Short of multiplayer basically not working 90% of the time for me, I am immensely pleased with this game....simple intuitive gameplay but very challenging at the same time....tactics and strategy required when things get hairy or you're toast. I still think melee and roll should be separate buttons though as you roll when you want to slash and slash when you want to roll a lot of times. Also the way the game sort of pauses you when you discover a new enemy or level up gets you killed often I notice
I love this game, it's great. I just wish it didn't crash so often when joining an MP game. Can't wait to see what new content is coming and how it plays with a gamepad!
I have constant crashing upon trying to enter mission 4. Closing everything,resetting ipad and even reinstalling the game didn't help. Totally sucks.
When you get around mission 10 things start to change up. No jungles or anything though haha. It looks more like an engineering room than the basic cargo deck type in the first 9 levels.
Game Impressions Pretty decent dual stick, with slight tactical elements. The default control system doesn't use dual stick but rather single touch. It works surprisingly well, but they luckily put work into dual stick controls which seem equally polished. A skill tree system for you soldier and upgrade tree for your weapons are both nice. The cover system is cool, but the enemies constantly charge so you can't use it as much as you should be able to. When you're able to use cover, it's pretty cool. The animations are awesome. I haven't played co-op yet, but going off the thread it sounds pretty cool. I'd say this is a recommended game.
Thanks for playing guys, we are currently working on fixes for the multiplayer bugs, things always get crazy once they leave the studio The join crash bug happens because the server is lagging compared to the client and the client is expecting some data, that's why some servers work and others don't. We are testing a new patched version as we speak and if all goes well it will be submited to Apple tomorrow. If you have any other bug reports please PM us here or send a mail to [email protected]
Wow, this thread has blown up mightily over the night. I should probably be buying this. One thing I want to know before I melee-mash that buy button: is there a strict no auto-aim control mode? JCho133 mentioned that even in dual stick mode, there is auto-aim when you just press the button without sliding for direction. Is there a way to turn this off? Call me unnecessarily principled or slightly obsessive-compulsive (really, I need to hear it more often), but I know that even getting in a few cheap shots via the involuntary auto-aim would bother me
I'm stoked that they'll be adding PVP multiplayer. Co-op is fun but playing against others will be a blast in this type of game. Absolute bargain for the $1.99, I must say.
I was kinda like "ehhh at first" but now I basically only auto aim. This game is very unique compared to other dual sticks and I think it benefits by having this dualality on the fly. There is not an option to turn it off, but don't worry, the game is only bettered by these controls. Now mash the buy button
I'll bet you my new, shiny iPhone 5S (which is yet to arrive, durnit, Apple), that I WILL be bothered by it, at least to a small extent, at least on principle But probably not enough not to have tons of fun, so... which of the 5 melee weapons you mentioned do I wanna pound the buy button with?
Haha I'd say either the Battle Wrench or the Plasma Cutter. Are you going to mash the buy button now or when ur 5S comes? I'd be glad to play wih you later today
Doing it fast, taking no damage to your health, multikills and melee kills, etc. I haven't figured out an actual formula but this seems to be the basis
Just did, that long-awaited 5S be damned! (But boy, do I have a list of iPhone 4-incompatible games to download and play in a maniac fashion once the device arrives. Now if I can just get Supergiant to put in a toggle to remove ranged auto-aim for Bastion, so I won't have to go back to play it on this very non-portable desktop computer...) Unless my iPhone 4 comes to a grinding halt because of the very nice graphics in Meltdown, I'd be glad to do some co-op plasma cutting later on!
Exceptional game. By the time you see the short intro you understand it, you "feel" it. 1) Controls 4,5/5. I like the option that you can switch between touch and Virtual Joystic. Whatever you choose you will have no problem playing but i believe Virtual Joystic controls suit better this game. I would like to have the option to use the slash button when moving too not only when the hero stands stills too. Sometimes i try to kill an enemy with melee attack and find that my hero dashes here and there. 2) Gameplay 5/5. Amazing. Do not get fooled by the genre of this game. This carries only the genre name of other ios titles and that's it. Yes the opponents have very high AI. I was amazed!!!!!! 3) Graphics 5/5. Stunning. As i said just looking at the screens or seeing the intro you can understand it. 4) Sound. 5/5. The music is something between.... dunno you have to hear the music in the game i really love it. 5) Skills. 5/5. Many weapons upgradeable at a fair price with money and cards earned ONLY through gameplay. Also there is a skill tree. 6) Iaps. 5/5. Forget it there are no necessary iaps here. You win everything through the game. Of course if you want ro support the devs more you can buy something but that's just it. 7) Multiplayer. 4/5. Crashes a lot but it will be fixed in future updates. I really love the thing that you and the other players do not have the same color and they also have names over their heads. Overall it is 5/5 for me. So solid gameplay so pleasing to the eye graphics forget other ios games of the same genre that failed to satisfy your gaming needs. This beast will get you playing for hours.
Now I'm getting constant crashes mid game during multiplayer, not just at the beginning The game is very aptly named because if I continue to attempt multiplayer I will have a "meltdown". It is a shame because it is way more fun and vastly rewarding vs singleplayer. Hope that update goes through soon.
