L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #3 L.Lawliet, Sep 13, 2017 I've literally been waiting for this for years and have been checking for this obsessively this week / today. Thanks so much for the quick find! I clicked buy so fast that if I got scammed I wouldn't have even realized it SO EXCITED. My favorite indie dev + one of my favorite genres. athros Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2011 239 13 18 DevOps Colorado #4 athros, Sep 13, 2017 I'm pretty excited to play this. Qvothe1331 Well-Known Member Jan 23, 2017 82 0 0 #5 Qvothe1331, Sep 13, 2017 Dont remember seeing any warning. Great surprise! GiHubb Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Apr 27, 2010 1,049 39 48 CEO #6 GiHubb, Sep 13, 2017 I'm wondering how the IAP for extra currency is balanced - is the game fair without it? Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #7 Brightsiderus, Sep 13, 2017 It should be. It cost 5$, how it may not be fair without it? L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #8 L.Lawliet, Sep 13, 2017 This game is absolutely incredible. Only played 2 levels on hard (since I'm very familiar with the genre) and it lives up to the hype. Everything is triple A quality. The animations (my favorite part of Iron hide games) are beautiful, voice acting is extremely well done, interface is responsive and easy to use. I could go on forever. My only gripe (maybe?) is that it doesn't look very long so far? You start on one world and then the full map shows there's one more world and then the 3rd world shows coming soon. If the maps aren't very long then I could see this being beaten very quickly. I was hoping there would be 3-5 worlds at opening but I guess I just assumed that since the development time was so long. Nonetheless, the game is could very well be GOTY for me. This is the mobile RTS I've dreamed of, and made by my favorite Indie company. I just want them to keep adding more to this! Did I mention the art is fantastic? I'm such a huge fan of the animator/artist, who I think contributed a lot to the success of Ironhide Games! Just look at that detail! There's animations for destroyed buildings, hilarious animations for unit swapping (you can change unit classes at will), and lots of nice background animations (little creatures running about). A lively world indeed. So far my favorite unit is the sniper. The girl's voice is breathtaking just like an SC Ghost and the high damage / long range is always my favorite in RTS. I'll stop typing and go back to playing redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #9 redribbon, Sep 13, 2017 this can easily become one of the best RTS on mobile. as always ironhide bring the best experience on each of their games. still using the same art style as kingdom rush(which i like), iron marines can offer you almost the same formula as kingdom rush series but with new cool power ups and upgrades. there is 3 heroes that you can use in the game and there are 6 more that you have to buy. this heroes iap are totally optional and you can finished the game without them. i cant noticed any other IAP so far but ill let you guys know if i can find anything. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel TheSop Well-Known Member Sep 24, 2016 264 0 16 #10 TheSop, Sep 13, 2017 Is this a tower defence game like the kingdom rush titles? Does it have cloud saving so I can play on my iPad and continue on my phone. Hambo12 Well-Known Member Jul 23, 2012 1,943 28 48 on the internet #11 Hambo12, Sep 13, 2017 do you think i would enjoy this type of game? as an rpg fan. never could get into kingdom rush games. nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 864 14 18 #12 nkarafo, Sep 13, 2017 Can you please share to us some impressions when you will play it? It is worth it? Is it like Kingdom Rush? Are IAPs necessary? Is it too hard? Thanks! Gwarmaxx Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2010 4,446 376 83 NCC 1701 #13 Gwarmaxx, Sep 13, 2017 thanks for the imps Lawliet... would have bought it anyway, Ironhide is a hell of a team! anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 703 113 #14 anthony78, Sep 13, 2017 Last edited: Sep 13, 2017 There are a ton of currency IAPs. Didn’t seem to work right now for me but they get very large so I’m sure some are pricey. Hoping they aren’t needed but kind of scared me a bit. Also a video ad option to earn currency for free. Edit: they’re now active and go all the way to $99. Really hope that isn’t a bad sign. GiHubb Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Apr 27, 2010 1,049 39 48 CEO #15 GiHubb, Sep 13, 2017 Two currencies, the ability to watch ads for more credits, it makes you wonder if this is balanced without the IAP. We've seen in the AppStore before supposedly premium games which play like F2P and these shenanigans don't instill much trust, especially in a strategy game where you don't know if you lost because your strategy was lacking or your units were underpowered as you didn't upgrade them enough by buying the IAP or grinding previous levels endlessly. I think I'll wait for more impressions and reviews. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #16 orangecan, Sep 13, 2017 If it was any other Dev I wouldn't be touching a five pound premium title with that kind of iap with a bargepole, but I'm still fairly tempted. The kingdom rush games all had iap from what I remember, and I seem to recall some pretty expensive ones...... L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #17 L.Lawliet, Sep 13, 2017 The Kingdom Rush games all had expensive iap which I'm not a fan of but it never stopped me in any of the games. As a fan of the games themselves, I ended up buying EVERY hero in all the Kingdom Rush games as they went on sale every now and then. There's actually only one currency but the second currency is for army upgrades. I'm not sure how those are accumulated in this game but those are fairly normal in all the Kingdom Rush games. Nothing in the IAP is surprising in this game if you've played the other Kingdom Rush games. L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #18 L.Lawliet, Sep 13, 2017 Ahh I can't really stop praising this game enough. The animations keep blowing me away. Hard mode is a great difficulty giving me a good challenge. One animation I really love is hero deployment. You can pick where you want them to deploy and it shoots a pod down to the ground. Just like my favorite ODSTs from Halo. (They should add a easter egg of them) Speaking of easter eggs, there's a lot. Remember to tap on random things you find in the scenery. They do things when clicked. I found a captain Picard and some others already! WjndWalk3r Well-Known Member Apr 22, 2015 305 5 18 #19 WjndWalk3r, Sep 13, 2017 as other KR games before, iap for gems are only worth for use some "cheat" like freeze the whole map, or nuke,... in-match for some lazy people. I hope they still keep the paywall like that, if so, the game is worth every penny nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 864 14 18 #20 nkarafo, Sep 13, 2017 I believe the same thing but we are still worried. At least you can change the difficulty. So, in easy mode perhaps you don't need to buy iaps. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

There are a ton of currency IAPs. Didn’t seem to work right now for me but they get very large so I’m sure some are pricey. Hoping they aren’t needed but kind of scared me a bit.

Two currencies, the ability to watch ads for more credits, it makes you wonder if this is balanced without the IAP. We've seen in the AppStore before supposedly premium games which play like F2P and these shenanigans don't instill much trust, especially in a strategy game where you don't know if you lost because your strategy was lacking or your units were underpowered as you didn't upgrade them enough by buying the IAP or grinding previous levels endlessly.
