Rune Raiders - (by Retro64) - Universal App

Well, cool that the crash bug was fixed (unfortunately didn't find out the crash was 100% until I tried survival again last night before updating - wasted another 30 minutes ). Unfortunately, I then discovered after updating and doing survival again that the money you earn doesn't go toward your total. At this point I'm running low in the campaign (though almost finished), so was hoping to earn more in survival. I'm sure I can still finish, but was just disappointed to learn the money in survival is simply used as a score. To be honest though, I can understand why - you can earn a ton of money in survival - would make the campaign way too easy. Hmm, maybe if you only earn a fraction of the campaign amount...

You can go back and redo a level of campaign if you're low on cash. I think survival money is good as only a score because I would be rolling in money if I got it from survival :P

Ah, that's true - I could go back and redo previous levels. Forgot about that.

Yes, please reset the leader board regardless of whether or not you change the scoring. You know why I think you need to do this.


As for earning gold, and 3-starring levels -- I replayed one level in both normal and hard, simply because I felt I could do better. At no time was I ever hurting for gold, nor did I ever have to restrict the makeup of my team due to gold.

I've 3-starred all the normal levels -- the only really hard one IMO was the final level. I'll eventually 3-star the hard ones, but I'll have to end my infinite survival challenge first (dangit... looks like Rune Raiders crashed or got kicked out of active memory; looks like it didn't save the game in progress?)

I was curious on what lineup everyone uses in this game.

healer, ninja(always need the ninja), centaur, archer and sometimes the tree


i try only to take ranged to support the ninja

[Edmilan]

Same here, the ninja is a must have. Others in my team are the healer, waitress, wizard, archer and either the bear or the alladin guy

[DaviddesJ]

I don't understand how the Ninja is supposed to work. Is his power just useless? When I move him, the turn counter doesn't go up, but the enemies still get to react, so what's the advantage?

Ninja, tree, waitress (the forks girl), centaur, dryad (throwing the leaves), and the swordsman if I can afford it. Otherwise, the heroine.

@David, you put the ninja behind (or next to) the enemies. He's the only one that can cross the red line, and his damage is really good - he nearly always takes out an enemy in one shot, and he gets two shots per turn.

Speaking of shots, I don't understand the "shots" stat in the hero descriptions - it doesn't seem to match what happens in game. For example, the ninja's says 1, but he gets 2 hits.

I understand all of that, what I don't understand is the power that says the turn doesn't advance when you reposition the Ninja, but when you do the (surviving) enemies still get to fire. So what good is the power?
