What could be better? undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #6 undeadcow, Apr 11, 2013 Last edited: Apr 11, 2013 I highly recommend Kingturn. I've been obsessively playing it for a week now with an early release promo code and it smashes Knighturn/Sw&Ear (which are made obsolete by this new engine). There is tons of content with 67 missions, including branching side quests (you rarely have just one option of scenario to play). The strategy role playing game mechanics are very well done and it's 5G widescreen optimized. Additionally the "band of survivors" plot is compelling and you can carefully craft your team with equipment or character classes. Kingturn is easily the best iOS game I've played in some time. Often battles feel like "epic" stand-offs between your party and the opposing forces due to "capture the flag" style mechanics requiring you to storm and overthrow enemy barracks and palisades (forts). Aside from the driving narrative uniting scenarios a goal in Kingturn is to manage enemy respawns through tactical use of assorted classes to divide villainous armies and somehow capture their base. Taking and maintaining possession of enemy barracks/forts impacts how many units either side can keep in play. Character customization is a highlight. Kingturn has a great variety of 30 playable classes unlocked through progression. You can equipt each playable character with 4 individual equipment types. Some characters are eltite/hero units (also uncommon in many SRPGs). Enemy variety is also good; for example some villian classes can only be damaged with magic and other better dealt with by physical attack and attacks vary similarly. There are several types of damage types - physical, magic, bow and each armor protects differently (i.e. one armor might have high physical resistant but low arrow protection) so that's another level of customization. Legendary/rare loot items come into play by being earned through quest rewards (often through bonus side quests) or sending your team to nab often difficult to obtain treasure chests located on the many battle fields. Another highlight is the ability to customize the difficulty mid-game by adjusting either difficulty setting or enemy respawn rate. Kingturn starts are a default recommended by developer but if you'd like it harder or easier you can set to taste. Kingturn, and strategy games in general, won't "be" for everyone... but there's a link describing the improvements made in Kingturn. http://www.mangobile.com/Mangobile/KingturnOverview.html.

TrexlerRanger Member Feb 21, 2013 21 0 0 #10 TrexlerRanger, Apr 11, 2013 Been playing this one for the last few days due to a pre-release code from Dev. Really been enjoying the game and completely losing track of time submersing myself in it. This game has tons of depth and as you play through, you discover layer after layer of strategy. Definitely worth checking out and determining if it's worth the unlock for you. undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #11 undeadcow, Apr 11, 2013 Last edited: Apr 12, 2013 The drawings aren't as polished probably due to the indie origins of Mangobile. While playing I perceive Kingturn to be on par with 16-bit SNES; but for gameplay Kingturn can't be beat. Presentation looks crisp for what it is in Retina on my iPod Touch 5G and it's a Universal app. Each character has an constant animation which also helps add detail to the presentation. By the way, there's an option to zoom in and out of the playing field which helps set the display to your preference for a device. Zooming in some of the backgrounds, like grass and trees, have a nice texture with veins on crop leaves etc. Graphics won't blow you away but in gameplay seem serviceable to me. I'll be curious to see how you and others find it. Kingturn has been a lot of fun so far for me even if the graphics aren't stratling. Edit: Looking at the screenshots in the first post, they seem blurry compared to the actual game. My guess is that the developer just took images from Google Play that might not accurately reflect highest resolution on iOS. actionrpg8000 Well-Known Member Sep 17, 2012 195 0 16 #12 actionrpg8000, Apr 11, 2013 You should have seen the graphics on Knighturn then. That being said, I picked up Knighturn when the dev put it back on the App Store and the gameplay has had me playing it compulsively. Will pick up and unlock Kingturn day one, even though I will hold off playing it till I finish Knighturn.

The sprites look pretty nice, and the spell animations and such are nice touches. Looking forward to trying this one. bigred447uk Well-Known Member Apr 16, 2009 1,241 3 38 #15 bigred447uk, Apr 11, 2013 The art is beautiful in this app. Characters to environments to the drawings of all the gear and items are superb IMO. dhgamer Well-Known Member Dec 25, 2008 364 0 16 New York #16 dhgamer, Apr 11, 2013 Enjoyed their other games and looking forward to this one tonight. I thought some people might be interested in the game manual while waiting.

The 4.8/5 Google Play rating for the Android edition also seems very positive... I half expect App Store to crash under the weight of how awesome Kingturn is. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #18 Gabrien, Apr 11, 2013 Just played through the first battle, and glad to say for someone like me who isn't really into the genre, the interface and game logic felt fairly straight forward and intuitive. Aesthetically, I think the game looks fine. I sensed a kind of early Heroes of Might and Magic vibe, which is definitely nice. I couldn't help wishing for higher resolution, but it's no big deal. Technically, everything appears to run smoothly and work well. This pricing model works really well for those not sure about the genre (like me,) or those who might have qualms about the graphics. The game's engaged my interest for now, and if it manages to hold it to the end of the free scenarios I'll be more than happy to grab the full game. Definitely check this one out. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #19 syntheticvoid, Apr 11, 2013 Last edited: Apr 11, 2013 nevermind - I'm just a little slow sometimes...
