This is really weird. I got the game yesterday because it was on sale and there was a big surprise and then I added my name "Solaris" Didn't get anything in the mailbox when I checked today
Everyone ought to take advantage of the sale for sure. Easily the best FPS for iOS in my opinion. I played for a while today and it seems like the game is a lot more stable now. Thanks for the quick updates Ryan!
I believe the gift was sent out sometime Friday night, US time, so if you registered your name after that time then you wouldn't have gotten it. I'd send you mine but I already merged it with my existing turret skill. Anyway, just play a while and you'll get that skill plus others just from looting. Also, I'm sure that another gift will go at some point in the not-too-distant future.
And if you don't mind me asking, what was Doomsday? I don't seem to have anything along those names in my inventory/skills...
Thought it would be on sale through the weekend? People are talking about getting it this AM, and still on sale, and is now showing up at $9.99... what weird times to pull stuff off sale...
Simply put it's the most useful skill in the entire game, only contenders IMO would be Adrenaline Rush and Doom's Eye. It's an automated turret you drop on the ground and it starts shooting any enemies near. Pretty similar to the Soldier special skill in Borderlands.
Heh? You drop the turret but the skill symbol remains where it was, only faded until recharged, it doesn't vanish or change place after activated.
Great game, but it crashes pretty regularly for me, which is irritating. I know only one guy made it, but the first few levels I've played all looked too similar and its easy to lose your way, thinking you were going down a different route than you actually were because the environment all looks the same. Aside from the lack of testing and polish, this is a really well thought out app and I'm glad the developer made it compatible with my 2nd Gen iPod!
Haven't crashed at all for me since the update. And also, there's a map. Zoom out far enough and you will see a yellow pointing where the boss is. Green arrows are mission objectives (if available)
Yea sale was over today I need to get that thread name changed (message in)... did not help sales at all ...in fact I lost more then I did the days before the sale.. interesting huh.. O well I am here to make a kick ass game and that is the goal!.. Glad to hear it is more stable!.. I may do another gift tonight!.. let the word out... I want to start giving more gifts =).. I will be in and out today... had to go buy a new nail gun.. argh.. expensive... work to do around the house. However, tomorrow I will be here collecting data while I work on getting the Corpse Tanks done for the next project =)...
If anything, its been crashing more after I updated. Thanks for letting me know the map shows objectives, as I had no idea... but I wish you could expand it to show the whole level.
... ... ... Press map in menu and spam the minus button... ... ... There's almost no point in seeing the whole level though, I usually stop after seeing my objective(s) or the boss location.
I really like the windowed menus in Europa, but the map gets unreadable on my low-res iPod Touch if I really zoom out.. Perhaps the map should fill the screen? If not, I feel like I should be able to drag the view around but, or course, it just moves the window... Maybe pointers at the edge of the map, or even on screen whilst playing? Just a thought.
It's impossible/very hard to move items around inventory etc to organise, as well as moving them to the skillslots. It also crashes frequently when trying to warp to a level.
It's actually really, really easy to manipulate your inventory once you figure out that you drop the skills in the top part of the skillslots/ inventory slots. I haven't had an issue with that since the first day I played and figured that out.. I was crashing when warping a *lot* before the udpate, but not now. (just my experience thus far)
Yeah, I was trying to put the item right into a box. Doing it slightly above and to a corner helps a lot.
So, count me as another happy owner of Mission Europa After reading most of this thread, some reviews on the Internet, and playing the free version for a couple of hours I bought the Collectors Edition. Just started the game (just around 1 hour of gameplay) so for me there is no point in joining the Arena, I will be squashed like a bug For an RPG (and science fiction, fantasy, cyberpunk) fan like me this game is a great breath of fresh air in iOS gaming. Ill write some more impressions after playing the game for a couple of hours. So far Im really enjoying it. And the graphics and audio style is awesome a mixture of s-f, System Shock and something like a really twisted dream man, you have some imagination there Great stuff all the way. About the technical side game crashed once, after the first 20min of the game, when I finished the first quest with battery and the holograph ended her short speech (if it helps - iPhone 3Gs, iOS 4.2, non-jailbroken, no apps in the background, restarted the phone after installing the game). Apart from that game runs and feels really good. After finishing Nova 2 I had no problem in finding myself with the controls. Btw nickname in the game Gunlock.
