    I'm not into Warhammer at all, but Regicide is awesome. I too dropped for Sentinels as soon as it went universal, and I loved it right away, so I bought all the expansions too! I have hopes for this one. It isn't my usual game, but I'll go for it based on impressions here.

    The update is actually out. :)

    Oh, and other than some elements of text being tiny, it's perfectly playable on SE.

    What are you supposed to do with the glowing circles, in the study using the physic power?

    Haha thanks for that, I'll just leave it downloading overnight and hope it manages to pull through:)

    I guess I'll try it on the mini first, and eventually switch to SE if the performance doesn't hold up. But I'm hopeful, since someone earlier said their mini 2 was running the game smoothly.

    Not impressed with this at all. All you seem to do is follow the story, run from place to place, fight a little, solve a few pathetic and meaningless puzzles, acan a few items, rinse and repeat. I haven't made a real choice of what to do, it's really difficult finding your way around as there is no map and the move is very sensitive. You can turn around 180 degrees and not realise as the 'waypoints' are pretty much useless. Very very repetitive and very very frustrating. Plus of course, the dialogue keeps going, music sometimes stay strong: without the subtitles you wouldn't have a clue as to what is going on, even with them it's hard to follow. Not being able to save is also a nuisance as the frustration leaves me to leave the game frequently. And battery, don't even go there. I am on an iPad Air 2 and within a VERY short time I am down to 10%. In fact, for a time I thought that the sound cutting out was the game conserving the battery. Very disappointed and will try and get a refund. I am in Australia so it's not likely that I will have any luck with that.

    And this is with the update!

    Sorry to hear that you're not enjoying yourself.

    The game is adapted from a book, which is why there is not much decision making on the players part story-wise. We've stuck to the story of the book.

    The update out today should fix your audio balancing problems.

    Also, as far as battery, our iPads in the office can run the game for a few hours before needing a re-charge... But with a lot of these tablets it depends how you use it. The batteries can suffer from a it of wear and tear. We only use outs for testing... Which will give a different result to someone who uses their iPad generally and regularly for a variety of stuff.

    Game looks great on the iPhone but it really drains battery like crazy. It goes down by 1% per minute and phone gets pretty warm at the back. Not that I'm totaly surprised by this. But the truth is the only other game which makes my iPhone warm and drains battery like Xenos was NFS:No Limits. No other title comes to my mind. Anyways I'd like to see more games like this on the iOS. Definitely worth 10 euros. Good job guys.

    If you want, try lowering the screen brightness on your phone. If you go to our setting menu, in 'graphics' there is a gamma adjustment slider which will fake brightening up the screen for you to compensate. Your phone will still get hot, but it should be A LOT better.

    Thanks for the tip. Will try that later. I'm still impressed how good the game looks and how smooth it runs on my 6S Plus. And I love WH40k universe.

    Update fixed loading issues on my iPad Air 2. The games looks great on both my iPad and iPhone. Mfi support is a plus. It's plays a little slow for my taste at certain points but I'm still impressed none the less.

    I keep getting the validation error again even after the update,I thought that would be addressed.It's fine having to reinstall 3GB once,it's not cool having to do it more than that.
