We loved the card-based dungeon crawler Card Crawl [$1.99] in our review, but some balance and RNG tweaks were still needed to tighten up the experience. Notably, this came in the form of repeatedly getting unplayable opening hands, where the dealer Hoernis would throw out something like two Souleaters and a level 7 Goblin at the start, and the only plausible option would be to restart. And restart.
Fortunately, developer Tinytouchtales dropped an update to improve Hoernis’ “deck-shuffling technique" to minimize the chances of that happening. It still can, the developer told me on Twitter, but “it’s very slim after the fixes." Also, you also won’t encounter multiple “four or more" monster cards in a row.
The update also brings changes to some of the card variants. The Lash ability has been changed to “attack up to three random dungeon cards for 3" as opposed to attacking all for 3. The card Swap now also works with Lash, Fortify and Leech.
I played a few rounds of Card Crawl since the update and noticed far better opening hands. Drop a comment below and let us know if you’ve noticed any improvements.
This is great, best weak ever :)
Does this game sync between more than device? Would like to put it on my iPhone & iPad.
I wouldn't think so. I imagine it has a large save file.
I think I remember reading that it does not have iCloud saves, so you'd have to sync the save files through iTunes actually.
I bought it... Kind of confused at this moment. Trying to sub a pitcher but it won't go back to the game. I hope they put out a video tutorial.
Anyone know is this game like Football Manager? manage club, practice, tactics, buy&sell player? if this game use real player, It would be a problem for me, I don't know anything about baseball and baseball player, but it seems fun!
Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad english.
The game used to be called iOOTP previously. In a way it's very similar to football manager. It's the handheld version of the fully featured PC version of OOTP, or Out Of The Park Baseball.
Yes the game allows you to manage, sign and develop a career as a baseball manager.
The main differences is that baseball is limited to a single league with minor leagues. Think a single football league with a reserves squad or youth squads. You won't be doing transfers, but rather trades, and you will conduct drafts and free agency. There are plenty of rules governing contracts and player status, looking at MLB service time and other stuff.
Overall though, if you're interested in baseball and love management games dive right in and start learning about the sport and enjoying the game.
This is the baseball equivalent of Football Manager Handheld. I absolutely love FM and FMH, and play both. MLB Manager is utilizing real teams and players, but there is a pretty stream-lined option I think. I played through a season using the one-pitch option, and would be able to go through games fast. I didn't trade any players and only sub players for different games, and subbed pitchers mid game.
I believe the previous version, (iOOTP 2014) is now free, if you want to try it out.
Wow. Star Wars Rebels, Final Fantasy Record Keeper, and now this?! Yeah, great week for me!
This game is fun but it eats up your battery like nothing else I have seen.
That has always been an issue. I'm sure the game requires a lot of number crunching.
