Square Enix’s fresh-faced hit The New York Times called “one of the best role playing games ever designed for anything” has busted onto iOS in a big way, with a slick and addictive new combat system, eye-popping HD art, and (of course) plenty of zetta awesome reasons for longtime fans to double dip. Arm yourself with psychic superpowers and battle your way through a 7-day gauntlet of action: the Reaper’s Game. THE SETUP ------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Shibuya, a mishmash of attitudes and styles in the heart of Tokyo. A boy named Neku wakes up in a crowded intersection, alone and unaware of how he got there. Then, he receives a weird text: “Clear this mission...or face erasure.” With that, Neku is thrust into a life-or-death Game that sends him scrambling down streets paved with one riddle after another... What is the Reaper’s Game? Why is Neku a Player, and what is he playing for? Will the Game really end if he survives all 7 days? Another mystery is always around the corner. THE PAYOFF ------------------------------------------------- - Intuitive, addictive combat with a twist Activate your combat abilities, or “psychs,” with simple touch commands like tapping, slashing, and dragging. Comfy with that? Control Neku and his Game partner on the same screen and take the combat up a notch. Like loot? Boost your item drops in battle with the revamped Fusion system. - Deep replay value Finish the main story to unlock a hilarious bonus chapter, more quests and items to find, new combat challenges, and secret reports that flesh out the story even more. - Explore a living, breathing city Neku’s sprawling world is based on the real-life Shibuya in Tokyo. Visit real locations and absorb some real Japanese culture through a hip fantasy lens. - Redrawn art and Retina display support Enjoy the game in full HD on your Retina-enabled iPhone 4 or later device. Art and animation across the game has been redrawn just for this release, making combat a beautiful experience. This is how all 2D classics should look. - The ultimate soundtrack: 60 songs Composer Takeharu Ishimoto’s complete, sonically sublime soundtrack is included right in the game with high-quality audio and full vocals, including remixes and new songs.

I know it sucks that it's not universal for those of you with iPads, but this has been high on my list of must-get titles ever since I finally upgraded to a device I could play it on. I keep telling myself to stop spending with my growing backlog, but don't think I can resist on this sale.

Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #10 Exact-Psience, Aug 5, 2013 I have both sd and hd versions of this at full price and i never regretted buying them. As mentioned, this is a steal at half the price. Infinity89 Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2013 2,170 0 36 #11 Infinity89, Aug 5, 2013 Well I don't mind buying it but its not optimized for iPhone 5.

Will buy once I get home from work. An awesome deal at this price, for anyone still on the fence. Infinity89 Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2013 2,170 0 36 #16 Infinity89, Aug 5, 2013 Is there even a slightest chance that they would update it for iPhone 5. Because square enix haven't updated a single game so far. If so I will buy it and keep for my watch list to play later. Don't wanna miss this chance. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #17 nightc1, Aug 5, 2013 This deal is very tempting. I have the DS version already so I could just save the $$ for other games and deals. But then again I never play my DS anymore. Decisions decisions. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #18 Greyskull, Aug 5, 2013 Depends on your storage space, IMO. I don't have a DS and have wanted this for a while. But I doubt I'll be able to install it anytime soon. Still, I can't avoid every large file. Do you have the space to install it, no probs? Because it probably won't drop further in price any time soon. It's been on my watch list; this is only the second time it has been on sale. If you aren't a collector, you could probably recoup the purchase price by selling your DS cart. Endscrypt Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 309 0 0 #19 Endscrypt, Aug 5, 2013 Wow this had made my day! I have a pretty heavy back log of games like most these days, but I must feed my addiction, Bought! oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #20 oooooomonkey, Aug 5, 2013 About the space thing, this thing is huge 2.4 gig installed Worth it though as its an awesome game.

Rofl seriously.... I literally just bought a DS yesterday and this is the second game I bought for 25 bucks.
Well damn. I know it sucks that it's not universal for those of you with iPads, but this has been high on my list of must-get titles ever since I finally upgraded to a device I could play it on. I keep telling myself to stop spending with my growing backlog, but don't think I can resist on this sale.

Given the starting price and immense amount of effort that went into this game, I doubt it'll ever be lower than half price. Bought.
Woah I was literally looking at this yesterday and the day before thinking should I pick it up as I've already played it on ds, at this price "bought"
