Universal Summoner Wars (Plaid Hat Games + Playdek)

Well, I was able to download Haggis through the App Store on my desktop computer. I thought that was the solution to the server problem. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Summoner Wars the same way, I got the dreaded, "This application is temporarily unavailable" message.

 

My son and I have a lot of fun with Summoner Wars on the tabletop, very much looking forward to getting this onto my iPad! Definitely going with the full bundle, Fallen Kingdom and the Shadow Elves have always worked best with my playstyle, I hope both are available at launch.

 

Ret-Talus is pleased with your allegiance and he will be available, Selundar will just watch from the Shadows for now

PS: He might be in the first DLC which will have 4 new factions.

 

Bought the everything bundle, been messing around with a few of the factions offline and so far Cave Goblins seem really cool. A few 0 cost units, awesome summoner, good abilities (at least they seem good, could be worthless for all I know). But man that tundra orc freeze ability is annoying.

Also no problems donwloading here in Aus.

 

To people playing, do you unlock anything by playing the game, like Magic 2013? It's a great incentive to get me to play single player.

 

Still can't download this. Very frustrating.

 

No, the game isn't really set up that way. The single player is just skirmish vs. the AI and factions/reinforcements are IAP.

It's also ridiculously fun and this is an incredibly solid implementation. I'm blown away.

Edit- My only complaints are the lack of undo options for non-dice rolling actions and the fact that it's a pain to switch between single player and multiplayer games. Having to jump back to the main menu sucks, but that's really nitpicking so whatever.

 

One of my friends in the US tried to download it with my account, no luck, He can download it with his account. Apple, you're doing a bang up job of releasing these games on the 4th but it's worth nothing if it's going to happen like this.

 

Oh. Kinda expected given previous Playdek games, but a bit disappointing still.

 

Magic got me to play the SP campaign no doubt, but I have put almost no time into its multiplayer given the nature of how matches are set up and the realtime gameplay, not to mention the mono decks. Playdek pedigree means robust online async gameplay that will keep you coming back even an year later.

 

Well, to be fair, Magic simply isn't the ideal game for async MP, so it's not the developers fault. Nightfall is a Playdek game and it doesn't work well for async either.

I do like Playdek games a lot though. They are very polished, with great interfaces. Though it still baffles me that there's no chat

 

One of the app i most wanted... One of the worst launch ever... All my hype is gone and now i'm tired of waiting, i don't know if i download it if never will be avaiable.

 

I disagree on Nightfall being a poor fit for async, the last update made life a lot easier and if you're used to the game and know the cards then it works out very well. I'm still waiting for the Martial Law update to jump back in, but I might just start playing again before that.

It is a terrible launch, but Playdek isn't to be blamed here in the slightest. Blame Apple.

 

Let me get this straight. The starter game only lets you play elves versus elves?
Not even one other faction to try out?

 

Blame the popularity of F2P. Personally I'd have just had the app include all the factions and price it at $7.99 but unfortunately you get less sales that way.

 

Nope. When I try to start a game every other faction except elves has got the lock on it.
