It looks good Bethor Well-Known Member Oct 11, 2015 145 0 16 #4 Bethor, Jun 10, 2016 I just started playing. Its an interesting game where you send your knight, wizard etc on missions to get crafting components to make gear for them to tackle harder enemy's. You have limited space so you will need to craft then sell items to make sure you have free space. Everything is on a timer (combat, crafting and selling items you crafted) so you will need to wait in between all three. The only thing I don't like (maybe I missed this somewhere) I can't tell what items I need to make better armor and weapons so it's hard to figure out what I can sell to free space. That aside so far the game is a fun. Repulsa Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 1,582 79 48 #5 Repulsa, Jun 10, 2016 What are the IAP ? Bethor Well-Known Member Oct 11, 2015 145 0 16 #6 Bethor, Jun 10, 2016 16 spaces for .99 cents and then a speed and exp potion for 2.99. There is also a way to watch an add but it hasn't worked for me yet. It's kept my interest so I did buy the 16 spaces for .99 cents and that helped quite a bit for resource management but it's not necessary. dwincelowicz Well-Known Member Sep 29, 2015 90 0 0 Security Sarasota, FL #7 dwincelowicz, Jun 10, 2016 Last edited: Jun 10, 2016 I don't see where in-game you can purchase any IAP.. Would definitely say this is pretty fun, despite there not being any combat animation. But it's still a neat idea. Edit: I think the IAP unlocks after you get a 2nd hero, as I just unlocked the Rogue for gathering and my Warrior for tackling the higher-end stuff. This isn't SUPER DEEP but the crafting is pretty good. Edit 2: Yeah, this is kind of deeper than I thought. There is a chance for rare enemies to appear on your campaign map when selecting a target for your heroes. There's also a chance for you to create an enchanted item when crafting. It's pretty great so far, especially for f2p. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,566 896 113 #8 ste86uk, Jun 10, 2016 I agree not being able to see what you can craft unless you have the items or gold sucks it's just randomly questing to see if you can build anything and it's stupid. It should show a list of everything you've unlocked to craft and just sort them in level order but with the items your missing reagents for being red to show they are locked and being at the bottom of the list. Then at least you can click them see what you need and work to get it. TheSuperLobster Member Jun 10, 2016 5 0 0 #9 TheSuperLobster, Jun 10, 2016 Loving the balance between sending out the heroes, crafting the items needed for harder quests, but also selling items to keep the money flowing. Just hired my second hero. My level 9 Knight goes out on the harder quests while my level 3 Mage picks away at the lower enemies for basic herbs for potions, iron, cloth, and wood. tylerthedesigner Member Jun 10, 2016 7 0 0 #10 tylerthedesigner, Jun 10, 2016 Response from Devs Heya folks, Merchant dev here.

I haven't been able to put it down. tylerthedesigner Member Jun 10, 2016 7 0 0 #13 tylerthedesigner, Jun 11, 2016 If you tap on the Crafter's icon on the left you can see all the recipes you have already unlocked. We're sorry that the tutorial bit doesn't seem to be triggering on that, will be fixed in next update. Bohampscious Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2012 99 0 0 #14 Bohampscious, Jun 11, 2016 I got a push notification that a reward token was available but I don't see anything like that when I open the game. Does that mean I have something sold in the store? tylerthedesigner Member Jun 10, 2016 7 0 0 #15 tylerthedesigner, Jun 11, 2016 It means that you get a free play of the mini games on the top left $ in the main menu. Solarclipse Well-Known Member Jul 30, 2012 879 64 28 #16 Solarclipse, Jun 11, 2016 I'm really surprised how much I'm enjoying this! Making money is a little arduous but I've only got two heroes. Looking forward to getting that thief...the heroes get skills at level 10, I'm guessing more after.the next 10, as well as.more maps opening up to them. Wondering what the end game is... Bohampscious Well-Known Member Aug 27, 2012 99 0 0 #17 Bohampscious, Jun 12, 2016 Don't see any mini-games in $ menu. Just see 3 IAP options and a watch vid for cash button (which does nothing). aconfusedkender Well-Known Member Sep 28, 2012 1,362 122 63 Oil & Gas Kendermore, Ansalon #18 aconfusedkender, Jun 12, 2016 Alright you money grubbers got my attention. I'll download it now. I love a good time bandit FrehleyzComet Well-Known Member Apr 25, 2013 89 0 0 Foreman Pennsylvania #19 FrehleyzComet, Jun 12, 2016 Ditto, ad watch for free doesn't work for me either. I tried to report the bug from ingame, but that doesn't work either. D'oh! Saying that, I'm enjoying the game a lot. Pretty good stuff so far. Even bought the extra 16 inventory slots. Solarclipse Well-Known Member Jul 30, 2012 879 64 28 #20 Solarclipse, Jun 12, 2016 Is the speed and exp boost.temporary or permanent? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
