Game Impressions Great game, glad I picked it up. The best comparison I can give is the Mega Man: Battle Network series, minus the twitch/action reflexes. There is also no maze/exploration. You build your deck out of 'cards'. When the battle starts, there are four cards dealt. Each turn you draw another. The cards are generally simple: direct damage, DoT (damage over time), redraw all cards, boost defense, etc... You go from town to town, and get 'quests' to kill monsters. The game IS a bit of a grind, but it's about what I expected. You grind through the first zone, slowly building you deck. When you're powerful enough to get through the zone, you move into the next zone. In the next zone, you make a lot more money and the cards are a lot more powerful. You slowly phase out your old cards, and add to new ones -- rinse & repeat. My description makes it sound kind of boring, but I consider it fun in the same vein as Game Dev Story or 'Sims' games. It's a slow/predictable progression, but fun because of collection aspects -- in this case, collecting cards. Sadly, cards are purchased rather than 'won' (I like games where you win random cards through battling) but the system works well enough. It's a very casual game that doesn't require too much thinking, which is great when you're on the go. I bought Order & Chaos at the same time as this, but gravitate towards this being it's not so involved. I don't know to what extent customization is actually important (eg: do you ever need to customize your deck, or just throw in your most powerful cards?) but I'm enjoying it so far. I'm currently in the second of 4 or 5 zones.
This game seems so cool! I would definitely get, but does it really not work on the older generation iPod Touch? I have a 2nd generation so that is like the only thing holding me back..
In that regard, the 5th zone is a bit of a letdown since it forces you to use the strongest cards in large quantity to win. 3rd and 4th zones however are quite interesting and you can really try out a few different strategies, having to balance your deck between pure DPS and damage reduction. This said, a friend of mine won against the last boss with a pure, high HP "warrior" build of blades and attack up, and I did it with a total wizard build, low HP and negative effects. It is not the richest or the deepest system obviously, but it allows for some light strategy in deck building.
Do like the game but wish it had more depth and involved more strategy. For instance, It would be nice if the fire based spells got a damage boost when facing the undead, or the wind magic did more against flying etc...This would make choosing your 20 cards more about strategy and less about just picking the most powerful cards every time.
I'm currently at Fifthia, and I already aquired Salamander's ashes. However, I can't get the game to proceed because the guy in the guild won't say anything new and the king still says the same thing. What do? Edit: Nevermind, I didn't know you needed a bunch of Salamander's ashes to proceed.
I'm ****ed...and very angry!!! I'm in the fourth land and finished his Iron Golem mission. Now he asks me to kill all the Poison Worms. JUST GREAT. I already did that while mopping off the stupid golems which the game does not seem to notice. Now I'm stuck and utterly pissed after spending some hours on this game. I should have rather spent more time with my guitar instead.
well.. u can try talk to the sexy barmaid again... it will reset the missions for the town. Btw, this game does not need strategy at all. Just grinding and grinding until u can afford the better cards.. It is almost impossible to lose.. I am glad i did not end up buying this game...
How do you beat the final boss? (dragon something)? I have approx 1200 HP and he has over 3k, I use the dragon slayer on him with the 3x multiplier but he always knocks me down before i get him. What kind of deck is good for him? Thanks
To beat him, I had a full magic deck, with 11 earthquakes, 1 magical spring, 4 pass, 1 burst, 1 dragon slayer, and 2 snowblind. The trick was to get the snowblind asap (pass and magical spring should help enough) and grind away his HP while I was lining earthquakes and the occasionnal burst + pass. He only touched me once, which is good with only about 1000 hp. For a sword build, You still have to bring some Pass in order to have more HP. Maybe a tower shield or two...
GameCenter Hi guys, ver1.4 downloaded right now!! "-Add leaderboard in gamecenter." mmm...it's the ranking of shortest conquest days. How many days did you conquer？
Well, it gives a reason to replay the campaign with a more focused approach, but it's pretty thin. Any future updates on the horizon?
Forget Pass and all the other crap. Don't even buy Magic cards. They are useless and give less HP. Just buy 3-4 War Cry, 3-4 Power Attack, 5-8 Dragon slayer The rest, put whatever you want for you deck. Just make sure you have about 1300-1400HP. First play - War Cry Second play - Power Attack Third play - Dragon Slayer This combo does 1800 damage. Few more hits and Dragon is dead.

This game is pretty tight except for all the poor English. Also, if you get a text or call, forget about whatever you were doing because the game restarts from the main menu when you come back. Other than that it's actually really fun.
Does this game feature Mermaids? I hope so because the game looks like fun but I only buy games with mermaids.
Almost finished the game last night, just need to get a few more Dragon Slayer cards to make the attempt. Does anybody know how to best utilize Burst? It doesn't seem to be a sum of your other cards' HP or attack powers...
