And I just realized I can play even from work in the browser...not sure if it's a good thing!!!

It's definitely good, though not the safest thing in my book if you're at work, that's for sure

After some days this has become my 'to go' game whenever I have 10 minutes.
I LOVE the quick random battles versus the AI...so much variety and fun, in a short time span.
Has replaced old 'drugs' like Ascension, Nightfall and Hero Academy (completely different games obviously).

I can't even imagine what can happen if dev add async and I can bring more friends playing it (even if I'm convinced most games will be played online without interruptions async is too convenient to miss).

Tons of fun, happiness, hijinks and general player satisfaction, I imagine

I'm working on the async guys! Pretty excited with the challenge and the opportunity to make this happen. Will keep you updated on the progress

Ross, great to know!

I had been playing this on my Android phone, and yesterday I decided to play it on my desktop - the web version - and I decided that it would make a lot of sense to have it on my iPad as well, so... I double-dipped without any sort of hesitation. This game was meant to be played on an iPad!

Is it reasonable to expect that the IAPs for factions will be cross-platform, tied to our multiplayer account? Can't wait for future updates

-- and even though I've played a few solo and online matches, I'm still to beat the "Duel" Tutorial! Darn that Albirich guy :P

All IAPs are tied to your multiplayer account, not your device, so you can use them on ANY of your devices including web, iOS, and Android

oh, FYI, at the terrible risk of embarrassing you, there were a couple of 9 year old girls at Adepticon that played the tutorial and owned Albirich

Gotta say it was pretty cool to see them pick the game play up so quick. Kids these days are geniuses.

We've got to a play a match one day soon!

You, sir, are an evil evil and soul-crushing person :P Let's just hope I don't run into those 9 year old girls online, otherwise I might have to give up on Hero Mages for good

Let's indeed play a match one of these days - I saw you yesterday on the lobby, I had left my browser on while playing a single-player match for practice :P

By the way, I searched but wasn't able to find an answer. I'm assuming the Assassination is to kill the Mage, and Elimination is to kill all?

Cheers,
Paulo

Yes, and there is Mage Duel too which is pretty cool (you use only one Mage, no guardians).

Played a lot solo today and some fast (1 minutes turns) online games.

EPIC.
SIMPLY EPIC.

I must confess that if async was already I would have played MAAAAAAAANY more online games.
CAN'T WAIT.

Hot damn, I wish more devs did this!

Slight feature request:

Could we get a screen flip/rotation option for us iPhone users?

Also - the game does not respect the mute/ringer switch (meaning that having the switch off doesn't mute the game's sounds.)
