TouchChatterbox Well-Known Member May 21, 2009 593 0 0 #3 TouchChatterbox, Jun 30, 2011 Looks awesome Will wait for impressions though as never played this type of thing before IRL let alone as an app. Great level of polish. Just wondering if the online multiplayer lets you challenge anyone or if it's randomised? nicoga3000 Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2010 420 0 0 Structural Engineer Indianapolis, IN #4 nicoga3000, Jun 30, 2011 As a board game, Ascension is a blast.

Now I'm extra curious. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #7 currymutton, Jun 30, 2011 According to the link and the appinfo, looks like some cards have been cut, or is it not? At work place now and cannot really try it out. dexter77 Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 389 0 0 #8 dexter77, Jun 30, 2011 Just finished to learn the Shadow Era mechanics and i have been blown away by it's fascinating atmosphere, this one looks very interesting too, i hope to find here some impressions before to buy it... Gosh, I'm already very tempted! AiffA New Member Apr 29, 2011 1 0 0 #9 AiffA, Jun 30, 2011 Does anyone know if this is compatible with a Second Gen Ipod Touch? The requirements section in the left column of the Itunes store says it is, but the summary only mentions Third and Fourth Gen. tecwrtr Well-Known Member Aug 18, 2010 586 0 16 Senior Technical Writer Richmond, VA #10 tecwrtr, Jun 30, 2011 Has anyone tried it yet? If so, I'd love to hear your impressions! Is it anything like Dominion or Thunderstone? twiccan Well-Known Member Feb 16, 2010 72 0 6 #11 twiccan, Jun 30, 2011 Got this a little while ago. I am a relative newb to the whole "deck building" genre, having only played the Gundabad game on my iPod, which is a clone of Dominion. I was expecting almost the same exact type of game here. And it is similar, although I was pleasantly surprised by the mechanics of this game. I actually like them a lot better than Dominion/Gundabad. The main differences are: Instead of a set number of type of cards that stay constant throughout a whole game, this game has a row of cards that are defeated or recruited and then other cards replace the ones used up, so you never know what the next card is going to be. Also, instead of just primarily buying cards that let you buy more cards as in Dominion, there are cards to both buy and defeat, which feels like a much more balanced experience. Technically I have no complaints about this app. The screen is really busy to be sure, but you are never lost as to what is going on, and there are shortcuts all over the place that really let you streamline the gameplay. After playing this on my iPod, I really want the physical version now, and that wasn't the case after I played Gundabad. tecwrtr Well-Known Member Aug 18, 2010 586 0 16 Senior Technical Writer Richmond, VA #12 tecwrtr, Jun 30, 2011 Thanks for the quick impression! I'll have to check out Gundabad too. Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #13 Vovin, Jun 30, 2011 I'll get this for sure. The board game is great, trust me - and this app looks highly polished. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #14 currymutton, Jun 30, 2011 Last edited: Jun 30, 2011 Ran down the 8 pages long rulebook which is very clear and concise and beautifully constructed. Onto the tutorial right now (not a video!) Minor problem: when the tutorial says "drag an Apprentice" it actually means drag ALL Apprentice cards.

Price for this app is absolutely ok. The board game costs 6-8 times as much. About the game: I love the game, because it is very fair - every player has exactly the same chance to win, it all depends on your skill and your strategies. You just have to be flexible. The only time the factor of luck comes into play is when new cards are drawn. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #16 currymutton, Jun 30, 2011 Don't have the time to finish the first game yet but I have to agree. You do not need to pour extra money to enjoy it and you can set pace and enjoy async multiplay. I also find the price is about right.

No offense. Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #19 Vovin, Jun 30, 2011 Well, he's either quite good or he has accidentally chosen the Toddler-mode.

Only to realize now that I was searching for " acsension" and not "ascension"! So was never going to find it! D'oh!! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
