Shut up! You guys really added achievements?!?! Do I need to start over to get them or just continue on? I am not far in if that helps the decision?
@Amenbrother - we go the distance for our customers! Glad you're excited. You asked for them! There are 5 story achievements (7 in the next release) and depending on how far you are, you might have missed one. The rest are gameplay driven, so you should be fine to continue your game. If you want to tell me where you are, I can provide a full answer while still avoiding spoilers. We'll be adding more over future releases as we add some really exciting new content to the game as well.
Wow I guess you guys do! Anyway I just made it out of the prison, I am about to buy the first episode. Do I need to start over or no?
@AmenBrother - nope, if you're just there you are fine to continue. You haven't missed any of the story achievements!

Excited to have just released the Heroes of Steel comic to iTunes / iBooks! https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/heroes-of-steel/id960760665?mt=11
Bought this on a whim and I've got to say, I'm totally enthralled! It's just the right mix of story, exploration, and strategy. The devs have put a lot of love into the game since it's release and it shows. I'd hardly call this 3 stars anymore, time for an updated TA review? Thank you devs!
Is there any sharing of saves between iPhone and iPad? Would love to be able to play on both but don't see a way to sync right now. -Greg
Just got to the point in the game, where vraes stomps on the ground and say 'try to stop me stomp on your holy ground' -priceless This is maybe the strangest game to fall in love with, started really kitchy and cliche, but really grows on you - especially the story
Heroes of Steel is 50% off for the Thanksgiving weekend and through Black Friday. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/heroes-of-steel-rpg/id730818431?mt=8
Unlike the "Elite" thread, this one seems to be back in action, so I will just copy and paste what I wrote there here ... I purchased the "Elite" version of this yesterday evening on the strength of Shaun Musgrave's "RPG Reload" (re)review of the game ... and I have to say that although I am still toddling along in the first dungeon, I am enjoying this game immensely. The fact that there is so much more content to look forward to (91 dungeons and about a dozen towns - did I get that right?) just makes it better. I am wondering, though, about whether there are advantages (other than just a bit of variety) to purchasing the other four characters: do they unlock new areas, quests, plot twists, etc. ... or are they just an alternative set of faces/skills with which to play through the game? Don't get me wrong - I'm definitely digging the game ... and if the attention to detail, etc. continues as I progress further, I will definitely be throwing some more money at the devs on principle alone. I'm just curious what to expect! Rob
@Rob - thanks for the post and the encouragement. Shaun's latest re-review was great. Each of the four characters brings their own 10 Talents and mix of abilities to the game and can really change play and combat dynamics. There are limited areas in the game that are locked to certain characters, different approaches to storylines available if you have Kjartan or Vincent, as an example. I don't want to give these impression that these are often, but there are branches. Also, each character has their own unique voice and a lot of special dialog has been written to support that.
