move back up to the Mantis I will.
Star Battalion would be good for you, but I should note that it doesn't seem to include mid-level saving which might be a hindrance to you if you prefer playing in short bursts. There are checkpoints but if you quit the App and come back you have to replay the entire mission, at least that's what happened to me. They range from 10-15 minutes each. I also like playing in short bursts, which actually makes Galaxy of Fire 2 better for me than Star Battalion, since you can finish missions in just a few minutes and are plenty of save opportunities.
It is such a shame that GoF 2 does not feature Star Battalion-worthy combat (or any kind of sophisticated, more complex, more intricate and challenging combat, preferably more so than Star Battalion as well), since that seems to be just about the ONLY recurring complaint. Oh, I enjoy GoF 2's battles, but they are rarely the least bit challenging, even on hard, and I constantly wish for something closer to [your choice of space simulation], with far more in-depth and sophisticated combat mechanics. Well, it does say something for this game that it is still among the best iOS titles I've ever played. To respond to your original query , it is possible (albeit unlikely) that StarPagga might be something for you. A rather unpolished title, and some peculiarities with the flight model, but the combat mechanics are at least a tad more advanced. Other than that, and the woefully inadequate Star Battalion (very short game, and silly auto-targeting that lessens my enjoyment of the otherwise splendid combat mechanics), I don't know of any other even remotely competent space shooters for iOS.
Thanks for all the responses. I've played StarPegga as well as the original GoF, and have to say that enjoyed GoF more even though there wasn't much of a story. That said, I didn't find either one of them to be "great" space shooters and had hoped that GoF 2 would have improved on this aspect and was originally really looking forward to it. However, I haven't really gotten into some of the other collecting/trading/mining games on the iOS so it concerned me to be reading that that seemed to be where much of the focus went to on GoF 2. I still might get it, but am on the fence with it and Star Battalion. Wish there were more options or hidden gems that I wasn't aware of.
Just buy both games. It's less than 20 bucks for both of them. Be glad you don't have to buy 60 dollar games for the iPhone. I used to have a hangup about buying apps and games that was more than 99 cents but would buy 2-3 new ps3 games which rang up more than 100 bucks. Now if the game is worth it on iTunes I am just going to buy it.
