From what little info we have right now I can see the following will be new in this one: -New Dungeons -New Monsters -New Magic -New Weapons -3 save slots
Were there even any updates to the first one that added more levels? If so, I didn't notice them.. I know devs need money too, but why not any worthwhile free updates? :\
Seems they have an overworld map. That's one thing I'm glad they considered as the game is very fun. I think the battles should be harder and if they can add experience points in the way of levellingbup your character by going through various dungeons before challenging the big boss, could turn this game intothw final fantasy of poker rpg's
Haha, my thoughts exactly. Not sure if I will buy this game or not. Despite enjoying the first game, by the end I got pretty bored with it. I hope they add some new features.
From the looks of it, all they're doing is adding levels, new enemies, and a new level changing system.... I was hoping for online play but w/e
I hope they add some challenge into this game. I got bored of the 1st one quickly, Way too easy for my taste.
although i will most probably buy...i dont feel at all its a new game its should have been dlc...not a separate game.... when you add need levels or monsters...its not a new game..its an update...should be dlc at whatever price and should have added online multiplayer....the playing on the same iphone screen is a stupid thaught...at least bluetooth... again it should have been dlc....or any added levels in any game would have been a new game...why then they invented the dlc !!
for all I know, their could probably be more in japan that wasn't released on the app store. I was mostly talking in context to, them having the poker RPG market locked up with a good brand name game and indie developers who imitate their product won't fare well. If they keep making more improvements, they're bound to maybe go port their games to XBLA and PSN if they haven't already. I see great potential in this franchise to go places.
