Universal Outwitters - (by One Man Left Studios)

Discussion in 'iPhone and iPad Games' started by crex, Jul 4, 2012.

  1. Only just played a few games so far, and I haven't find good uses of snipers either. Move too slow to ever get in range of combat.

    But so far it seems it doesn't really pay off to build the bigger units. I have had better luck with the cheap fast runners, maybe boosted a little by a medic, which can quickly get forward on a suicide mission to kick the base.

    Why would you play an async game then? That is like me playing a FPS online and complaining that I can't pause...

    Great game but it really takes a long time to finish a game.

    I see Huk in the screenshots on itunes, is that really who I think he is?

    I wa thinking the exact same thing, but I don't think it is possible. Must be some kind of joke.

    Lol, if that's Huk, he's really slowing things down xP.

    Not to brag (too much), but I'm now 5-0, and I've spent an hour total, if even, on the game. Deleted 20 people from my GC list, so feel free to add me now: Backtothis. Shoot me an invite once I buddy you, thanks. Going to start up my placements in a bit.

    Everytime I try to rejoin a game, it starts to load then the game crashes. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I've turned my iPhone 4s on and off and cleared it frim multi-tasking but that hasn't worked.

    Apple seemd to have some problems with a DRM server the last couple days so it might be a good idea to delete the game from your device and reload it directly from the App Store. As the games are in the cloud anyways you won't loose any progress/active games.

    I like this game a lot. I play on my US iPhone that doesn't work where I live, London, so I can only play when I am home with wi-fi (when it's not broken, ha!). So anyway, I am sympathetic to those who take awhile on their turns. If you don't mind a delay, go ahead and invite me: Wicked8146

    I paid the $2.99 for all the content. I loved Tilt to Live and honestly, after seeing Indie Game: The Movie, I'm going to give smaller teams like One Man Left my money. So far they are 2 for 2 with quality games IMO.

    same here... I instantly paid the money. This is a great game and is easily worth the meager $2.99.

    I really do wish there was an offline mode but oh well, I'm willing to give it a try.

    But man this game is huge! I thought it'd be small for a 2d turn based game. I wonder what all that size is for..

    Yeah, basically a game that puts your life on hold for hours. You should't even be able to pee. I'm getting a bit tired of the impatient players that fill the chat with stuff like "Hurry! Faster! Come on! Give up if you're not gonna play!" Ffs, I AM playing. Everyone just needs to chill.

    Anyway, I keep getting errors when I try to submit my turn. Luckily, my moves get saved, but it's still annoying since I need to reload the game to re-submit.
     
  13. How much different are the other teams? If I understand correctly the units is basically the same, except for one special unit. Is that alone worth getting the other teams for?

    As said before, a single player mode would be extremely difficult to make an appropriate AI for. If you mean local mode, pass'n'play is a local offline game you can play with friends etc by passing around your device.

    As for the size, it is a very smooth universal and iPhone 4S+ iPad 3 retina compatible game.


    The teams indeed only differ in appearance and the special unit. Except, the units do change playing style around a bit. Additionally, with the character pack you buy, you also get the two associated maps which you can select in Friendly Matches and Pass'n'Play.

    I honestly recommend the Uber pack. I mean, the game right now is completely 100% with no ads etc either, and it is great value for all the teams and future ones added with future updates.

    I'm not sure at this stage. But it is worth getting to do right by some developers who are doing right by you. So long as you're enjoying the game of course.

    By the way, folks who don't mind/prefer slow(er) games, feel free to invite me as well.

    Well it's worth supporting the devs bringing an awesome online multiplayer game to the iPhone and iPad. It's darn cheap anyways to get the all-packs IAP. And while supporting the devs you even get different teams to play.
    If you like the game, is there really a question of buying the IAP? :confused:

    I'm seeing snipers as more of a defensive unit. What I've been doing is drawing out opponents runners with one of mine sitting in the middle of no where waiting for it to pounce. Occasionally I'll get lucky and it will draw out something bigger!

    Then BAM. They didn't even see it coming.

    I just bought them... Uber pack gives you everything: all teams and all maps and all future packs too, so I think is really worth it. Now I have more variety :)

    Still haven't played them. Something broken in my brain saying cuddly + deadly = too creepy for me.

    I'll stick to my fish pirates and multi-armed robots for now.
