Just picked this up because it looks cool and I admire a single developer producing something like this.

Working through the tutorials now. One comment though - can the game please not play sound when I have the mute switch on?

Cheers

I have a few questions for the developer:
1.Will there be an update in the future which allows us to play with all the characters?
2.Some info inserted in the app, like on the site, which offers information about the characters?

Otherwise, great game

I almost picked this up .... looks quite good.

The only thing that made me pause was the seeming lack of single player content.
It seems what is there may be rather thin.(?)

MP is totally secondary for me; but it seems that for this game it takes center stage, yes?

Really like the 'Yes, God?' character animations when selected...nice touch.

The old school PnP gamer in me can't resist this, but I just wish the was more of a single player component to it. The multiplayer looks great but I honestly don't foresee a lot of my time spent with it as this seems the type of game to play with friends rather than randoms.

Otherwise I have to admit, having spent quit a bit this week already on apps and this one coming relatively out of the blue, I will take the plunge. I hope Ron (that was his name, right? The developer?) considers more of a "session" style of missions to an overall "campaign" just to flesh out the single portion a bit more. Then again I guess that is the point of the custom game option. In any case this is a nice surprise for my new iPad 3, and looks to be one that I will put through the paces attempting to recapture those earlier years when I could still tabletop game!

Questions:

1. Any single player campaign?

2. Is the MP co-op against AI?

What a shame, was looking forward to this. But an IOS TBS game without async multiplayer? Insta-pass. Not sure I understand the logic behind this design choice, but $3 for a game lacking what Hero Academy has and Outwitters will have just doesn't make sense for a player that loves multiplayer strategy games on the IOS.

Totally disagree!
I'm bored of all those latest async games were you haye to
wait for hours/days to confirm an opponents step or move

Even if you don't have the time to play a 30 min session in one block
keep in mind that others don't want to play 1 game over 1 week.

Therefore:
Instabuy for me because of NO-async but real time multiplayer
like in this or Ascension/Nightfall with short timer.


Awesome game btw!!!

I think its a really good game!

Played some more and absolutely LOVE this game. It's superb. Asynch multi player? I really couldn't care less. This is a fun single player game and for me (and many others) that's all that matters.

GREAT work!

Jamie.

I mean...wow....the game has barely been live in the App Store for a few hours and already there is a dedicated forum discussion happening on Touch Arcade. What an awesome community you have here- thank you for inviting me!

Thanks for showing up here! This is by far the Mecca of ios game discussion...glancing at your game for 2 min I SMASHED the buy button....hearing that it was a 6 year alone process even confirmed my 3 bucks to your profit....nice work...

so does the game have a driven storyline campaign because the way ppl are describing it, it seems not...but the screenshots say different. I also like asynch gameplay because it brings out the essence of mobile/phone gameplay ...simply stated....its our phone or tablet...not a couch platform...BUT the game looks so good to me I was willing to forget it and play soley on 1 player campaign and occasional multiplayer battles on wifi.....in any case please keep us informed of your updates and thanks for visiting us so fast!
