You have to command them every turn BEFORE you act with the Barbarian, acting with Mr Conan ends the turn. Your companions don't use up your turns. You don't spend turns for picking up stuff or searching through something. Just attacking / moving uses turns. Just click on a companion and order him to move somewhere or attack. I'd attack with the ranged guy/s first, then charge with the Dwarf and LAST with the Barbarian and attack. After that, it's bad guys turn. Greyskull: don't worry, with a tiny little bit of tought, I had 60% turns left after first quest and over 50% adter second quest. It looks like it is giving you more than enough turns, but the fewer you use, maybe the score at level end is higher? It could be but I haven't looked at it closely yet.
So very proud of myself, I was fully aware there were two versions of this and still without thinking I clicked the link above and hit buy. Just bought the HD version based on a quick go with the small device version, rather liking it, seems much more substantial than mighty dungeons at this point in time, good polish to it.
True! It's hard to keep track of all these games, though - Warhammer Quest from Rodeo Games, Space Hulk here, and the D&D game from PlayDek... It's looking like a great year Thanks for the explanation, that's great - and smart! I'll try it our later on then. ...now I feel the mighty pressure of having made undeadcow purchase a game Hope my comments from my brief experience with it haven't misled you - let us know how you find the game! As for the saving in the middle of the dungeons, or auto-saving, can anyone comment on it? Have you guys quit the game halfway through a dungeon and tried to go back? Just wondering - I feel that an auto-save of sorts should be in place, and it might just be that it is a problem in the Android version. If I find myself playing this a bit more I might just buy it on the iPad again later on. Cheers!
Anyone else having a problem getting the app to load? For me, it just stays on the loading screen for several seconds, then it crashes. I'm using an iPod 4G all up to date.
Wow this looks very cool. I was a bit underwhelmed by Mighty Dungeons, but this looks like it might involve a bit more thought. Is the phone version easy enough to see everything or are details really small? Like how is text readability on the small screen?
So, these don't effect gameplay all that much, do they? I'm a bit worried about replayability here as I read something like "7 adventures". That means 7 fixed dungeons and that's it? Or are they randomly generated allowing multiple playthroughs without just learning the structures?
I'd imagine these are fixed dungeons - or 7 adventures, each one with a set of dungeons. I believe the enemies will show up in the same place for the time being. So far they are not randomly generated. @Artfoundry: I'm playing in my phone, though not an iPhone. It's not really small - you just have the screen more zoomed in here. Maybe someone with the iPhone version can actually confirm whether that's how it works there.
Look a lot like Mighty Dungeons :/ Hope it's a lot deeper than Mighty Dungeons. I quit playing MD the first day because there's no game there. Are there any real tactics or strategies in this?
Wow with so many positive comments, I am reversing my opinion. Downloading... Dark Quest HD (iPad version) Download size: 77MB Installed size: 126MB As somebody else asked, it does not seem to auto save on multi tasking to another app. Upon return, even though uoon clicking "play game" and "continue" Dark Quest HD just dumps me back at the beginning of the current quest. This also happens if I click the pause icon and then the home icon and try to "play game" and "continue"... EDIT: Playing on in the first mission, now it seems like the auto save works properly. Does it only work in certain parts of the dungeon? Does the door opening sound effect sound like the door is moaning to anybody else?
I'd like to add this game is very similar to Rune Raiders, another board strategy, but less linear maybe, so if you liked the Raiders, then you'll love Dark-quest.
This game is incredible. I actually enjoy Mighty Dungeons for the old school feel, but this game is much better. It is far more strategic and just captures that old school dungeon crawler/board game feel in a much more polished and fun way. Buy this game.
Guys, you've convinced me to download the game... I was a bit concerned because it looks like mighty dungeons a lot (which I got bored quickly). How does it look in the Ipad?
