DESCRIPTION: During a game, players take on the roles of investigators in an attempt to thwart the evil machinations of a sinister cult who have stolen the Necronomicon from Miskatonic Universities library, and have used it to open the gateway to another dimension. The Necronomicon Horror combines the quick, addictive pace of fantasy card games, combined with the dice-rolling strategy of table-top role-playing games. You can win achievements in the game to unlock new bonus content, and there will be support for downloadable expansions in the future. Grab your electric torches and revolvers! You’ll take on the role of unlikely investigators swept up in a battle against cosmic horrors. With the help of allies, weapons, forbidden knowledge, strategy, and a few twists-of-fate, you’ll attempt to stop the minions of Cthulhu from invading our world. The Necronomicon Horror features over 100 beautifully designed cards--created by a ‘dream team’ of talented artists who have worked for some of the biggest movie, book publishing, and game studios in the world. The Necronomicon Horror will contain the following key features: * An evolving game setting based on the pulp horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. * Hours of game play – a different game and outcome every time you play. * Outstanding artwork and production values. Play with a deck of over 100+ stunning cards. * The fast-paced, addictive game play of RPG and Collectible Card Games, play on-the-go, anywhere! * Free Bonus Content can be unlocked during the game. Expand your deck by winning new cards. The Necronomicon Horror is a solo player adventure designed to be played in quick, sanity-bending intervals. During a typical game you’ll play using an 100+ card deck, drawing various investigators, monsters, treasures, weapons, relics, pitfalls, story cards, and special ability cards, which are all scripted to interact with each other in strategic ways. Your goal is to keep your investigators alive to defeat a Monster invasion which threatens all of Arkham. Like most trading card and role-playing games, the outcome is driven by an exciting interplay of chance, skill, and strategy. Players will have the option of purchasing future booster decks to expand the game, and ‘collect’ new and rare cards by winning achievements and high scores. Lucidsphere Media Games Studio developed The Necronomicon Horror as an innovative way to experience the compulsive fun of horror role-playing and collectible card games on Apple's iOS devices.

It just has bigger, sharper and higher resolution art and backgrounds. Both Redux and Necronomicon Horror will be jointly supported with identical updates and features.

FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #7 FPE, Oct 31, 2011 Downloading. I was waiting for it for a looong time jonnycache Well-Known Member May 14, 2011 154 0 0 #8 jonnycache, Oct 31, 2011 This is great, I've been looking forward to it for ages. One criticism I have is the dice rolling is very abstract and feels much too much like the random number generator that it is. The upshot is a lot of the tension and suspense of the game is lost and it can feel a little mechanical. An excellent example of dice rolling done well on iOS is the gamebook adventure series where the short seconds as the dice settle lead to very tense moments. One other thing, can anyone tell me where can I find further details on the IAP expansion? FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #9 FPE, Oct 31, 2011 Two things. 1. Please add autorotate. 2. Is all you did just use the same card design but making them smaller to look ok on an iPad? Is that all? amazur Member Jul 1, 2011 10 0 0 #10 amazur, Oct 31, 2011 I don't want autorotate, I don't want bigger cards, IT LOOKS AWESOME ON iPAD !!! Thats most great stuff I got for 0.99 for ipad. I believe its new top10 game on ipad. Thanks very very very much! FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #11 FPE, Oct 31, 2011 I do not want bigger car, but at least some better borders to better separate them from the background. qwqwaa Member Sep 22, 2011 14 0 0 #12 qwqwaa, Oct 31, 2011 Cool. Looks Good! amazur Member Jul 1, 2011 10 0 0 #13 amazur, Oct 31, 2011 agree, very few things with polishes and the game is a "very good product", hope developers will continue with implementing more features to the game behind cards part: 3D dice rolling, 3D rpg board mini-game... game is top100 rpg already after release, so I hope developers are in good shape and will continue! sizzlakalonji Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Apr 16, 2009 5,712 1 0 Indiana, USA #14 sizzlakalonji, Oct 31, 2011 Strange. I bought this for my iPhone 4 last night. Today I'm trying to put it on my iPad 2, but it's not showing up in the app store search. Can anyone check and make sure they can see this on a search from their iPad?

Why wouldn't you at least want auto-rotate? Bigger cards would also be nice to really show off the art. The game seems a bit unstable on the iPad 2. I've rebooted my device twice and it's still a bit flakey (crashes on startup occasionally.) Cromwell Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2011 260 0 0 Selfemployed PC Service technican Cologne, Germany #18 Cromwell, Oct 31, 2011 I like this Lovecraft Horror setting, but I still would like to have a "game board" or a "map", where I can move around and do other things than just drawing cards. Maybe a mix out of the card drawing mechanism, something turned based like "Tactical Soldier"/"Hunters"/"Great litttle War Game"/"Danger Alliance" and little bit of ressources management And on top multiplayer... AND if we go a "little" bit further --> MMORPG, there are some more ideas I would like to share/contribute. But who knows... Maybe you are just working on something like this... ^^ If so, then count me in as a beta tester badmanj Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2009 1,884 24 38 Software developer Reading, England http://www.underground-collective.com #19 badmanj, Oct 31, 2011 Looks like its been pulled? Not available on the UK store as far as I can make out? Maybe they've realised just how big a deal auto rotate is to an iPad user ;-) Edit: link on first page works but search in the store does not...

Please PM me, I'll write here when the positions will be filled. Thanks again. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
