Even though I spend this entire video mispronouncing the name of this game, I assure you, it didn’t stop me from enjoying it. I love how game books are getting so advanced on iOS, it’s crazy to think we’re only a few years off of super basic dice rolling game books, and here we are with a game book that has full 3D battles. If you want to see the cool part, skip to the end of the video.
Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf is scheduled for a US release tonight at 11:00 PM Eastern. Our forums are filled with first impressions of the game, so swing by and check that out if you’re looking for more than this video.
International App Store Link: Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf, $4.99
Head and shoulders above Dragon Island and would highly recommend it if you like this type of game.
If I had one complaint, though, it would be the rank system. While in battle, there is no way of viewing what rank monsters you've previously captured. Also, gold eggs haven't proven very beneficial in acquiring the higher rank monsters.
I solved the problem of not being able to remember what grade monsters I had by writing down what I have already in Evernote. I organized the note by "Arkadions in Use" (the ones I battle with) and "Arkadions Not in Use", writing down their name with the little letter grade in parenthesis next to it. It could take you a bit to do this, depending on how many you have, but it's worth it to be able to reference while you play. I play this game on my iPad and open the note on my iPhone. Once you have the initial list(s) finished, adding to it as you play is a breeze. :)
You know that really sounds like a job for...a piece of paper :P
Should we really need to be using paper when such an easy mechanic could have been implemented int the game?
I prefer Evernote. I'd just lose a piece of paper.
I'm working on creating a printable checklist with Grades included.
Is this game any good? I won't lie the art, graphics and presentation are top-notch but I'm concerned with how repetitive the game will get and will it be a bire-fest, I didn't like Pokemon but I fell in live with Pokemon Emerald for the GBA.
Bore* daaaamn you touchscreen! I am truly hurt.
"Is this game any good?"
Hmm. Seems like I just saw a full review of it somewhere...
Sold. On the app icon alone.
I liked the dragon island blue graphics art better, it was simple and smooth running, best of all it was a lot of fun, hunter island has upgraded graphics but is buggy and crashes also it is more complicated.
I liked the first one, so I will definitely try this one - thanks for the review! Excited to see how much better this one looks!
Great game but online pvp is pointless. There are gold and max evolve hacks out already and these cheaters already have the best arks in the game fully evolved. Pvp makes all arks the same level but not the same evolve level so it doesn't help one bit. They'll still take down anything that isn't a dragon 3 at the same time.
I agree and reiterate that PVP is pointless due to the exploits available through hacks.
Someone on the Hunter Island forums (I believe it was a moderator) said there's an update coming out that will address this issue.
It's also sort of ironic because they're using these gold and evolve cheats to get best arks in game, bullying people on pvp to get diamonds so they can buy special arks which are actually worse. At that point they've already cheated their way through the entire game so there's really no point in playing it anymore except to be a douche in pvp.
It's a great game, miles better than Dragon Island Blue.
PvP is being updated soon.
Go get it.
Again, IAP is the worst thing happened in the history of video games. A perfect game ruined by IAP.
It's not even IAP it's how much these @&$$&& Want, if pay 10+ dollars i better have everything not one thing that kind useful.
