    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=77373

    and here's the trailer...





    **edit**

    the developer did post in the main thread, but that was about a year ago, hasn't posted since, however, the game was updated October 21st of this year... even though it was released in December of last year... LOOOOOOOONG time for that update...

    The game offers online but expect nothing but disconnects. No asynchronous play either which makes it worse because you will never make it through a game.

    A real shame, because the game is a LOT of fun.

    I wouldn't want to play this in asynch anyway. WAY too much card interaction on a given turn to make that anything but an exercise in frustration while you wait a week for someone to respond to someone else's attack or when you play cards that EVERYBODY has to respond to.

    No thanks.

    True but I think the biggest issue here is making sure they simply get online fixed, as it stands I've never been able to complete a game anyway.

    Bang! and Bang! [HD] are on sale for 99¢ each again. Great fun for solo play.

    Downloading the HD version as the iPhone version looked horrid in 2x on my iPad...

    The HD version is also superior in that it allows for 8-player games, whereas the standard version is limited to 5.

    Ddn't know that the HD version had eight players. This changes the game, and I would have downloaded it earlier if I had known.

    Not at the moment, but Bang! already has the Dodge City expansion added in (plus a promo card character), and that's the only real "necessary" one. High Noon is the only other expansion that would really be worth adding, but that focuses on a single new game mechanic rather than notably expanding the existing gameplay.

    The only real request I'd make is for the developers to add in all of the missing characters (of which there are many, from both the base game and the Dodge City expansion).

    I wouldn't buy this game because it has a lot of problems and it hasn't been updated in the past year, so it's probably been abandoned.

    Wrong: the game doesn't crash or have any issue with translation or rule errors, and it has achievements and leaderboards, a solid AI and multiplayer that works just fine.

    What exactly constitutes this "lot of problems"?

    Wrong: it was updated less than a year ago.

    I do wish people would stop using this term as if it were supposed to mean something, especially in situations where it clearly doesn't apply - this isn't the first half of a work-in-progress or the first episode of a never-to-be-finished series.

    If a game doesn't need to be updated, it doesn't need to be updated; it doesn't suddenly stop working or become unplayable because it doesn't have a vague "Bugs fixed" update every month. Some of the most solid, fun, bug-free games available in the app store were last updated back in 2010, and they still wouldn't qualify as "abandoned" just because the developer hasn't posted an entirely unnecessary update in the last six months.

    Yes, I think Bang! is just fine. Of course we would like some more expansions or characters add ons but it's not broken and it doesn't have problems.

    Maybe the user that claimed that, would have an old ios version.. I don't know..

    Don't exaggerate. Bang! had six price changes in December 2012 alone. An abandoned game won't show price changes.
