Mage Gauntlet - (by Rocketcat Games)

[Ayjona]

I was reminded of Mage Gauntlet today when listening to a nice interview with the creator of Mage Gauntlet, courtesy of Slide To Play. In addition to just generating lots of interest in the company, and in the interviewee (he quoted many great inspirations for their games, and had a perspective on MMOs that I share), it also made me consider purchasing the game.

One of the most interesting points he mentioned was that Mage Gauntlet was built to make combat more interesting that just taking a stationary position, mashing the attack button, and chugging health potions. Do you fellas find this to hold true? I have a strong penchant for combat systems that require and reward player skill and twitch-related abilities (reflexes, precision). Always figured Mage Gauntlet's combat to be much like most KRPGs, but if it has greater emphasis on skill and twitch combat, I'm definitively purchasing it, and will be (even more) excited for their upcoming free RPG

On another note (since I've the feeling I'll soon push that purchase button ): Rocketcat devs, I noticed you added iTunes access to save files for cross-device continuity. Any chances of true iCloud support (in my case, more for permanent cloud saves of files than for playing across different devices), both for this and the upcoming RPG?

Buy it. It's the best iOS game of all time in my opinion. Stop considering, start mashing buy button.

Hello everyone !

I'm here to support this amazing game, that I bought and almost finished a few weeks ago (missing 4-5 hats ^^). Cheers to the developpers, who apparently post regularly here !

I'm also here cause I had an issue with my iPhone yesterday, and lost my game save in the process :/ (since the app got uninstalled/reinstalled from the iPhone). I know I could have done a backup save of the game through itunes before, just in case, but since I didn't plan on reseting my iphone, well... I didn't !

So here's my question : is there any way to get my save back, or is it possible to download someone else's save and put it into my game through iTunes ?

Thanks in advance !

Hey, sorry I haven't checked out this thread for awhile. Been really busy, and haven't seen it in the sidebar to remind me.

They're in the bunker level before the tower. They're the pods/aquariums in the places you fight the faceless enemies. Midbosses are the bigger monsters that can't be stunned merely by using the charge-attack.

There's no way to get your save back if you didn't back it up, but you could get a save from someone else, sure. We didn't put in any protections on that, just because we didn't mind if someone shared their save.

Once you get past the early game, combat becomes mostly about movement and quick dodging. That and there are no health potions or mashing cooldowns, so it's not like KRPG combat.

iCloud support is surprisingly tricky. Not the basics of getting it implemented, but all the fringe case stuff that would have to be dealt with. It's especially bad for a game you've already launched, so I don't think Mage Gauntlet will ever get true iCloud support. Will definitely look into it again for the upcoming RPG, if not iCloud then seeing if we can backup important things on our own servers.

Crystal Staff is in one of the Master Mode ruins levels, behind a door that is opened in a secret spot in the level.

Most midbosses: Off the top of my head, I want to probably one of the final Tower levels in Master Mode. The big purple drudges are midbosses, and I think one of the tower levels has a bunch of them early on. I also remember a room, maybe even in the same level, that had a ton of those blue Goat Slimes, which also count.

Try hitting both types, the cast+pouncers and pure pouncers? Try hitting them when they themselves have casted or just hasted? I can't quite remember the details, heh. Maybe someone else can reply and confirm it.

Kepa thanks for all replies.I managed to kill those midbosses,got Crystall Staff and still trying to kill those guys at Undergarten but with no sucess.I tried doing it for last 15 min and it is making me crazy but hopefully I will get it.
