But it's free (with IAP, of course), will give a twirl later today. @Herocraft: Did I miss something? Are people who play "hardcore strategy/tactics wargames" suddenly more inclined to go with free+IAP and permanent internet connection? That would really surprise me. Personal opinion: Either your Marketing (I guess?) department bumbled it, or you got your target group wrong in the app description. Talbs Well-Known Member May 1, 2011 2,597 368 83 #3 Talbs, Nov 23, 2016 ^ Agree. Would love to pay $5-$10,which lets face it, is the going rate, and have this as offline, mine to own at my will. As it stands I won't be touching it. Though I could well be in the minority. It does look decent by the art. Repulsa Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 1,582 79 48 #4 Repulsa, Nov 23, 2016 It is decent gameplay wise but it is not the type of game that should be playable with internet only or have IAP. This game should have been premium. jsrco Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Oct 15, 2009 2,134 1 38 Coordinator Seattle https://www.Fatthunder.com #5 jsrco, Nov 23, 2016 The app icon on the store is enough to make Blizzard get involved.

As for free internet connection, they're a Russian developer, their premium games did poorly historically speaking, and this model's a lot more popular outside of the US, so I'm not surprised at all. Not like blizzard's gonna file a copyright claim against them, despite that blatant reaper of souls on their icon. It'd cost more for their lawyers to figure out where to send the notice for the complaint than they'd recover in a suit like this, if at all. It's a shame Apple lets stuff like this through. Check out some of the other threads for their games, you'll see what they're all about lmao. nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 860 9 18 #8 nkarafo, Nov 24, 2016 Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnQ6KNVfNwY Jirlix New Member Nov 24, 2016 2 0 1 #9 Jirlix, Nov 24, 2016 The icon is like Malthael from D3.. walmartpolice Well-Known Member May 12, 2012 162 0 0 #10 walmartpolice, Nov 24, 2016 Wait why are they suddenly aping blizzard assets? Their other games were fine. ramzarules Well-Known Member Sep 13, 2014 2,112 128 63 Greece #11 ramzarules, Nov 24, 2016 why would you shoot yourself in the foot and make a TBSRPG without battle animations? And F2P? Especially when a few weeks ago the premiums Demon's Rise 2 and Mercenaries Saga were released, and now FFTactics is on sale. Herocraft has great premise for their games, then they have one decision that kills it for me. Baffling. Nullzone ð® Spam Police ð Jul 12, 2013 3,669 79 48 Male #12 Nullzone, Nov 24, 2016 Played for half an hour, deleted. Nope. Could be a good game, but falls quite short. Graphics are okay, but nothing special. Details like no abilities to zoom in/out, the goofy huge size of some characters and a not too good UI put me off further. Add the usual F2P stuff like timers, multiple currencies and whatnot, and I'm not willing to spend more time with it. Sad in a way, since this does have potential in my opinion. Current state of it, games like Demon's Rise series win hands down without breaking a sweat. While I don't have a problem with F2P per se, when you target a small niche hardcore audience - which is what Tactics games players are, you'll never see sales like for Angry Birds here - you better make sure to push all their right buttons from day one. I'd be really curious to see numbers after a month or half a year, if it paid off. My prediction is "no, it didn't". houseofg Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Oct 1, 2013 1,598 75 48 #13 houseofg, Nov 24, 2016 Thanks for the imps.

Nope, stand up dev here, whose games haven't been bashed in the forums for being straight up IAP cash grabs lmfao. I own quite a few, exactly because they're mobile knock offs of more successful games that won't ever get a direct port. stubbieoz Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2015 1,878 355 83 Male Grey haired gamer NSW Australia #15 stubbieoz, Nov 24, 2016 Agree with Nullzones comments. I played the game for an hour and realised that the game is going to constantly keep hitting you to pay up for iaps. The character graphics are nice to look at but the animations are stiff and out of sync with the sound effects. The gameplay is boring with no need for any strategic thinking. The play area is claustrophobic. The impressive amount of skills are really not all that impressive when you realise that groups of skills along the chain are exactly the same as the previous except you increase the chance by 5%. Not for me thanks.
