yup, me too... I've played 4 times through now, and only got one treasure item that wasn't gold, and it was a junky magic ring... I'm thinking the only way I can enjoy iPhone mode anymore is if I fold and buy the stupid charm...
the most annoying thing about this item is the fact they made game where a lot of grinding is a must, if you want to get achievements or more important to get good scores, and then release the fix which is more expensive than other iaps in the game.
I'm not concerned at all with completing the collection... I just want to enjoy iPhone mode... I want to play on Hard difficulty... I want to be able to play for score... It just sucks that to do this I've gotta pay $4... $4 that I don't really have... If I do decide to get it, I won't be able to until the end of the month... Just sucks... I'm not very happy about it.. But with how much I've given Cave in the past... it's pretty silly to be complaining about $4... I mean, I've bought soundtracks, all 4 of their iOS games... art books... =o/ Oh well... I'll get over it... judging from some of the reviews and comments on here, not a lot of people will... =o/ Hope this doesn't ruin Cave's iOS sales in the future... I'd hate to have to buy a 360 just to play Cave games...
I must say that I was not biggest fan of iphone mode.. (maybe coz bad equipment I had).. and this 4$ (Lucky Charm) changed my whole iphone mode experience!! Maybe this sucks a bit - paying extra money for something that should have be some kind of bug fix (low drop rate) included in this update.. But now with this insane imba drop rate I'm really stuck in iphone mode collecting sets hoping for new puzzle pieces and looking for better items to increase score in hard mode. I don't know why is that but I find myself into this game like first day I bought it because this update! I even set background image from cave's blog on iphone I don't regret single dollar I gave to Cave coz their games get me so much fun! Weapons are next on my wish list!
I bought the resurrection gun because it looked fun and it is. As far as I'm concerned I still owe Cave money for all of the enjoyment they provide. I don't have an XBOX so I really hope they decide to bring more of their games to iOS (Ketsui! Ibara! Akai Katana!). I didn't buy the lucky charm, because I figured it would throw off my stats a bit...I probably will now though.
Instead of publicly showing the pic to many (me, for instance) who haven't complete the game, how about using the spoiler tag?!
I had downloaded the update a while ago but didn't really pay attention to it. Just barely I played for a bit and went into the shop and saw all of the IAPs. Is there a way that you can get them without spending real money, and are they worth getting?
You cannot get the IAPs in-game. The only IAP that I think is really useful is the Lucky Charm. All of the rest are worse than the best in-game items. There are a few that are kind of fun too, since they change your attack to look like that of other Cave games. Edit: The extra continues can be pretty useful too, depending on how many it takes you to complete a run.
Yeah, I agree. Though, given the way the TA forums handle spoilers, I don't think it would work for images. Instead, he should really upload the image to Imageshack or something, and provide a link to the image rather than inlining it.
Finally, items achievement was completed. Next goal might clear hard mode without continue! Castle is hell in hard mode!
bought the f charm, the item spawn rate is very good. on one stage even got more than ten items. also got unique item on hard mode, wing blade. the game is more fun now because you get useful drops, but it should be so without additional iaps. btw, do unique items have some additional power or it's like normal weapons with it's stats and only attack looks different?
I don't know but you can upload the image to someplace else and put the link here. Tiara will behave like characters in arcade mode. If you use thorny whip you won't be able to lock enemy in front of you, if you use the wand you get very powerful lock even with low stat but unfortunately the control is not as easy as in arcade mode.
Samething here, after going thru an item drop dry spell, I decided to purchase the lucky charm & now I'm getting numerous good items. But I can't help but wonder is this just a coincidence or by design? ( finally unlocked hard mode 3 continues but I did it)
it seems like it is designed in that way, i mean with this charm there is also almost no stupid one attribute rings but good items.
