This past November Netmarble opened up pre-registration for a new PvP game set in the Star Wars universe, and following a fairly brief soft-launch period that game, Star Wars: Force Arena (Free), is now available in the App Store. In the game you’ll control a main hero from either the Rebellion or the Imperial side, and then develop and use a deck of cards that will spawn your troops. The action plays out on a MOBA-style battlefield, but the actual mechanics are much closer to something like Clash Royale. It definitely seems to find that sweet spot of quick and accessible action that suits mobile so well.
Alongside its worldwide launch a new update has also been released for Star Wars: Force Arena which features new characters from Rogue One, a new Guild system, and the ability to team up with friends in 2v2 online matches. If you want to find out what people had been saying about Star Wars: Force Arena while it was in soft-launch, you can check out those impressions right here. Since the game is now out worldwide, a new discussion thread has been opened here, so feel free to peruse that one as well and of course leave your own comments if you end up checking the game out. It’s free, it’s Star Wars, and it’s gotten a lot of positive reactions during it soft-launch so there’s really no reason not to check it out.
Darn! I was expecting this in Turkey!
It's just business and most companies would do the same if they knew, like apple, it wouldn't really affect sales. The real disappointing part for me is that even it the GBP/USD rate shoots back up to 2.00, they wouldn't reduce the price again.
They would. They've done it before for other countries.
Bollocks. I knew this would happen as soon as 52% of British voters decided to vote like idiots (which in fairness happens pretty much every election).
I guess the best I can hope for now is that Trump screws up the US economy so much that the rate gets more favourable for us.
That's more of a guarantee than a hope.
Amen brother. Amen.
Don't like how the population votes and slander them eh? How about you step up and join politics and do something about it then?
If people do stupid things I'll point it out. I'm not apologising for that.
In your opinion only.
And your point is?
Pretty much every expert agreed that this would happen, but somehow Farage and Gove convinced people to ignore the experts (I.E. the people who know what they're talking about).
Haha oh you mean all those selected 'experts' the majority of which have been apologising for basically lying about what financially would happen after brexit, people like the boss of the Bank Of England. You were obviously sucked right in by Cameron and a Osborne and aren't capabale of thinking for yourself.
You're funny
Your clueless.
You're clueless if you think I ever believe a word David Cameron or George Osborne says - and if you think "you're" is spelled "your".
Well said dancj!
It's not so much the people who voted, it's the people who thought 'Stay' was a done deal and didn't bother to vote. I was in the UK on holiday at the time (I'm an expat living in Australia). What with the rise of Trump, etc, we have interesting times ahead. A lesson for all in complacency. Now back to Dream Quest (how did I miss this?). :)
And of course the people who thought "stay" was a done deal so voted "exit" as a protest votes.
people are very silly.
I always wondered why us Brits like to call ourselves "Expats" when moving abroad, yet label everyone else who comes to our country doing the same an "Immigrant". Odd that.
Yes, much subtle reinforcement remains of the old ideas of empire and illusions of superiority. I find people complain to me of immigrants here not realising I am one of them. "Oh, the OTHER immigrants you mean?".
I think that's not something "to hope for"because the average American will suffer the consequences.
Being that I live in the U.S. that's a pretty f'ing crappy thing to say just so you can pay less for games. Before I say anything rude, I'll end it at that.
Well it serves the people right who voted to leave without any knowledge of the effect. Hell my friends hotel company has just closed down partially due to brexit, so i think it will be a rude awakening for the people voted leave because they thought "immigrants" were to blame for everything. Personally i will still pay the price for a good game so it really doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Most of the time the good games are underpriced anyway on ios, thats my two cents.
Is there any economical reason for this - or is it just Apple being money-grabbing dicks?
If costs of making a game go up, then raise the price of your game to the next bracket - so instead of a 99p game, do a £1.99 bracket.
So it can't be the devs complaining, surely?
I suppose they could claim it on the "loss-leader" situations where bigger companies can afford to undercut indie devs and out-sell, therefore forcing small devs to keep to the lower bracket. This raise would therefore give a little extra to the dev without them physically raising the price themselves.
But I doubt that's the case!
Currency conversion rates change along with different economical and political climates. Brexit, etc, caused a major shift. This is Apple's reaction to that.
But Apple won't adjust back once the pound regains. What do you call that?
Why do you think they won't? I've seen Apple adjust the yen back and forth with the currency exchange, no differently from Sony, Nintendo, and MS did with the Canadian dollar during its ups and downs. They'll probably do it slowly, mind you, which is free cash for them, but they were also slow to react to the pound falling off a cliff, too. Should it recover, I'm quite sure you'll see prices swing back after six months of stability or so.
It's just price gouging with Brexit used as an excuse. Nothing more and typical Apple.
International
Currency
Conversion
So not the brexit then....
Whilst I'm not defending Apple here, to say the sterling drop hasn't been mainly caused by the Brexit voting outcome would be a very silly and misguided thing to do in my humble opinion. It quite clearly is the biggest reason for the (severe) drop.
With respect Eli it's still bollocks though, since the prices in the US have never changed whatever happened domestically. Will have to see what damage Trump does to the global economy, unfortunately.
Still, it has convinced me to press buy on The Binding of Isaac, so I'm not that bitter. I'm seeing this as a bonus sale, before the prices shoot up.
Will have to upgrade my iPad Air 2 to iOS 10 if I want to play it on that though 🤔...still clinging onto my GC app on iOS 9.3.5
Apple is a US company so the value of the dollar is the standard that they adjust their other global pricing in line with.
I get that, but I wonder how US folks would react to an increase. Many apps are not created in the US and devs can't increase their incremental unit revenues there. In fact prices are actually falling each year in the US, just considering price inflation.
I work in the UK for a US based global multinational. Pricing, thankfully is not my call.
Thanks for the heads up though guys.
Really prices here are increasing all the time because inflation sucks, it's just not immediately apparent to anyone not paying attention.
Opportunism not brexit.
If so, it's not Apple, it's the entire global currency exchange.
If the pound is worth less, then sellers make less when buyers pay using that currency.
But it makes international trade easier in the interim as our goods are better value. It will settle, but you can believe Apple et al will not readjust pricing back to £0.79 again once everything has settled and the pound regains. Opportunism based on FUD. Nothing more.
No its defo brexit, says in the article and lets face we knew things like this would happen, even though most who voted leave are now regretting their vote?
Some are, others are doubling down and telling everyone to stop saying it could or is already bad and it'll be great, just see!
Got to love some of these comments how we are idiots for voting leave.
You probably aren't old enough anyway and we probably ruined your life
When in actual fact what was predicted after brexit, non of that happened, sure the price went up, but the country didn't go to shit, no recession are economy is better than ever more businesses are setting up in the U.K.
Give it time, it's much too early to see the real effects yet.
I'm 44. Not sure how old is "old enough".
The pound has plummeted. We're going to lose various rights that being EU citizens gained us. We'll lose medical cover when we go abroad. Our business will have to go through loads of expensive red tape to sell things abroad. This will only be bad.
Oh and the place where I work has made a bunch of people redundant as a direct result of Brexit.
Company I work for business has got better, many countries want to trade with us straight away. The best thing we ever done was leave the shitty eu now they are desperate to keep it alive
Another knee jerk reaction and convenient excuse. No company has needed to do that because of brexit. I work for a European company and it is just business as usual with fluctuating currency.
There are pros and cons of both decisions. Neither decision needed to lead to job loss.
This is a gaming forum but what planet are you on!? Lmao things are better?? Businesses are being set up here as a result lol ignorance really must be bliss, so please give me whatever your taking haha
What they said would happen after brexit was not going to happen straight away! But it will! On the bright side we will recover but it will take time, the real effects from this vote by a majority of mindless ignorant sheep is yet to come to fruition. Sadly i have already seen the effects and i really thought it was them being hyperbole, but the damage its already causing is a reality. Oh also wait tell it has a knock on effect on the nhs, because thats where it will really ordinary people like you and me the worst.
I guess 52% of the voters are mindless sheep to you ? The NHS is already fucked and has been for years now. I might be wrong but I'm sure they said we will be in a recession right away. No company has left the U.K. Since the exit, the economy has grown more than it was predicted.
At the risk of sounding like there is no evidence and that everything is actually hunky dory since it was a vote to leave.....its pointless going into this more then we have already as were on a gaming forum lol but i will say no matter what happens we will eventually get stronger...its just that were going to have to go through a painfully slow healing process, but in the mean time we can play some awesome games!
What damage is already being caused because we voted leave? Apart from the £ dropping in value
We haven't even left yet and the pound has already dropped massively in value and house purchases have plummeted (which was what cause redundancies at my work). The worse stuff will happen when we actually do leave.
Does anyone know if the play store is doing the same?
