I was wondering what was going on with Hexage, only 1 game updated in the past 6 months and no releases for nearly a year and a half. Well, they are finally getting ready to launch a new game. The website is here: http://www.hexage.net/reaper/index.html Trailer: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
That video looks great. As they say in Star Wars, 'this could be the side platformer I'm looking for, move along, move along'
Definitely buying this if it's a premium game. I'm kinda wary of the control scheme though. It seems you are supposed to use the 2 arrows on the left corner. Last time I tried that on my iPad I soon gave up. Optional D-pad, hopefully?
Sounds like it should be pretty soon. From their Twitter: According to some random dude commenting on an article on DroidGamers:
Watched the awesome trailer, and it strongly reminded me of Legend of Zelda 2 which was a sidescrolling platformer in its combat system. Question: Is the combat area arena-type? The explorations seems to be map-based, like in the video, but has random encounters as you travel across the map similar to how Final Fantasy Tactics has random encounters when moving from point to point.
For any Android users, the game is out on Google Play. Downloading now - although it'll probably be a while before I get a chance to check it out (damn work). Also, for those wondering, and I assume these will be the same on iOS, here are the unlock options (first 10 levels are free): $2.99 Full Game $3.99 Full Game Torken Arena Fortune Teller Destiny Item Set $4.99 Full Game Torken Arena Fortune Teller Destiny Item Set Dark Item Set Dark Side Quest Dark Harvest Mode As mentioned, I haven't played yet so I have no idea about the extras for each IAP unlock. Maybe Hexage can give us more info.
Not sure at this point. I got a few minutes to play so thought I'd give some initial impressions. As for EP's question, the combat is sort of arena based. It's contained in a sidescrolling area for each quest, but they do seem to get bigger so they may turn into what may feel more like a "level" rather than an arena. The map acts a bit like it does in Warhammer Quest in that you select a destination and click "travel" to go there. But you'll hit NPCs along the way in which you have a tree based conversation and end up with a task/quest or another area to travel to. Controls work well but take a bit of getting used to. The left side of the screen is for movement and the left side is for gestures (jumping, uppercuts, stomping, mid-air spins, etc.). If I had one complaint so far, it's that if you do multiple swipes/gestures it'll keep swinging or whatever and you can't move while that's going on. So if you're swiping away and an enemy comes behind you and starts attacking there's nothing you can do to turn around if you are still completing the last swipes. It may just be something that you have to get used to (ie., not just swiping away). Game has a lot of polish and definately has potential. Will play some more later.
Well, honestly, I'm not entirely sure if I'm sold on the game yet. And unfortunately, the only way to really know about the IAPs is to buy the $2.99 unlock and play through the whole game to see what may or may not be obtainable. At this point, if I get an action RPG this week, I'm leaning towards Heroes of Loot. I'll be anxious to hear more on this though. Hopefully Hexage can come back and answer questions on each of the IAP unlocks.
Forgot the game was free to try, thought you had bought it. Yeah, definitely the right choice to go with the proven dev, especially with the IAP situation here
Surprised to not see this in the NZ releases. As I said, probably going to get my fix through Heroes of Loot, but would love to hear more for Hexage about the different unlock packs.
