And oh my what a surprise of a gem! Been playing it all day. I felt compelled to leave an app store review, which I shall reproduce here: The good news about the screenshots is that the impressions they give are validated and surpassed by the actual gameplay. Surprisingly simple game with deep RPG elements. Combat, tavern and gold loot results are determined by spinning the slot machines, with pleasantly varied results. Combat can result in damage, xp or gold, for example. Proof of classic RPG thrill in this game came when I found myself beaten to a pulp by the first boss I encountered. And the high of magic items when I finally beat it. Magic loot and level-up perks are randomly generated but you get a choice - Dungeon Raid style. In fact, I almost want to say this fine little game gives me the Dungeon Raid vibe and that is such a relief from the numerous RPGs on the app store that promise a lot but fail to deliver.The app store needs more casual one-handed RPGs like this. Graphics in Tower of Fortune are charmingly retro - if the opening screen with the hero silhouetted against the dark tower, the scene pelted by rain and flashes of lightning does not send chills of excitement down your spine, I doubt you are a true RPG fan! Still some room for improvement - more screen tips and some status indicators (eg. When hero is stunned) would help. With some further development, Tower of Fortune would be well on its way to becoming an instant iOS classic. Addenda: I'm still at the second level (Gate) of the tower so I haven't actually played that far, I suppose. But regarding IAP, so far I've not seen any compelling reason to buy gold. If you just keep playing, gold will accumulate. I hit the jackpot a few times and got 900 gold each time, which is quite a cause for celebration. Most of the time post-encounter gold is in the 10 - 100 range. I've used gold mainly to buy potions (they're insurance against death) and bombs, and saving up for more inventory slots. Oh and visiting the tavern has rarely been so NOT a chore! Equipment seems to come mainly from boss drops. Anyway my point is that IAP really doesn't seem necessary and does not bother gameplay or progress. I would not avoid this game for that. It's been a blast so far. jjjmedia Well-Known Member May 27, 2009 1,332 0 36 Los Angeles, CA #8 jjjmedia, Apr 30, 2012 Too bad this doesn't seem to have an epic soundtrack. I guess I'll have to just play the Sword and Sworcery one in the background oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #9 oooooomonkey, Apr 30, 2012 So after seeing this thread I bought this and have to say it pretty fun so far. The graphics are very cool looking retro style and so far the game is a great simple to play game. Well worth a shot for 69p oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #10 oooooomonkey, Apr 30, 2012 Well I'm back after having time to play for an hour or so more and I'm really enjoying this, the more I play the better it looks, at first it just looked like a slot machine type game with rpg elements attached on but after playing some more its really cool to keep grinding the lower level enemies for xp to level up and it has some kind of random perk thing kind of like dungeon raid has. Well anyway anyone who has a slight interest in this should really pick it up, I've been thinking about it since release and after picking it up earlier today I would have been just as happy getting it at full price. There's a lot more to this than it first seems. Rin Active Member May 1, 2012 30 17 8 https://www.facebook.com/TowerofFortune/ #11 Rin, May 1, 2012 Next update will add more BGM in the App, hop you will like it Actually the final level has BGM, but you need to reach it, LOL. oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #12 oooooomonkey, May 3, 2012 Anyone else playing this much? I've been playing quite a bit and it gets really addictive. Grinding monsters to level up and killing bosses to get new items and equipment. I'm really loving the animations there's something cool about the retro look its got going on. Here's my stats anyway. BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #13 BazookaTime, May 3, 2012 Yep, I am still playing and am amazed at he little attention this game got. Really great game. J.R. Jalapeno Well-Known Member Oct 6, 2008 663 0 16 #14 J.R. Jalapeno, May 3, 2012 Just picked it up yesterday and it's a really great little game. Highly addictive. It needs to get more attention. Bloko Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2012 418 0 0 #15 Bloko, May 3, 2012 Quick question: do the camp backgrounds change anything that matters? oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #16 oooooomonkey, May 3, 2012 I don't think so. As far as I can see its just visual. The one cool camp upgrade I bought is the magic cat thing for 5000 as after you buy it it pretty much free cash. Tyra Well-Known Member Feb 3, 2011 274 0 0 Illustration & Graphic Designs Germany http://www.knitterkunst.de #17 Tyra, May 4, 2012 Great little Gem! I really like that game. kennfusion Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Dec 2, 2008 393 0 0 Brooklyn, New York #18 kennfusion, May 4, 2012 I am glad you guys kept talking about this game, as I had missed it totally until I saw this thread yesterday. Been playing it a bunch since last night. Fun little game. retr0spective Well-Known Member May 24, 2011 915 17 18 Riverside, CA #19 retr0spective, May 6, 2012 Greetings, I agree with everyone's comments - this game is amazing! It is also slowly taking over my life. I have a quick question about the IAP for those who have purchased it. Do these provide a one-time sum added to your gold pieces, or do they alter the value of the items on the slots so that the gold coin, for example, will now pay out 1000g each time the reel lands on it? Thanks for your feedback and thanks to the developers for making such a great game. slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,768 41 48 Male Retired! Houston, TX #20 slewis7, May 6, 2012 This got a nice mention in the new TA podcast. Developer, are there any plans to make this Universal? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
