Before anyone gets crazy about an energy system, yea I know I can't believe I'm saying this since I'm the biggest anti energy person, let's wait and see what it's all about. There may be options for unlimited energy. We don't know. Plus this dev is so responsive and his work is just awesome I'm sure it will work out. We can always ask for options. Let's not go down the rabbit hole before we know. I personally can't wait until tomorrow. Billy
Anxiously awaiting this too. Hoping the energy system isn't too restrictive but would love an IAP to do away with it if possible.
Quick update. Here is the new URL to Ire - Blood Memory. Again, if you were a beta or soft launch tester your character should be alive, as it is tied with your Apple iTunes account. If you have a problem accessing your previous account for Ire, please send us an email at support[at]10birds[dot]com. We will try our best to sort things out as quickly as we can. App Store: https://appsto.re/i6hb66N Again, there is a great user group on Discord. We don't regulate it. A lot of great ideas are generated from this group, and the moderators send us feedback or suggestions. In fact, we have implemented some of the suggestions that we could, though that was dependent on our development schedule as well. Discord (user created chat group): https://discord.gg/NumcB7D Thanks for your support and interest. Back to work, and I will try to check back in and look at your comments when I can. If it's something really important then please give Discord or our support email a try. Thank you!
AWESOME!!! Can't wait!!! (But it's not yet available in Australia) EDIT: Oooh! It's released!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back into the Ire we go!!!
Just tried the updated version for a bit and .....WOOOOOOW . The game is more of a proper third person action game, ala dark souls , now than a top down game that it was before . The graphics have been completely overhauled, not just upgraded, this is basically a new game . My first impressions are extremely positive .
Still you ire, bone shards work just like before (A resource used in and gained from hunting other AI-controlled player characters, and to access the occasional world boss. They do not gate regular gameplay.) To change your fighting style, you only need to find/craft a weapon of said style. (I might have been unusually lucky among the doomed souls of the Ire, but I found two tarnished blades of the new dual wield style after only five battles.) EDIT: Devs, first bug catch of the day for ya: when saving an equipment preset, the currently equipped armor, weapons and accessories will always be saved to the preset (regardless of what I have added to the preset).
:O All i can say for this new game -because it IS a new game- is WOW. I tried IRE last year, and while i wanted to like it, it felt not user friendly so i stopped. Tried IRE2.0 and TLDR : i was blown away. The graphics, animation, art style, and BLOOD finally in an ARPG. Everything is phenomenal. I get some bonuses for Old Champions achievment, along with my old level 5 character and blue dual wielding swords. So i equip them and try the combat. So fluid. Then i get a green Greatsword, and i try this out too. 2 monsters in, i dodgeroll a giant lion only to CUT IT IN HALF with in a spray of blood. The menus are much more user friendly now, although there are so many menus that i still don't know what everything does. Shards, ires, echoes etc i have no idea what they all are and what they do. And i don't know where and what to buy to give you guys money. Because i want to, because dark ARPGs don't get better than this. Especially recommended for those who are tired of punching pandas, swordsmen in flashy dresses, or money grabbing dungeon hunters and want something between Diablo2 art and Dark Souls gameplay.
All I can say is WOW. What an amazing overhaul. Graphics, gameplay and everything makes an already great game 1000x better. Will hold off on making comments about balance until I get further. But so far -- job well done! And I hope this version gets the recognition it deserves!
Absolutely hope so too! Can we get a review out for this, to give the game some well deserved attention? Been playing for a longer bit this evening, and so far i would sincerely recommend it to anyone who has a thing for crafty, dark action rpgs. Totally getting the diablo II / dark souls vibe here... P.s.: lest i forget, as this is kinda my pet peeve : the game is very nice on your battery on high graphic settings, but also has the option to turn graphics down a bit (still looks superb) and save even MORE power! Cannot state enough how much i appreciate this !
So this is back! And it requires a network to play. Did the original one, as well? Haven't tried this new version yet, but I'll let you guys know when I do.
They both needed network to play. Pretty bummed they didn't just decide to remove that with the new release.
The online only kind of sucks but I loved this game when it came out and this new version is an improvement in almost every way -- interface, graphics, menus, etc. Was also quite surprised that your cloud save carries over with everything you had. Thought the dev said it wouldn't.
It's not obvious but the little menu on the right side is now where you have all your rewards for achievements and email gifts. Have no idea if it had anything to do with just being a past player but Iiterally just got over 2,000 gems (like $20 worth) from my inbox. Might want to check if you are a returning player! Also think difficulty may have been toned down a bit. Easily got past the levels I was struggling with prior to the update. Well, not easily, but I got past them on the first try.
The visuals are gorgeous with this new version. You've done a fabulous job, pretty much all around. I have to ask one thing, though; Are there any plans to add MFI support? I ask this, because it's rather difficult to play on a 12.9" iPad Pro, with small hands.
