Heroes Call (by Defiant Development) [Universal]

If you get killed in a level and use the retry option I find you get the same creatures and loot in the exact same places but if you go all the way out to the select quest screen then the mix of creatures and loot changes. You'll still have to kill the litch but...
Also don't pick up health orbs unless you absolutely need them. Run for your life when necessary. Kite the creatures. Nothing more fun than a mob of goblins chasing you around one of the large temple maps.
If all that doesn't help then, yea, you'll have to grind for the better gear at the store.

The way I beat the lich was by •••Spoiler:  whittling away its health bit by bit. I'd go in and attack until it started using its life drain. Once my health got down half way, I'd run away and regen. Then rinse and repeat till it died. I also used the dash skill to dodge its missile attacks.

I have around level 9 equipment with as far as I can tell, good equipment abilities. I already did the whole grinding for equipment part. That's why I'm posting, with up to date equips, the dungeon is still dastardly hard.

Those tips are really good. The whole running away thing has saved me many times.

Artfoundry: Thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to remember them when I reach the lich.

Oh yea one more very wierd tip that works in more than just this game: Play using a stylus

after seeing this article at pocketgamer
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Multi...ch=heroes+call

I redownload the game, because the wait time for quest will be gone after that update

some noteable mention from pocket gamer:
"In terms of the complicated two-currency economy, Gems have been removed and everything but character purchases has been moved to a gold-based economy.

If you already had a lot of gems, you'll see those converted to Gold and, if you had enough to buy a new character, you'll get the new Shadow Assassin for free."

"Other IAPs include the ability to purchase Gold for the game to supplement the Gold you earn by progressing through Heroes Call. At present, Gold is cross-character, but there are plans to make Gold character-specific.

Alongside these changes, Defiant Entertainment has removed wait times, although item identification remains on a timer."

Hello all! Frisbee10461 here!

What is very interesting is that recently, Orc: Vengeance was released on the iPad and iPhone. I like both Heroes Call and Orc: Vengeance. Although there are several differences, there are many similarities between the two games. Whether you like Heroes Call or despise it, or whether you love or loathe Orc: Vengeance, I am super psyched that "touch-style" hack-and-slashers are this good on the iPad. When Infinity Blade: Dungeons comes out, I think that game will be good, as well.

Therein lies my point. If you like good hack-and-slash games, you'll find that there are things that good and bad for each game. However, hopefully, the good outweighs the bad. If you had up the time I spent playing both games, it comes out to around 50-60 hours, and for this I paid $2.99 for Orc: Vengeance and $1.99 for the wizard character in Heroes Call. For less than 5 bucks, I had a month of exciting game playing.

Now that there are multiple great games of this genre on the iPad, the developers can use these games as blueprints on how to improve their own games. As a result, there will be even greater improvements to these games.

Just my two cents,

Yea I really like this genre too. Only two quests away from finishing heroes. Been sort of saving them.
Haven't got orcs yet, too busy with work, but I do plan on getting it.

Have you tried a stylus? You would be surprised.

My only worry with IB-D is that the arena areas will be small. Like one iPad screen small.
But like you I'm anticipating it.
That and Baldur's Gate sometime later this year.

[frisbee10461]

Thanks for the heads-up about Baldur's Gate. I'm not sure of the price but I think it will be $10. That is a bit high for an iPad game. Hopefully, both Baldur's Gate and IB:-D will be priced reasonably.

For Heroes Call, there should be a third character (Shadow Assassin) released soon. Like you, I try to take my time with these games, as playing them too fast takes the enjoyment away from them. Just my two cents.

How did you get so much play time? Most people seem to report finishing everything in Orc: Vengeance in about five hours.

[frisbee10461]

My total time for Orc: Vengeance was about 10-15 hours. For Heroes Call it was between 30-35 hours. I didn't rush through anything. Also, I replayed certain areas to level up more quickly (I'm level 24).

5 hours for Orc: Vengeance? Wow, that is going really quickly.
