Thanks, I picked it up and I don't regret it. Thankfully, there's no typical "fetch" quests in lots of the iOS RPGs... argh I hate those. Love the controls, very responsive. The game is was a little hard at first because I'm not used to the "three hearts" thing instead of an HP bar.
The Crypt Gold level is extremely long as well as hard.Im glad i completed it.Its even longer and harder than the orc camp.I think it should be nerfed as wel, it was a pain in the ass to complete this level.
Such an awesome game, only past the "getting the gauntlet" area, but loving it to death, the wait for this game was so worth it!
Is it longer to you than Demon Gold and Blorpx Gold? I wonder if we should just provide more lives. Since if you want a challenge, you want to just do it without using the lives system, anyway...
This game has to be one of the most impressive iOS titles I've played to date. All the elements of a classic - story, gameplay, depth, music, fun factor, come together in Mage Gauntlet. The humor stands out as well - Cilo done writing review, you jerks! Go buy game, or Cilo use Zappy Stick and make Jerks into JERK DIRT!
Yea, I'm stuck in the middle of those crypt levels right now, but I think more lives would be great. Master mode is for the very best, so why does it have to be so hard on everyone else who might just wanna get through the game first?
Only finished world 2 and gotta say great game so far. The action feels tight and love the whole environment. While I know breaking items will drop nothing..I also feel compelled to break everything. lol.. When playing RPGs, I tend to "conserve" spells..but I'm slowing trying to unlearn that and just use spells more in this game. The spells system is a good way let people play with different spells instead of just spamming the ones they like. The lack of a one button access to map bugged me at first..but now I don't even notice. The only thing other thing I don't like are the hidden paths (as a few others have mentioned). At least for my preference, I never liked looking for hidden paths in old rpgs. Personally, I'd rather grind a few levels then walk along all walls hoping to find an hidden path. But I feel like if I skip the hidden paths in this game..I'm going to miss out on some of the background story in this game.. =/ Don't know what you think of the idea where after you beat the game once, allow a setting in the option to enable "showing" where the hidden path is. Only allow this option if you've beaten the game once. You can do the lame thing of having an arrow point to the starting portion of the wall..or put a star or glowing "thing" over the wall. This way, people who don't like to look for hidden paths can beat the game once..then play again to access the hidden areas and not "miss" out on anything. Aside from this, can't wait till after work to continue playing. =D
No, that was just a quick one. Arena mode requires us to build some new systems from the ground up, it's not "withheld content" that's ready to go. Yeeaaah I'm not happy with the secrets. This wasn't how I originally intended the secrets to be, they were going to be much rarer, more obvious, and always have something interesting in them (unique art or a readable item or a hidden loot chest). It got changed due to a wacky misunderstanding, and it was so late in the process that I just didn't have the energy to redo all of them. Hell, should we just give you (THE PLAYERS IN GENERAL I MEAN) infinite lives in story mode? I'm actually considering it, heh. Story mode was intended to be something everyone could beat, really. There's the three star system and master mode (you only get one extra life in it), so I'm really considering this...
Heh.. i can't believe that i got this game... It's because i'm never up for these pixelated graphics... But.. but.. I'm enjoying the game so far I'm just at the gardens, but it's fun so far. The controls are extremely easy... i expected something much harder, but it's a joy controlling this game I would have two questions though... Is there any way to see what does exactly a spell do? Other than using them..? For example i have no idea what Lucky and Extralucky do... The other question is that what i need to do for 3 stars on a level? I got 3 stars on the first one and 2 stars on the others after that one..
Doesn't make everything kinda pointless though? If you can ressurrect over and over again you might as well give infinite health. There needs to be a penalty, one bigger than losing the three stars rating.
I found the Orc level brutal, I still have yet to beat it! (Leveled me up 20 times before I gave up). The main "issue" I have with this level is that there are not ENOUGH heart canisters, especially since this is normal mode not master. If you add say, 3 or 4 more heart canisters I should be able to beat it, while still keeping things challenging as I have to go and break the containers. You also should be able to raise your total hearts from 3-5 based upon level ie. level 100 +1 heart, level 300 + another heart (level 1000 secret bonus heart) That will keep people leveling up past the skill point cap. You know test it and stuff, see if its worth it. The last thing I have a serious issue with is the odd gamecenter/open feint intergration... What happened here? Can I use both at the same time with OF being my primary one I can choose to view achievements in game? Seems to not work for me at least. I know that if I turn off OF then game center takes full control and I can't even check that from the game. I recommend allowing for only 1 to be seen as the primary but achievements get saved to both so I stop switching back and forth to keep unlocking them... It also caused a nasty bug where OF didn't work for me until I COMPLETELY RESTARTED my iPhone.
No infinite lives please. It is already easy enough with the option to restart the level. Btw every time I exit the game, my ipad2 autorotation gets messed up ....
Do you know anything about my other question? Is there some kind of description for each spell? Or i have to try them?
